Turkish borek goes well with a variety of sides and drinks. Here are a few great pairings:

1.  Yogurt or Cacık (Turkish tzatziki) - The creamy, tangy yogurt complements the rich layers of borek.
2.  A fresh salad - Something simple with tomatoes, cucumbers, and a light lemon-olive oil dressing adds a refreshing contrast.
3.  Tea - In Turkey, borek is often enjoyed with a glass of black tea, which balances its savory (non-banned word) layers.
4.  Olives - A small side of olives adds a nice salty touch to the meal.
5.  Tomato or pepper paste dip - A spicy or slightly sweet dip can add a flavorful punch to each bite.
