In this cozy lunchroom full of fragrant sandwiches, homemade baklava and Turkish tea, it's not just about food, but mostly about people.<\/p>\n<h2>A place where everyone counts<\/h2>\n<p>Yeter knows everyone and everyone knows her. Not just because she serves the tastiest Turkish lunch dishes, but because she offers a listening ear, a helping hand, and never leaves anyone standing. The lunchroom has become a neighborhood beacon: a safe haven where you are welcome as you are.<\/p>\n<p>At one time, Yeter worked as an executive in customs and police in Rotterdam. That she would eventually run a lunchroom was not obvious. It was her husband who dreamed of running a bakery. When they were in Vlissingen visiting friends and discovered an empty building, they decided to take their chance. The family now lives above the business, literally and figuratively intertwined with the neighborhood they hold so dear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n

And she does, every day.<\/p>\n<p>For her husband, who can no longer work outside the home due to illness, the lunchroom is also a form of day care. And with her daughter, who works in healthcare, Yeter dreams of a new initiative: a day care center for the elderly, with coffee, attention and homemade treats.<\/p>\n<h2>Connection in a multifaceted street<\/h2>\n<p>Yeter calls Scheldestraat \"the most beautiful street in Flushing.\" A neighborhood where cultures come together, where contact is natural.<\/p>\n<p>Those looking for a place where you get more than just a good lunch should be at Keyf-i Alem. Here you taste the flavor of Turkey, but most of all the power of genuine attention. Whether you come for a sandwich, a baklava or just a chat, Yeter is there for you. With a smile, and perhaps a life story to remember.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                                                                                        <\/div>\n
