The story the reviews tell

Bichak is a stuffed pastry that arrives at the table in whatever shape the baker chose—round, triangular, or square—crisp from the oven or fryer. It bridges sweet and savory: fill it with pumpkin or jam for tea, or pack it with meat and cheese for lunch. Because you can fold dozens at once, it's become a practical staple across Central Asia, Afghanistan, Morocco, and the Middle East, and a fixture on Jewish holiday tables served alongside yogurt or sour cream.
