Specializing in middle eastern sweets and homemade ice cream.
Delicious!!!! Wonderful bakery and friendly staff. They have a large variety of goodies and everything is good. Clean atmosphere and great service.
Such a treat - found myself near this little Middle Eastern bakery/grocery store & stopped in to indulge my sweet tooth! I bought a Pistachio Baklava & slice of Cheese Khafeh. Then surprise! Michael the baker gave me a Walnut Finger & a Maamoul Cookie to sample.
The Walnut Finger & Pistachio Baklava are familiar: phyllo dough, honey, butter, & nuts. I munched on those right away.
Cheese Khafeh is a whole mood: it looks "simple" but put it in the microwave & it transforms. Khafeh's topped with phyllo crumbs & filled with cheese that melts when heated. Drizzle honey on top & it's ooey/gooey/scrumptious. This was my "experimental" order b/c I saw it, had no idea what it was , but wanted to try it.
Jury's still out on the Maamoul Cookie: it kind of looks like a madeleine so it's cookie on the outside. Filling is a combo of mixed nuts, rose water & something else - maybe pureed dates - & almost tastes like wine. (3.31.21: I learned from an acquaintance who's Middle Eastern that they flavor them w/ "mahleb." Mahleb is the ground up seeds inside a cherry pit, made into a powder to give flavor of cherry/almond. Fascinating!)
This is also a sweet spot to eat LUNCH: falafel, chicken shawarma, gyros and other savory dishes. The grocery story/butcher shop that connects to the bakery features groceries, frozen foods, FIVE different brand of filo/phyllo dough. Love to come back with Middle Eastern/international recipes in mind so I can buy the specific ingredients needed. Definitely an unexpected find!
I usually think baklava is way too sweet. Not here. It's perfection!! Get a variety box to go. The staff is very helpful and kind (they are always excited to see us and give my kids a sample). Hidden gem I wish I'd found years ago.
Greenway and 35th ave, on the Northwest side. I had been looking for a new sweet place and took the advice of my fellow Yelpers from the "Collections" in Yelp!
Ordered a variety of sweets to taste and also a Christmas treat for my Stylist, it was a mixture of baklava, which was mighty tasty and fresh. I got the mixture but you can order whatever you desire and plenty to pick from. It did look like the bakery was also a mini mart and deli, may need to go back and try more items.
Service, was helped very quickly and super friendly.
