Update: In the past week, I tried calling your store twice during business hours but no one answered.
Horrible tasting baklava! Took a bite from each piece and it tasted stale. Texture was very chewy and soggy. I tried contacting them for a refund but they haven't answered their phones in the past 2 days. Maybe they are going out of business?
Army was very friendly and his shop was super clean and nice Baklavas!
We have been coming here a lot and I am telling you, their Delight and Baklavas are out of this world!

Great taste and friendly staff.
I am a baklava fanatic and eat it practically every week from various places. This place has the worst tasting baklava I've ever had. I spent over $20 and at $3 per small square, we got very soggy (meaning not fresh) and rancid, stale tasting baklava. Each piece had a distinctly foul smell which indicates spoilage. Our friends who tried the baklava agreed this was the worst tasting baklava. We were thinking this was just a bad batch or left out on the counter too long but this business does not answer their phones to address our concerns. This is how a business fails and we will not return.
Baklava should have a flaky texture with a sweet, nutty flavor. For real baklava, try Greek Bistro in Laguna Hills, Ikram Grill in Fountain Valley, Sarkis in Anaheim, Sweet Lili's in Laguna Hills, or pretty much anywhere else.
Good coffee
This baklava shop is truly a gem for anyone who enjoys authentic sweets and great coffee.
The baklava is simply outstanding—crispy, perfectly layered, and made fresh with just the right balance of sweetness. You can immediately taste the quality and care that goes into every piece. What makes this place even more special is their Dubai chocolate, which is always made fresh and tastes amazing—smooth, rich, and unique compared to anything else you’ll find nearby.
To complete the experience, they serve authentic Turkish coffee, brewed traditionally and packed with flavor. It’s strong, aromatic, and pairs beautifully with their desserts. You really get the full experience here: delicious sweets, great drinks, and a touch of cultural authenticity that makes it stand out from other coffee shops.
On top of all that, the staff is friendly, welcoming, and happy to help you choose if you’re not sure what to try first. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat, catching up with friends, or just want a place to relax with excellent desserts and coffee, this shop delivers every time.
Highly recommended—if you love baklava, Turkish coffee, or want to try fresh Dubai chocolate, you’ll be very glad you found this place

Very nice place with very hospitable owners. The baklava we’ve tried was amazing, usually in other places they can be too dry, but this was so delicious. Found it accidentally while walking inside the mall. Definitely recommend this place.
Excellent customer service and the baklava was sooo delicious and I tried the Turkish coffee and was very good. Definitely recommend this place.
We tried a hazelnut pistachio chocolate treat here and it was 10/10. I honestly cannot believe how good it was! I'd come back to this mall just to get another one!
Unfortunately, the baklava was stale and didn’t taste fresh at all. The texture was dry and hard, which really took away from the usual delicious experience. I was disappointed with the quality.
All flavors of Baklava and Turkish delights are amazing. They also have incredible Dubai chocolate with a good amount of filling. The service is very good and the workers are always kind and make me want to keep coming back.
