They prove that heaven can come in the form of food. The cinnamon walnut just changed my life 😍 plus everyone there is so kind thank you!

Ordered some of their pistachio rolls, and it was the first to be devoured at the dessert table. The owner was super accommodating and cut the rolls in a smaller size. This is a business that takes their craft very seriously and does it well. Highly recommend.

A must visit even if you order online most of the time. I walked in and the aroma of butter and spices hypnotized me. I’ve eaten Baklava from far away places like Istanbul Turkey. I tried Baklava King on Balboa Ave. The Bakkava here has layers upon layers of flavor that are separate but blend together with every single bite! Others you may as well simply dip pastry into a bowl of honey because sweet is all that can be distinguished. With Baklava King you can acknowledge the butter, spices, and fresh ground pistachios separately! Very high quality product and worth every penny!!

The baklava is absolutely amazing! I recently returned from a trip to Greece and Turkey, trying my first baklava in Turkey, and this pastry that Baklava King makes is top shelf! Love it!!

First review I’ve ever written in my life, but they’re worth it: my fiancé and I bought the big baklava rolls at a cafe near our house for years and loved them. One day, we saw them restocking them, and saw the name, and the rest is history. I’ve been buying boxes from these guys in bulk for years, and usually buy one of the $30 or $50 boxes as gifts then we keep one in the house. The king and his queen are exceptional people who always give you a little free gift of baklava whenever you stop in. It’s been a loving relationship for years and I hope it never ends.

My family have been a loyal customer for years. My dad has probably ordered from them over 7/8 times. He asked them to ship our most recent order through FEDEX because I've have bad experiences with USPS in the past. The owner said the he was going to ship it through USPS as they do a great job. Rather than listening to us in the first place he proceeded to ship it with USPS. My package never arrived spent over $100. USPS said they were returning the package back to Baklava king due to not being able to verify the person lived at the address even though the address on the shipping label was correct and so was my name. I called baklava king to tell him the situation and rather than be understanding he refused to help or be accommodating of the situation. This type of customer service is extremely distasteful and as a buisness they should be more understanding to the customers. He also said "You want us to take a loss". What I can't understand is how a business can tell a customer we won't take a loss and essentially tell me as a customer to take a loss. He basically said sorry we won't send you a new order and you don't get anything and that i guess u get to take a $140 loss. I love their baklava and I've ordered probably over $1000 worth of it from them over the years. I can't however understand how a business can be as unapologetic as them. Extremely disappointed and they just lost a loyal customer.

As a Turkish person myself, I was having trouble finding quality baklava in SD area. That was until a friend of mine shipped me some baklava from this place for my birthday. Game changer! This is the way baklava should be. Quality ingredients, freshly made, perfect balance of sweetness and crunchiness. Not the stuff you get from the mall - over-sugared and dry. Thank you Baklava King!

I just tasted my baklava, IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! Friendly and professional service! Their customer service area could be dressed up a bit, but that would not stop me from raving about their products. They've won awards and accolades! You've got to try their Baklava!!!!!
