So happy this place opened up in the neighborhood.

A friend of mine told me they sold Halawet el Jibn and I ran in after work as fast I could get myself to the place. They sell by the pound, so for 8pcs its about $6 or so. Comes with syrup and a sprinkle of pistachio. I am so happy to have gotten some and a piece of Kanafeh for my father.

Next time, I'm getting a whole pound... and some groceries too.

Went here with my son to get some baklava. Truly the best place to try an assortment and learn. The gentleman behind the counter - Khadifa (I think that’s how you spell his name) is the BEST! He should get a raise! The quality of product and his customer service is one of a kind! He’s really proud of their treats and he should be, it’s fabulous.

We got an assortment and a Dubai chocolate bar. So amazing! And it’s a huge bar with loads of filling. Try...
