| - Have tried baklava and other Middle Eastern pastries all over the GTA (and beyond) and this is easily top 3 for freshness, quality, and overall value. The service is also friendly and accommodating. Referring to the pics, I'm not sure which is what, although you can check out the website for info, but I can assure you, as many others have pointed out, that they're all delicious. For those unfamiliar with these pastries, many of them have common ingredients such as nuts, phyllo dough, honey, and rose water. Anything with rose water is my jam cause it tastes like eating luxurious perfumed pastry. All the pastries vary in shape (round to square) and texture (crunchy to cake-like), but you basically can't go wrong in what you choose. They're sold by the weight (as of this review, about $30 per kg), but here's a pro tip: if you go early enough, they have some discounted pre-packaged "day olds" to the side that are certainly not as fresh, but decent especially if you're on a budget. It's in a small plaza so parking is plentiful especially at off hours. Bonus is that Lawrence East in Scarborough has tons of good (and cheap) savory dishes for you to eat before you head here for some dessert.
