I happened to see the sign for this new Persian bakery on Flamingo as I was heading east. I made a mental note to stop on the way home.
It was late afternoon and much of their sweets were gone except for baqlava, the way it's spelled here. They sell it by the pound and I asked if I could get a half pound. The answer was yes and that was what I got. The half pound came to 6 bite sized cubes of rich pastry topped with pistachio. The cubes are soft and have a great honey flavor but they are not dripping with honey. You can pick them up and eat them as they are. The baqlava are very good.
While waiting, I watched a man making some sangak bread, something of which I'd never heard. The bread is a long piece of dough--perhaps 3 feet in length with holes in the dough. The worker was stretching the dough much like pizza dough and then he put it on a griddle to brown.
As I was leaving, a gentleman asked me if I'd ever tried the bread. When I said no that it was so large for one person, he told me to try it sometime. Freeze it and then cut off what you want to eat and toast it. Delicious, he assured me. Next time when I'm near, I'll stop and get one and I'll take his advice.
Everything was A-OK with my visit. Perhaps I can up it a star after I try the bread and some other pastries if I get there earlier in the day.
