Let me share with you the story of how I fell in love with this place. I live in the neighborhood and was curious about baklava and this spot for a while, one day I just went in and ordered what stood out to me. After eating everything I had ordered I was EXTREMELY satisfied, so here is what made me come back to try more; small place big taste, freshly homemade, the pastries have just the right amount of sweetness, prices are reasonable and good attention to costumer.
These are different to what I am used to and I love them!
Personally, I always love getting desserts from here. But the thing that sealed the deal was when I brought a pre made sampler to my parents and they absolutely loved it. My mom was born and raised in Syria and she approved. The prices are a tad bit high but I definitely think it’s worth it. I also love the date Mamoul, I have to get half a pound on every visit!
Very good sweet and dessert meddle eastern style with very good ingredients prices is good $14 for cookies per pound and $20 for baklava and kunafa per pound.
Best! Fresh! And perfect pricing halal bakery!
Great place to pick up and enjoy it for desert.
Remember it is CASH ONLY place! They do have ATM inside.
I love flaky pastries and came across this shop so I thought I’d give it a try. I enjoyed the baklava very much. They were flaky, crispy, and sweet. It’s not overwhelmingly sweet. Even the bottom of the baklava were crispy!

Great bakery for authentic desserts. Baklava was amazing and easily the best around New York. The staff are always extremely friendly and will occasionally throw in a free cookie or two
The baklava and other sweets here are unbelievably delicious. Completely worth a visit from another borough. Also very friendly service.
Awesome sweet shop filled with different types of pastries. Got the baklawa and it was incredible. Staff is friendly. Cash only though.
