Baklawa – The Essence of Lebanese Sweetness

Baklawa: A Sweet Masterpiece of Middle Eastern Heritage

Golden layers of crispy phyllo pastry, a luscious filling of finely chopped nuts, and a delicate drizzle of fragrant syrup—this is Baklawa. This timeless Middle Eastern dessert has enchanted taste buds for centuries. At Warda Restaurant in London, we bring this classic Lebanese treat to life, offering an authentic taste of Lebanon in every bite.

The Art of Baklawa

It is more than a dessert; it’s a labour of love. Each layer of phyllo dough is meticulously brushed with melted butter to achieve the perfect crispness. The nut filling—typically a mix of pistachios, walnuts, or almonds—is spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, creating a rich and aromatic core.

Finally, the entire creation is baked to golden perfection and topped with syrup infused with orange blossom or rosewater, adding a floral sweetness that ties the flavours together.

What Sets Baklawa Apart?

• Delicate Layers: Phyllo pastry that is paper-thin and crisps beautifully in the oven.
• Nutty Goodness: A filling that strikes the ideal balance between crunchy and sweet.
• Fragrant Syrup: Sweetened to perfection, the syrup infuses the baklawa with a distinctive Middle Eastern aroma.
