Have you ever craved for the best of Arabic delights, particularly desserts of the most tempting kind, nearer home? You will be floored, bowled over and spoilt for choice once you enter the elegantly decorated and lavishly pleasant environs of GOURMET BAKLAVA.
True to the Arabic culture, it opened its first outlet in Telangana and second in India at Banjara Hills Road No 3 on June 9, with a grandeur that is symbolic of the Middle East flavour. It offers a spectacular variety of the most enrapturing luxurious Premium Arabic Desserts under one roof.
To the gourmet, it is paradise right at the doorstep because it has been established by Imtiaz Ali Siddiqui, a food connoisseur of proven expertise in the business. ‘There will be no compromise on quality, genuineness and health aspects, whatsoever.
“You see, Baklava finds mention even in eighth century writings. The Assyrians are believed to have blended nuts and honey while baking thin layers of dough. Its legend has grown in popularity across the seven seas over the centuries. I have noticed that Hyderabadies relish the delectable Arab cuisine. Many, I have been told, urge their kin and well wishers to get loads of Baklava variants when they are returning from Middle East. GOURMET BAKLAVA has been conceived to address this need so that the customers can have their choicest dishes and sweets in the city on the very day itself,’ explains the man behind the outlet.
According to the celebrated Chef Jordan native, MJ Alsafeen, baklava variants are made differently and contain ingredients that are found in abundance in the Mediterranean and the Middle East like walnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, almonds, or other specific nuts.
