While chefs and kitchen staff serve tons of meals for us to enjoy with family and friends, most of the time, they don't get to enjoy that.

Now, imagine the staff preparing our delicious food while fasting for the last month ! Believe me, it is not easy to fight the temptation of good aromas 😅

Today is Eid, ending Ramadan the month of fasting. We want to appreciate our staff who celebrate it and give everyone a day off to enjoy with family.

We wish you all a wonderful day, see you Thursday 😊

Not all Baklavas are Created Equal....😃

Baklava is a sweet pastry made of thin layers of filo dough, filled with chopped nuts, typically walnuts, pistachios, or almonds, and sweetened with honey or syrup. It's popular in many Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines.

Baklava comes in various regional variations, each with its unique twist on the classic recipe. We claim we have the best variety, just saying 😉 😎

First, Syrian baklava is in the crispy size and is less sweet than what you commonly get in the US. Second, it is filled with pistachios, the elite nut. 😍

At Syriana, we make Baklava from scratch following the authentic Syrian tradition!
Each bite of this golden, flaky pastry promises a symphony of flavors – crunchy pistachios, delicate layers of filo dough, and a luxurious drizzle of syrup with rose water. With its rich history and irresistible taste, baklava is the perfect dessert to elevate any occasion.

Dear weather,

As a small business located in a flood zone area 😅 , we would really appreciate it if you could stop the rain, or at least move it to weekdays?! During slow times maybe? 😄😅
