When it comes to Middle Eastern desserts, Baklava stands in a league of its own. With its delicate layers of phyllo pastry, crunchy nuts, and sweet syrup or honey, this timeless treat is both luxurious and satisfying. At Falafel King, located in the heart of downtown Boston at 260 Washington St, we bring the rich tradition of Mediterranean sweets to your table with our homemade Baklava, priced at just $50.00 per tray.

Whether you're a Boston local or visiting the city, our Baklava is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth while exploring new flavors. In this blog, we explore why our Baklava has become one of the most sought-after dessert items in Boston, and why it deserves a spot at your next gathering or celebration.

 

What Makes Baklava Special?

Baklava isn’t just a dessert; it’s a celebration of flavor, texture, and history. Originating in the Ottoman Empire and cherished across the Mediterranean and Middle East, Baklava is crafted with care and precision.

Each piece features multiple layers of ultra-thin phyllo dough, brushed with butter, and sprinkled with finely chopped nuts (usually walnuts or pistachios). The entire pastry is baked to golden perfection and finished with a drizzle of sugar syrup or honey, giving it that signature glossy finish.

The result? A perfect bite of crunch, sweetness, and a hint of spice that lingers on your palate.

Health Benefits in Every Bite

While Baklava is undoubtedly an indulgence, it also brings some surprising health benefits thanks to its nut-based filling. Nuts like walnuts and pistachios are known for:

  • Heart-healthy fats
  • Antioxidants
  • Essential minerals like magnesium and zinc
  • Plant-based protein

When enjoyed in moderation, Baklava can be a sweet treat that also contributes to a balanced diet.

 

Baklava for Every Occasion

Baklava is incredibly versatile and fits seamlessly into various occasions:

  • Holiday Gatherings: Add a Middle Eastern twist to your Thanksgiving or Christmas table.
  • Corporate Events: Impress clients or coworkers with a unique, crowd-pleasing dessert.
  • Weddings & Birthdays: Replace or complement traditional cakes with Baklava trays.
  • Everyday Treats: Just because you deserve something sweet!

Order online or walk into our Boston location to pick up your tray. Each $50 tray is made to order and guarantees freshness and flavor.

 

How to Store and Serve Baklava

To enjoy Baklava at its best:

  • Store it in a cool, dry place (no refrigeration needed)
  • Serve it at room temperature
  • Pair with Turkish coffee, black tea, or even vanilla ice cream

Pro tip: It tastes even better the next day as the syrup settles into the layers.
