Sham Delights — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I must say, this is truly an authentic representation of what this type of dessert should taste and look like ! I ordered a box of 500 grams of mixed baklava, and the first thing I had to notice was that sugar syrup is on point ! I say this because, from my experience at least in the Netherlands, such desserts are usually ruined by overuse of sugar syrup to the point where you'll be chewing on a soggy sweet mess which is the case for products most similar stores offer. Not the case here, I'm glad to say. Additionally, the balance of quality ingredients with the dough is just perfect. I don't know what type of margarine is used; however, it certainly wasn't overfilling and the texture is great.

Kudos for nailing it ! I will definitely be ordering more and dropping by when...

Simply the best in Amsterdam It feels I’m just eating it from the origin! So authentic and fresh and super great quality

A big plus that the place feels warm like home The owner and his wife are the kindest people you can meet They always surprise you with free small bites and they just feel happy to do it That’s the Great Arab Hospitality ❤️ Never miss Halawat Jibneh ( cheese Halawah) and ask for the Syrian coffee ! But only for the brave ones hahah All regards to Shouq...

Though I have been living in Amsterdam for 12 years, I discovered this place recently and what a gem! The best baklavas in Amsterdam: my favorite is the pistachio baklava, lots of pistachio and just sweet as needed. Also a perfect gift when invited (my parents loved them!). And cherry on the cake: the Syrian couple who is running this delicious place is so friendly as you rarely find it nowadays 🙏 I will definitely come back...
