The baklava tastes fine, but the pricing is quite high compared to other Turkish baklava companies, where nearly 2 lbs can often be purchased for the same amount. While I appreciate that the pistachios are sourced from Türkiye, the overall value still feels overpriced. I also noticed that the “About Us” section provides very limited information. Since baklava is not just a dessert but an important part of Turkish culinary heritage, this would be a great place to highlight that story. The roots of baklava go back to Central Asia, where Turkic tribes prepared layered pastries, later refined in Anatolia and perfected in the Ottoman palace kitchens. Today, baklava stands as one of the most recognized symbols of Turkish cuisine worldwide. Even the word baklava itself is of Turkish origin, reflecting its deep cultural ties.

The baklava follows the traditional Gaziantep style, which is widely considered the best. The taste is good, but the price is extremely high—over $10 for a single piece of carrot baklava - even though it was to go order. Because of this, I have to give a slightly lower rating.

FYI below here is Edited version to reply the owner: Thank you for explaining the reasons behind your prices. I appreciate that you use high-quality pistachios from Türkiye and keep your baklava fresh and natural without shortcuts. Even though the price still feels high for me as a customer, I now understand better why it costs that much(I hope you can reduce your cost while maintaining the quality of it). I wish your business success and hope more people can enjoy your Gaziantep style baklava. Thanks again for valuing...
