Nablus Sweets — Restaurant in New York

a cure for homesickness if i have ever seen one. i had never been here before but felt nostalgic as soon as i walked in. i could smell the freshness of the sweet breads and rose and simple sugar syrup as soon as i walked in. the television was playing the news channels that my father and uncles listen to, and i forgot i was in new york. the young man behind the counter showed me pastries i had not noticed behind the counter, and detailed every kind of baklava they had (and it was an expansive assortment). the 3awameh (fried dough balls) were so delicious i contemplated buying them to freeze and take to california to my father. but i decided ill have to bring him in the future. the 7alawet el jibn (sweet cheese) was our absolute favorite. my friend ended up buying a whole other box to take home just after eating one piece. and everything is sold by weight equally which is so generous to price at these days. for reference, i've been to similar shops who charge $3 a piece for 7alawet el jibn and our whole box pictured below was $8. i can't wait to come back and make room in...

I’m starting to wonder what’s happening with our local businesses these days 🤔. Unbelievably, this is the second time I’m writing a negative review this week for what used to be one of my go-to spots. And now, the food from this place actually made me sick 🤢! Every year, I look forward to visiting this well-known Middle Eastern dessert shop in Bay Ridge during the holly month of Ramadan to indulge in their unique sweets made especially for the month. But this time, I was utterly dismayed by the steep drop in quality and added carelessness. My order was charred and burned to bitterness, then I was shocked to discover that the edges of my square sweets have milted plastic on it as shown in attached photo 😡.. For a $40 worth of goods, this is definitely not the way a regular customer should be treated or even any customer. Hate to negatively review you guys, but I hope this will wake you up and assure a better food quality...

What. A. Disappointment. I used to hear so highly about them. I bought warbat, baklava, and knafeh. All 3 were lacking in flavor and tasted stale. In all fairness i went at 9:30pm so maybe thats why. The lady at the counter was not welcoming at all. I asked for pistachio baklava and she said they only had 1 option until i started pointing out the others. I asked her if one of them had walnuts to which she said no and now im sitting having an allergic reaction because she didnt know the right answer. Never going back. 2 stars only for the gorgeous cat inside the store. Do...
