Majdal Bakery — Restaurant in Philadelphia

WRITIING IN CAPS BECAUSE IM NOT CAPPIN. This is a MUSE of Syrian owned bakery. I don’t know where to start tbh. I order like the while menú lol. I first asked em about their Baklava box, I believe the owner who was working at time told me they were out but asked one of the workers is that a Baklava you are making?? Without any hestancy he delivered!!! This hardworking gentlemen in the oven for a few seconds to really bring out the moisture in the pastry, while maintaining the crisp on the outside. The baklava were incredibly delicious , honestly one of the best , if not BEST that have tasted the palate. A beautiful assortment diving into Almond, Pistachio and Walnut. Nirvanaaaa

Okai so what i tried, first the Shishito Turkish Egg Safeha. Did no research, but looks 9.5/10. This baby is like the cousin of the Shakshuka. Was sus about the mixing of the yogurt and eggs at first but the ooaching eggs over a bed of garlicky yogurt, then topping was perfectly warmed, spiced butter and adding charred shishito peppers for flavor poppin my palate.

Savory wish i was bewteen the Cinnamon Cardamom Bun or the Pistachio Tiramisú, they ran out of the tiramisú, so it left me with no choice. This baby was unique w/ their babka dough, filled with cinnamon cardamom and topped with pistachio cream cheese frosting. You love about traditional cinnamon buen, but taken up a notch. Soft & fluffy the flight and pistachio adds an amazing depth of flavor to both the filling and the cream cheese icing.

It’s not hard to appease my brother but he gave high praise for the Malfouf Safeha and his spiced tea. Mark of approval. The Spice Cider was a nice compliment to all the dishes, a nice balance of SWEET apple cider infused perfumes with clover spices, cozy and nice kick of cinnamon of a beautiful fall afternoon

I can't wait to try everything else. Very humbling staff, passionate and willing to give suggestions of their favs or if you werent familiar with Syrian Baked goods. I've truly enjoyed everything I've had from Majdal. It takes a talented baker to be able to execute so highly on such a wide variety of pastries, from leavened bread products (both sweet and savory) to beautiful, delicate...

Majdal Bakery in Philadelphia brings the rich, soulful flavors of Druze and Levantine flavors to Queen’s Village. The chicken sumac fatayer was my favorite, filled with juicy, spice-kissed chicken and paired with a tangy yellow sauce. The tomato labneh safeha provided a refreshing contrast, blending creamy yogurt with bright, juicy tomatoes on a perfectly crisp flatbread. A heartier option was the Turkish eggs safeha that consisted of herbed yogurt and a soft egg atop warm dough, creating a savory dish. And to finish, we shared a pistachio cinnamon muffin that added the right touch of sweetness—nutty, fragrant, and very satisfying. This is a bakery to bring your friends and family for a...

July 27 edit: had to update my review because the owner’s response swept my concern about hygiene under the rug by saying they use parchment paper, when I clearly saw the staff use her bare hands for at least two orders. It’s absolutely not cool to minimize a clear food safety hazard, so I’m posting one photo that irrefutably shows her grabbing a plastic cup with her bare hand.

—- Dropped by because of the near-perfect rating but unfortunately had to walk out after seeing the person working the register handle cash and credit cards then touch food and drinks with bare hands…the baked goods looked delicious but...
