Dar Baklava

In 2011, Sherif Badawy, a pediatrician and avid marathon runner, moved from Egypt to the United States. While he quickly adapted to his new life, there was one thing that he missed dearly: quality baklava. What he found on store shelves was a far cry from the baklava he grew up loving—bulky pieces with too much dough, barely any nuts, and drenched in syrup. As someone with a sweet tooth and a commitment to health, Sherif knew baklava could be better, both in flavor and in nutrition.

Determined to create a baklava that was both delicious and healthier, Sherif spent years researching, sampling, and refining his vision. His journey took him around the world, from tasting baklava in local bakeries to working with master baklava makers in Jordan, where he found the perfect inspiration: baklava that was packed with premium nuts, minimally sweetened, and portioned for guilt-free indulgence. This discovery sparked the beginning of Dar Baklava, a modern twist on a timeless treat with "No Sticky Fingers".

Our dedication to health is at the core of Dar Baklava. That's why each bite of our baklava is made with 80% premium nuts, delivering more than just rich, indulgent flavor. Nuts like pistachios, cashews, and walnuts are nutritional powerhouses. They're loaded with protein, heart-healthy fats, and essential nutrients that support everything from gut health to brain function and glowing skin. Indulgence has never been this good for you.

At Dar Baklava, simplicity and quality go hand in hand. Our products is made with just four to six natural ingredients, carefully chosen to deliver the best taste and nutrition. Unlike traditional baklava, we use minimal syrup to let the natural flavors shine. Through a meticulous draining process, we ensure that only the right amount of sweetness remains—enough to enhance the rich, nutty layers without overpowering them. By skipping the excess sugar and focusing on whole, real foods, Dar Baklava is proof that flavor doesn't have to come at the cost of your health.
