Our Persian Baklava at Tehran Market & Cafe is a traditional Iranian confection that differs from its Middle Eastern and Turkish counterparts in its delicate lightness and distinctive flavors. Persian baklava features paper-thin layers of flaky pastry filled with finely ground Iranian pistachios and scented with cardamom, then lightly sweetened with a fragrant rosewater syrup.
Unlike heavier versions from other traditions, Persian baklava is cut into elegant diamond shapes and is lighter, more refined, and less sweet — allowing the natural flavor of premium pistachios to shine through. At Tehran Market & Cafe, we source authentic Persian baklava made with traditional recipes and real Iranian pistachios. Perfect as a dessert after a Persian meal, with tea, or as a gift. Also available from our Persian grocery section alongside other Iranian sweets and cookies.
