baklawa

Yes that is the name and it is still doing business and as good as ever.

I think you are talking about Bohsali Al Qasr. Wonder if it is still in business. It is a pre-historic outlet. Used to be good. Never tried it for decades.

The best place for Arabic sweets is in Al Saad. I have a blank as to the name, but it is next to Al Majlis restaurant. It has a green sign outside. This is the place all qataries go to. They have kunaafa and all the other goodies too.

hmm interesting. i never thought baklawa at hypermarkets could ever be good especially after tasting the one at LULU once!yuck is the word!

thanks squarepeg will try.

The baklawa in Carrefour is much better now than it used to be.

We call ir baklawa also, and i would suggest the Take Away or you can buy from Jamea'a the one in Tins the green colour from Beirut or Syrian if i'm not mistaken.

And for the best Gamat in town, is also in take away..

It has Halloum cheese, its called knafe

Saying it right does make a difference... its BAQLAWA!!!

They call it Konafa ... that is my favorite sweet ever especially the soft one with cheese ...

Some will call it Naboulsyeyah because of the cheese they put inside and that is the name of it. It is a salt cheese that needs to be soaked in water to get rid of the salt in it.

by the way i also like the basboosa type sweet that has halloumi cheese inside. what is it called, i never did get the name!Basboosa bijubn is the closest i ever got to guessing its name.heheh!!!

thanks all

I like that one but it is too sweet, I feel that i need to get them out of the syrup, soak them in water for a while and then ... eat them :)

thanks!!!hmm so u mean their food is good too. hmm will have to try it soon,.

souq waqif , u mean in the main souq area? is it inside that actual souq or adjacent?

well Baqlawa, Baclava or whatever it is yum and i believe i have a sweet jaw!!!!

i think in greece also have the similar thing ... i heard this food first time when we went to Corfu few years back.

they are called baclava. Very tasty if you have a sweet tooth.

its Baqlawa not baklawa and u wont find any good ones in Qatar. The closest to "ok" is at La Gourmet.
