My husband took me here as a surprise on an afternoon date. It's exactly what you'd expect from a strip mall store called Baklava House. The outside is a little boring, but the interior is dressed up a bit with a chandelier and bright shiny display cases full of baklava and other desserts. The employee offered us a free sample, which was a good start. I may be guilty of falling for the "Dubai Chocolate" trend, but I chose a few pieces of baklava that had chocolate pistachio flavor profiles. I also took a risk on a nest shaped pastry filled with lemon filling, and I think it was my favorite of them all! They have tables where you can eat your treats there, and wash your hands afterwards, which is important because there's almost no way to do it without getting sticky fingers. I ate two pieces there, and saved two more for the evening, which was a lot for one day, but it was sure a treat! read more

Not sure why people are giving this place five stars. Unless they're paying for reviews? We arrived here, and the girl taking orders had zero knowledge of anything. Constantly had to refer to "calling her" dad to get information. Multiple things on the menu were not even available. Very "Mom and pop" and below average. Treated like it was a business someone's running out of their garage. Very unprofessional in 2026 in the city of Austin. Your menu doesn't even match what you really have? Customers can't rely on what they see online -- or even the in-store menu. That's disingenuous. We won't be back. Very disappointing. read more

Great parking, lots of variety, and friendly service! My friend and I came just before closing, and they were actually quite busy! They were handing out free samples since it was close to closing time. Since it was my first time there, it was good to try a sample! There are several tables inside, as well, so you can eat your goodies there. I'm taking off a star because the place itself is in need of a renovation. It looks very outdated and not appealing at all, but the food definitely speaks for itself! read more

Solid but nothing special. I was surprised it wasn't better, but maybe because I went at end of day.

Absolutely fabulous selection of homemade baklavas and desserts. The lady gave me a sample of a cheese baklava and it was outstanding and still warm. I definitely rec this little gem. I will be a regular now. It's not super modern and fancy inside, but it's worth the stop. Sold by weight. read more

Came in for Dubai chocolate, left more baklava. Wish I had left with more baklava, they were soooo good. Never thought of myself as a baklava gal, but I was hooked as soon as they handed me a hot baklava fresh out the oven - and even the next morning I had the one I bought and it was just as amazing cold - it was lightly sweetened with honey and perfectly flaky, and creamy. Oh yeah. The Dubai chocolate was fine. I've realized I'm not a Dubai chocolate gal. read more

If you love baklava, then this is the place for you! They had a beautiful assortment of baklava ranging from traditional walnut to Nutella and the viral Dubai chocolate.

Baklava House & Bakery - Entrance - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Went here all the way to try the Dubai chocolate as it's one of the highly rated places with the viral chocolates in Austin. This place welcomed us with a free baklava. I tried them and love the cream cheese filling. The had a variety of them. This is my first time trying the Dubai chocolates and it was really worth the hype. Sometime the combination doesn't work for newly created dishes but this is a winner. Imagine bitting a Kit Kat and end up eating a Kade instead of a wafer. The kadayif with cheese and was absolutely a delight and can't stop with a single bite. Also there are pistachios topped on the bars just like Knafeh! I have had Knafeh in Dubai and this place makes a good one. Ended up getting two bars of regular Dubai chocolate for $5 each. The place was filled with authentic Middle Eastern desserts , dishes and snacks. Will return to try them. read more

Delicious baklavas. We tried walnut, pistachio, and other baklavas. Unfortunately we don't know what all we got because it was a TooGoodToGo deal. Delicious, though! Definitely order your baklava to go... the shop is way too bright to enjoy as a dine-in customer. I am serious... it's as if they have halogens for ceiling lights. I could never sit inside this shop and enjoy a snack or have a conversation -- it's like being on a stage with floodlights shining on you. That said, it was PACKED with people to an unbelievable degree, so good for them! The shop was clean and smelled wonderful, and the baklava is delicious. We'll definitely be back to pick up more sweet treats (to take home). read more

OH MY GOD. Literally. This was a spiritual experience. I ordered 1lb mixed baklava + knafeh rough. It was quite literally the best I've ever had. The baklava is so flaky, sweet, filled with pistachios... just incredible. The 1lb came with around 12 or so different pieces so you get a lot of variety. I will absolutely be ordering from this place again. I heard the chocolate bars are delish so I'll have to get one next time ! read more

We were given a sample while in the store waiting for our order. We ordered a Dubai strawberry cup, knafeh , and Dubai chocolate bar. Everything was the best we've had in Austin and reasonably priced for what they are. read more

Baklava House & Bakery - Viral Dubai Chocolate *Milk Chocolate* - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Big fan of Baklava house! Tons of different varieties of similar deserts. If you have a sweet tooth and want to try something you don't get around town traditionally, this is the spot for you. Only downside is the inside aesthetic isn't that kept up, and the food doesn't have any type of labels on it, so unless you know all the differences, you're going to spend a lot of time asking what's what. read more

The hype is real. We were on the hunt for the viral Dubai chocolate and it was found here at Baklava house and bakery. On a corner lot, next to a popular Mexican and on North Lamar we entered a pretty plain, clean bakery. We were immediately welcomed with a sample that was some sort of cream centered, baklava, and that got us started. Trays of beautiful pastries, enticed our eyes and made us hungry for more. Almost forgot that we actually came for the Dubai chocolate bars, bars were purchased and tried on the spot. Again, the hype is real. We loved it! They had like 4 tables to sit at, and I noticed how popular this sweet spot is for families with children. Prior to entering my kids requested the strawberry Dubai chocolate cup as well, and after quite a wait, a beautifully decorated cup appeared. Sweet, crunchy, fresh strawberries, creamy chocolate sauce. It was well enjoyed and worth all the wait and search. Mission completed. Learned that they have lunch/ dinner food options as well, so we'll definitely be back to try their foods from their menu. read more

Absolutely delicious and the guy at the counter was really friendly. A nice bit of variety for being mostly all baklava. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the cakes and they are still working on getting their coffee running. Nice relaxed mood with comfortable tables. read more

Super friendly staff, was looking for pistachio baklava and was able to find ones for a gift. Complimentary baklava when I walked in which was delicious read more

They have quite a selection of pastries which of course I had to try practically one of each. Most I didn't know since I have only had the traditional baklava but the person at the counter explained each one. The pastries are by weight and considering I got one of each I thought it was reasonably priced. I think I paid around $20-30. Service was good and the place itself is just a regular pastry shop...nothing fancy. The pastries were delicious but my preference is still the traditional baklava or the ones with some type of cheese or filling (can't remember since I came here about a month ago). read more

We drove down to visit after a fun google search on where to find the popular Dubai chocolate. When we first walked in we were greeted and given a sample. We then went onto to wait our turn to order. Of course we ordered the sweet treat we were given and the Dubai chocolate cup and chocolate bar. Everything was reasonably priced. Our treats were delish. Perfectly sweet, chunchy and nutty! I love the freshness that the strawberries give on the chocolate cup. read more

I stumbled into Baklava House not expecting much... and walked out wondering why no one told me this place was basically heaven on earth. Everything here tastes like it was made with love, patience, and someone's grandmother watching over the recipe. The quality is unreal -- flaky, buttery layers, perfectly balanced sweetness, and that melt-in-your-mouth moment that just makes you close your eyes for a second. The staff is super friendly too. They offered a free sample, and honestly that one bite was enough to convince me I needed a whole box. No regrets. I cannot wait to come back. This is my new happy place on Lamar. If you love baklava or even think you might love baklava -- RUN, don't walk. Heaven. On. Earth. read more

I love baklava and I've had so much of it that I think most baklava isn't very good. This place delivers on really delicious baklava. One of the things I look for is the ratio of phyllo pastry dough to the nuts to the sweetness. This was perfect. I also look for baklava that retains its crispiness despite being soaked in the honey syrup and theirs does. It's well-priced, good variety, and options with pistachios, walnuts, cashews, and almonds. I also got to sample their cream cheese fusion creation and it was surprisingly good. Of course, most of the patrons were there for the Dubai chocolate. Actually, to make reels of them eating Dubai chocolate *eye roll* That being said, I was glad to try out the Dubai chocolate too and at such reasonable prices. They offer a dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate options for the famed Dubai chocolate. This place is started by a Syrian whose family has been displaced by the war. It feels especially nice to support his hard work. read more

We entered the store. We were the only customers there. The lady behind the counter did not greet us. She completely ignored us and even turned her back to us. She was very unfriendly and not welcoming at all. After about 5 mins she finally reluctantly asked, under her breath, if she could help us. They have several varieties of baklava and a few items I'm not familiar with. There were no labels on anything. No prices. No menus. I asked what a few items were. Her answer was simply "baklava" or "knafeh". She refused to tell me what kind of baklava or knafeh. When I asked what the difference was between two very different looking items was, she just said "knaeh, it's sweet". She did give me a sample of a random item. The baklava was ok. Customer service was severely lacking. They need to label and price their items. read more

Order through DoorDash so I can't speak on the service but omgeeee I've been seeing the viral Dubai chocolate and dying to try it. Everything was soooo delicious and balanced perfectly. Great prices as well. They also gave my a lil complimentary treat with my order definitely my new lil spot!! read more

So I just ordered from this place and it is tasty but I asked for two sides of tzatziki and they gave me two sides of ranch and I didn't know because I ordered two sides of tzatziki and I dumped it all over my bowl. So now my bowl is gross and taste like ranch. I can tell that the food is good so I'm not going to leave less stars but definitely make sure that you're not getting ranch mixed up with tzatziki. Those things aren't even similar. read more

I have loved baklava and all it's varieties since I first had it as a kid, and this place has every kind you could imagine and more. It's such a simple shop, no frills - What do you want? Baklava. They have it. They employee gave us some samples which was nice because they have so much that we got to try something new and did end up buying those. Prices are reasonable (it is just a bunch of honey and pistachios), so it's not cheap but it's definitely worth what you pay for. There are other Mediterranean places in the area but they have the most extensive selection and specialize in it so you know it's good. read more

I love this little shop. The owners were sweet and nice and the baklava is all so delicious. I got one of everything that looked good, but I wanted to try everything. They gave us a sample of the cheese baklava, which was yummy. It was a nice mixture of slightly sweet with cheese and flaky buttery pastry. My favorite was the walnut baklava. I love the flavor of the walnuts and the honey with the phylo. It's a perfect treat with all the flavors and textures all in one. The white dubai chocolate is delicious, like it's so yummy. I love the crispy bits inside the chocolate. I don't remember all the items I got but they were all delicious. Will Def be back to try all the other ones. read more

My quest for Dubai Chocolate brought me here, and ever since then this has been my goto spot. Freshly made goods with extremely friendly service and staff that is that pinnacle charm of family and local owned business. Atmosphere: Smaller bakery type shop, so everything you see is made fresh in their kitchen. Food: Dubai chocolate seekers rejoice! This is the place, and they deliver on everything I thought the chocolate would taste like. Not only that though but their selection of Baklavas are tasty, they usually will sample all customers a taste of one of their goods. The cheese filled baklava being my favorite getting that perfect taste of just the right amount of sweet and savory with nice pistachio and cheese filling. Service: One of the big reasons I'll keep revisiting this spot is for the staff. Every time I've gone everyone is so friendly and patient, you get that kind of 'family welcoming' energy while still being a humble small business. Would highly recommend to coming for any baklava or dubai chocolate needs. Easily I'll come back when I need my fix. read more

I went to Baklava House with very few expectations. I'd been tasked with finding Dubai chocolate and was told this was the best place for it. Turns out, that recommendation was right. We went in and were immediately greeted by a woman handing us warm ashta. I've never found ashta in Austin before so this was a treat for sure! The counter tops were filled with yummy looking treats which made our choices just that much harder. The lady who greeted us met us at the counter and asked us what we would like. She walked us over to the counter and we pointed at what we wanted. She boxed everything up and asked us what else we needed. We ordered a meat manakish and a spinach manakish. We paid and sat to wait. The decor was fun and light. Chandeliers and Valentine's Day decor are all around, with one tv playing music on the wall. The noise level was very low. There are only a few tables in the dining room so it's not likely to become overwhelming. After about 7 minutes, our order was ready. I got Dubai chocolate and my companion ordered a Dubai chocolate cup. The chocolate was smooth and sweet with a low melting point. The birds nest baklava inside was very crunchy and a perfect counterpoint to the chocolate outside. 10/10, would do again. My companion's Dubai chocolate cup looked like a parfait, with cream, baklava, chocolate, and strawberries with pistachio on top, but the chocolate was solid. This made it hard to eat but they powered through. The meat manakish was warm and thin, with a slightly tangy meat. The spinach and cheese was juicy and full of flavor, with a folded crust to keep the juices in. I enjoyed it thoroughly. We ordered a few more things to go and I've already been back since that first visit. The experience was almost identical to the first. Can't wait to go back! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but it was a disappointing experience. I ordered over $60 worth of baklava and knafeh, waited more than 20 minutes for a basic pre-made order, and the staff seemed lost and untrained. The woman helping me didn't speak English or Arabic, and despite being friendly, she was clearly overwhelmed. I was patient, but after watching her help other customers who came in after me, while my order sat unfinished, I just left everything and walked out. No drama, no yelling. But the truth is, the baklava I did taste was mediocre at best, and definitely not worth the price. This falls on the owner. Poor management, no service structure, and careless handling of orders. Looking at past reviews, it seems this isn't a one-time issue. Hope they fix things, but I won't be returning. read more

THE MOST OUTSTANDING SERVICE. The people here are so nice, y'all. And the baklavas are just as sweet! Right when you walk up to the counter, they provided my friend and I a free sample. We were so surprised by the size of the samples too as they weren't just some bite-sized piece but were full-sized baklavas. My two favorites have to be the pistachio baklavas and the cheese-filled baklavas. They're perfectly sweet, crispy, and flaky. The pistachios were practically overflowing from the flaky exterior. They're also open past 9:00pm, making it the perfect place for an evening sweet treat. read more

This is THE SPOT for Baklava!! Now, they don't have names for the pastries and with some language barrier, I'm not sure what those are when they try to explain to me :) So just ask for what's inside, it's usually either cheese (cream), pistachio, walnut, chocolate. Then, it's either the regular baklava or the rolled ones with phyllo dough (crunchy) or kataifi (which is flat). They are all yummy so you can't go wrong, just pick the one most appealing to you lol I love that they put a lot of pistachio in there and their stuffs are not too sweet! I believe they serve coffee too with some seatings inside. Price: It's $17/lb, which is not cheap so if you buy for 3 people it can easily come out to more than $30. But I promise you will be satisfied. Service: Oh my god! They are the sweetest people. They give out samples to everyone walking through the door, and everytime I come, it's a different flavor/type which makes it so cool. read more

Saw on Reddit this was one of the places in Austin selling the Dubai chocolate. I came around 12PM and there was plenty of parking in the lot. There's inside seating available and it's very clean and quiet. The lady working the counter was great and helped me pick out which ones to try when I asked for recommendations. She gave me a sample to try when I came in and also packaged my order neatly in to go boxes. Everything I got was super delicious and I highly recommend paying them a visit! I also saw on TikTok they put the Dubai chocolate into fun molds depending on the season (like skulls for Halloween)! read more
