Is there a place on line where I can mail order Lebanese style Baklava?!
Answers:
I've been to this bakery and it's simply amazing!. The baklawa (Lebanese version of baklava) is outstanding! For something different try out the Bassma (my personal favorite) or the Ballourie!. You will not be dissapointed with anything you order from Shantila!.
