The Best Baqlawa in Kuwait ?
With Ramadan here, its time for all of us to enjoy all the great sweet that’s available here in Kuwait. For me, Ramadan is the only time I eat baqlawa (even though its available throughout the year). I asked someone in the office recently where I could get really good baqlawa and they told me Mr. Baker. This actually surprised me, because for me Mr. Baker has always been about their cakes and desserts.
Above: Close up of the Baqlawa. (There are 12 rows of baqlawa in the box – unfortunately the ones on the right hand side of the box had already been munched and so aren’t in the photo :) )
When I got to Mr.Baker, I couldn’t see any baqlawa on display and when I asked, they already had boxes behind the counter ready and prepared with a selection of different types. The box cost KD 5 and I would say was probably around 1 Kg in weight.
When we got home we all tried it. Overall opinion was that it tastes great and is definitely lighter and less greasy than a lot of other baqlawa. I would say it is also less sweet. So very good baqlawa, but I’m not sure if this is really the best in Kuwait.
Are there any other places you recommend I try, or is Mr. Baker really The Baqlawa Benchmark ?

That’s A cheap shot Mix…U forget some of us don’t have the luxury to have baqlawa let alone where the best place to buy it from!!….I mean come on was it really necessary to post a photo!!!
You shouldn’t have clicked to see what’s in the box ;)
Not a big fan of baqlawa but my friend was telling us how Mr. Baker improved their selection lately! They have so many new items now
Thats true. They have so many things to choose from. I picked up some gaymaat while i was over there. Really good!
im not a big fan either, but i heard they bring it from places like istanbul and jordan. i think dessert selections have become endless you dont know what to have!
Maybe its just me, but they all taste the same :/
Tastes bad? just add more syrup :p
aaa : You could be right although it tasted freshly made. I love Mr. Baker’s 4 flavour cheesecake, trouble is its too heavy after fatoor.

N : Mr. Baker’s is less syrupy which I prefer. I thought it was much better than the ones I’ve bought from Carrefour and Sultan.
I think that they all taste the same too and the only yummy one is the dark one 3rd from the right! =/
its all about the lgaimat and qa6ayif! :P
Unfortunately they only had one of row of those dark ones :( I just managed to take the pic in time before they got eaten up !
You could try out BOHSALI, they have branches in Salmiya and Hawalli for sure. They cost KD.4.500 a kilo.
I have heard the name mentioned, but never tried it before. Will check it out !
