phillo dough stuffed with nuts usually pistachios baked to perfection then soaked with really sweet syrup.
BTW it is NOT Greek. Everyone in the Middle East area prepares baklava. Turks, Greek, Arabs and everyone tried to claim it to themselves.
I do agree on the addiction part.

A very sweet and delicious pastry cake that has Filo pastry round the outside and inside it has grounded nuts, it is dipped in a type of honey to get the sweet syrup.

It is a Greek desert, that is very sweet and has nuts in it. It's basically like a cake, except it's flaky. It's very delicious. If you ever get a chance to try some, you should! :)

It's like crushed walnuts mixed with honey and wrapped in a filo dough. It's good. You can get it in a Greek restaurant.

It's a sweet dessert very rich. I have friends from Iran and every time they have a party we are lucky to have this kind of treat.
