French technique,
Kurdish soul.

We laminate by hand before dawn, mill our own flour, and pull espresso from beans roasted three streets away. Rosewater, pistachio and date fold into every layer, a bakehouse that carries the warmth of home into the night.

Booked the courtyard for a birthday. Impeccable service, and the pistachio everything is unreal.
