Chehade El Bahsa & Son Sweets

This is my favorite spot for Lebanese desserts. I have visited this place multiple times over the years and I must admit that the quality has been a bit inconsistent. Some days, the pastries are amazing with a buttery flakiness, while other days they are soggy and stale. However, the service here is excellent. Even when I only had a $1 coin, the owner would generously give me a piece of baklava and perform a magic trick where a coin would magically appear out of thin air. This hidden gem is a wonderful local spot.

This Lebanese sweet manufacturer in Sydney offers high quality treats with the best taste, making it worth the extra cost. The clotted cream, known as Ashta or "Kashta" in classical Arabic, is a standout ingredient used in their desserts such as Knefah, Znood el Sit, and Atayif. The shop's commitment to using fresh and tasty nuts results in the very best nut-filled sweets. A visit to this classic sweet shop is a must for dessert lovers.

Dessert is a must, and for the conclusion of what was a day of elaborate taste testing, we visit Chehade El Bahsa Sons. They have been winning the SBS Feast food awards every year since 2007, and their specialty is their homemade sweet and milky cream “ajtar”, which is made by skimming the top of boiling milk for several hours this family run business has been making this cream for 70 years.

There’s the joy of discovering a new Lebanese sweets shop, and then there’s the absolute delight of finding yourself in front of a tray of freshly made el znood el sit. The golden pastry, deliciously sticky with fragrant syrup and encasing that lovely ashta. No surprise what we had!
