Our Bakery — Fresh Iraqi Sweets, Bread & Breakfast
Our in-house bakery is the heart of Albaghdady. Every morning we fire up the tandoor for fresh samoon, layer phyllo for kunafa and baklava, hand-roll burma and ladyfingers, and hand-fold fatayer and manakish — all from the recipes our family has been baking since 1919.
Stop in for a warm samoon, pick up a tray of mixed sweets, or order ahead for your next celebration. Everything is baked the day you eat it.
