On my last visit, I had their Turkish ice-cream, since then have added another sweet item to their menu.

They have added the Baklava to the menu, it costs $42 for three.

Baklava (Greek:μπακλαβάς) is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey.
The size of the Baklava's were about 4cm x 4cm, the appearance looked like ordinary pastries with green pistachio filling in the middle.
The top of it was flaky, while the bottom layer was chewy, sticky and oozed with syrup.
In the middle there was moist grounded pistachios that was not sweet.
But overall, it was very sweet from the syrup soaked bottom layer.
If it were less sweet I would have liked it more or if there was cream to go with it.
For $42 it was slightly expensive considering it was just puff pastry, pistachio and syrup.
