You can dig into delicious Turkish desserts now in Coimbatore
Baklava can be traced back to Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, as far back as 3,000 years ago. But I am relishing this delicious treat closer home: at Sweet Smith cafe in Coimbatore. Made from 40 layers of crisp phyllo sheets, filled with pistachios and cashew nuts, with a drizzle of honey on top, the baklava is indulgently sweet, yet light and crunchy.
The Sweet Smith chain was launched in Kochi by two sisters, Sanam Safid and Sonam Safid, both from Elamakkara in Kerala. They specialise in Turkish desserts from the popular baklava and kunafa, as well as the Egyptian umm ali. After catering across Kozhikode, Malappuram and Perinthalmanna in Kerala, they have just launched their first outlet in Coimbatore.
