A hidden middle eastern/ Turkish bakery in spring valley? I've lived here for a while and didn't know this place was in the plaza where wienerschnitzel is. So excited because now I can get my favorite baklavas, Turkish coffee and sweets cravings when I want! I can't wait to go here again and try the coffee. This place is such a hidden gem. With amazing staff, they let you try a piece so you know what you're getting. There is also plenty of parking and they take tap and Apple Pay. read more

What a gem of a bakery. Every item is truly delectable and I felt like I couldn't eat everything I got fast enough. I love that most of the dessert options come with pistachio. But they offer a wide variety of different sweets options. My best friend and I both got a small box each and paid around $15-$20 and it was worth every cent. A younger gal helped us out and presented her a couple favorites of hers for us to take home and none of them disappointed. This bakery is now going to added as a favorite of mine. Its a little out of the way for where I live but I wouldn't mind making the trip. read more

Amazing sweets + amazing customer service by Riva :) she greeted me as soon as I walked into the door and offered me a sample to enjoy while I waited for her to ring up the person before me and answered all my questions I had about different sweets. She recommended the milk soaked baklava (SO GOOD!!) and it may be my new favorite along with znood el sit (lady arms is what she also called them). Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a delicious sweet treat. I will be coming back very soon! :) read more

While waiting for my order at ZAD next door, I decided to check this place out and the experience started off perfectly. A woman immediately offered me a sample of a "lady arm" (not what it sounds like, lol). One bite and I was hooked. It pretty much convinced me to grab a box on the spot. I wanted to go big and order everything, but since I'm heading to Hawaii next week, I settled for a small box of mixed goodies instead. Every single piece I tried was amazing. I loved how pistachios were used in so many different ways, yet each dessert had its own unique flavor and texture. Such a great spot for anyone with a sweet tooth! read more

Each time we are at a restaurant in the same strip mall, we end up here. They have lovely treats! I love baklava and they have a great assortment of baklava as well as other treats to try. It is all fresh and nice and crispy. I love pistachio baklava the most and they have plenty of options. We always end up with at least a pound to go and eat it over a few days. The staff are always pleasant and will answer any questions you have. I would highly recommend! read more

Went to pick up some dessert on a Saturday afternoon and had such great service! First on the phone we spoke with Aflen and she was so sweet and assisted us with our phone order. During pick up, which was quite busy, we were helped by Zahra and she was so sweet and helpful as well! She nicely packed up our lady finger dessert and mixed Kunafa so it was ready for our potluck. All the desserts were delicious and my family all loved them! Can't wait to come back for more! read more

One of my good friends introduced me to znood el sit a while back and so I decided to try Alhamdani sweets! They didn't disappoint and their znood el sit was as good as I remember it being the first time I tried the dessert! It's a very niche dessert but I am so happy I was able to find it here :) read more

The desserts are very delicious, fresh and everything is beautiful. I gave one star because the attitude of the workers are unacceptable. I ordered a large plate and I wanted to take my time with the right choice, but the worker kept giving me discomfort as if she was telling me, oh shit, just hurry up, sorry, but if you don't want to work, just don't work, you are not forced, the manager must look carefully for the workers working there read more

Best place in the west coast for middle eastern desserts! They have the best Warbat (similar to baklava but with a delicious cream cheese/custard filling).

We accidentally discovered this place because we really wanted to try more knefeh dessert at different places. Turned out there are soo many variations of this middle eastern dessert. At Alhamdani, they call it kunafa. It was pretty good, but we actually found out about other desserts that are even tastier. We fell in love with the lady fingers dessert. Every time we went, they'd treat us one of lady fingers and they were warm, crispy and creamy. It became our favorite at this desert place. Last time, we ended up taking home with lots of lady fingers - simply because one just wasn't enough. LOL. We also loved many of other desserts that are similar to baklava. This dessert place is definitely a hidden gem and we always have so much fun driving 30 mins there and bringing home so many different desserts . Btw, their prices are reasonable, compared to some other fancy Middle Eastern dessert places somewhere else. Highly recommended! read more

I really don't recommend anyone go to that place, it's the worst sweet that I ever tasted and had in my life, I sent my son to get some baklava and other mixed sweets, he drove like around 40 miles away from my home and when he got home and I grabbed one of the baklava it's the shape only of baklava but the taste was so bad, it was chewy like you eating bread and I my wife grab one of the Burma filled with pistachio and once she took a bite, she threw it in the trash, I called the store complaining about my order and ask for return and get my money back, the manager ask me to bring the order back to the store and ge store credit and no refund besides she was very rude and disrespectful and hung up on me. I do not recommend this place for anyone because the customer service, the quality of the sweets they have and their attitude. I would rate that place zero star read more

Good staff and good welcoming but sweets are not good to hard to bite them out also the sweets made with syrup we're old hard and dry inside that's why its not good to my standards Since I worked in a pastry shop for 2 years so I don't recommend this place to anyone read more

Such yummmmyyyyy desserts you have to stop by and try when you can! They're soooo nice and patient I will definitely be going everyday!

This is the second time I've picked up sweets from this place that have been stale and old. The pistachio's were not crunchy like they are supposed to be, they were very soft and tasted bitter. The backed goods we got were completely inedible. My family and I go here every other week and we never leave spending less than 50 dollars. This will be our last time ever coming here. You should be ashamed of selling old baked goods for the price you are selling them. If you are going to keep raising your prices then at least sell fresh items. We also found a small wood looking object in one of our pastries. read more
