“One of the 100 Best Bakeries in America” - Food & Wine
Shatila Bakery was founded by Lebanese immigrants Riad and Zeinat Shatila back in 1979, and since then it’s become a Detroit-area landmark for its stellar selection of Middle Eastern pastries made with only the highest-quality ingredients and recipes that haven’t changed in decades. What started as a small bakery with a handful of employees is today a state-of-the-art operation shipping to legions of fans worldwide.
Shatila remains a family-run operation, and they remain committed to making their all-natural desserts by hand, the old-fashioned way. Baklava contains layer after layer of tissue-thin filo dough, rich butter, fresh nuts and syrup; and all their other baked goods, from nut- and date-studded mamoul to sweet fried syrup bites known as awameh, are authentically Old World and astoundingly delicious.
