Luscious Baklava

After reading about Baklava at my friend Kamal's blog, i had been waiting to taste it. But, dont know why, never actually set out to taste it. On one of the recent saturday evenings, after lazy day, started the craving to taste something new. Had to decide between Mexican food(at Chilis in Inorbit mall) or Baklava or Sithafal Icecream. Finalized on Baklava.

Googled the sweet niravana restaurant(where its said that we find delicious baklava), called up to find if they are serving the dish today. And i set out to sweet niravana near madhapur police station in Hitec city.

The restaurant was almost empty with just one small b'day party. The ambience was so pleasant. Lot of greenery, serene atmosphere. I knew the cost of the dish already. Its Rs.250/. Yes, you read it correctly. Its a bit on higher price. So, was prepared for it. I order Bakalava and waited for the dish.

The dish was served. The first look was heavenly dish honey dripping from the dish, hiding & peeping out dry nuts and still crispy looking Bakalava.

 It was served with a fork and spoon. The waiting me had tough time to tear the first part of the dish. Knife would have been easy.

The taste was fantabulous. It looked a bit more sweetish on the first bite, but my taste buds got it right and adjusted from the second bite onwards. Very nice desert and i like to taste different tastes and experiment. But, being a vegetarian limit my options.
