The Holy month of Ramadhan is in full swing, it’s the perfect time not just for prayer offerings but also feasting on delicacies that leave some warm memories for family and friends. WHAT’S HOT IN MUMBAI came across BAKHLAVAJI, this amazing specialty hamper creation brand which offers some of the most delectable Mediterranean sweet treats.

WHY WHAT’S HOT IN MUMBAI RECOMMENDS “BAKHLAVAJI”?

We have tried and tested some bakhlava (spelt as per the branding name) options which stood on par with the originals. What makes ‘Bakhlavaji’ stand out and blitzkrieg ahead of the competition is their uniqueness of introducing some creatively-curated varieties and also unfurling the hidden gems of the Arabic cuisine.

How the journey started?

We vouch for the logic that the Arabic sweet treats arena is not just a temptation but an addiction too. Once you have tasted the ‘bakhlava’ or the ‘kunafa’, you would always yearn to have more. Taking this dream forward and noticing the niche market for these exotic sweet treats, Hyder Hussain did all his groundwork while he was in Kuwait. The whiz kid wanted to revolutionize the ‘sweets’ zone with some innovative classics which were still waiting to be unfurled.

It was Hyder’s passion for the ‘sweets’ and the dynamism to carve a niche that gave birth to ‘Bakhlavaji’. The brand has evoked a storm especially in the exotic luxury hamper zone, plus the corporate domain.

What makes ‘Bakhlavaji’ a SUPERHIT?

Every fine nuance, right from the branding and packaging is a standout sensation. The sweet treats are not just delectable but loaded with pristine perfection that sets them apart from the competition. The hidden gems are pure dynamite variations that add the punch to a perfect gift box for your loved one or as giveaways on weddings or festival gifting.

You must order to savour the goodness that ‘Bakhlavaji’ offers. Their service is timely and the options they bestow on you are mind-boggling.

Here’s what we tried:

Assorted Bakhlava Box

This box included some unique, assorted combinations of old-world recipes and proprietary innovations of the brand. We tried the following flavours which were brilliantly and perfectly flavoured to offer a zingy taste - Pistachio | Hazelnut | Cashew | Almond | Walnut | Chocolate – each one had different textures and were mind-blowing. You can also choose to opt for other flavours like Nest [Crème| Cranberry], Rose Pistachio or Walnut Cinnamon.

The crispy, crunchy effect will linger in your memories for long. The dry fruit super-loaded munchies are a treat for sure!

Dancing with the Dates collection:

This includes the original dates and some marvellous stuffed version. This Mediterranean-inspired snack loved by everyone around the world especially during the Holy month of Ramadhan.

You can opt to choose from various variants from different Mediterranean Countries. Your choice options are Mabroom and Ajwa from Saudi Arabia, Deglet Nour from Algeria, Ameri from Iraq or Medjoul from Morocco, Saudi or Palestine.

Some unique, untouched Mediterranean creations:

While most of us are in awe of baklawas, there are some hidden gems that have been added to the brand’s collection. These are surely a must-try too.

Basically, a Mediterranean stuffed cookie, this one is low on sugar but robust in flavour. A handcrafted creation made from semolina and flour, Maamoul is a perfect treat for gifting something different to you family and friends. You have three flavour options to choose from: Date | Pistachio | Walnut.

GHORAYB:

This again is a hidden gem hailing as a delicacy from the Ancient Egyptians. These butter cookies can be served as a sweet or savoury option. You have flavour option like Sweet butter cookie or Zaatar herb cookie.

These hidden gems were surely an eye-opener for us. Kudos to the team for exploring unchartered zones and offering something unique.
