About Us
At Al Hamdani Sweets, we bring you more than just delicious baklava and Middle Eastern treats—we bring you a story of resilience, tradition, and the power of community. Founded by Iraqi Christian bakers who fled persecution, our business is built on the values of family, faith, and the art of baking passed down through generations.
Our journey began in the kitchens of Iraq, where baking wasn’t just a profession but a way of life. Forced to leave our homeland due to violence and unrest, we sought refuge in the United States, carrying with us the rich culinary traditions of the Middle East. Today, through Al Hamdani Sweets, we proudly share the authentic flavors of home with people across the country.
Our Mission
Our mission is to preserve and celebrate the authentic tastes of Middle Eastern sweets, particularly baklava, while providing our customers with high-quality, handcrafted treats that are made with love and tradition. Each piece of baklava is crafted using time-honored recipes and only the finest ingredients, ensuring that every bite is a sweet connection to our heritage.
Crafted with Care
Every treat from Al Hamdani Sweets is more than just a dessert—it’s a testament to the strength and perseverance of a family who refused to give up. From our signature pistachio baklava to the delicate Burma baklava, we blend tradition with skill, creating sweets that honor our past while providing a taste of hope for the future.
A Sweet Tradition
Baklava is at the heart of what we do. This iconic dessert, known for its crispy phyllo layers, rich nut fillings, and sweet syrup, is a symbol of celebration and hospitality in the Middle East. At Al Hamdani Sweets, we continue this tradition, making baklava that brings people together—whether it’s for a holiday, a family gathering, or simply to enjoy a moment of indulgence.
Supporting Our Community
Our story is one of survival and triumph, and we believe in giving back. As refugees, we know the importance of helping others in need. That’s why a portion of our profits goes to supporting refugee families and initiatives that provide aid to displaced communities, helping them find new opportunities and a fresh start, just as we did.
Al Hamdani Sweets is more than just a bakery—it’s a celebration of culture, resilience, and the sweet taste of heritage. We invite you to taste our story in every bite.
