Hah, Shatila!! They are awesome. Don't go during Ramadan as you'll never even get in the door, its so crowded with Muslims buying some for parties.
I once brought a box of the big mixed trays of their baklava to an SCA hafla in the middle of PA. Someone saw me with the box and literally ran across the room all bouncing with excitement, then practically begged please please PLEASE could they have a piece. Apparently they also do mail order, and he had very occasionally been ordering a box through the mail. He'd never had it fresh before.
I really should get some for my dad sometime. He thinks baklava is that syruppy gooey stuff you get wrapped up in plastic wrap at the local coney, silly man.
