Spices is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've been to - and I lived in Jerusalem for a year during college. It's the closest thing to the food out there, and maybe even better. I go at least once a week!
Sweet malawach and rolled baklava were the only two choices for dessert, and since I'd already eaten plenty of puff pastry between the malawach cheese crisp and the bourekas, I craved baklava instead.
This was an interesting version — deceptively dry-looking, rolled in pale sheets of phyllo, with crushed pistachios on top. But biting into one these plump, cigar-shaped confections, I found that the papery outer layer of dough gave way to an almost juicy, doughy middle that was neither sickly sweet nor packed with dry nut filling like some kinds of baklava. I was tempted to order seconds.

After all, I doubted I'd be baking up a batch of baklava at home anytime soon.
