Warbat

Warbat in Old City (Jerusalem).

Warbat (Arabic: وربات), an Arabic sweet pastry similar to baklava, consisting of layers of thin phyllo dough filled with custard,[1][2] though it is sometimes also filled with pistachios, walnuts, almonds,[3] or sweet cheese.[4] The dessert is topped with a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and a hint of lemon brought to a boil and then left to cool and thicken.

When served with cream it is called warbat bi-qishteh or warbat be gishta. The treat is particularly associated with the religious holiday Ramadan.[5] It's also popular in Lebanon, where it's also known by the name of Shaabiyat.
