North African, Middle Eastern & Traditional Sweets

North African, Middle Eastern & Traditional Sweets for Pastries, Tartlets & Dessert Pots

Shop regional sweet favourites sold mainly by piece, from Date Pastries (Makrout Aux Dattes) 50g, Qalb El Louz (Heart of Almonds) 150g and Baklawa (بقلاوة) to Bradj (Semolina Diamonds with Date Filling) (البراج), Kadaif (Kunafa Pistachio Nests) (كنافة أعشاش بالفستق), Mouhalabiyeh (Lebanese orange blossom flan) (مهلبية) and Dziriette (Algerian Almond & Honey Tartlets) (دزيريات). This page is built for tea-time sweets, after-dinner treats, dessert platters, relaxed family sharing and traditional sweet moments at home.

It is also broader than one single national dessert style. The live range brings together North African favourites, Middle Eastern sweets and a few wider traditional lines in one place, while keeping the buying model simple. Most products are easy individual pastries, biscuits, tartlets or dessert pots, with a more presentation-led option such as Stuffed Dates with Creamy Cheese & Nuts Board 250g for a richer sweet-sharing table.

What you can buy in this traditional sweets counter

The page mixes different kinds of regional sweet formats rather than repeating one pastry style throughout, which makes it useful for both familiar favourites and mixed sweet selection at home.

• Semolina, date, honey and almond pastries such as Makrout, Qalb El Louz, Bradj, Baklawa, Samsa and Honey & Almond Cigar for classic sweet plates, tea-time and guests.
• Biscuits and pastry-counter favourites such as Jam Ring Biscuits, Coconut Jam Thumbprint Cakes, Biscotti Croki and Almond Gazelle Horns for easier pick-and-mix style sweet browsing.
• Dessert-pot and plated-style lines such as Mouhalabiyeh and Thiakry, alongside a richer sharing option like the Stuffed Dates with Creamy Cheese & Nuts Board.
• Wider traditional sweet touches such as Shebakia (Griwech) (الشباكية / قريوش), Khobz El Bey (خبز الباي) and Fried Sweet Plantains (Maduros), which keep the page broader than a narrow one-country pastry selection.

A mostly piece-led buying model that makes mixing sweets easy

One of the strongest things about this page is how easy it is to build a mixed sweet basket without committing to large dessert packs. The live range is led mainly by individual formats, including 50g / 1 pastry for Makrout, 1 tartlet for Dziriette and 1 dessert pot for Mouhalabiyeh, while the Stuffed Dates board is sold as a 250g board for a more shareable presentation-led option.

That makes the page practical for shoppers who want to choose a few different sweets for guests, tea and coffee moments, dessert platters or a relaxed treat at home. Instead of buying one large cake only, you can build variety more easily through smaller traditional sweet formats that already suit individual serving and simple table sharing.

Traditional sweet names, familiar favourites and stronger cultural identity

Several live product titles keep the Arabic alongside the English name, which helps this page feel closer to a real traditional sweets counter rather than a generic dessert archive. That is especially useful for shoppers looking for recognised favourites such as Baklawa (بقلاوة), Bradj (البراج), Khobz El Bey (خبز الباي), Mouhalabiyeh (مهلبية), Almond Gazelle Horns (كعب الغزال), Shebakia (الشباكية / قريوش) and Dziriette (دزيريات).

It also gives the page a stronger identity within Grocery & Tradition, especially for shoppers who want regional dessert favourites, mixed sweet platters or a more traditional treat selection alongside their wider home-food basket.

Ideal for tea, coffee, dessert platters and sweet sharing at home

This page works particularly well for tea-time sweets, coffee breaks, after-dinner treats, mixed dessert plates and lighter sweet tables for guests. The mostly piece-led format keeps it easy to combine different pastries and dessert styles without overcomplicating the order, while the board-style and richer pastry options help when you want something a little more presentation-led.

If you are building a wider sweet basket, this section sits naturally alongside Whole Cakes, Tarts & Cheesecakes for larger dessert centrepieces and Patisserie, Desserts & Ice Cream for more French-style plated desserts and puddings. If you need practical ordering or delivery guidance before checkout, you can also visit Help & FAQs.

Customer FAQs

What kind of sweets are included on this page?
This page includes semolina pastries, almond sweets, honey pastries, tartlets, biscuits, dessert pots and a sharing-style stuffed-dates board, so it is broader than one single pastry style.

Is this page focused on one country only?
No. The live range brings together North African, Middle Eastern and other traditional sweet favourites in one counter, which makes it better for mixed sweet browsing than a one-country-only section.

How are the products mainly sold?
Most products are sold mainly by piece or as individual sweet formats, such as one pastry, one tartlet or one dessert pot, with a small number of more presentation-led options such as the 250g stuffed-dates board.

Are Arabic names shown on the live products?
Yes. Several live products keep Arabic alongside the English name, which helps shoppers recognise traditional favourites more easily.

Is this page better for individual treats or sharing?
It works for both. Most of the range suits individual sweet moments and easy mix-and-match plates, while a few richer or board-style products make sharing more natural.

What should I browse next after this page?
If you want more pâtisserie-style desserts, go back to Patisserie, Desserts & Ice Cream. If you are moving on from sweets to the savoury side of the category, Savoury Pies & Quiches is the natural next stop.
