La Saporita Di Atoufi Mourad In Torino

Very good, best Arabian pastry’s you can find, probably in Europe

Today I tried their pastries for the first time, getting them to go and having them for breakfast. I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. Besides being unique and carefully crafted, it's also very vegan friendly. These Middle Eastern pastries are beautiful to look at, with their decorations, and they're also very sweet.

This place, like the one on Via Marghera, offers a wide selection of traditional Lebanese sweets made with pistachios, almonds, and walnuts. The mint tea, prepared just like it is in the Middle East, is also delicious. The atmosphere is small but welcoming, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable.

I took some sweets to take away (they cost less than eating them at the table) and two others to eat on site, and they were all delicious!

The staff is courteous and friendly, there's a wide variety of pastries, and a sweetened Moroccan tea that, alas, turns poisonous after eating some of the overly sweet treats. You'd eat them all at first sight, but if you start with the super sweet ones, you won't be able to finish them all. Last but not least, the prices are very high, certainly not justifiable, considering the easy availability of raw materials.

I would go back for the tea and cakes, but I would definitely avoid their Dubai chocolate, which is perhaps the worst I've tried so far.

Disappointed half an hour earlier by the poor quality and rudeness of another Middle Eastern pastry shop on the other side of Corso Buenos Aires, we decide to stop by and grab something to enjoy. Parking is a bit difficult, so we have to find a way... but we've been wanting to come here for a long time, having seen the ads on their vans around the city. I choose the second-largest package (beautiful, well-presented, and perfect for a gift), which is carefully filled according to my selection and finally weighed (about 700g) for a total of €24.50. Meanwhile, I survey the space: a bit cramped but welcoming, perfect for a relaxing half-hour of tea or coffee with a friend. The server is friendly and courteous, and all in all, aside from the price of this treat (€35/kg), the purchase is a pleasant one. He, however—at my specific request, given the burn I'd just gotten—confirmed that the products were made that day, or rather, just arrived—in fact, their van was outside, so everything fits. Tonight we consumed the contents accompanied by a herbal tea; they weren't exactly crumbly (but not like the ones at the other bakery, which needed a chisel!), the flavor was "unremarkable" and a bit heavy on the stomach. Frankly, we were expecting a little more. However, they were still decent, you have to know how to choose: the best were the coconut desserts, the kataifi average, while the baklava was a no-go (currently the best in Milan is sold by an unsuspecting Turkish kebab shop!). I wouldn't rule out returning, especially to eat on-site; for now, the experience is a three-star one.

The Arab atmosphere and the very warm staff, not to mention their delicious food.

The food is good, but that's already known. The difference is made by the people who work here. Kind, smiling, and professional.

Beautiful experience, very nice and welcoming place, the prices are right for the quality
