A Sweet Finish: Baklawa and Booza

Two distinct ways to finish a meal at Old Damascus, from flaky pastry to Arabic ice cream.

Baklawa dessert

The flaky finish

The Old Damascus menu lists Baklawa as layered pastry with pistachios and light syrup. Its crisp, flaky texture makes it easy to share at the end of a meal. It also pairs naturally with hot tea or Turkish coffee, both listed on the drinks menu.

If your table ordered several savory dishes, a shared dessert keeps the meal going without asking everyone to choose a separate course. Check the current menu for portion details.

Something cool and traditional

Booza is described on the menu as a traditional Arabic ice cream with a rich, stretchy texture and pistachios. It offers a cooler, creamier contrast to baklawa's pastry layers. The two desserts make a fun comparison if the table wants to try more than one style.

Dessert availability may change throughout the day. The checkout or a quick call can confirm what's available before you plan your final course around a particular item.

Make dessert part of the plan

When ordering for a larger gathering, ask how dessert portions will be packed and served. For dietary restrictions or nut allergies, call +1 (214) 242-9870 to confirm ingredients and preparation with the restaurant.

Think about when dessert will be served, too. A pastry can be arranged on a shared table, while ice cream is best discussed with the team if the meal is going to travel or sit out. For an event, ask what dessert service is practical for your venue and timing. The right choice depends as much on the setting as it does on your guests’ tastes.
