Warbat
Warbat (Arabic: وربات) is an Arabic sweet pastry (originally from Jordan) similar to baklava, consisting of layers thin phyllo dough filled with custard,[1][2] though it is sometimes also filled with pistachios, walnuts, almonds,[3] or sweet cheese.[4]
When served with cream it is called warbat bi-qishteh or warbat be kishta. The treat is particularly associated with the Ramadan holiday.[5]
