Middle eastern sweets

I was given a box of delicious little desserts from Alexandria, Egypt. It’s called El Saidy Patisserie. I don’t see that they have a store in the US.

DC is an international city. Does anyone know of a bakery in DC specializing in middle eastern and Turkish desserts? Or perhaps somewhere else that I could order from?

You could try calling Lebanese, Israeli or other eastern Mediterranean restaurants and see if they have any leads. In my region all the Iranian, Iraqi, Afghani, Lebanese etc. groceries sell this stuff. It’s painfully slow to shop at them, since usually one has to talk with the cashier and provide him with familial updates, like how one’s cousin’s back ache is progressing, and whether the (Nicolas Joly approved) home remedy proferred on the last visit has helped.
