The top of it was flaky, while the bottom layer was chewy, sticky and oozed with syrup.

In the middle there was moist grounded pistachios that was not sweet.

But overall, it was very sweet from the syrup soaked bottom layer.

If it were less sweet I would have liked it more or if there was cream to go with it.
For $42 it was slightly expensive considering it was just puff pastry, pistachio and syrup.
