About this dish
Warbat (Arabic: وربات), also known as Shaabiyat (Arabic: شعيبيات, شعبيات) and Şöbiyet, is a Levantine sweet pastry similar to baklava. Warbat consists of layers of phyllo dough filled with a semolina based custard, though it is sometimes also filled with pistachios, walnuts, almonds, or sweet cheese. The dessert is topped with a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and lemon juice brought to a boil and then left to cool and thicken. When served with cream or qishta it is called warbat bi-qishteh or warbat be gishta. Warbat is often served during Ramadan. In Jordan, warbat and knafeh are often the most sold desserts for celebrations, such as tawjihi exam results.
