A confectionery kitchen is offering a quintet of freshly baked, hand-crafted Mediterranean-style baklava varieties

Mezaya does a Mediterranean version of the baklava, which is less sweet than the Middle Eastern one
Operating out of five delivery outlets in Andheri, Bandra, Prabhadevi, Mahalaxmi and Kalyan, Mezaya calls itself a Mediterranean-style baklava purveyor. For those of us who may not know it, this style of baklava is a lot less sweet than, and not as rich as its Middle Eastern counterpart.
Offering just five varieties of baklava — that incidentally, all have the letters ‘MEZ’ at the beginning of their names — Mezaya prefers to keep its menu succinct. We first try a box of the delicious Mezwa (6/12 pieces for `550/1,100) that are square-shaped sheets of phyllo pastry holding forth chopped walnuts, and drizzled with a blonde caramel syrup.
