This baklava was amazing! The best I've ever had. The phyllo dough was crispy and flaky, and the filling was gooey and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

The baklava was good, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping. The phyllo dough was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too dry.

This baklava was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less honey next time.
