After a string of disappointing meals inaccurately rated and reviewed as very good or above 4.5, Sy Sweets was par excellence. Beautifully displayed baklava, petit fours and assorted fatayer in a pristine bakery. My mother and I were offered true Syrian hospitality with a taste of delectable crispy fresh baklava and fatayer while we waited for our manakeesh. Homesick for authentic middle Eastern baked goods, the manakeesh did not disappoint. The faintly tart spinach manakeesh, hot meat manakeesh with slightly crisp edges, mouth watering cheese and zaatar and ofcourse Muhammara. We had plenty left over for breakfast after we had happily consumed generous portions of manakeesh followed by baklava we had actually bought :). Syrian baklava vs Turkish baklava is less sweet but light and crispy. A must visit for manakeesh and baklava lovers if in Birmingham.

I absolutely love SY Sweets! Their manaqish is excellent—perfectly baked, full of flavor, and always fresh. It’s become my go-to spot whenever I’m craving something delicious and comforting. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic flavors and great service!

I love this place! They have the best pastries — especially their savory Middle Eastern maajanat. The dough is always soft and perfectly baked, and the fillings are bursting with flavor, whether it's cheese, spinach, or meat. These pastries are an absolute must-try. The service is friendly, the space is clean, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. I always leave satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit!

Fell into conversation with a local resident and was directed to SySweets "the best, you won't regret". So glad I followed his advice - it was and I don't. Although I've spent time in the Levant generally and Syria in particular I was glad of advice and assistance offered by customers (Damascus via Stourbridge) and the proprietor (Homs via Stockholm) - so much choice. I enjoyed a selection of savoury pastries, Turkish style coffee, half a kilo of sweet things to take home and a lovely little pistachio birds nest. There is seating - limited and a number of bar stools for perching. I'll be back.
