What Pakhlava is
Layered pastry with nuts and honey syrup, cut into diamonds.
Pakhlava is listed as a bakery item in the Azerbaijan guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.

Pakhlava is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Azerbaijan. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
