"Sure, the savoury side of Lebanese cooking might get all the glory, but this sweet emporium in an otherwise nondescript industrial estate in Acton could convert even the most ardent savoury aficionado. Since 1997, Sweetland has been serving up rows upon rows of traditional Arabic sweets, like maamoul, rose Turkish Delight and Halawet-El-Jibn (sweet cheese rolls), all handmade in-house. But it’s the knafeh — a creamy cheese dessert drizzled with rose blossom syrup — that really hits the spot; a fave among the local community." - Salma Haidrani
