Why Baklava?

Baklava became a pandemic obsession - experimenting with tastes, syrups, and combinations reaching versions that just had to be shared. The Persian Table is bringing baklava to the DC area with unique Persian flavors: Orange Cardamom, Sour Cherry Cinnamon, Rose, and Persian Lime Coconut. Find us at local markets and pop-up events in DC - follow us on Instagram for upcoming dates and locations!

Past Participation

The Persian Table started in 2017 as the Saffron Society, a series of donation dinners featuring Persian foods to raise money for organizations that focus on advancing and defending civil rights and social justice, following post-election attacks on civil liberties and Americans of Middle Eastern descent. This concept evolved into Kabobs for a Cause, providing a pandemic-safe Persian food pick-up option in 2020, 2021, and 2024. Good food in exchange for good deeds has raised $6,990 in direct donations across these events for organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), Black Lives Matter, and Gaza relief efforts.
