Znoub el Sit—translated as “The Lady’s Fingers”—is a dessert with elegance in every bite. Its name is a nod to its shape: delicate rolls of crispy phyllo dough filled with rich ashta (clotted cream), then lightly fried and dipped in rosewater syrup.
A beloved sweet across the Levant, Znoub el Sit traces its origins to Ottoman kitchens, where phyllo-based desserts flourished as culinary art. In Iraqi and broader Middle Eastern food culture, it symbolizes refinement—something served to honor guests or mark celebrations.
At Byblos, we stay true to tradition while using the freshest ingredients to let the textures and floral notes shine. Each bite is crisp, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet.
