Baklava-Inspired Cheesecakes

Apóla Greek Grill Debuts a New Baklava Cheesecake in Time for SUmmer

— July 26, 2022 — Lifestyle
Apóla Greek Grill, the burgeoning fast-casual Greek restaurant chain, recently expanded its summer offerings with the introduction of a Baklava Cheesecake. A thick and creamy New York-style cheesecake will be topped with pieces of baklava and drizzled with honey. Baklava, the traditional Greek pastry, is made from phyllo dough, walnuts and honey, all baked together to make a light, flaky and sweet treat.

"We know our fans expect to get the same traditional flavors that we did in our family kitchen growing up, and this is no different,” said Founder Yianni Kosmides. “We love cheesecake, and we love baklava, so we thought everyone would love blending them together to make this one-of-a-kind delicious treat. Our mom is famous for her cheesecakes, especially baklava cheesecake, and it’s the perfect complement to one of our Authentic Greek Gyros!”

Regularly priced at $6.99 per slice, Apóla is offering a summer promotion through the end of August and taking $2 off for all customers who simply state where they heard about the Baklava Cheesecake..
