Our Almond Manti (Qottab) are one of the most beloved Persian pastries, cherished for their delicate texture and fragrant flavour. These crescent-shaped treats are made from a flaky, golden pastry wrapped around a spiced almond filling. The filling combines finely ground almonds with the warmth of cardamom and the floral essence of rose water, creating a flavor that is aromatic, nutty, and subtly sweet.
Crisp on the outside and tender inside, Qottab embodies the heart of Persian sweets—balanced, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. Enjoyed year-round, they are especially popular during Nowruz (Persian New Year), when sharing pastries becomes a symbol of celebration and hospitality.
At Sweet Patisserie Ottawa, each Qottab is handcrafted to bring this timeless Iranian classic to your table.
