er, well, baklava is traditional to many ethnicities across the middle east, and each has its own variant of it (and many ethnicities have several different traditional variants within :D)
anything dipped in chocolate is not 'traditional' (athan's bakery has chocolate-dipped baklava, delicious but non-traditional!) anything else pretty much is. baklava = some kind of syrup (honey or sugar based) poured over layers of phyllo alternating with some kind of nut, usually walnut, often a mix of walnut with pistachio.
sorry tl;dr that was probably way too much information! lol the greek corner near davis has traditional greek-style baklava, but there are many amazing delicious variations of traditional baklava from many other countries. :D
