    Was it perhaps a sweet pide where the restaurant had made a variation on a usually savoury dish?
    Pide is delicious, but it is very bread-y. This was more pastry.

    I hadn't, but I had a scroll through and it's none of these.

    Flaounas?

    A variation of Levantine flatbread?
    Again neither, the only dairy element I could detect was butter rather than cream / cheese. And the nuts were the star, rather than the pastry.

    Could you ask the restaurant? The receipt will have their name and Google may find you their website or email address.

    I did actually email the bakery straight after I ate the goodies, before the packaging was disposed of. That was days ago w/o response, so I thought I'd try here.

    Tomorrow I'm going to have a go at making it, using puff pastry. It's my Mum's birthday and I shall surprise her with it rather than a cake. (I have a box of baclava in reserve should it not work out...!). Next time I go to London I will make a trip to TFC, as they have fantastic instore bakeries.

    Well it tasted divine! It didn't have quite as much caramel on it though, just enough.

    Thanks everyone for helping here!
