Looking for yufka and pismaniye in OC or LA

I have a Turkish exchange student who is missing home and would like to do some cooking. Does anyone know where we could find:

yufka (the rolled out dough used for borek),
pismaniye (a type of candy) or
leblebi (a dried chickpea snack)

Thanks for your help!

    I've bought pismaniye at:
    Super Hayat Market
    16904 Prairie Avenue
    Torrance, CA 90504
    (310) 370-5707

    I saw that this market, next to Sofra Kabab on Venice, carries different kinds of pastry dough in the refrigerated section but I didn't notice what kind they were. I did, however, notice other Turkish products in there, like some cheeses, so they may carry yuftka and leblebi (and I think I did see pismaniye there as well)..
    Payless Produce Market
    10817 Venice Boulevard

      Try this Turkish market. It's filled to the brim with great items from Turkey and they are very helpful.

      Hamle Supermarket
      9895 Warner Ave Ste A
      Fountain Valley, CA 92708
      (714) 378-0588

      If not there, try Wholesome Choice (Irvine) or Sultan Marketplace & Restaurant (Lake Forest)

        If you get desperate, call Doner G in Anaheim. It's a restaurant but maybe they can hook you up with a supplier.

          Best bet is Sofra Kabab Express on Venice, they do sell borek not sure about if they'll sell just the dough or if they carry pismaniye or leblebi.
