A small, dedicated kunafe shop in the Al-Zaidi district's Al-Takhasosi area, right next to Khayal restaurant. No frills, just properly made kunafe — crispy shredded pastry, stretchy melted cheese, and sweet syrup.
What to order
Classic Kunafe — the original and best. Golden, crispy, and loaded with cheese.
Pistachio Kunafe — topped with crushed pistachios for extra crunch.
Our take
A neighbourhood gem that relies on word-of-mouth rather than a big online presence. The kunafe is fresh, made to order, and exactly what you want after a big meal. Best eaten immediately — don't let it cool down.
