Reviews consistently praise Knafé Stop for a standout knafe with a crispy exterior and gooey Nabulsi cheese, a well balanced sugar syrup, and textures that range from soft to pleasantly crunchy, with many calling it the best knafe in Laval and Montreal and noting the warm, friendly service and the Palestinian inspired ambiance. While the flavors are widely celebrated, some critics point out that portions can be small for the price and that prices are a bit high, with one report of inconsistency between locations and another noting a batch where the syrup had undissolved sugar. A number of experiences highlight excellent service and staff who explain ingredients and history, making the visit feel authentic and welcoming, and several reviewers say they cannot wait to return and bring friends or family. One note mentions a very cold interior in winter due to heating issues, and another mentions a large knafe with too little pastry, though an update reported a much improved replacement; overall impressions lean toward a must try for an authentic kunafe experience with care in preparation and a willingness to return.
This is my first time coming here, The small Knafe Nabulsi & mint tea & it is very so good! . I will definitely be come back & try different tastes! Thank you for the great knafe.
La knafa était succulente ! Fraiche , bien présentés & savoureuse .On s'est tous régalés. Merci pour la qualité & le soin apporté - je recommande à 100 % !
& la madame est très gentille & très propre .
Merci
One of the best knafe I have ever tasted, taza 😁, also light & satisfying, Service is great & the Palestinian design is breathtaking. 🥰 Will definitely come back.
Le knafé n'était pas réussie, le sirop contenait du sucre non dissous & il y avait du sucre solide sur le dessus. Très décevant.
Mise à jour:
le magasin m'a contactée & m'a offert une nouvelle knafé. Cette fois-ci, elle était bien meilleure. J'apprécie leur professionnalisme & leur souci de satisfaire leurs clients.

Absolutely Outstanding Kunafe, A Taste of Authentic Nablus in Montreal!
If you're searching for the real kunafe experience in Montreal, Knafé Stop is the place to go. I've had kunafe in many cities, but nothing compares to what they're doing here, it's authentic, perfectly balanced, & made with real Nabulsi cheese, which is incredibly rare to find in North America.
The kunafe was golden, crispy on the outside, & wonderfully gooey inside with that slightly salty, stretchy Nabulsi cheese that melts in your mouth. You can tell they're using traditional ingredients & techniques, it's not overly sweet like other places that try to imitate the flavor. The sugar syrup is just the right amount, allowing the richness of the cheese & semolina to shine through.
The portion was generous, served warm & fresh, & the texture was spot-on: crunchy top, soft base, & cheese that pulls beautifully. I also appreciated the friendly & welcoming service, the staff were happy to explain the ingredients & even share some of the history behind the dish.
Whether you're familiar with Middle Eastern desserts or trying kunafe for the first time, Knafé Stop delivers an unforgettable experience. You can taste the care & tradition in every bite. A must-visit if you love authentic sweets, or simply want to taste a piece of Palestinian heritage in the heart of Montreal.
Will definitely be back, & bringing friends next time!
We had the Knafé Nabulsié & it's just perfect! The texture, the balance & sweetness! The coffee is rich & tastes so good! Would definitely be back with friends & family!
