Went there to get breakfast & got not only an amazing service but one of the best knafe i ever ate. Even my mom who is always complaining loved it. Nothing to say but wow ! loved it, loved it, loved it. The cheese, the texture, the flavors, just wow.
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.

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!
