The kunafa & cheese were delicious! My only suggestion would be to change the type of ghee they use & make it with animal ghee instead. I think it would make the flavor much richer & even more delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed it!
They CHANGED THEIR CHEESE….. i used to love their kunafa after a long time decided to try again & was surprised by the cheese swap…. They were known for their kunafa cheese change ,reputation changed also i guess…!!!!
A True Gem!
My husband & I are visiting Montreal from the US, & we had to stop by Knafé Stop after hearing great things - & wow, it did not disappoint. It's hard to find truly authentic knafe these days, but this one was absolutely delicious - light, flavorful, & perfectly balanced without that heavy ghee taste some versions have.
The owner was incredibly friendly & welcoming, taking the time to explain how they make their own cheese in-house & source their ingredients directly from Nablus, Palestine. As someone who's actually had knafe in Nablus, I can confidently say this is the real deal. Fresh, authentic, & made with care - truly a hidden gem! 💛🇵🇸
Ordered one of each knafe to enjoy on the bus to the airport. I had my hands full so had to wait a bit to crack it open. I was sweaty & hot by the time I walked to the 747 bus to YUL. Hesitant to eat a warm treat, I dove right in. WOW! Very good. The vermicelli was crispy & crunchy soaked the sugar syrup right up; slightly buttery & greasy, cheese was soft & just a hint of salt; with pistachios on top. Not too sweet either. Very delicious. I devoured it before I got to check in counter. The other one I gifted to the customer agents who accepted delightfully. She got the one with extra sauce on the side & it was still warm! Very good - will come back just for this & those fries with the gravy on it all the way from NYC!
So good!! I had the vermicelli knafe & it was freshly made, warm & the cheese was chewy & the outside was crispy. Staff was very nice & i loved the decor. 10/10 would recommand & its so worth the price!
Located on Dudemain Street, this small Knefa shop brings authentic Palestinian flavors to Montreal. The knefa is made fresh right in front of you, & I was really impressed by the taste, which is a bit different from the Lebanese version. Personally, I think it could use a bit more cheese for the base, but overall, it's a great find. As a suggestion, I recommend the owner consider offering knefa buns for those who enjoy eating it with bread. It could also be either a bit less expensive or slightly bigger. A quick tip: consider ordering by phone before coming, as there can be a wait time. A delightful new discovery for any knefa lover!
Knafé Stop's Knafé Nabulsi is the perfect balance of sweet & salty with this deep, aromatic, rich flavor that is very difficult to describe. The knafé was the best I have ever had in my life, & it is incomparable. The price was a bit high for me but TOTALLY WORTH ALL OF IT! After the first spoonful, I knew that I did not overpay it at all. The quality of the ingredients, the process of making it, the time/care/effort, along with the final product make it all worth it. I cannot wait to go back to try knafé cheese (vermicelli) & another knafé nabulsi. I wish I lived closer; I would visit often. It is a whole another experience; I recommend everyone to try it. Also, the restaurant is very clean.
