Reviews portray Knafé Stop as a place where knafe is made to order, fresh and hot, with options like nablusi with vermicelli and extra syrup on the side, and a soft, flavorful cheese center that many call authentic and addictive; the service is consistently described as friendly and welcoming, the vibe cozy, and takeout convenient, with portions often seen as good value despite some noting higher prices; many reviewers say it is among the best knafe in Montreal and praise the care in sourcing ingredients and making cheese in house, while a few mention slower service or a wish for more syrup or a more balanced sweetness; the impression across reviews is that Knafé Stop is a standout for Palestinian style desserts in Montreal, with fans extending praise to Laval and downtown locations and promising they will return.
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.
This was our first time trying knafé, a Palestinian dessert of a soft, sweet cheese topped with a fine semolina dough, pistachios, & syrup. It is delicious & beautiful. The bakery has a simple menu (knafé, madlouka, coffee & tea) & very high quality. We look forward to returning. Thank you!
I tried this place because it kept coming on tik tok. I tried both types of knefeh, ne3meh & Kheshneh & they were both delicious . The owner was making it on the spot. Generous cheese in the knefeh.
