one of the best knafe i've tried in montreal! they prepare it on the spot so you're sure to have something fresh & hot. i took the nablusi & vermicelli & both were excellent. they even give you extra syrup on the side so you can sweeten it to your taste. it is a bit more pricey than other places but it's worth every penny. i will definitely come back!
The kunafa we ordered was fresh & delicious, & we really enjoyed it. However, the person serving us was not very customer-friendly & seemed a bit impatient. The place itself was quite small & felt a bit cramped & gloomy.

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! 💛🇵🇸
This was my first time tasting Knafe. What a superb dessert! I've never had anything like it before.
Made fresh by friendly staff. The place was clean & air conditioned. I highly recommend this place!
So tasty & yummy. They cook the kunafa after you order. So its so much fresh. Authentic Palestinian shop. They decorated it as such also. The overall vibe as so chill.
The decorations were clean & the waitress was so humble
It was a very enjoyable experience
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!

We were visiting from Toronto & our friends took us to this place. I knew it had to be good when they were willing drive half an hour out of their way just to come here. It was the best Knafe I have ever had!! It's made warm & fresh to order. I really loved that it's not too sweet, just perfect. The Palestinian coffee is also amazing. The owner was really friendly & nice to us!
I tried many places in Montreal but this is beyond the yummiest knafe I had, Saad owner was super friendly & attentive, & the best thing about this place is that they make fresh knefa for each order, wait is worthy, in this inflation time there prices are very reasonable. Hands down for the best knefa in Montreal ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!
