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
It was an OK knafe. I was there to support a Palestinian business & will always do but this product can be much improved. Also, I read the reviews online & I really don't appreciate how the business owner reply to customers. I find the answers to be quite disrespectful. People have different standards & taste buds.

Nothing to add to all the nice reviews. The place is cozy, the Knafe is tasty & the Turkish/Palestinian coffee is solid to balance the sweetness of the knafe. Will return for sure.
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 just ate the most delicious knafeh I ever ate! The service is so friendly & the coffee & knafeh was outstanding! Will definitely be back! Support local Palestinian owned business!
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!
I had the pleasure of dining at Knafe Stop , & I must say the experience was delightful. The ambiance was warm & inviting, & the staff made us feel right at home. From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish was thoughtfully prepared & delicious. The knafe Nabulisiewas a standout, full of flavor & beautifully presented. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming setting. As I enjoyed my meal, I couldn't help but reflect on how important it is to come together over good food & conversation, especially during times of global unrest. I stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people & support the call for justice, peace, & freedom in Palestine. May we all work towards a world where everyone can enjoy a meal in peace & security, no matter where they are from. Palestine 🇵🇸🫶🏽
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!
The absolute best knafe I've ever had!!! Came here with my Palestinian baba & we were so impressed by the authenticity & care put into their knafes. Absolutely will be back for more! Shoukran iktir!
Look no further, the PERFECT Palestinian Knafe is here! I haven't tasted these flavours since I left Jordan & grew up on Knafe Nabulsieh!!! 12/10 flavour, quality, service & true Palestinian hospitality!!! Tastes like home away from home. GO NOW. You won't regret it!!! Shukran kteer 3ahed, RAJ3EEN 10000/10000
