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.
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 🇵🇸🫶🏽
Un pur délice, légèret & gourmande à la fois le vrai bon goût de la kunefa fait maison aussitôt fini qu'on en redemande. Il y a 2 variantes & je les recommande toutes les 2.
