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!
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!
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!

First Nations against Genocide! My people stand with you. The best authentic Knafe I have had so far ❤? my daughter wanted her own Knafe for her birthday & they sent extra syrup as she loves it extra sweet. Thank you so much. Palestine will rise ❤?
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.

First time ordering from Knafé shop ... Awesome! Authentic, premium ingredients, sweetened just right! You get extra sugar syrup but I did not use it was just great w/out any extra. The owner very friendly & kind. Will be coming for more... All in all 10/10!
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!
