WOW - quite possibly the best beklava I've ever had in my life and don't thing anything else will top this experience. They have several nut filling options for it - walnuts, cashew,and pistachio. The walnut one was the best one as the cardamom flavors were very strong in that. It was perfectly flaky, sweet, and soft. The texture and flavors of the beklava honestly cannot be compared to anything I've had before. The kunafa was also really goood, very very sweet with the syrup and they even gave us extra syrup to pour on top which is definitely not needed unless you like it super sweet. This is a great spot across the board, well priced, and very clean with a friendly staff. read more

Spacious and clean space with excellent service. The person behind the counter was friendly and helpful. We ordered a small tray of an assortment of sweets and every single on of them tasted fresh and delicious. The kunefe was a bit on the sweeter side, so I'd order syrup on the side. read more

Familiar with the area, wanted an alternative to Nablus sweets down the street because I wanted better service. This place did not disappoint. I would say the quality was just as good, the quantity and prices were better! I will be a repeat customer. read more

Was passing by paterson and thought of getting some baklavas .. shop was kinda empty and was spacious . Lots and lots of varieties of sweets. First things first , the service was soooooo good u like many other shops like Nabula sweets. The women was so helpful and very patient . She explained me each sweet and made me choose from A vast variety . I have seen sub standard service in other shops , but Al basha was awesome . They have different sizes of plates and the rates are based on the plate size . I got a medium plate for about 12$ and mixed all sweets . Quality of sweets were good but not the best I have had . Just because of their excellent service - I'll surely give them 4 stars Parking is bad . No parking outside . Need to park in side steeets .. read more

Best Kunafa in NJ and highly recommend it! One of the best places to get Nablusi Kunafa in NJ.

We tried kunafa, cheese mutabak and helba (fennel seeds cake) all were so fresh and yummy. I honestly like this place for kunafa a little more than Nablus. Very authentic and fresh. read more

Al Basha Sweets - Kunafa - Desserts Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

Albasha sweets used to be the go to place for my family and me for knafeh and other sweets. I have been coming to this spot for six or seven years now. As of the past year or two, not only has the quality of the food been decreasing but also the customer service has dramatically decreased to the point I have decided I will never come back here again. Not only am I a long time visitor and supporter of Albasha sweets but also, I frequently have events where I show New York Muslim and Arab community a tour of Paterson and all of the food they have to offer. No matter the time of day or day of the week I visit, I am always greeted with a frown and a rush. While I do enjoy my heritage and my food, I can no longer consciously bring visitors from New York to this establishment due to the customer service that I consistently experience from the front lady specifically . read more

Al Basha Restaurant, Al Basha Bakery, and now--Al Basha Sweets! The interior is open and fairly large with plenty of seating. All of the sweets and pastries are behind a glass window, with the exception of the pre-packed sampler trays, which are on tables next to the counter. SWEETS: Kanafeh: All of the sweets here are priced by the pound, but the "slices" I asked for are $5 each, which I think is fair considering how large they were. All three slices had a generous amount of cheese. While I think an extra ladle of syrup could've been added to the batch I received, the kanafeh here is pretty good. The owner at a bakery up the street told me that the darker kunafeh was exactly the same as the bright orange one; the latter is actually the "crispy" kind (with the Kadayif shreds), while the darker one is soft. Murtabak: This is the Middle Eastern Murtabak dessert, not the Indonesian kind. It's made of phyllo dough with a thick layer of white cheese in the middle and just a little syrup and a sprinkle of pistachios on top. The cheese is thick, while the pastry as a whole isn't too sweet. Small Request: Please provide itemized/detailed receipts with individual prices (and names, if possible) instead of listing only the final cost; it would be helpful, especially if you purchase a variety of items. TOTAL: $21 for 3 slices of Kanafeh and Murtabak. The service was friendly and helpful, while the selection is similar to many of the other Middle Eastern bakeries in Paterson. read more

Loved the kunefe at this place! The rest of the desserts were fantastic as well. The gentleman working there was proud of his food and willing to share info about the choices. Definitely left there completely stuffed. Will need to return to get pictures and more dessert. read more

10/10 desserts deff going back soon I loved what I tried great customer service I'm trying more !

Note this a review from my 11/25/2017 visit to Al Basha Sweets. Al Basha Sweets is probably the sweet decadent offspring of Al Basha Restaurant which is located two minutes away. Walking into the shop, the entire area was very bright and clean with a large display counter of many available pastries. Behind the display counter, there was a flattop grill where I could see fresh Kunefe (or Kanafeh) being made which made my decision on what to buy pretty easy. I also purchased a piece of their lauded Kadayif. The Kunefe was awesome! The Kadayif shreds were still crunchy despite having absorbed a good amount of sugary syrup, but the special part of the Kunefe was the warm, gooey, and superb milky cheese filling. One quick scoop from my fork resulted in a stringy strands of the cheese pulling apart from the Kunefe like a excellent Mozzarella. Adding shredded pistachios on top was a nice touch, as they imparted a nutty flavor and additional crunchiness. Kadayif was good, but lacked that guilty pleasure element like the Kunefe's cheese. As with the Kunefe, the Kadayif shreds were still very crunchy even after a good soaking of the syrup. For the fresh Kunefe alone, this place is worth the visit! If you have time, I suggest sitting at the several available tables and enjoying a fresh piece of Kunefe along with either coffee or tea. read more

Such delicious knafeh to have even the next day (after heating It up!) with syrup included! Knafeh is one of my favorite desserts and I would definitely make the trek to Paterson just for this place read more

Wow ...the Kenafeh was the best. I thought I was in Amman Jordan after taking the first bite of this Kenafeh. The service was the best too. A wonderful gentleman took good care of my order and was extremely very kind. I will miss this place since we don't have anything close to this place in the whole Northwest. read more

Rated on customer service only. My friend and I stopped in here today for the first time after having lunch at their sister restaurant one minute down the road. The young man behind the glass counter was very kind to us and let us try some free bite size samples of their bakery goods. I always believe that if you get something for free there is nothing to complain about. We ended up not buying anything since we were a bit full from just eating lunch. After we walked out of the shop, we both looked at each other and said we should give him a tip for how nice he treated us, so I went back in and handed him a tip but the young man was not interested in the money and said no thank you in a very sincere way and simply said next time when you want sweets come back here. I walked out again and told my friend what just happened and I said that is the type of person I want working for me. If only customer service like this could be every where and all the time! So, to the owner of this place, you should know that your staff worker who worked at the counter today at around 1:30 pm is a superstar in my book and his level of hospitality is amazing. I am a fan and will be back for your sweets and pastries. read more

The place cozy and nicely decorated. The service was good . The Konafa naaema (fine konafeh dough) was delicious, fresh and hot. It is the best konafah I had in the US. Though the konafa kheshna (coarse konafa dough) was below average. The baklava was disappointing especially balwarya and mabroma. It was soggy and made with bad quality pistachio. It a must to try Konafa naema. Definitely, I will come back again for Konafah. read more

I'm not a big fan of arabic sweets. I used to love in Jordan and eat once in a blue moon from habiba. The only place I ever eat. But al Basha. My friend recommend me to just try it. And since then. I can guarantee you. You eat real Kinafeh. I love those guys. Brought back to me so many good memories with their taste. Their sweets are good. They are clean. And on top of all. The owner and his family are so friendly plus they appreciate you and thank you for coming even by now albasha Resturant and al Basha sweets don't advertising but still they are keeping their service on the top. Much appreciated. Keep it going. And wish you all best God blessing. read more

Best and fresh always, been there everyday for my trip to New Jersey Knafa and nice work team

My husband and I walk in to get some knafeh and we were completely ignored. A few seconds later another guy walks in and he's helped before us. After he finishes helping that guy he finally acknowledges us. The knafeh looked a little burnt so we inquire about the color and the guy assures us that it isn't and that it's just the color of it. I've had a lot of knafeh in my life and that knafeh was definitely burnt. I don't understand how they could sell something like that and ruin their brand. Absolute disappointment in service and product. read more

Loved the baklava here! It's not too sweet which is a huge win for me! Large selection of treats and they also have prettily packaged gift boxes. read more

Nice spot for Middle Eastern sweets. However, I will recommend Nablus, it is somewhat better and the price is lower. But, it is a good spot.

High prices almost 2.00 for 1pc of bakalwa or maamol . I paid 40.00 for 2# 1 hardly filled
