    After watching so many videos on Instagram, I had to check out this cute little stand! So happy to report back that I'm so glad I checked out this small business. It's super cool to watch the guys make each Knafeh. The guys making the Knafeh are friendly and the classic Knafeh I tried was delicious. It was cheesy, just the right amount of sweetness, and so buttery and delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some other flavors!

    Dubai Strawberry K'nafeh
    Bianka G.

    So my cousin Introduced me to this delicious sweet cheesy delight. I had a homemade one from a grandma so my first time experience was legit. I saw this stand in the area and knew I had to try them out. So FYI - K'nafeh is a middle eastern dessert - it's shredded phyllo dough (kataifi) with a sweet cheese filling, and soaked in a syrup - usually honey or rose water and can be topped with pistachios. Everything is homemade and they use high quality ingredients. They even make their own Dubai chocolate bars and wow- that chocolate is rich but not overly sweet. What chocolate should taste like. Anyway back to the K'nafeh. The dessert in general is a mix of salty and sweet. If you are a cheese fan, this combination of flavors and textures works. They have traditional K'nafeh and then fun variations of it like biscoff, kinder, blueberry, pistachio, Dubai strawberry, and a flavor of the month. I love the idea of chocolate and cheese so I got the Dubai strawberry one. It was goooood and the juicy strawberries added some freshness and tartness to it. The variations are cool but you really can't go wrong with the traditional one. It's a star all on its own! Update: Bananas foster K'nafeh is amazing! Not too sweet. This one is a must try (flavor of the month item) Open Friday-Sunday for now, usually starting at 5pm until they run out. Let it be known, they are "bringing Middle Eastern sweets to the LA streets"

    Can't get enough of these! Got the strawberry Dubai chocolate knafeh today! The way the pistachio cream and chocolate gleam in that sun! Don't forget the cake! Layered perfection! Go support these guys!

    Dubai chocolate K'nafeh
    Steve S.

    These guys are amazing. Customer service is one of the best in LA and their products speak for themselves. The k'nafeh is out if this world. Today, however, I went with their dubai milk chocolate bar. As it has done many times before, this chocolate bar blew my hair back. The freshness of the pistachio butter and kunafa, along with the perfect non-flop structure of their delicious, thin, milk chocolate outer shell, might be making a case for it being the best chocolate bar in LA. Absolutely fantastic taste. Highly recommend!

    DUBAI CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY KNAFEH

    First time trying knafeh! It was a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors. We went with one Pistachio Knafeh and one Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Knafeh. The dough was crispy and it paired well with the warm cheese. The Pistachio had a nice lil extra crunch, and the Dubai had a more refreshing taste with the fresh strawberries. We enjoyed both flavors! Their food stall is located right in front of a church so there's plenty of parking and space here. Everyone here was also friendly and the service was quick despite there already being a few customers ahead of us. If you're lookin' for a fresh treat, you gotta try Korner Knafeh!

    Bought the Ferraro Rocher strawberry Dubai strawberry cup and the dark chocolate Dubai bar. Total was about $44. The cup was pretty good and wasn't too sweet (which is a compliment btw). Owner and workers were friendly and the spot is on the sidewalk of Reseda and Plummer. Just a heads up, the pharmacy parking lot is blocked off so depending on the time you go, you'd have to park on the street.

    I've had Korner K'nafeh saved for a while now, and after seeing them again on TikTok last week, we finally went and I'm so glad we did. I've been to the Middle East every year for the last seven years, and kunafa has always been one of my favorite desserts. It was one of the few things I could never find properly here in LA. I've craved its crunchiness and sweetness so many times, and it was honestly disheartening not having access to good kunafa while I was here. That's why it's so exciting to see LA (and social media in general) becoming more aware of and welcoming toward Middle Eastern desserts. You'd usually have to drive all the way to OC or take a chance somewhere in Sawtelle or West LA. And even then, good kunafa wasn't guaranteed. So finding Korner K'nafeh felt really promising, and it truly did not disappoint. We ordered the Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Kunafa and the Pistachio Paradise. The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Kunafa was super good with fresh sliced strawberries, chocolate, and pistachio on a bed of traditional kunafa. The kunafa itself had classic, straightforward flavors. It was golden brown, super crispy on the outside, and had just the right amount of stretchy cheese. My partner, who tried kunafa for the first time a few months ago and didn't love how oily it was, really enjoyed this version. It felt lighter and more balanced but still rich and decadent. My personal favorite was the Pistachio Paradise. The pistachio cream/butter they use is amazing: rich, nutty, and perfectly sweet. There were lots of pistachio pieces on top, and even with all that cream, the kunafa stayed crispy with a super satisfying crunch. It was buttery without being greasy, and every bite was delicious. There were a few people ahead of us when we got there, but it only took about 10 minutes for our order to be ready. There are a couple of small seats outside, but it's right on the street and shared with a nearby shawarma place. It's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot. I'd recommend taking it home or somewhere else to really enjoy it, since there isn't much space to sit and eat there comfortably. 10/10, without a doubt. We're already planning to go back in the next few days. The only downside is that they're only open Thursday through the weekend, but it's still pretty accessible. I'm just so happy we finally have great kunafa in LA. It took a while to get here, but it was worth the wait.

    Amazing knafeh and even better service! Musa was incredibly welcoming and passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain the different knafeh flavors and helped us pick the perfect one. You can really tell he cares about quality and customer experience. The knafeh was fresh, perfectly crispy, and balanced--not overly sweet. Portions were generous and everything was made with care. On top of that, the service was fast and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting Musa--you won't be disappointed!

    Omgsh came across this place on Yelp and had to try it! They open at 7pm so my husband and I drove here after eating dinner and had their pistachio k'nafeh. It was really good! Fresh and warm - made to order. We also ordered the Dubai chocolate bar, the large was $25. They had a small one for $8 but you get more for the $25 one. They have it in milk chocolate, white and dark! The service was good, everyone is so friendly! They have a pop up and so the parking is street parking only, lots of spots though, very walkable.

    Dubai knaffee, soo good!

    Yummm!!! The best spot for a sweet treat! Gooey and crunchy and delicious! Moe and his team are awesome. Definitely coming back for more knaffee!

    Traditional soft
    Ali Q.

    The team at Korner Knafeh really knows how to make proper, traditional knafeh. I usually get the traditional soft knafeh, and it's easily some of the best I've had. The customer service is great, and while delivery is available and convenient, I always recommend having it fresh and hot if you can. They've truly gotten it right. This is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving knafeh, which is surprisingly hard to find done well in LA.

    Me and Robert Lowkey
    Robert S.

    Robert has the same name as he so he's very cool. Also the Knafeh is pretty good even after a day. Easily reheatable and enjoyable

    This place has been around forever but this was my first time trying it and I was not disappointed…read more I stopped by for dinner with my parents who have been coming here for over 30 years. Kinda bummed they didn't bring me sooner! It is by no means a fancy restaurant but the food is incredible. Persian restaurants are known for their generous portions but man, this place really gives you a lot. Everything was extremely flavorful, tender, and moist. Highly recommend if you're looking for some bomb Persian food!

    Shamshiri, meaning sword or a type of Persian black tea, is in a typical, unassuming Socal…read morestripmall. Nothing fancy and down to earth as is the food which takes its cues from the standard Persian repertoire, but done through a humble homemade filter. The portions are extremely large here to show hospitality. You will never leave hungry here. There is more than enough to take home for another lunch to save from cooking another meal. 0) On the House: Large Plate of salad of crisp, chilled iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber with a nondescript creamy, tart dressing. Pita bread basket. 1) Tahdig: Almost all rice based cultures covet the crispy, crunchy rice found at the bottom of the flamed cooking pot. Basically, to recreate this crunchy rice on a large scale, Tahdig is now fried Basmati rice. You can opt to order thickened stews to put on top of the Tadig. I ordered two that came in good sized bowls for 50 cents each...Such a deal!!! 1a) Fesenjan: A mostly sweet and bit sour thickened stew of mostly pomegranate syrup, ground walnuts, often chicken. Pomegranate symbolizes fertility, rebirth and life in Persian culture, 1b) Ghormeh Sabzi: Less viscous stew made from Sabzi which is any kind of green vegetables but, in this case, spinach, kidney beans, dried limes, and bit of beef. 2) Joojeh Kabab: Cut up pieces of bone in Cornish Game Hen seemingly marinated in yogurt so even the usually dry breast meat is moist, firm yet soft. Bravo! I just wish that some garlic, thyme, oregano, Za'atar, etc. would also have been mixed into the marinade for more complex flavours. Dry, nutty Basmati rice is the default, but I wanted to try their Shirin Polo which is a sweet, orange flavoured Basmati with candied orange zest, and generous amount of Pistachio nuts. I thought it would have been analogous to Canard à l'Orange or French Orange Duck. In their attempt to show home style generosity, the sweet, orange flavour was amped up to the point it became almost a dessert. A more subtle Shirin Polo would have made it a more sophisticated dish. Iranian Black Iced Tea: A richer, slightly stronger tasting tea than the standard wussy Lipton style orange pekoe tea. What lacked in awareness of the higher Persian cuisine, 3+ stars, was made up for by the inexpensive prices and the sheer volume of acceptable food presented. Service is fast, efficient if not particularly warm and personable. 4- stars PS Come for lunch when many of the items are discounted.

    We were attending an event at the bookstore next store so it was a no-brainer to give Pi on Sunset…read morea try. Mediterranean food is pretty consistent (ie the same) for my tastes wherever I get it so I was pleasantly surprised by a few elements of Pi. The pies, for example...I tried the Zaatar pie...honestly it was not much more then a thick, airy, freshly made pita with Zataar and olive oil on it...but it's sometimes the simplest things which delight. The Zaatar pie delighted. I tried the Lebanese red wine (I mean, when in a Lebanese restaurant, why not?) And it stood up to any red I'd had anywhere else. The Tabouleh (one of my Mediterranean standards) was fresh made, filling, and a nice companion to the heavier Zaatar pie. It was awfully nice, and unexpected, to get complimentary baklava at the end of the meal...2 generous sized pieces which were pretty indulgent and eliminated the need to get (and pay for) dessert there or anywhere else. Service was lovely...the manager or owner took care of us and made us feel he was truly grateful that we were there. It's also a hookah spot...so if you're not into that vibe or smoke of any kind, (I'm not really) you'll definitely smell that anywhere you are in the restaurant, even if you're not seated next to those using hookahs. If you've got a hankering for Mediterranean...especially a place that has some unique things not at other Mediterranean spots, definitely give Pi on Sunset a shot.

The fries were even worse, they tasted stale, like they were at least a day or two old, and had that chewy, reheated texture instead of being crispy.

First thing you do when you sit in a car? Take a few bites of the fries, and let me tell you that shit got stuck in my throat from how dry and nasty it was absolutely no SALT on any of the sandwiches and or fries... We all know salt makes everything more delicious and we had none of it. Me and 2 of my guests all had complaints on how unsalted and bland the food was. Also with a gyro usually you need a garlic sauce aka white sauce for my New Yorkers, they tried to charge me $5.90 for a SMALL plastic side of garlic sauce for my $20 sandwich. Save your money head over to Pita Pocket or any other gyro spots cuz this ain't it. It's really not hard to get a gyro down. Trader Joes also has a box of gyro meat you can buy make at home and I did once and it was WAYYYY better then this place lol.

The falafel wasn't bad actually, they weren't dry which is so common with falafel. They're pretty large too which is nice. The rest of the meal was sort of ehh, plain iceberg lettuce, plain rice. The mushrooms were cold, I wish they served them hot and found that surprising. And the eggplant was ok. The portion was filling and it was an ok meal overall.
