Tried Kunafa for their viral Dubai Chocolate Kunafa Ice Cream, and it truly lived up to the hype. The combination of fresh strawberries, pistachio paste, and vanilla soft serve was indulgent and perfectly balanced. We also tried the coconut cake and Dubai chocolate brownie, and both were rich, fresh, and delicious. The ambience is simple and more of take away sort. There are several other options as well and it has an open kitchen kind of setting where you can see fresh produce. Service was quick and friendly, even during busy hours. read more

This is the latest wave of trending dessert! Overall was very delicious but felt like the strawberries could've been more fresh and would've tasted better in the cup if they were. There is an overwhelming amount of chocolate, pistachio and kunafa in the cup, which is good from a price standpoint but I think the ratio of strawberries to the filling could've been better to have more strawberries to balance out the sweetness and strength of the filling. read more

Kunafa's - Chocolate covered strawberries with pistachio cream and kunafa - Desserts Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

This location is bright and clean with a large variety of soft or crispy kunafa, baklava, mint tea, Turkish coffee, and their viral Dubai strawberry cups ($5 promos) are super indulgent! I visited for the first time and Christina was lovely and helpful. I bought five items to try first, and returned with my husband a few days later. Reena was friendly, and we purchased a box of eleven items. Our favorites are the pistachio basbousa, coconut basbousa, and almond lotus, hazelnut Nutella and pistachio baklava. Note: Debit or credit card only, no cash payments. read more

If you love Middle Eastern sweets, this spot is a must. It's a take out dessert shop specializing in kunafas, baklava, and rich Dubai chocolate. Service is quick when its not busy. There isn't much seating available so this is more of a take out spot. The pastry case is packed with a wide variety of treats such as baklava, pistachio based pastries, and, of course, their signature kunafas. The kunafa is a perfect savory-sweet bite with that warm, cheesy center and crisp topping. The Dubai chocolate is another standout, loaded with pistachios and decadent chocolate that's hard to stop eating. Everything I've tried here has been top-notch. If you're into Middle Eastern pastries or just have a serious sweet tooth, this place will not disappoint. read more

The service was good, they were patient and informed me of the various flavors. My favorite is the baklava Nutella circles!!! The traditional Baklava is great as well, however the Ferrero Rocher was really good. These are also great gifts! I had the strawberry cups with my daughter, they were decedent!!! We couldn't finish it. read more

Updated review ! After trying the competitor Kunfa King , I'm docking a star as both places can't be four stars when one is clearly better . Plus the most recent pistachio chocolate bar we brought .. there were some sort of shells in the filling. Initially I thought it was egg shells but they were too hard and almost broke my teeth so I came to the conclusion there were pistachios shells left in the filling by accident :/ read more

It's been several months since my last visit to Kanafa's, and I was thrilled to return and see some of their newer creations. It's my birthday and I decided that, rather than a cake, what I really wanted is a box of baklava. If you haven't already visited a Kanafa's location, this place offers joy and variety in every bite! Their signature middle eastern pastry, kanafa, is beautifully prepared and best served warm, so that you can enjoy the stretchy, nabulsi cheese based interior. Aside from kanafa, they offer a tempting array of baklavas and pastries, and it was this that I visited today. Since my absence, Kanafa's has added some newer, innovative choices to the baklava selection. In addition to the more typical walnut, pistachio or cashew baklava's, Kanafa's offers a Nutella baklava, and a Biscoff baklava. My daughter loves nutella, and we all love Biscoff (Lotus) cookies, so we picked up a few pieces of each to add to our box of 8 baklava. The portions are generous, and I usually cut them in half if I'm serving this as a finger-food type dessert. The price is right too: a box of 8 cost $21 - cheaper than a grocery store birthday cake! Kunafa's baklava are so generously filled with nutty stuffing, that I doubt you could buy that quantity of nuts alone for $21. Kanafa's is located in a strip mall opposite Costco in Ajax. Parking is rarely a problem in this spacious lot! Staff is friendly, helpful, and willing to make recommendations and suggestions for your order. For me, my box of Kanafa's baklava is as decadent and pleasurable as a birthday cake, with more variety in the box! read more

As an avid cheese enthusiast, I knew I had to come and try the famous Kunafa! This place was pretty busy when we stopped by, and many of the trays were half empty! Even so, they have a great selection of treats for you to try. Staff was quite friendly as well! For the Kunafa, I think they may have forgotten to add the sugar syrup on ours (we got the first piece of a fresh batch), so it mostly just tasted like wet flavourless cheese, which was super disappointing because I was so hyped for it. Definitely willing to give it another go sometime though! We ended up sampling some baklava as well, specifically their pistachio, nutella, and biscoff baklava. These were absolutely heaven. The light flaky texture along with the gooeyness of the sugar syrup is so good, and the flavours were to die for. Big fan of the baklava, not too sure about the kunafa but I'm optimistic that it was just because of the missing syrup. Otherwise, I'm glad that I stopped by! read more

Trying the Viral Dubai Pistachio Strawberry Chocolate Cup This dessert has been all over social media, so I had to see what the hype was about! The crunchy kunafa paired with the rich pistachio cream was a unique combo, but the strawberries didn't quite hit the mark for me. Texture-wise, it was interesting, and I can see why people love it--but was it mind-blowing? Not for me. Still, if you're a dessert lover, it's worth a try! Personally, I'm still obsessed with their Dark Chocolate Kunafa Bar--so good! Have you tried this yet?

Fairly big dessert store in Ajax. One long table is the only seating. Sheena and Shahed were very friendly and helpful. If you tell them a fact about Palestine you get a free mini dessert (I got pistachio and it was delicious!). We also got a bunch of other desserts and the Dubai chocolate. Everything we had was well proportioned, flavors were harmonious. Sometimes treats like these are overly doused in syrup but this was not the case for the desserts that we had. The Dubai chocolate wasn't overly sweet either. If you enjoy pistachio cream, you're going to love this chocolate as the pistachio flavor was the star. Yes we will be coming back and have already recommended them to friends and coworkers. read more

Small bakery specializing in Knafeh (Arabic: كنافة) is a traditional Arab dessert made with spun pastry dough layered with cheese and soaked in a sweet, sugar-based syrup called attar. There is the classic as well non crunchy semolina version on offer. There is also a number of other dessert options like baklava that comes with varieties like Nutella and speculose . The place is not big enough to linger. There is bar stool seating in the front but that's about it . Mostly take out business here read more

Friendly staff provided me with good detail about their dessert and drink. Their Crispy Kishan was beautifully made. It's best to dine in rather than take out for good crispiness. It's just fantastic. In my opinion, this item is even better than the famous walnut, cashew, and pistachio baklavas. The Turkish coffee is kind of okay. Good coffee crema on top but drinking with coffee ground in the cup is new to me. It's just personal preference and I am sure lots of people will like it. All in all, it's a nice place for great middle eastern desserts/ pastries. Recommended! read more

First time I went into and Kunafa's, it was so overwhelming. I have a massive sweet tooth, and with all the options, I didn't know what to pick. The menu screen had item names but I couldnt pair them to the items that I was looking at. So I got one of each, and it was the best idea! Everything was delicious, some items sweeter than others, depending on what's in it. The assortment varies and new items/flavours are created all the time! I was talking with another patron who recommended their coffee. I don't drink coffee, but he spoke very highly of it. My favourite is the crispy kunafa, and I highly recommend eating it in while it's hot and fresh. As I got one of each to go, I didnt get to eat it until 1 hour later. Having it hot and fresh in store makes such a huge difference in the consistency of the smooth, gooey cheese contrasting the crisp top. Family friendly: My toddler also didn't like the crispy kunafa when it was 1hr cold, but gobbled up the whole thing when we got it fresh at the store the next visit. read more

I had never tried Middle Eastern sweets beyond Baklava until I came here. It was the first time I had Kunafa, and was very impressed by its delicacy! We had - Kunafa Nabulsi Nama (Soft) - Bourma (Kashta Cream Filling) - Kunafa Nabulsi Kishna (Crispy) - Bain Narain - Walnut Baklava - Turkish Bain Narain - Coconut cake My favorite was Kunafa Nabulsi Nama - warm gooey real Nabulsi cheese stretches as I lifted a piece. How can I describe it? Sweet pizza? Nice harmony of sweet and subtle saltiness - I am ready to be addicted to this. :) Bourma & Bain Narain & Turkish Bain Narain had cream called "Kashta cream" - super rich cream. The soft cream is covered with the crispy Baklava (very fine Kataifi noodles or phyllo), making the texture very enjoyable. Yummy! The service was very pleasant and passionate, and the staff was very kind when answering our questions. I will visit again! * Kunafa Nablsi Nama and Kunafa Nabulsi Kishna are best to eat immediately for the Nabulsi cheese's gooeyness. We could not finish them on the day we bought them, but warming them up in microwave just a bit recovered the gooeyness. read more

When I got invited to join a few foodie friends at Kunafa's, I honestly didn't know exactly what to expect. I knew it was Middle Eastern pastries but that was about it. I tried a few different things and I enjoyed every bite! Some were made with cheese and others with a flaky pastry. Pistachios and cashews were used in several offerings and everything was so good! I will definitely be back to try more! read more

I loveeeeee kunafa. This is hands down the best place to get Kunafa. I came here for the Kunafa chocolate bar of course but stayed for all the delicious desserts. The prices are soooo reasonable too. You can tell they make everything so fresh. The service was so fast and the place was clean. They also sell the chocolate bars that are a little damaged but still so good for a little discount . 10/10 they should open more locations read more

Not sweet. No flavor really, doesn't suit my palate. Stagg were rude and speak down to us and our family.

My husband and I were looking for a local spot to grab some late night dessert and came across Kunafa's online. We saw they had rave reviews on Google so we decided to check it out. It was our first time so we ordered a sampling of a few different things. The star of the show was, not surprisingly, the kunafa. We ordered both the crispy (kishna) and soft (nama) versions and they were both delicious. They're served warm so the cheese is still nice and gooey. The topping compliments the cheese so well. If you like the mixture of savoury and sweet then you'll love these. My husband preferred the crispy kunafa but I don't think I could choose between them. My mom had the basbousa (like a coconut pound cake) and enjoyed it. We also ordered the warbat. Phyllo dough filled with cream and cheese and topped with syrup and pistachios. We liked these so much that we ordered a few to go thinking we'd eat them the next day... but we ate them right after we got home. Needless to say, we'll be back again! So happy to have found this gem in the city. read more

Always so good. Really nice people and the baklavas always fresh. I love their pistachio baklava.

Not entirely sure I would get this again soon but it was really good. Has to be reheated in the air fryer or something and a bit sickening to eat, although not super sweet. There was a good deal for buy one get one free. The pastries are savoury and sweet at the same time and the pistachio give it good flavour. Would recommend crunchy over soft! Lasts for a week in the fridge. read more
