Located in a strip mall, this place gets busy fast! But service is pretty quick too. It can be a bit confusing as to where to order and things don't have names so you may have to ask for help for the first time. It's a very much order and takeout place - not really anywhere to sit and eat which is fine. We got the knafeh - 2 slices. They make the knafeh in giant sheets and cut out squares per piece. The top is decently crispy and crunchy but I felt a bit too thin of a layer. The stretchy and gooey cheese underneath has a slight hint of sweetness and counters the crunchy sweet phyllo dough. We also tried the walnut baklava which had pretty good walnut flavor. The pastry was super light but had a nice sticky honey in between. The pistachio baklava had similar pastry but I felt like it wasn't very strong pistachio flavor. Overall, price is really good for what you get. Definitely a good place to get a fairly unique dessert to go. read more

Was in the Scarborough area and this place is one of my lists to try. They serve kunafas which are Arab desserts with filo and cheese. The place is very busy with lineups all the time. I queued and ordered different kinds of kunafas specially them pistachio flavour ones. The highlight was the crispy cheese kunafa that I had to wait for extra 5 minutes for the new batch cuz they sold out. Overall, this place is worth the hype and visiting. read more

I don't know how many times I've been to Kunafas, but every time I go, the kunafa is always 10/10! I never dine in because the interior is quite small, but even if I take it home and warm it in the oven, it always comes out very fresh. To everyone debating whether they should go, it should be an obvious answer! Their entire selection is amazing and fresh, and the service is impeccable. Everyone is so kind and they help you choose which one you want if you are unsure. read more

Whenever I'm in Scarborough, I have to make a visit to this place. It is hands down the BEST kunafa you will have anywhere in Canada, and as close to the real thing from Palestine as you can get. They have tons of baclava, sweet treats, chocolates and drinks but I'm a little limited on what I can have as I have a nut allergy. Usually, I'm left looking at shop windows at pistachio laden kunafa, but kunafas always accommodates for me and take out a fresh piece before it's doused in pistachios and pack in a separate box. They go above and beyond and always include some extra syrup because my sweet tooth is never satisfied. The cheese pull is WILD, and the crispy topping is *chef's kiss*. Love supporting a pro Palestinian business and I love the artwork around the store too. Always coming here again and again. Kunafas, you have a customer for life. read more

This place has the most delicious treats and everything is always super fresh. They have so many customers all the time but things move quick and so they are constantly making something fresh. The service is very friendly. I've tried almost everything here it's all great. My favourite is their Nutella baklava. Make sure to grab a Dubai chocolate bar or two to take home they're very cheap here! read more

So delicious, as someone with a sweet tooth baklavas are one of my favourite sweets. Picked up a crispy kunafa, pistachio baklava, Biscoff baklava, and dark chocolate pistachio bar. All were delicious. The Biscoff one is unique but it was sweeter than the pistachio one. Would have preferred it without or less of the Biscoff spread as it made it extra sweet. read more

If you ever wonder why Egypt has the world's highest prevalence of diabetes, look no further than Egyptian desserts. If you try a slice of knafeh once it's difficult not to come back for more. The sweet cheesy treat is your ultimate comfort food. Kunafa's is one of only a few places in the GTA to make this authentic dish (in addition to a broad assortment of baklava). Everything is made fresh in-house. The bakery is primarily geared towards takeout orders, though there is a few bar stools along the wall if you want to eat your treats on the spot. The service is always friendly and respectful. I would recommend to also grab a Turkish coffee. Otherwise you are assured a carb-induced nap. read more

Amazing spot for kunafa! It seems like they may have increased their prices a bit (was $6 per slice when I visited yesterday and I remember it being cheaper...anyways). This week they had chocolate qatayef which was amazing! Small store with limited seating, it's more of a takeout spot. Service is always prompt. read more

We ordered off Uber eats and had the Biscoff cake and Dubai chocolate. We can't stop talking about it. It was so good.!

The place is a very busy place, food is very good, there's a 20min wait time for cups but it's worth the wait. It's just hard to find a parking. Ambiance just fine, just a normal shop as the place is a bit small for a large number of customers. Hope they will have another shop in scarborough so people can have their delicious kunafas quick and easy. read more

One of the best desserts hand down, and the owner was so nice even gave us a massive sample, both kunafa are made with cheese, all I can say is wow, what I appreciate about this dessert it is not sweet at all and it melts in your mouth, I could eat this all day, honestly it's such a unique dessert, I'm gonna come here again my wife liked it so much she said she wants to come here tommorow, I wonder how they make this, they have other desserts, majority of them have cheese in it which I love, hands down one of the best places I ever tried read more

It is my first time to eat Kunafas product, the strawberry with chocolate is very good, thank you Kunafas see you again next time

100/100 Simply the BEST desserts in town. Great service. Tasty and freshly made traditional Kunafa, Baklava, Sahlab, and other sweet treats are available the whole day at the Scarborough & Ajax location. I tasted both soft & crispy flavors Kunafa's and was simply addicted to the creamy crunchy flavors. Now vegan options are available. Kunafa also serves family and party trays. It seems like a bit pricey but definitely at least taste it once in a lifetime. Should you have allergies with nuts, please inquire with them in advance. read more

Located in Scarborough this place as the name suggests, sells amazing Kunafas. I tried their Baklava, Znoud el Sit, soft Kunafa and Crispy Kunafa. The soft Kunafa is recommended to try along with the Baklava, however, the crispy Kunafa was more on the dry side. Znoud el sit had yummy cheese filled inside which enhanced the deliciousness of this middle eastern sweet treat. Loved their customer service as well! read more

Pop in and grab kind of a place. They have very limited seating. Kunafa, if you know you know! Who doesnt love a cheesy sweet dish. Kunafa (crispy)- this is my favorite. I personally like the crispness. I wouldn't suggest eating this later as the crispy topping becomes stale. They always include extra syrup on the side but I have never had the desire as it's already sweet enough. read more

Honestly only came here for the viral Dubai Chocolate so I haven't tried anything else. The service was great even though they were extremely busy. The chocolate was only $4.99 with no tax. Didn't like it at first but after trying it again the next day, it was really good. It had a Kit-Kat texture but I would say a bit more crunchy and the pistachio paste was very very sweet. read more

Kunafa's is so very delicious. The Yelp fam points us towards the right direction once again, thank you! Free parking is available but it can be difficult to find a spot. It's located in a plaza. Little seating is available. It's more of a grab and go type place. They have a variety of Kunafa and other delicacies. The employee was so sweet, helpful, patient, and friendly. She wrapped up our goodies neatly. They have a club card, once you buy 10 pieces, you get 1 free. Everything we tried was amazing. The consistency and flavors were on point. So fresh. My taste buds were jumping for joy. I wish we had one here in VA! read more

Truthfully I have not had much exposure to this type of dessert but was pleasantly surprised by this new experience. I came on a weekday for a late dessert and the owner (?) was friendly and helpful. He recommended the crispy kunafa for my first try and it was the perfect choice. The kunafa is served slightly warm, so the cheesy layer is still melted and soft. The crispy toppings on the top brings a great difference in texture and flavor. I really liked it because it was a balance of sweet and savory, and soft and crunchy. They have a small bar of seating across the front window, so it is a good place to come for a quick snack or for takeout home. read more

Kunafa's - Crispy Kunafa. A very healthy portion size!! - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I should have written this review about 6 months ago, when I tried Kunafa's . I passed through Scarborough on a trip to the West End of the GTA, and I stopped and bought some kunafa nabulsi. My mom, daughter and I all loved its creamy, cheesy crunch (we ordered the crunchy rather than soft). Sweet, but not cloying, this kunafa was a wonderful dessert to have along with coffee at the end of a light supper. If you haven't tried kunafa yet, I suggest that you consider it, particularly if you are a fan of creamy, cheesy desserts (like creme brulee or cheesecake). read more

Went here on vacation food was cold and terrible dont recommend service was mediocre and pretty overpriced

Amazing mouth watering middle eastern pastries - if you by 6 single serving pastries, you don't pay tax. My sister and I also pre-ordered a 1kg tray family size kunafa nabulsi crispy and split it. So divine. Our mom had an appt so we took advantage of being in Scarborough & Kunafa's was one of our stops while we waited for my mom. The young lady greeted us & was very sweet & friendly. We waited for our tray being made so we also got single pastries & she recommended to get 6. Please visit & support Kunafa's. read more

Mmm craving knafeh so I'm typing this now even though it's a belated post from my visit a few months back. First time trying it and just like the other reviewer said, it's hard not to come back for more. Although I wasn't sure about the concept of cheese in a dessert, those tiktok vids got me droollinggg! Happy to report those vids met my expectations :)) Got the crunchy and soft knafeh; both delicious but I ended up liking the soft one more. The portions are huge! I wish I could finish the whole thing in one go but ugh stomach limits.. can't wait to get some again this week!! read more

Mixed feelings here. First, they have about 6-7 different options of cheese, cream, &/or baklava. We opted to get 2 pieces to-go, 1 - cheese, 1 - "mostly cream". I didn't see the man weigh anything and it was $9/2 pieces. Owner seemed very friendly and gave us a stamp on a loyalty card. Apparently, they only give 1 stamp per CHEESE piece since that's their specialty. When I opened the container in the car, the piece of kunafa, with soft top, was a soppy, syrupy, greasy mess. It was falling apart. All the kunafa that I've had has been drier, never greasy. And despite being their "specialty", we found the cream piece tastier! There are soo many baklava places in the area, it may be difficult to compete especially with larger places. read more

After hearing about this place, we ordered to pieces today through a delivery provider The order was picked up very quickly by the driver because it's already premade and we received the order within 20 minutes We ordered two pieces of the Kashra and cheese kunafa,, called Ben Naren First of all, the pieces we're not equal in size, one of them is noticeably smaller than the other however they are both the same price Second thing, it did not look, or taste fresh And looked like a product from the day before or more Third, CERT, it was not warm or at least slightly warm, dealing with a mix of cheese and Kashta, It tastes very bad if it's not warmed up to the right temperature Fourth, it does not come with any extra syrup or pistachio like you normally get anywhere else Taste wise, it wasn't that great for someone who eats kunafa on regular basis and have tried tons of other places in the city and across North America. It was way too heavy and greasy, you simply taste the sugar not the flavour And finally, I paid $17 including delivery for the two tiny pieces that you see in these pictures, in my opinion this is nothing but a rip off!! Go elsewhere read more

It's usually decently busy as they also use good courier services so there's always people in and out. The owner (Diego Maradona haircut) is great! Provides excellent service! The rest of the staff no so much. They could learn a thing or two from him. There is parking but it's limited and gets very full on evenings and weekends. Their desserts are good but they use WAYYYY to much oil/butter. Their prices are good too given the pieces are decently sized. read more

This place is totally out of the way for me so I made a special birthday trip from Willowdale to try it. It took about 4 hours on the TTC to go there, spend 5 minutes ordering off the limited menu, and come back home to eat. Worth it. I had the crispy knafeh and it was marvelous. I've had the version at Paramount and it was enough to make me want to seek out something better, and this was it. This is probably as close to the real thing as you'll get without making it yourself. The textures are perfect, it's sweet with the syrup but would probably be much more mild without, and the cheese is just beautiful. I also got two of the bourmas, which were sort of like mini knafeh rolls. They were quite crunchy and I enjoyed the shredded phyllo. I could probably eat five of these without coming up for air. A++++. read more

A good selection of different kunafas with prompt service and reasonable prices. The kunafa tastes great and looks good too. I have two complaints. One is seating. There isn't much space so this isn't a place to sit down with your friends, catch up and comfortably enjoy the desserts for too long. While there, we sat but left quick so other people could sit. But they're working well with the space that they have. My second complaint is that there aren't more hot drink options. They only serve coffee, tea and Turkish coffee. It may be out of the Arab theme but some espresso drinks would pair well with the sweet and syrupy kunafa. Anyway, the kunafa's good and my complaints are kinda petty so 5 stars! read more

My husband is from Dubai and after moving here after so many years there, he was trying kunafa from everywhere but never found anything close to it. I had tried their kunafa in July 2018 summer at the Halal Food Festival and called him there and we FELL IN LOVE! it was amazing! Soft gooey cheese, that is stringy and perfect. A crunchy vermicelli top, baked just right. Doused in the sweet syrupy goodness that completes it! DELICIOUS Unfortunately i hadn't been able to drive all the way from milton to Scarborough since then but just 2 days ago i decided enough is enough! I have been badgering my husband for MONTHS and i needed to go there and have kunafa! So we set out at night hoping to get there before they closed at 12.30am. But unfortunately i arrived just at 12.32. . And he stood there and shut the lights. I quickly opened the door and asked if they were closing and he said yes. And my HEART SANK! BUT he was kind enough to wait an extra 10 mins and give me a kunafa family tray despite the fact i came late. And i can honestly tell you: the drive was totally worth it! Same as i remembered it. And so delicious! I was so happy and have been eating kunafa for the last 2 days and sparingly so as not to finish it too quickly lol read more

After a trip to the Middle East about 15 years ago, I became obsessed with the Arabic dessert kanafeh. I ate it almost every day during that trip and I never, ever got sick of it. In the years since, I've tried to find somewhere in the Toronto area that makes this delectable dessert just as well, but I've always come up empty. And while Kunafa's makes it better than anywhere else in the city, it's still unable to approach the sublime greatness of the real thing. I'll admit the version offered at Kunafa's does come pretty close, though. The flavors are definitely right on point and the concoction certainly tasted quite fresh. But where it falls short is in the cheese used. The kanafeh I ate in the Middle East was always so creamy and smooth, while the versions I've tried here, including this one, the cheese is always one big clump you kind of have to saw through. I have no idea why it's so difficult to perfect this one aspect of the dessert and I have my doubts that any place in the city will be able to overcome this obstacle. Still, Kunafa's version is definitely worth trying, especially for those unfamiliar with this venerable dessert. read more

Very clean and modern design. Kunafa's does a great job at showcasing middle eastern desserts. The owners are very nice and catering, we ordered a classic Kunafa and ate it all before leaving the store. It was delicious. I just wish it was a little warmer but honestly that wasn't a big concern. I'll be back to enjoy their other dessert options for sure read more

Very excited to visit your store after reading all the great reviews on quality and service. Drove from Richmond Hill to visit today. Entered and your server (a young woman) was standing watching a gentleman unwind a roll of paper. She neither looked up or acknowledged me. Waited for about 2 minutes, which feels like eternity when you are waiting. I asked her if I should come back and she replied that she was dealing with her delivery person. ...watching him unrolling paper. Very surly...not rude but not welcoming. It takes 2 seconds to greet a customer, and say "I'll be right with you". Left...and will never visit again. read more
