Dearborn local told me that Masri is best for Kanafe. So I came here for kanafe. It was my first time having kanafe, but I could tell it was very high quality food. The cheese was extra stringy. The pasty on top wasn't too syrupy but sweet enough to enjoy. The shop atmosphere seems to be improving but I didn't get a comfortable vibe while eating my kanafe. I guess my rating is simply relative to Shatila's establishment. Kanafe at Masri trumps Shatila however, according to multiple sources. I have to confer after seeing how unappetizing it looked at Shatila. read more

I stopped in here yesterday as it was highly recommended by a co worker. I got a fresh kunafa tray and a mixed sweets tray. When I got into it last night it was just heaven in your mouth. Fresh is key and this place was fresh yum. What a great treat. read more

Masri Sweets - Bakeries Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

If you try anything from here you must try the Kanafeh (yes it is spelled multiple ways this is the way I choose to spell it) If you get lucky like we did the last time we were here, you will get a freshly made right out of the oven melt in your mouth gooeyness heaven! Not too keen on their other deserts personally I feel there are other places that do a better job. They moved to a nicer location, upgrade for sure. I would just come here for the Kanafeh alone, it's that good. read more

Man, I had the most horrible knafa ever, the cheese was all curdled, I called to ask them if I could exchange and they argued with me that I was wrong , I won't be going back ever , rude read more

OMG!! These are some of the best sweets/desserts I think I've ever had! One of my analysts walked into my office this afternoon and gave me a box of assorted sweets she ordered as a "thank you." She's of Lebanese descent and said these are as good as the sweets her grandmother makes. I've not had Lebanese desserts before, but these are GOOD! You can taste the butter in EVERY BITE! Some type of syrup (honey??), nuts, butter and puffed pastry...a little piece of heaven right here in Boston ;o) read more

the worst tasting baklava ever!! I ordered from this place years ago and didn't like it. I decided to give it one more chance this month :( that was a bad idea!! I will NEVER order from here again, sorry guys but you can't sell stuff like this, check out other places, you are the worst :( read more

Not what I expected....based on all of the previous reviews. It's okay baklava- nothing special.

I have been her in a while. I just noticed they moved to nicer location just down the street. I use to bring my business partners here for meetings and fresh pastries. They all enjoy the variety of offerings. Price is very affordable, I always buy to go gifts from here. Great gifts! read more

My wife and I have an ongoing project to find the best bakery in Dearborn, and well into it, Masri is our favorite! The flavors of the standard backlava are amazing. They also have some unique offerings, such as kanefa, which is a fried cheese pastry topped with sweet syrup and pistachios. The service is incredibly helpful and friendly, with staff being quite generous with samples. We highly recommend this place! read more

Masri Sweets - Bakeries Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

See all

The management is greedy. Overpriced and ripping people off No idea how they made it 4 stars with that management attitude when they ate so rude. Kunafa? Well... Where to start my friend. Portion size or the price? Tiny Thin pc for $5.00 Coffe? Well... their coffe must be the best in town because costs more then Tim Hortons, but the Taste!?Yes, the taste... you know what, Just Do Not Get it Called and complaint to the manager on the portion size. The guy was rude, with an attitude and told me: Next time get 2 pcs for $10 if 1 pc is not enough for you etc... Most of 4-5 star reviews I guess are from ppl out of dearborn and thinking this is the only place to get some middle-astern sweets. Well dear customer, its not the only place. Go to other sweet shops and have a better service, and more savings for your wallet Do not advice anyone to visit this place read more

Worst place ever from now on I'm never coming here again not my first time buying znood el sit after buying it and going back to my home and obviously it's cold out and it shouldn't get bad and it tasted sour and once I saw the other side it was green I contacted the manager he tells me it's only good for a half hour lol just so he won't refund me or give me a different one I told him it's not my first time buying it and I use to even buy it during the summer time and travel up to 8 hours and it still was good sadly this was my last experience with them read more

I came here with few friend, one of them recommend it. And he was right, it is a great place. We tried different sweets, and all were great. The service is great as well. When we came, it was late, and the place was still open. I will come again to enjoy the delicious goodies. read more

Me and the family bought some chocolate "fun size" bars and we found maggots in them . So disgusting

No star rating they need better customer service i walked into this place made a order waited patiently for a new batch of sweets they they disregarded me like I wasn't a paying customer read more

Went back to masri since our last visit was delicious and it definitely did not disappoint. Loved it even more the second time around and we will most definitely be coming back whenever we are passing through Detroit. read more

Masri Sweets - Knafeh, baklava and katayief - Bakeries Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Best baklava, hands down a million times better than Shatila! Also their cakes. Not always the prettiest but so delicious. My friend had her wedding cake made by them and it was the best wedding cake I have ever had. I once ordered a cake and they made the ugliest thing ever so will never do custom cakes but just dropping in to pick up any flavor and they are delicious. Love this place! read more

Very good kanafa and cakes but the basboosa is a no way I make it at home 150% better. Its very thin and hard.

I wanted to try some of the best middle eastern desserts and I knew Dearborn would be the place. I researched the bakeries and decided to try this one based on many of the reviews which cited that this one, though not as well known, had superior quality and service. I selected a small variety of items to send to my family and them selected some for me to enjoy in real-time. I was pleasantly surprised by the extra level of service and kindness that included a small selection of samples and the best part was a sample of Znood which was given to me while it was still hot. This was my favorite of the delicacies and consequently I ordered some to transport back to my family. They were kind enough to package my treats in a manner that hopefully will survive my plane trip. If you get a chance, and want the best, this place will not disappoint! read more

Amazing place to have any middle eastern sweets of ur choice. They always end up giving a complimentary sweet !

The very best of the best. Without doubt one of the Best Kunafa places in the states. They also have a variety of other famous Arabic sweets. I only tried Kunafa and it was so delicious. If you want to try authentic middle eastern kunafa, this is as accurate as it gets. read more

Just received a huge tray of assorted pastries as a gift. Despite being shipped across the country, everything arrived in excellent condition. Kudos on the packaging. On the first morning, we tasted our way across the entire assortment and were delighted by the delicate textures and the freshness of the ingredients. Short of making any of these myself, these are the best middle eastern sweets I've had in the U.S. Do not hesitate to order any of the items from the website no matter where you live. Next time I'm in Dearborn, I will make point of stopping by to try some of the treats warm from the oven. read more

I took a large tray of Kanafee as a gift to a friend. Fortunately another friend brought a tray from LeBon sweets. My gift was embarrassing when opened next to the other tray. The Masrie tray had 1/3 the cheese and less then 1/4 inch of topping. The price was the same for the 2 trays. I feel robbed and cheated besides the Masrie knafee tasted less then mediocre.. My host chose to throw it in the garbage. read more

Excellence all the way! Delicious Knafe with authentic Nablus style plus all others- we had the MadlooA and it was so yummy, I shared it with my daughter we also ordered more items to go! Their customer service is above and beyond. It's one of my favorites in Michigan when in town! read more

Very disrespectful young children working in the Masri Sweets, Dearborn, MI location. I wanted to order a full tray of kunafa and they took my order. I came back 15 minutes later and they asked if they can help me and I told them I placed an order already. Well, they never started on my order. There are many options for sweets and if you like to give your business to reasonable people you may want to avoid this location. Unfortunate for the owner but there is a burden of responsibility and the owner should take the moral steps in talking to his current staff. The time was 10:30 pm, 11/13/2020! Thank you but never giving another dollar towards this establishment. And I have a big family in Dearborn as well. They too will give their business elsewhere. read more

OMG.... Absolutely the best baklava! Fresh true flavors, great texture, wow! Customer service was very friendly, they have AC and a nice seating area. The cake slices and malban also fresh and excellent flavors. From now on, my go to place for Arabic baked goods and cake. read more

This place is a must try if you're in the dearborn area best sweets in town and i don't even like sweets try the knafeh its my all time favourite!!! Craving some yummm read more

Girls who work there are very polite. Place is very clean.. sometimes the sweets are not always fresh around 3-4 pm

If you like kanafeh or would like to taste this wonderful Mideastern sweet made with buttery shredded phyllo and gooey cheese, you need to go to this place. Shatila is another excellent shop in Dearborn to get sweets, but Masri's knafeh is better, and here is why: -- stringier and more gooey cheese, as it should be. The owners are from Nablus so maybe they know where to get the authentic Nabulsi cheese -- "Kishna" (rough) kanafeh has its phyllo dough finely shredded, packed tightly, and cooked to a beautiful crustiness. They don't offer individual serving, buy a small tray for $15. The "naime" (fine) version has a layer of semolina crust instead of the shredded phyllo, very good as well and you can try a piece or even half a piece. Highly recommended. -- Masri uses a round pan for making and keeping warm the kanafeh, not a big square pan as in Shatila. Just a personal preference, as my memory of eating in the best kanafeh shops in Jordan or Turkey (yes, there is a Turkish version) are all associated with round pans being turned and flipped over a hot stove in creation of these dreamy sweets Lots of other sweets to choose from, baklava, mammoul cookies with different fillings, on and on. Note some stuff are only available during Ramadan and a few other festivals. Decor and seating is basic; this is more of a take-out place although there are half a dozen tables for in-store dining. read more

We don't live in Jerusalem or Beirut , so I don't expect for them to be on par with sweet shops in Lebanon . But this place for the price is the best Arabic sweets place in Michigan . The service is very good too . It's more organized than the other Arabic sweet places . And they seem to value their customers . Get the baklava and the kanafe, especially the Nablus style one is very nice . read more

My eternal and supreme love for Kunafah brought me here via word of mouth. I pigged out at Al Ameer earlier and asked for Kunafah. The lady serving us suggested Al Masri without a doubt, and said it's even better than Shatilla. Although I doubted that, cause I know Shatilla rocks, but I came here to Masri in my quest for trying out something new. It was good, but nothing like Shatilla though... read more

al-Masri doesn't look like much from the outside, and the inside interior is equally drab, but the sweets are good. I come here primarily for one thing - fresh, hot, kunafa [a pastry of dough, cheese, pistacios, and syrup - see video here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6845312927632616747]. In addition, I always get a box of take out sweets like bakhlava, birds nests, honey balls and more. A great stop on the way to or from Cedarland. read more

We were told not to miss Masri Sweets! I'm glad we listened! The staff was so friendly and patient with us- the array of sweets was dizzying but we saw people gathered at the end of the counter and inquired what they were ordering- we were told kunafa an amazing cheese dessert. We got two varieties and I am now in love. This dessert may be the most delicious thing in Dearborn if not all of Michigan. read more

I usually stop by here to take my favorite aunt their sweets to her house when I visit. This is her go to place for the "mshabak." And I don't know how to explain it in English lol. All I know is that it's fried, and really sweet. That's maybe what's so good about it. Also my parents request the kunafah from there as well. I must say, since I'm not big on sweets, the kunafah is just right and made to perfection. Just like back home and maybe better. read more

kanafeh, baklava and other pastries from heaven, royal service. Arrived with a small group who wanted to introduce me to kanafeh (a soft cheese baked in a very light pastry crust and served with a good bit of sweet syrup), though I couldn't resist ordering a plate of baklava and "bird's nests" for myself. Though I didn't quite care for the kanafeh (for the same reason I don't eat cheesecake, I find sweet and cheese an unpalatable combination of flavors), I couldn't stop singing the praises of the delicate sweet desserts I was gorging on. A woman working the counter patiently walked me through a series of desserts I didn't recognize, explaining with encyclopedic depth the flavor, texture, and ingredient differences between them. Wise and friendly is a pretty winsome marketing strategy. I left with a to-go box of more goodies. Can't wait to return for more. Highly recommended. read more

We stopped in on a quick Dearborn driving tour for an out of town guest. And we tried about 15 items, and everything was tasty and fresh. The young lady requested that we wait for one of the items so that she could let us have it fresh. Ask for a taste if you are unsure, they will oblige. read more

For years a colleague in Dallas has sent us Baklava for the holidays. (We've never figured out why he sends it, but we are beyond appreciative.) It's a wonderful tradition and we can't find another Baklava comparable. Have never been to Dearborn or for that matter, Michigan, but if we ever are near we'll stop by. Truly wonderful. read more

Kanafeh was okay. Slightly burnt the bottom of our tray. The kanafeh bread was terrible tho. It was old.

I love the cheese kunafah, also what's call zniud alset

I must say that this is the best place in North America for Middle Eastern delicacies. I go there quite often and also take the Kanafe and cakes for my family in Grand Rapids . read more

Was last here about 4 years ago, and remember the kunafah being much better. It was ok this time - nice and gooey, but something was missing. On the plus side, they have a selection of sugar-free sweets. Think I'll go back for kunafah instead to Shatila, which definitely has a larger selection and is nicer on the inside than Masri sweets. read more
