    Probably the best knafeh (Kunafa) in North America ... the flavor and authenticity are unmatched. A staple in the heart of Palestine Way in Paterson NJ.

    Kunafa Super

    If you're craving sweets, then Nablus is your spot. Their goodies are baked daily. We got couple orders of Kunafa.( crunchy buttery dessert from shredded pastry layers and creamy soft milk pudding). I took one bite and that was enough for me. The kunafa were delicious though. All the goodies were nicely displayed and they had plenty of varieties of items. I also grabbed a piece of bakhlava which had pista pasted on it. Can't remember what was the actual name of the dessert. The ambiance is nice and chill. I saw stairs at one corner, so am assuming they have an upstairs sit down area also. Parking can be a hassle as the shop is located on the Main Street. U can find parking in the neighborhoods adjacent

    Looking at the Google reviews I dropped in Nablus sweets .. shop was kinda empty when I went and I didn't know where to order because there were some people on the left line and some on the right . Service was pathetic ! I went right side to order and I was asked to wait . The lady was really grumpy ! As if I know the names of all sweets , she also didn't want to help. Then a group of people come in , starts talking in Arabic and the lady starts helping them !!!! Not knowing Arabic and we feel treated different !!!! I asked the lady what the name of sweet in the pan is - and she starts complaining to her co-assistant in Arabic that I didn't know the name and keeps shaking her head ! How would I know ?? Then another lady told its khunafa and asked to pack that . I would have given 5/5 if not for the service and treatment in the store.. Sweets were really good z baklava was awesome . Khunafa was good too .. was a bit expensive though. Spent about 40$ for a pound of mix sweets and khunafa . Will probably not go this place again just because of the service ! Average experience overall ..

    Knafeh
    Mais S.

    We got the knafe and rice putting and one nut Mamoul. I think this is the best knafe I've had so far in New York and New Jersey area. I didn't really like the rice pudding, everyone make it different and I perfer rose water rice pudding, this one tasted very vanilla. As far as the mamoul, it was the best I've had, I liked how thin the nuts were crushed and blended. Very good service, it was fast. The restaurant was very clean and big, there is also a prayer area upstairs which is nice. I love this place and will forever drive from New York City to Patterson for their knafe and sweets.

    Knafeh Khishneh slice (~$5), Knafeh Na'meh slice (~$5)

    Ordered: Knafeh Khishneh slice (~$5): crunchy pieces of shredded phyllo Knafeh Na'meh slice (~$5): smooth top with ground semolina dough Aya's take: My absolute favorite Middle Eastern dessert! This dessert is filled with soft, sweet cheeses and soaked into a sugary syrup (typically orange blossom water or rose water), then topped with pistachios. Both were delicious and fresh; I actually usually prefer the Knafeh Na'meh (aka the smooth top one) but their Knafeh Kishneh (aka crunchy top) is so much better! My only complaint is my slices were completely different sizes and I would prefer the option to have both square slices. Otherwise, Nablus will not disappoint.

    Kunefe "log" was awesome! Very crispy with an extremely creamy filling!
    Edward K.

    After lunch at a nearby restaurant, I grabbed a small tray of desserts for the rest of the day. The woman working the counter was helpful, as they have a large selection of items I hadn't tried. The pistachio baklava was excellent. I had two different types of cookies which were also quite good. Sweet pieces of a thin cake were delicious. My favorite of all was their kunefe in a log shape. It was crispy with an incredibly creamy filling! I'll be back to try more of their selections.

    FOOD - the sweets are so good! I got them at night around dinner time and it didn't taste super fresh but still tasty. I had the Kanafe (delicious ooey gooey sweet), a sesame flavor sweet (which was my favorite), something covered in coconut shavings (coconut-y and not too sweet), and a few others that were meh but those three I recommend! SERVICE - chaotic. Not friendly just very businessy. I went and it was busy time (around dinner time on a Saturday). They do work fast for taking orders and packing them up which is great. However when multiple employees are helping multiple customers at the same time is gets chaotic. I wanted to see the name of what I was ordering from the tray behind the long counters but I couldn't because there was another customer standing there putting in his order and then right behind him was the order line. COVID - not good. The tables inside for seating are spaces out from each other but the line to order is right next to them which defeats the purpose of spacing out the diners. The line is squished inside the store and up the stairs, people didn't really distance themselves while waiting in line. Also staff could do a better job of wearing the masks properly, above the nose.

    If you have a major sweet tooth, Nablus is the place to satisfy it. The desserts are baked fresh daily and they offer lots of variety. Parking is a bit of a hassle as it is located on a major street.

    I always have to stop at this bakery at least twice every time I'm in Jersey. In love with their sweets and this means a lot because I'm picky! Freshly made Middle Eastern ma'moul to basboosa to baklawa. The ma'moul tastes just as fresh even after two weeks of purchasing it (I didn't finish it in one sitting only because I didn't want to gain 20lbs in one day but if it wasn't for that they would've disappeared. They do an amazing job! Prices? Very reasonable for the amount and quality of sweets that you buy. I don't recommend stopping late at night for the chinefa/knafeh because it won't really taste fresh since it's most likely done much earlier. Customer service? Best customer service by the woman that wears the hijab(scarf)...I believe her name is Sameera. Make sure she's the one to attend you because she's so kind, helpful, and sweet mashaAllah. One other woman attended me but she had an attitude. This is a bakery you MUST try! Let me know how you like it.

    Not quite Nablus level knafa but it's still pretty darn tasty. Go while it's busy and catch a tray fresh out of the oven for the best experience.

    Kunafeh, ridiculously good
    Glenn C.

    This is one of many places in the area serving sweets from around the Middle East but this place is well known for their kunafeh so I stopped here and caught the next bus. The woman here was nice (and surprised I was there.) The kunafeh/kunefe here is ridiculously good and pretty cheap. Nice and hot and stuffed with cheese and not too syrupy sweet. Excellent and easily the best of this style I have had. For people who don't want the more pistachio laden ones and prefer the Middle Eastern variety, I'd go here instead. I'd stop at Antepli otherwise for the Turkish variety though you have to wait as they make theirs to order. The date/pistachio ma'mouls was good as well but nothing can compare to that kunafeh. Good specialty place.

    Can't say enough good things about this place. The kunafa is easily the best we've had in the US and the staff is really amazing.

Everything was delicious, but I'll leave the food writing to the Yelpers with more sophisticated palates than I. (Actually, I take that back--the fresh-baked pita was amazing and I would eat it with/for every meal if I could.) The real reason I wanted to leave a review the service, which went above and beyond. Let me start by saying that Al Basha takeout has a wonderfully efficient order-number-based system for managing the hundreds of orders they get on a daily basis. But if, say, the person who placed the order sent you to pick up the food with the wrong order number, you're going to struggle, and that's not the restaurant's fault. With that prelude and without getting into the details, we'll just say there was a user error issue with my order that led to a mix-up and a very late pick-up. Everyone from the Al Basha staff with whom I interacted could not have handled it any better. They were very apologetic, not because they did anything wrong (to be clear, they didn't), but because they were disappointed our meal hadn't gone well and wanted to fix that. The top priority of the manager with whom I dealt was making sure that my wife--it was Mothers' Day--got the best meal possible, and made sure to send me home with fresh bread and a treat for the moms. It was true hospitality, and greatly appreciated. TLDR version: great food, excellent service, out-of-this-world pita, and make darned sure you have the right order number.

The quzi is lamb shank with rice and comes with either bean or okra soup. I liked the okra soup better since it had some acidity from the tomatoes. The lamb shank was very tender but I wish it came with some sauce or lemon. The rice is a bit sweet due to the rasins. The prices are a bit high but there are not many Iraqi restaurants in the region.
