Kanafeh with Qushta

Our Kanafeh with Qushta celebrates one of the Middle East's most beloved desserts in its most authentic and luxurious form. We begin with a base of shredded kataifi pastry, carefully layered and baked until it achieves the perfect golden crispness. Nestled within this crunchy embrace is a generous layer of our special cheese blend, selected for its ideal melting properties and subtle flavor that complements without overwhelming the other elements.

The true star of this creation is our house-made Qushta—a traditional Middle Eastern clotted cream that requires meticulous preparation and patience to achieve its signature silky texture and delicate flavor. This precious cream is generously spooned over the warm kanafeh, creating a luxurious contrast to the crispy pastry beneath. The entire creation is then drizzled with pure, fragrant honey that seeps into the layers, adding natural sweetness and a subtle floral aroma. A final sprinkle of premium crushed pistachios adds color, texture, and a nutty dimension that perfectly completes this symphony of flavors. The interplay between the crispy pastry, melted cheese, silky cream, sweet honey, and crunchy pistachios creates a multi-dimensional dessert experience that has been cherished across the Middle East for centuries. For the authentic experience, enjoy while still warm with a cup of our cardamom-infused Arabic coffee to complement the rich flavors.
