knafeh

saw this knafeh all over my facebook newsfeed and i couldn’t help myself to try it when it was within my vicinity. when i arrived it was literally a party with the bakers playing music and singing along. queues were long and a longwaitfor the knafeh to be baked. families sat on milk crates as they enjoy this middle eastern dessert. very lively and upbeat atmosphere. the bearded men looked as if they enjoyed doing this and give off happy vibes while they do their work.

they only serve some drink and knafeh. i just ordered knafeh take-away but the crust seemed to soften when i arrived home. i poured too much of the rosewater syrup on the knafeh so it was overly sweet, rookie mistake. apart from mine being too sweet, the dessert was absolutely fabulous. the milk goodness goes well with the rosewater syrup, however the crust was soft. i would recommend eating it on the venue then it might have a crispy crust. note it changes place every week and you will need to follow them.

i have always loved knafeh when they have their food trucks around and especially the vibe they bring with their service! i visited their green acre store to try their white chocolate snow ball and my goodness, it paired beautifully with the warm knafeh! loved it, and there are more flavours to try so i can'twaitto go back!

the best custard i ever had till now.
i have towaita little but thats fine for this perfect dessert..
must visit this place. it was a great experience

delicious custard like dessert which is amazing and served nice and hot. thewaitmight be long but the entertainment makes you forget you’re waiting. expect lines wherever these guys set up. but it’s definitely worth a try.

we had a great time at their pop-up bakery in clyde. bit of awaitfor our knafeh but we were entertained during thewaitwith singing and dancing - great atmosphere!

the knafeh itself was delicious with interesting textures and sweetness overall was not overwhelming. apart from the long lines, we enjoyed the experience and would try again!

this place has a massive culture around it and a huge fan base which comes with its own expectations; so a 40minwaitin line wasnt too bad. however after trying this dessert, although silky and delicious - wasn't really my cup of tea. would eat again. but not if i had to wait. (p.s best food truckwaitaround - beats and humour)

absolutely love these bearded bakers and their delicious knafeh! the only downside is sometimes thewaitis quite long but you tend to be rewarded at the end with delicious gooey cheese with syrup and pistachios sprinkled on top. they sometimes have the booza ice cream and its very soft. costs you around $8 a for a serving of knafeh. the dancing and singing is complimentary and all part of the show.

the knafeh crew were like bearded rock stars. full of energy and charisma, and they sure know how to dance! their knafehs ($8) are just beautiful. they're also pretty filling so i wouldn't recommend eating one after a big meal.

we had towaitquite a while for our knafehs but these guys are so entertaining and fun that it didn't bother us at all. also their knafehs are worth the wait! :)

seriously you need to see these guys. they're funky, bearded and aren't afraid to dance to good rnb music. i love the vibe and the knafeh...and mum helps out too which is great :) can'twaittill they come to melbourne. this is an institution.

knafeh bakery pop-up housed in a shipping container continues to bring jerusalem to the streets of sydney. it brings the whole community together in one place for a common purpose that is to have a taste of these freshly baked, delicious and creamy knafeh. you'll see bakers with big beards dancing and singing to middle eastern music while making your desserts, keeping you entertained while youwaitfor your name to be called to pick up your knafeh. for the unfamiliar, this popular dessert is a levantine sweet cheese dessert topped with crushed pistachios and soaked in sugar-based syrup. also try their deliciously sweet moroccan tea spiced with cinnamon.

using their mum's secret recipe, their take on this dessert traditionally made with semolina, ashta (a ricotta-like cream) and/or cheese and rosewater/orange blossom syrup, is not dissimilar to crème brulee - their creamy filling is custardy and not too sweet, with a lovely semolina crust that you can crack with your spoon, topped with a sprinkle of nuts and a good drizzle of sugar syrup. the lines don't move as fast as they could, and it is a fairwaitfor your knafeh, but there is no regret when you take your first bite. i always make sure to get my fix when they're in my area.

for a food truck, it's a mad environment. knafeh itself is commendable - cheesy and creamy base with a thin crust on top. it's not overly sweet and melts in your mouth while it's warm. the environment is what makes it so fun but sometimes thewaitin the line to both oder and pick up can be a tad bit exhausting. but if you have time, do give it a shot. oh and try the moroccan tea as well; it will give a spicy kick.
