I'm a big fan of basbousa/harissa, so I was disappointed to discover that my old haunt Albasha Sweets went downhill. I've tried other Middle Eastern dessert places in this area, but can' t say I was blown away by any one place. I do feel that every time I go to Prince Sweets the desserts are pretty good, so I decided to do a fun little experiment. I looked at all the dessert places in the area and found one I had never been to Nablus Sweets. I went there and got a couple pieces of basbousa (and my wife got some knafeh). I then went to Prince Sweets and got one piece each of three different types of basbousa: plain, coconut, and nut topped. After getting home I made myself a cup of herbal tea...
I ordered delivery from here on Grubhub. Almost everything I ate was delicious. All the pics will have my specific review, but pretty much all the baklava was at least a 4/5, if not perfect. Super flaky crust, the syrup was perfectly sweet and thick, and overall so freaking fresh. The baklava assortment is cut small so it is easy to pace yourself or share at a party. The warbat was the only item I didn't love. Never had it before though, but I can at least attest to the fresh ingredients. The knafeh roll was out of this world tasty though. All in all, l highly highly recommend ordering from this awesome bakery!
I picked up three trays of knafeh from here this morning. I have had knafeh in Jerusalem, Nablus, and Trader Joe's. While the knafeh was fresh, it lacked sweetness..and was a bit dry Frankly, after fasting all day I could only have two bites. Trader Joe's knafeh is better. It may have something to do with the new ownership..
The service here is warm and welcoming! The dining area is lovely! They offer a wide range of delicious, beautifully made pastries to choose from. I am especially fond of the cashew baklava and the knafeh. The baklava is priced at $16 per pound, while the knafeh costs around $1.50 each.

Definitely recommend! My favorite is their harissa bil ishta- by far the best in the Chicagoland area! Always call in advance to have it made fresh. They are very honest and will tell you when it was made unlike most places (always say they just made it).
Used to love them, but something happened with their cheese quality. The knafa is not as it used to be based on the last two times I had it. Service: Dine in
No words can truly capture the experience at Kunfak... it's absolutely breathtaking, astonishing, and nothing short of spectacular!
The Kenafah here tastes just as amazing as Habiba in Jordan (where I was born). So far, this is the best I've had in the US!
