Jenin Pastry - Fine Konafa. So yummy - Desserts Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I was craving Kunafa and we had not tried this place yet so we decided to give this place a go! It actually helped me discover a really cool area with a lot of middle eastern restaurants, shops and cafés. It was a very lively area. We got two classic Kunafa's and a slice of cake that had a piece of baklava on it, which we found to be very unique. We did do pick up so by the time we arrived home the kunafa was not as crispy as I like. But still pretty good. I may need to sit and eat it there next time to truly get the taste. The cake was very good, not super sweet except for the baklava on top. Definitely recommend. I want to go back and try a few other desserts here! read more

I tried Kunafe for the first time almost a decade ago in NYC and it changed my whole perspective on desserts and now ranks in my top 5 best desserts. The last time I had in was in the Middle East in Qatar but it was just okay, so I was glad to learn about Jenin pastry. I stopped by recently and ordered a small selection of their cookies, baklava and a small portion of their house made Kunafe. Everything was delicious but the Kunafe was spectacular. This is now my go-to spot for Kunafe in the DMV. I can't wait to stop by again soon. read more

Finally, an authentic place to have Knafeh! I've been craving it and wanting to have it at a legit spot. Jenin Pastry serves Palestinian and Middle Eastern sweets. There are so many options to choose from- thankfully, I knew what I wanted, but there aren't labels or prices listed in store. Of course, I got one slice of knafeh. I wanted to try something else too- I got some triangular phyllo pastry filled with cream (unsure of name). Both pastries were delicious, but definitely the knafeh is a must! For these two items, it was about $10. I suggest eating it when fresh, but if at home maybe heat it up for a few seconds and enjoy! Overall, clean shop with delicious Arab pastries and quick service. I will definitely be coming back for more knafeh and trying other things! read more

These guys have the best kunefe in the DC area, hands down. We drive 20 minutes just to get it. Nowhere else even comes close, to be honest. The servers are really nice as well! They made kunefe Nabulsi (with the crispy kataifi on top) just for me, and explained how to say the names of the different things in Arabic. It's a nice atmosphere, too. Nice sunlit seating, good music, tantalizing display case. Very worth checking out! read more

I had this delicious Kunafeh from Jenin Pastry. I believe they had two types of Kunafeh - soft (Na'aami) Kunafeh and crunchy (Isanbouli) Kunafeh. I loved the crunchy Kunafeh and would rate it 10/10; it's a must-try. The soft Kunafeh was okay. The place is really beautiful and has variety of middle eastern desserts. Also, it has really small sitting area. I would prefer take out. The place was very busy, but the service was quick. read more

I really love the pastries here--they're always fresh and delicious. Most of the staff are kind and welcoming, and Ahmed in particular is always so warm and wonderful. That said, the woman working Sunday around 1:45 PM was incredibly unpleasant. She came across as abrasive, impatient, and like she didn't want to be there at all. Unfortunately, this hasn't been a one-time experience--every interaction I've had with her has been the same. It's disappointing because the rest of the team is so lovely, but her attitude really brings the experience down and makes what should be a great visit feel uncomfortable. read more

My favorite middle eastern bakery in this area!! Sometimes we go overboard and order toooo much, but we'll make it last the week, if we can control ourselves. Their kunafa is the best in town. Seriously. And you'll be lucky if you get a fresh piece! It's still delicious to go. We also always get a few pieces of the basbousa. It's perfect - soft, sweet but not too much, and a good size. Love love love love jenin's. We come at least once a month for our fix read more

Jenin has undergone a full remodeling! For those who knew the place from its red walls days, it's all white on white now! The new look is nice, but one thing that hasn't change is the amazing Palestinian pastries. Everything you eat here is delicious; from Kunafa (cheese pastry), to a baklava in all shapes and sizes. Make sure you try their Turkish coffee; very aromatic! read more

I learned that there was Knafeh Na'ameh (smooth knafeh) and Knafeh Khishneh (rough knafeh)! Both incredible. My ppreference Leans towards the smooth. I highly recommend if you're in the area, to check out this bakery (they also have a Springfield location!) read more

Nice place and good pastries, but the business practice appears sketchy. No prices posted anywhere, and when I checked online for them, I found I was charged double the amount. Not sure if this is done to certain people for certain reasons, but definitely makes me think twice about coming back. read more

this is the best place to get knafeh in the nova area!!!! The cheese is perfectly melted, but not too greasy, and the flavor is not too sweet. It can take a while to receive your order since there can be a long wait for the knafeh (every time I went there were several people ahead of me, trying to get the same item lol). However, the owners are always pulling out fresh trays of knafeh it is always worth the wait. There is plenty of seating and they also offer plenty of other snacks. I have tried their macarons and other pastries and they are delicious as well. There is plenty of parking. I highly recommend stopping by!! read more

If you haven't been here and you're looking for knafeh, this is THE place!! I come here all the time when I'm in the area, sometimes I even drive 1hour and 10 mins from my house to get knafeh here. I am sooo obsessed with it!! They have 2 kinds of knafeh that I have no idea the names but one has a crispy top and one has a more breaded top- I always get the crispy top one, you just cant beat it. They have a variety of Arab pastries, I'm long overdue in trying something other than the knafeh. Last time I came, I believe I spoke with the owner and he was a super nice and cool guy! I believe he's testing recipes for a new pastry which I find amazing! They use quality ingredients and once again, that knafeh never misses for me! Definitely recommend trying Jenin out! P.S.... If you're complaining about pricing, reminder that they make everything fresh in the back with quality ingredients. Think of the people who spend $7 for a small coffee at Starbucks nowadays. read more

Fresh, flavorful, generous: a huge variety of high quality sweets celebrating an uncommon culinary heritage. I was so pleased to have traveled a bit further out of DC to try their offerings. I hate going to DC--it's such a miserable place, but this pastry shop single-handedly brightened my visit. read more

A good assortment of pastries that appear fresh, but the cold service that day put us off. There are no labels or prices listed so we asked for the names and prices of a few items which seemed to annoy the cashier who gave us curt responses with only the prices and not the names of the items. We got the two variations of kunefe ($7 each), some small round cookie-esque items ($1.25/each), and a baklava piece ($2.50). They tasted good. Wish we knew exactly what we got and what some other items were, but we did not feel welcomed and therefore felt pressured to leave. That being said, there were a few customers there who seemed happy with their purchases and to whom the cashier was friendly and the shop is fairly clean and has a few chairs for dining in. read more

Amazing pastries. Perfect place to get special occasion treats or a gift for your sweet-lover.

This place has many delicious Middle Eastern desserts. I tried several, and all were unique and flavorful. My favorite was the Kunafeh - crunchy on top, soft and cheesy inside, and with the perfect sweetness . Service was fast, and the place is clean with some seating. Prices are high for the portion size, but it's worth a visit for a special treat. read more

The only authentic Palestinian spot in the DMV for desserts that I have found. The Knafa is delicious and freshly made!! I know a lot of folks keep asking where to go to get Knafa this is your spot. It's a little price $65 for half a tray but I know a lot of time and love goes into it. They are receiving 4 stars because they don't answer the phone and it can be frustrating that I can't order online or over the phone ahead. read more

Woah. The Knafeh was so good! We tried it because the employee said it was their most popular item. We were so pleasantly surprised, my first reaction was it tasted like a sweet mozzarella stick! The crust was perfectly sweet with a slight crunch that complimented the cheese very well. We also ordered the Ballorieh Pistachio, Baklawa Kajo Square, Baklawa Kajo, Ballorieh Walnut, and Syrian Warbat. The phyllo dough was sweet and super flakey. Our favorite item from the list was the Syrian Warbat - we loved how it was filled with custard. We do, however, wish the custard was a tad sweeter. read more

This is a no nonsense Arab Palestinian bakery that takes great pride in its dessert traditions. For those not so familiar with the choices, the staff are patient and kind in explaining the differences between the pastry types. This place certainly feels like the real deal and was particularly humming during the month of Ramadan. I would definitely recommend this bakery. read more

I went there quite a few times. While the pastries at this bakery look tempting, my visits have been a bit uncomfortable. There are no price labels, and I often feel unsure about the names or how much I'm being charged, which makes the experience a bit confusing. The lady staff member always seems exhausted and isn't very welcoming, sometimes giving a judgy look when asked for prices or item details. This makes it difficult for newcomers to try the pastries or feel at ease interacting. I hope the bakery improves transparency and staff engagement, as a more inviting atmosphere would encourage me to return and try their treats "with dine in hopefully". Ambience can be made better. read more

I love this place! Their baklava-- and there so many varieties of it-- is sooooo freaking good. I also really love their knafeh as well. I usually get an assortment of baklava and a slice of knafeh and my total is never more than $15, so it's reasonably priced as well. Service is always super fast. read more

I'm really not quite sure how this bakery gets the reviews it does. The baked goods tasted very old. And very stale. The QR code menu wasn't working so it was impossible to tell which items were what (even though i some limited knowledge). The service was non existent. And also the lady swept the floor then "served" the baked goods. I know she had gloves on but you just swept the floor.... Not recommended. Won't be back read more

Best authentic Kunafa in the state. Great people works there. Reminded me of the best Kunafa I had backhome.

Authentic and damn good! Popped in here for some evening sweet tooth cravings and left highly gratified! Jenin's has a wide variety of sweets from baklava, biscuits/cookies, kunafa, and qatayef. All are dangerously good! I tried the kunafa nablusiah and 1 qatayef, along with some black tea. The sweets were wonderful and reminded me of those back home. The interior was small but had a family feel that created a homey atmosphere. I was also a fan of their pictures posted around: half of which were of Palestine and the other half were of desserts ;) If you're craving traditional Arabic sweets, look no further! read more

Ohmygosh- the desserts were INCREDIBLE here. We ordered two things to share and both were INSANELY good - Kunafeh- not too sweet with a savory component from the cheese. Served warm in the restaurant, this was a fantastic dessert that I would not hesitate to get again. The crunch of the pistachios were a great contrast to the creaminess of the cheese - Coconut Custard Pastry: also another winner! The creaminess of the coconut custard was incredible in the pastry and it wasn't too sweet. I could eat this forever without getting sick of it Definitely want to come back and try out the rest of the menu! read more
