    I like to try new coffee shops on Sundays and unexpectedly found Knafeh Cafe today. I didn't get to step inside because I had my dog with me, but my partner went in to order my Dubai strawberry latte (half sweet) and picked out a few pastries. The young man who took his order was very polite and made great recommendations based on his favorite flavors. Everything was delicious: texture was amazing, VERY fragrant, and not too sweet. Although, It might've been too sweet if I didn't order the drink half sweet. I'm not sure how much everything cost because i didn't pay for it but i assume it's expensive as they use real, quality ingredients. My latte tastes pricey, probably $8 My photos don't do the items justice. I'm most excited to come back for another latte and their rice pudding (it tastes like roses!).

    The place is cute and small. To be honest, we just got one piece knafeee just to try it and it wasn't good at all. It was hard to cut it. But you be the judge. Service was good.

    Asem, thank you so much for making my very first knafeh experience such a memorable one. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such a genuine smile and immediately felt welcomed. You can tell this isn't just something you make--it's something you truly care about. The knafeh was absolutely delicious. You could taste how fresh and authentic it was, and every flavor really came through. It was sweet, warm, rich, and made with so much care. I had heard about knafeh before, but experiencing it handmade like this made it so much more special. What stood out just as much as the food was your kindness and hospitality. It's always special to support a small business, but even more so when you can see the heart and passion behind it. I'm genuinely grateful we found you and got to experience something made with so much love and tradition. I truly hope more people discover your business because you deserve all the support and success that comes your way. We will definitely be back, and I'll happily recommend your knafeh to anyone looking for something authentic, delicious, and made by someone who truly cares. Thank you again, Asem!

    Highly recommend Knafeh Cafe for your next sweet treat or coffee break. My go to is the pistachio latte (iced) with crispy Knafeh!

    If you are in LA this is a must stop!!!! The restaurant is very small with limited seating but lots of parking! The kunafa is out of this world. They have crispy and soft kunafa with cheese. It is absolutely delicious. The service was quick and friendly.

    If you're craving Mediterranean food, I highly recommend Kanakas Cafe. For larger trays, it's best to call about 30 minutes in advance to place your order. I picked mine up and reheated it at home, and it was absolutely delicious!

    The young man at the counter was very polite and the ambience is very nice. It was my first time trying knafeh. I was delicious. My family loved it.

    Walnut Baklava and Mhalaya
    Archie S.

    If you're a lover of Knafeh, this might just be the place you will find some of the best and freshest ones. They have a bunch of different varieties of Knafeh and Baklava here if you like variety. I love the traditional crispy Knafeh that just has that perfect contrast of crunch and chew from the cheese in the middle. I also tried their Mhalaya which was a pudding like dessert similar to a Panna Cotta which was very pleasant to have. Great thing about this place is that they also have good drinks and I love a nice Karak Tea to go with almost any dessert. Come here for the Knafeh, there's not much of a seating area and it's not a place I would dedicate to sit down and enjoy but you can get slices of Knafeh or order a whole tray to take home.

    Best knafeh! Baraa was so helpful and patient with all my questions since I can't decide which ones to get. Ended up getting 5 slices of different kinds and the baklava mix. Everything's good and not a disappoint. The store is small and clean. Lots of parking available.

    Extra syrup for the extra sweet tooth

    Just drove 45 minutes for the best Knafeh I have had since Dearborn, Michigan. The service was excellent and the prices are exceptional. Approximately $7.50 per piece and they are on the larger size--so great value for the quality for sure. For the Knafeh, there is a soft and crispy option, I personally enjoyed the crispy one much more. I really appreciated the extra syrup drizzle on the side to add more to my liking. The shop has a few seats inside and a few tables outside to enjoy your delectable sweets. The Turkish coffee was crazy good too! As thick and muddy as it is (and should be!) it had a really light buttery taste. Everything was an absolute delight!! 100/10 recommendation!

    Nutella knafeh
    Khoi N.

    I love this place. All the knafeh is so good!! The crispy knafeh is my favorite. But I enjoy coming back and trying all the other ones they make. Recently tried their Nutella knafeh and it's delicious! Maybe just a little too sweet, but the crunchiness of it is so satisfying.

    I finally got to try Knafeh Café, and I was not disappointed. I placed my order ahead of time, and they made it fresh on the spot--exactly how knafeh should be. I've tried multiple places for knafeh, and this is easily one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly made, delicious, and so good that I went back and got another one the very next day! The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the shop itself is clean and inviting. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Anaheim. I highly recommend giving them a try--you won't regret it!

    If you're looking for authentic, fresh Mediterranean food near Disneyland, Zait Zataar is…read moreabsolutely worth the stop! It's only about 7 minutes from the parks, making it the perfect lunch or dinner spot if you're craving something flavorful that won't leave you feeling heavy. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The spinach pastry was hands down my favorite, perfectly flaky with a delicious savory filling. The potato pastry was a close second and just as satisfying. If you visit, don't skip the pastries! We also tried the steak and chicken kebab combo plate, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was especially tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. You can actually watch the meat being cooked fresh in the back, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. I ordered the veggie plate with falafel, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, and tahini sauce, and every single item was delicious. The falafel really stood out. It had a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful center. Dipping it into the baba ganoush, hummus, and tahini made every bite even better. One of my favorite things was that the meal was incredibly satisfying without feeling greasy or overly heavy. It was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor, but I still felt great afterward. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, and the service was impressively fast. They also have a great selection of Mediterranean spices if you want to bring some of those incredible flavors home. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire team. Between the fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent service, Zait Zataar has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite Mediterranean restaurants. I'll absolutely be coming back!

I placed an online order for the baked fish plate around 12:45 PM and expected a bit of a wait since it was fish. After waiting about 25 minutes, I called and was told it would be another 10-15 minutes. The restaurant was busy, so I understood. However, after waiting longer and checking inside twice, my order still wasn't ready and there seemed to be confusion about its status. In total, I waited close to an hour for an order that was placed online in advance. What bothered me most was seeing customers who ordered in person receive their food before me. It felt like my online order had been overlooked. If online ordering is offered, those orders should be monitored and fulfilled properly, especially during busy times. The food itself was good, but the plate could have been put together better. The fries were placed directly on top of the fish, which made them soggy and took away from the presentation. It would make much more sense to serve the fries on the side. Overall, the food is still good, but the long wait, confusion with the online order, and lack of attention to presentation make me hesitant to rely on the online ordering system again.

It seems pretty empty most of the time, so the chairs and table could have debris on it. I got to try the chicken bowl, and we also ordered some wraps.

The ingredients in the bowl were quite fresh though. I also had a side of garlic and wow the garlic made is veryyyy flavorful, including the hummus. I thought it was pretty good! The pita chips were also very nice as they were definitely very crispy, although, not as good if you save it as leftover, but still not bad. We also had a few pieces of falafels on the side, which they were surprisingly pretty good! It was not as fried dense ball as I thought it would be, which it actually made me enjoy or appreciate falafels more. I would definitely try the falafel instead of the chicken next time in my bowl.
