After watching so many videos on Instagram, I had to check out this cute little stand! So happy to report back that I'm so glad I checked out this small business. It's super cool to watch the guys make each Knafeh. The guys making the Knafeh are friendly and the classic Knafeh I tried was delicious. It was cheesy, just the right amount of sweetness, and so buttery and delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some other flavors!

Dubai Strawberry K'nafeh
Bianka G.

So my cousin Introduced me to this delicious sweet cheesy delight. I had a homemade one from a grandma so my first time experience was legit. I saw this stand in the area and knew I had to try them out. So FYI - K'nafeh is a middle eastern dessert - it's shredded phyllo dough (kataifi) with a sweet cheese filling, and soaked in a syrup - usually honey or rose water and can be topped with pistachios. Everything is homemade and they use high quality ingredients. They even make their own Dubai chocolate bars and wow- that chocolate is rich but not overly sweet. What chocolate should taste like. Anyway back to the K'nafeh. The dessert in general is a mix of salty and sweet. If you are a cheese fan, this combination of flavors and textures works. They have traditional K'nafeh and then fun variations of it like biscoff, kinder, blueberry, pistachio, Dubai strawberry, and a flavor of the month. I love the idea of chocolate and cheese so I got the Dubai strawberry one. It was goooood and the juicy strawberries added some freshness and tartness to it. The variations are cool but you really can't go wrong with the traditional one. It's a star all on its own! Update: Bananas foster K'nafeh is amazing! Not too sweet. This one is a must try (flavor of the month item) Open Friday-Sunday for now, usually starting at 5pm until they run out. Let it be known, they are "bringing Middle Eastern sweets to the LA streets"

Can't get enough of these! Got the strawberry Dubai chocolate knafeh today! The way the pistachio cream and chocolate gleam in that sun! Don't forget the cake! Layered perfection! Go support these guys!

Dubai chocolate K'nafeh
Steve S.

These guys are amazing. Customer service is one of the best in LA and their products speak for themselves. The k'nafeh is out if this world. Today, however, I went with their dubai milk chocolate bar. As it has done many times before, this chocolate bar blew my hair back. The freshness of the pistachio butter and kunafa, along with the perfect non-flop structure of their delicious, thin, milk chocolate outer shell, might be making a case for it being the best chocolate bar in LA. Absolutely fantastic taste. Highly recommend!

DUBAI CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY KNAFEH
Juliet G.

First time trying knafeh! It was a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors. We went with one Pistachio Knafeh and one Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Knafeh. The dough was crispy and it paired well with the warm cheese. The Pistachio had a nice lil extra crunch, and the Dubai had a more refreshing taste with the fresh strawberries. We enjoyed both flavors! Their food stall is located right in front of a church so there's plenty of parking and space here. Everyone here was also friendly and the service was quick despite there already being a few customers ahead of us. If you're lookin' for a fresh treat, you gotta try Korner Knafeh!

Bought the Ferraro Rocher strawberry Dubai strawberry cup and the dark chocolate Dubai bar. Total was about $44. The cup was pretty good and wasn't too sweet (which is a compliment btw). Owner and workers were friendly and the spot is on the sidewalk of Reseda and Plummer. Just a heads up, the pharmacy parking lot is blocked off so depending on the time you go, you'd have to park on the street.

Knafeh

I've had Korner K'nafeh saved for a while now, and after seeing them again on TikTok last week, we finally went and I'm so glad we did. I've been to the Middle East every year for the last seven years, and kunafa has always been one of my favorite desserts. It was one of the few things I could never find properly here in LA. I've craved its crunchiness and sweetness so many times, and it was honestly disheartening not having access to good kunafa while I was here. That's why it's so exciting to see LA (and social media in general) becoming more aware of and welcoming toward Middle Eastern desserts. You'd usually have to drive all the way to OC or take a chance somewhere in Sawtelle or West LA. And even then, good kunafa wasn't guaranteed. So finding Korner K'nafeh felt really promising, and it truly did not disappoint. We ordered the Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Kunafa and the Pistachio Paradise. The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Kunafa was super good with fresh sliced strawberries, chocolate, and pistachio on a bed of traditional kunafa. The kunafa itself had classic, straightforward flavors. It was golden brown, super crispy on the outside, and had just the right amount of stretchy cheese. My partner, who tried kunafa for the first time a few months ago and didn't love how oily it was, really enjoyed this version. It felt lighter and more balanced but still rich and decadent. My personal favorite was the Pistachio Paradise. The pistachio cream/butter they use is amazing: rich, nutty, and perfectly sweet. There were lots of pistachio pieces on top, and even with all that cream, the kunafa stayed crispy with a super satisfying crunch. It was buttery without being greasy, and every bite was delicious. There were a few people ahead of us when we got there, but it only took about 10 minutes for our order to be ready. There are a couple of small seats outside, but it's right on the street and shared with a nearby shawarma place. It's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot. I'd recommend taking it home or somewhere else to really enjoy it, since there isn't much space to sit and eat there comfortably. 10/10, without a doubt. We're already planning to go back in the next few days. The only downside is that they're only open Thursday through the weekend, but it's still pretty accessible. I'm just so happy we finally have great kunafa in LA. It took a while to get here, but it was worth the wait.

Omgsh came across this place on Yelp and had to try it! They open at 7pm so my husband and I drove here after eating dinner and had their pistachio k'nafeh. It was really good! Fresh and warm - made to order. We also ordered the Dubai chocolate bar, the large was $25. They had a small one for $8 but you get more for the $25 one. They have it in milk chocolate, white and dark! The service was good, everyone is so friendly! They have a pop up and so the parking is street parking only, lots of spots though, very walkable.

Dubai knaffee, soo good!
Elaine D.

Yummm!!! The best spot for a sweet treat! Gooey and crunchy and delicious! Moe and his team are awesome. Definitely coming back for more knaffee!

Me and Robert Lowkey
Robert S.

Robert has the same name as he so he's very cool. Also the Knafeh is pretty good even after a day. Easily reheatable and enjoyable

Traditional soft
Ali Q.

The team at Korner Knafeh really knows how to make proper, traditional knafeh. I usually get the traditional soft knafeh, and it's easily some of the best I've had. The customer service is great, and while delivery is available and convenient, I always recommend having it fresh and hot if you can. They've truly gotten it right. This is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving knafeh, which is surprisingly hard to find done well in LA.

Rachel M.

The churro walnut k'nafeh was delicious! I also tried the dark chocolate Dubai chocolate and the chocolate cake. Although since I love cinnamon, I would get the k'nafeh as my favorite out of the 3 desserts.

I was in town for my niece's theater show and we needed to find a place that is open for a late-ish…read moredinner. I am surprised to see that many restaurants closed early on a Friday night! We found on Yelp, this restaurant named Lemon Zest. It is a restaurant that is part of small business center but Lemon Zest looks like a stand alone business. The interior was designed so nice with ample seating outside in the patio area and inside. This place is meant to hold large parties. The vibe is so cool for a casual date or dinner and drinks with friends. It is also cool to host a mixer or private party! At 9:15pm we were the only party and our server treated us so well. She didn't rush us but she did check in with us periodically. I wish we got her name so we can properly give her praise. The food was amazing. This is my first time here so I ordered the beef gyro plate and paid extra for loaded Greek fries. The plate was huuuge! Such a generous serving that is enough for two people to eat. The fries were crisp and the toppings worked so well. It complimented the thin, well-seasoned slices of beef. The pita was cut into triangles, making the perfect bite. My friends and I really enjoyed our dinner and promise to comeback!

This meal was so life-changing I had to hop back on yelp to tell everyone. Firstly, the interior is…read morewell-decorated and spacious and the ambiance is excellent and our server said that the menu is part Persian inspired. Most importantly, the food was the greatest ever. My family would have been fine with just the baba ganoush and roasted eggplant-- it was hearty and creamy and garlicky, everything I have ever wanted in a dish. But of course, we ordered the super combo due to our hubris and paid the price (we took a bunch of boxes). They are not kidding when they say the Super Combo feeds 4-5, they must be talking about 4-5 men in their early 20s because it was way too much for us. Assuming you eat all the salad and rice and the bed if bread the meat is served on, I can imagine this feeding more than 5 people. It is truly the most value item on the menu, should you have the personnel to take it on. Highly recommended for anyone who likes mediterranean food! Try the baba ganoush and roasted eggplant!!

My favorites are their kabobs and different modifications (think sour berries) of generous amounts of basmati rice that accompany their entrees. The Mast O' Mooseer (yoghurt with shallots) is another of my must haves. Generally, I always get the koobideh kabob to go, but this time, I was in the mood to sit down and have some chunks of meat. I chose the Shish Kabob, which is advertised as grilled filet mignon pieces. The restaurant prepares it medium well and past experience revealed it to be dry and tough. So I asked for it medium rare, for the first time. The dish that came to my table had marvelous optics. The beef was well charred, had an intoxicating aroma and well distributed coloring amongst the seven generous pieces. But there were a few problems. For one, I could not comfortably cut into the beef without using excess force, and shredding it. I asked for a sharper (steak) knife and was told that was all they had. While the meat was juicy, it was extremely chewy. I even questioned whether it was filet mignon, because it did not look and behave like it. I was told it was. If that was the case, could it have been a bad cut? This substantiates why I am leery about ordering meat pieces. Amongst the other items, the thick creamy yoghurt did not disappoint. Same with the grilled onion and tomato. The saffron rice is always fluffy and abundant. The green salad was crisp and refreshing. Take home message? Looks like I will have to skip the Shish Kabob and stick only with the koobideh, if I am ever in the mood for skewered grilled beef.

We were attending an event at the bookstore next store so it was a no-brainer to give Pi on Sunset…read morea try. Mediterranean food is pretty consistent (ie the same) for my tastes wherever I get it so I was pleasantly surprised by a few elements of Pi. The pies, for example...I tried the Zaatar pie...honestly it was not much more then a thick, airy, freshly made pita with Zataar and olive oil on it...but it's sometimes the simplest things which delight. The Zaatar pie delighted. I tried the Lebanese red wine (I mean, when in a Lebanese restaurant, why not?) And it stood up to any red I'd had anywhere else. The Tabouleh (one of my Mediterranean standards) was fresh made, filling, and a nice companion to the heavier Zaatar pie. It was awfully nice, and unexpected, to get complimentary baklava at the end of the meal...2 generous sized pieces which were pretty indulgent and eliminated the need to get (and pay for) dessert there or anywhere else. Service was lovely...the manager or owner took care of us and made us feel he was truly grateful that we were there. It's also a hookah spot...so if you're not into that vibe or smoke of any kind, (I'm not really) you'll definitely smell that anywhere you are in the restaurant, even if you're not seated next to those using hookahs. If you've got a hankering for Mediterranean...especially a place that has some unique things not at other Mediterranean spots, definitely give Pi on Sunset a shot.

I'm honestly so disappointed in the lunch that was ordered for us today. A group of us didn't bring…read morefood because we were told lunch would be provided. Unfortunately, it was a complete letdown. The sandwich was extremely unappetizing. The bread was soggy and falling apart, and the filling looked and tasted like it had been sitting out way too long. It didn't feel fresh at all, and several of us couldn't even finish it. The fries were even worse, they tasted stale, like they were at least a day or two old, and had that chewy, reheated texture instead of being crispy. Definitely not something anyone would want to eat.

Perfectly seasoned, insanely flavorful, fluffy rice, and the shirazi salad absolutely slapped. All this for $15 in 2026 when gas is $6.30. And the service? So kind. The person I called taking my order was sweet, everyone at pickup was welcoming, and I swear someone's grandma was in the kitchen because the food tasted like a warm hug.

So I ordered 3 Gyro meals. Lamb, chicken, and beef with the combo meal fries and drink. For the 3 sandwiches with each of them having a side of small fries and small drink I paid $71.29 for the entire order which is crazy in itself but the real crime was the food here, I am surprised how this place is been running business this whole time. First thing you do when you sit in a car? Take a few bites of the fries, and let me tell you that shit got stuck in my throat from how dry and nasty it was absolutely no SALT on any of the sandwiches and or fries... We all know salt makes everything more delicious and we had none of it. Me and 2 of my guests all had complaints on how unsalted and bland the food was. Also with a gyro usually you need a garlic sauce aka white sauce for my New Yorkers, they tried to charge me $5.90 for a SMALL plastic side of garlic sauce for my $20 sandwich. Save your money head over to Pita Pocket or any other gyro spots cuz this ain't it. It's really not hard to get a gyro down. Trader Joes also has a box of gyro meat you can buy make at home and I did once and it was WAYYYY better then this place lol. This place gets 0 stars for charging customers $20+ for a freaking combo meal that doesn't even include a garlic sauce.
