DC KANAFE
Ha N.

Food truck in Tysons behind the Shell gas station near Joon. There is a good amount of parking. Service: I spoke to the 2 young men helping him whom I think maybe the owners. They are super friendly and told me they actually shipped the cheese in. They wanted to make the kanafe as authentic as they can. I even saw them hand out some water to customers that were enjoying their desserts. Food: even before I got my dessert, the customers eating next to the truck was like "It's SO GOOD!" And another customer came with a friend and told him "This is the best I've had anywhere and I've had a lot" So they had paid customers hyping their product up... and the verdict: DELICIOUS. I got the crispy version which was golden goodness that is irresistible. I know I will be back for their original! Guys you gotta stop by and get some amazing desserts here.

Second time's a charm! We stopped by for a late-night snack and had the grand kunafa -- so good. The cheese was perfectly gooey and paired really well with the pistachio. Definitely coming back to try the Nutella one next time

I fell in love with Kunafe / kunafa / knafeh in Istanbul after trying one from Chef Dogan who was born in Antakya, Southern Turkey, near the Syrian border. No matter how you spell it or pronounce it, you have to eat it. This dessert is made with spun pastry dough cooked crispy, on top of mild cheese and soaked in a sweet, sugar-based syrup topped with pistachios. The Kunafa Truck brings the real deal to the DMV. How authentic is it? Very. The owner, a great guy named Mo, originally from Jordan, had the food trailer made in Dubai, outfitted it in Jordan with traditional revolving gas stove tops, and shipped it to the US. Different regions have their own variations. This version is Jordanian and Palestinian known as Knafeh Nabulseyeh (from Nablus). He even imports the famous Nabulsi cheese (a wonderful, mild, white brined cheese). Don't miss this.

Different dessert experience! Delicious.... Crispy, cheesy, sweet! Go for the original with pistachios

Crispy grande kunafa for one

OMG don't sleep on this kunafa truck! We pull up on a Saturday afternoon and there's about a dozen people waiting, all Mediterranean and middle eastern, which is a good sign. Scan the QR code for the menu but I already studied it lol! Placed my order, crispy grand kunafa for one, since it's only for me. Took about 15 mins but you get it nice and hot! With an extra portion of sugar syrup! Couldn't wait so I took a bite and it was heaven!

WOW! Finally! Freshly made Kunafa in the DMV! This is such a wonderful idea. Ramadan is the perfect time to have this truck. The Kunafa staff are the sweetest just like their deliciously made kunafa. Line does get long however they are able to make multiple kunafas at once. They offer different sizes and flavors. Kunafa is best eaten warm/hot. Best of luck and hope a storefront opens soon.

Omg absolutely delicious. Never head it before and I saw it on korean TV show ... Lol and luckily there is spot in DMV. Dessert can't be any nicer than this

Original Pistachio kunafa Very good sweet, crunchy, and nutty

The dessert they have here are very good i personally recommend the fusion & original. I tried the DC variant but it was a complete miss (IMO) the filling had grits like texture and just wasn't good. Everything else though a definite 9/10! Must try!! They make it fresh so expect to wait around 10 mins, nonetheless it's worth every bite

It's sooo gooooooooooood! It's best when drag and still hot and cheese is stretchy. I got the one with extra pistachios

This cafe is located in Vienna, and there's plenty of free slanted parking in front as well as parking in the complex next to and across if you're willing to walk. I've been to this location when it first opened years ago and they've really upped their menu and decorations inside since. The ambiance inside is beautiful, ideal for anyone looking for a good Instagram picture. There's so many angles and details so that no matter where you're sitting, there's a good vibe. There's also gorgeous seating outside since it can get crowded. For food, you order from the front and they'll call you when the food is ready. We ordered the dubai gelato and pistachio lokmas. Both were presented tastefully to make sure our eyes and cameras wanted to eat before our stomachs. The dubai gelato was a quality dessert with a good ratio of milk: cream. The pistachio flavor was evident on top, but it was just a kinda tart vanilla ice cream with toppings. I did like it, however, and it paired well with the lokmas. The lokmas were fried to perfection, a nice amount of chewy, and covered with a good ratio of pistachio cream. They were a decent size and conducive to sharing. The prices of everything, overall, was pretty expensive, but the quality definitely made up for it. I'd recommend this cafe to someone looking for a unique sweet treat, catching up with a group of girl friends of 2-4 people, or for a first date!

Personally just prefer the drinks here, and the customer service is also really good. If you're someone who likes boba or coffee after dinner, I'd highly suggest this place as they have everything from regular coffee/espresso drinks to unique kinds of lattes, and my personal favorite, the Adeni Chai latte. Also there's different types of cakes/desserts that go together perfectly with your drink. Highly suggest the basbousa if you are trying something -- it's perfectly light, yummy, but not too sweet. While it's not super huge, it's still a good size and I often see people in here studying or families gathering to have tea. The ambiance is very welcoming. So overall, I have to rate it as a great cafe. We will obviously be back.

I ordered a simple latte with oat milk, and it was really good. I didn't order the one with spices. Maybe next time! I also asked for it in a mug, which made it extra special. The Lotus Tres Leches cake was a great companion to the coffee, not too sweet. I've also tried the Honey comb cake, and the honey cake, which are not bad at all! I also love how spacious this location is. There's a front and back seating area with the coffee bar in the middle, lots of seats, and the shop is nicely decorated. There's plenty of parking, but it can get tricky during peak hours since it's in a strip mall with lots of restaurants and other shops. Perfect spot to relax, enjoy coffee, and take in the cozy, thoughtfully designed space!

We started with the scallops and then had the gnocchi and pesto pasta. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could really tell that it was house-made. They also have a tasting menu that looked amazing and is definitely on my list for next time. The service was wonderful too. Our waitress was so friendly and made the whole experience even better. The highlight of the meal was easily the carrot cake with honey salted ice cream. Hands down the best carrot cake and ice cream combo I've ever had. Would recommend!

As soon as we entered, General Manager Sam welcomed us like old friends. After we were seated, my wife asked if he had previously worked at The Dabney, and sure enough, that's where we recognized him from. It was great catching up as he shared what he'd been doing since then and how his dream had always been to open his own restaurant. Seeing that dream come to life made the evening feel even more special. The restaurant was busy (definitely make reservations), but we were able to enjoy cocktails while we waited for our table. My Grey Goose martini with bleu cheese olives was phenomenal and set the tone for the rest of the meal. We started with the Bison Tartare and the Ceviche. The bison tartare was leaner than traditional beef tartare, and the crispy chips added the perfect savory crunch. The ceviche was incredibly fresh and bright. For our entrées, I had the ribeye while my wife ordered the Dory. The ribeye was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. My wife couldn't stop talking about how buttery and delicious the fish was. To finish the evening, we ordered the 100-Year Port Flight featuring 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-year ports. Vertical tastings are such a fun way to experience how a wine evolves over time. The 40-year was absolutely outstanding, and the 20-year was another favorite. The 10-year was enjoyable but still showed its youthful character compared to the older vintages. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between upscale and relaxed. The main dining room can feel a little tight when the restaurant is full, while the bar area has a few TVs for anyone wanting to catch a game. One thoughtful touch that stood out was the women's restroom being stocked with amenities like hair ties and hair clips. We noticed they also offer a tasting menu, and after this experience, that's already on our list for our next visit. Between the outstanding hospitality, exceptional food, excellent cocktails, and welcoming atmosphere, Evelyn Rose absolutely earned five stars.
