The traditional Levantine dessert ‘knafeh’ gets a modern twist @heikculture @lamer

Baked on order, the traditional knafeh can be had along with no-sugar added syrups and various toppings like pistachios, pecans etc. There are four flavours of syrups to choose from – orange blossom, honey cinnamon, lavender and cardomom. My favourite was the orange 🍊 blossom.

They also have savoury knafehs such as lamb knafeh, chicken, goat cheese, halloumi cheese knafeh among others.

I had won a gift voucher to try a knafeh here and that’s how I first heard about this place. It was completely empty when I arrived and when I left, even though it was a weekend. I was surprised at first but I understood after tasting.  It wasn’t a great experience for me. I have tasted much better knafehs – the sweet versions. Didn’t try the savoury ones and I don’t think I’l go back either.
