A Sweet Paradise in Ajax: Kunafas Restaurant Delights Every Palate My recent visit to Kunafas Restaurant in Ajax was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of the town, Kunafas offers an enchanting culinary journey through the flavors of the Middle East. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance that instantly made me feel at home. Now, let's talk about the stars of the show - the delectable desserts. I had the pleasure of trying their Cream Kunafa, Cheese Kunafa, Basbousa, and Bakhlava, and each bite was a heavenly experience. The Cream Kunafa was a perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess, while the Cheese Kunafa melted in my mouth with its rich, indulgent flavors. The Basbousa was moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the Bakhlava was a symphony of crunchy layers and sweet honeyed goodness. Not only were the desserts exceptional, but the service was also impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and passionate about ensuring that every guest had a memorable experience. The Hospitality of SARAH especially makes this place shine more. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, with cozy seating and tasteful decor that added to the overall charm of the place. Whether you're craving a sweet treat or looking to indulge in authentic Middle Eastern desserts, Kunafas is the place to be. With its delightful offerings, warm atmosphere, and top-notch service, Kunafas has truly set the bar high for dessert destinations in Ajax. I wholeheartedly recommend Kunafas to anyone seeking a five-star culinary experience that will leave you craving for more.

I recently ordered the strawberry DUBAI chocolate cup, and while I was eager to indulge, the experience was more frustrating than delightful. The chocolate-to-strawberry ratio felt unbalanced, with an overwhelming amount of chocolate and not enough strawberry to complement it. Additionally, the cup was filled to the brim, making it difficult to enjoy without creating a mess. The small opening at the top made it challenging to maneuver a fork in and out, especially with a strawberry, so we had to remove the lid—only to have a significant portion of the dessert spill out. What should have been a simple indulgence became a stressful and messy ordeal. This was my second time trying something new from this spot, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations. However, I must give credit where it’s due—the pre-made chocolate bars and the DUBAI chocolate baklava were absolutely divine and deserve a solid 5-star rating. The other baklava, however, was on the drier side, and while the Turkish kunafa with cream was enjoyable, it wasn’t particularly memorable. On a brighter note, the cleanliness of the establishment was impeccable—almost on par with Crumbl in Ajax, which I highly appreciate. A spotless kitchen and dining area show the team’s dedication to hygiene and order, even during rush hour. Moreover, the staff were incredibly friendly and patient, which made the visit more pleasant despite the dessert mishap. Overall, while some desserts were a miss for me, the quality of their pre-made treats, the welcoming staff, and the pristine environment still make this spot worth visiting. A fair 3/5 rating.

Kunafa's, located in Ajax, is one of my favorite go-to destinations, offering an excellent selection of Middle Eastern and Arabic sweets. They stand out with their authentic, rich flavors. I’ve tried most of their products, and each visit reaffirms that they are among the best dessert shops in the GTA. What I appreciate most is their creativity in making sweets; besides the classic coarse and fine kunafa, they offer a great variety of baklava, especially their pistachio baklava, which comes in different shapes and styles. Recently, they introduced “Dubai Chocolate,” a treat that captivates your senses with its unique flavor and high quality, which is hard to find at the same level elsewhere. On my last visit, I ordered the Dubai Chocolate Cup with strawberries, and honestly, it was simply out of this world! This place is definitely worth a visit, with very reasonable prices. You might have to wait a bit during busy hours due to high demand. My only suggestion would be to update the interior design, making it more modern and aligned with the elegance of their high-quality products.

The best kunafa you can get in Ontario is from them. Got the crispy and soft and because i needed to, got the stuffed chocolate bars too The kunafa was amazing. Textures were amazing. A lot of different textures and all so nicely done. Warm and stretchy from the cheese. Even after bringing it home from the day time and having it as a snack 5 hours after. Popped it in the microwave and tasted like it just came out fresh The chocolate bars were mind blowing. The pistachio one is the one to get. Might be a little pricey, but you really get a lot of pistachio inside each bar and it’s a must try since the original from dubai is just not accessible. Service was great. Person helping out explained quickly about the kunafa and how to heat them back up. I liked just looking at the different pastries and baklavas and did not ever feel rushed to make a decision There’s quite a bit of parking as it is I’m a plaza, but could foresee the plaza being fairly busy. Great job overall

Honest opinion: Came in for the viral Dubai chocolate strawberry cups. I had been warned about the line ups and slow service prior to going. Stepping in smelled like butter inside. All the treats looked so delicious! The line up was still inside the store, roughly over 10-15 people in front of me, but grew a lot more since getting there before 7pm on a Friday night. I sensed it was a family business and staff moved really slow with no urgency. System for taking orders and staff customer service could be greatly improved. As for the strawberry cups, I wasn’t a big fan. They did not “make to order” as the cups were already pre made and just sitting on the counter. Chocolate was already hard and pistachio cream ratio was very overwhelming (see last picture). I ordered 3 additional baklavas and they were all too sweet even for my sweet tooth and I’m not new to eating these types of pastries. I really wishes those strawberry cups were made on the spot.

This was my first time trying all of these different items, my friend and I had been in the same plaza and seen the sign and figured we could go in and see how everything looked. The food looked and smelled amazing and we really couldn't decide what to get (we also did not know what the majority of everything was, just knew it looked delicious). The two ladies inside were super helpful and explained every dessert and what was inside and how you should eat it. We were so grateful for that because we were a little nervous to have to ask since we really didn't know what to expect from the start, but they were so amazing, warm and made us feel welcome and super excited to try the food. They even gave us 2 more treats for a promotion they were having :) Once we got home and tried them we were SO pleased! Will definitely be coming back again to get some more for not only myself, but family and friends :) so delicious!!!
