What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the Knafeh's perfect crispiness and ideal sweetness, with many highlighting the unique vegan option. The cozy market atmosphere adds to the charm, though some reviews mention occasional issues with service attentiveness or the preparation of certain dishes.
"Not too sweet and perfect in size - this Knafe is the best I've had! (And you can have it vegan as well!!) Service is so kind and friendly, and don't miss on the herbal fresh tea as well! Just grab a stool and enjoy a warm bite of Knafe in the middle of Haifa market. It's right on the parking lot entrance, you won't miss it. Enjoy!"

"We were served by the most inattentive person ever! Was super busy with his smartphone, and hence our Knafeh arrived a bit dry. Good cheese, though."
Ariel Caner
"I tried both Knafe options. Original and vegan.
Probably the worse Knafe I’ve ever had. Most “hairs” were not cooked. Cheese wasn’t melted and the ice cream was far too sweet.
Vegan knafe was simply not a knafe.
The liel Beirut was great."
