Get Your Fix Of Turkish Coffee, Palestinian Dates & Arabian Sweets At Kunafa

For delectable Arabian sweets and pastries, Palestinian dates and Turkish coffee {one of the strongest cups we’ve had in the city}, enter Kunafa in Meherchand Market.

Kunafa is a café cum bakery and, as the name suggests, serves a wide range of kunafa {a cottage cheese pastry soaked in sweet syrup; the recipe dates all the way back to the Ottoman Empire} and baklava in almond, pistachio and walnut variants.

 If you fancy a dash of honey with your early morning lemonade, Kunafa’s stock of Jordanian honey may just be what you’ve been looking for.

If you’re more of a coffee person, their metal pot of Turkish coffee {infused with cardamom} is bound to appeal to you– though you might end up staying awake for longer than you like.

We mean the stuffed variety, of course. Choose from fillings that include pistachios, hazelnuts, cashews and almonds. If you prefer figs, they’ve got those too.

We say Kunafa can be a great place to stop at, while browsing through Meherchand Market, for a cup of coffee and some sweets to take home.
