I've only eaten knafeh maybe two or three times in Chicago, but it had been a while. Are there better sources here?
Knafeh from Al Aqsa Sweets in Nablus' old city in the West Bank. The best. Pure molten gold.


Try Bridgeview's Nablus Sweets for some of the better, if not best, in Chicago (a north-side location closed a few years ago)
