“My husband and I had the most delicious and sweet crispy knafah from Feras Sweets. It was a little confusing to know where / how to order, though the service staff were super friendly and welcoming. Everything was being freshly made, even at 10pm! The knafah was the best one I’ve had so far. Not overly sweet, but very crispy and delicious.”

“I have tried to have breakfast here and I chose one of the breakfast specials, the one with omelette, sausage, hash browns and vegetables on the side, as shown on the pictures here. The omlette were too oily and flavorless. The sausages for some reason are deep fried and full of oil as well. The hash browns were OK but I couldn't finish it because of a hair I found on the cucumbers 🥒.”

Choose Style. Start with Kunafa Krishneh for a crispier exterior, then try the softer Kunafa Ben Narem.
Eat In. Order chicken shawarma in the restaurant rather than for delivery, since one reviewer found delivery soggier.
Check Pricing. Ask whether the order is takeaway or plated: a review reports different per-kilo prices and a separate plate price.
Late Visit. A late visit can still work for fresh sweets; one customer found them being made at 10pm.
Park Outside. Look for RTA parking directly outside the shop before heading in.

A recent visit found the kunafa overloaded with syrup, while another said the cheese layer had become much thinner.
A customer reported finding a large, sharp piece of stone in a mixed baklava box.
Reviews range from warm service to reports of unfriendly cashiers, pressure to order and staff refusing menu help.
One delivered order arrived without a plate or spoon, and the promised cutlery never arrived.
Some customers found the Arabic ice cream sweeter than usual and certain kunafa versions heavy with rose water.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
chicken shawarma and kunafa
“I ordered chicken shawarma and kunafa which together cost less than 40 AED”Google review · December 2020
The Bottom Line
Feras Aldiyafa Sweets in Al Barsha is primarily a kunafa stop, with enough variety to make a broader meal or takeaway run worthwhile. Customers mention the soft Naameh style, the crisp Kunafa Krishneh, the softer Kunafa Ben Narem, baklava and mixed manakeesh. Chicken shawarma, qatayef and Arabic ice cream also appear in the reviews, so it is not dessert-only in practice.
The strongest pattern is fresh, hot kunafa. One couple found it still being prepared at 10pm, while another described crispy kunafa as not overly sweet. Parking is a practical plus, with RTA parking reported right outside.
Takeaway can also cost less than eating in: one review recorded 80dh per kg for cheese kunafa and Warbat with Cream takeaway, versus 90dh in, or a 24dh plate. There are meaningful caveats. Recent reviews describe kunafa with too much syrup and a thinner cheese layer, and one customer reported a large stone in a baklava piece.
Service is inconsistent too, ranging from welcoming staff to unfriendly cashier interactions and pressure to order. For delivery, check that cutlery is included; one order arrived without a plate or spoon. If visiting for a first taste, start with a named kunafa style, confirm the serving price, and consider eating it fresh in the shop.
