Food 6

  1. Breakfast specials Net −1
    “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.

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Choose Style. Start with Kunafa Krishneh for a crispier exterior, then try the softer Kunafa Ben Narem.

2

Eat In. Order chicken shawarma in the restaurant rather than for delivery, since one reviewer found delivery soggier.

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.
