The Good Stuff
Kunafa Kaak
Kunafa served with kaak is a standout choice, with one customer calling it a true taste of home.
Fresh delivery
Office orders have been reported arriving fast, fresh and hot, while a separate delivery arrived warm and tasty.
Wide choice
The menu includes versions such as Ne3me, Cheese & Ashta, Nabulsi, Lotus, Nutella, sugar-free and mini cheese bites.
Lebanese flavour
Several customers say the sweets taste like home or traditional Lebanon, especially the kunafa and other Arabic desserts.
Helpful service
Reviews describe staff as welcoming and helpful with recommendations, making it easier to choose among the kunafa styles.
Coffee pairing
Turkish coffee is also mentioned as a well-prepared accompaniment to the sweets.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Kaak. Order Kunafa Kaak if you want the branch’s most distinctive pairing; reviewers describe it as a taste of home.
Try Sugar-Free. Ask about the sugar-free kunafa, which one review says uses agave syrup as an alternative.
Share Mini. For two people, consider the mini Kunefe Kheshne size; one review found it suitable for sharing.
Check Price. Before paying, check the menu price for kaak kunafa because one customer reported an AED 20 listing versus an AED 22 charge.
Check Seating. Confirm dine-in arrangements before visiting in hot weather, as a recent review reported no indoor seating.
Use Parking. A September 2024 review reported free parking directly outside for one hour.

The Bottom Line
Kanafani in Mirdif is a confectionery shop centred on Lebanese and Arabic sweets, with kunafa doing most of the talking. The strongest recurring detail is texture: customers describe a golden or crisp exterior, warm stretchy cheese, and sweetness that does not overwhelm. Kunafa Kaak is the signature-feeling order, while Kunafa with Nutella gives the classic dessert a richer twist.
There is more to explore if you are buying a box or hosting: reviews mention ma3moul mad with Ashta, Halewet El Jeben, Madlouaa and Mafrouke. The sugar-free kunafa, made with agave syrup, is another useful option. Delivery has worked well for some customers, with office orders arriving fresh, hot and quickly; warm packaging also makes it practical for sharing.
Service is a consistent strength, particularly when customers need help choosing from the many kunafa styles. For a smaller shared portion, one reviewer found the mini Kunefe Kheshne suitable for two. Parking was reported as free directly outside for one hour in September 2024.
There are two practical cautions. A June 2026 customer found the kaak kunafa listed at AED 20 but charged AED 22, so check the price before paying. The same recent review reported no indoor seating during hot weather; seating conditions may be worth confirming before you go.
