Kunafa: The Sweet, Cheesy Middle Eastern Sensation
June 15, 2025
Kunafa is a classic Middle Eastern dessert, celebrated for its buttery vermicelli-like pastry, gooey cheese, and fragrant syrup.
Dating back to the Abbasid era in 10th‑century Baghdad, kunafa became a royal treat before spreading across the Arab world. Exception preserves this centuries-old art with premium ingredients and modern flair.
