Yafa Knafeh in Birmingham

Very good customer service and Knafeh tasted beautiful. Great selection of sweets and there is a spacious area upstairs. Only downside, when we visited the toilet which is located upstairs was out of order, so we couldn’t wash our hands.. wet wipes should’ve been provided.

Very nice sweet & amazing customer service, thank you all 👍🏼

The creamiest and cheesiest, perfectly sweet kunafeh.

Great knafeh, beautiful interior and polite staff

I had Knafeh in Saudi Arabia, Syria and other Arab countries And even in London. All the shops selling Knafeh asks the customer if you want the sugar syrup on the Knafeh or separate. The guy serving on the counter never asked and they put too much sugar syrup on the Knafeh when I complained to the shop owner he was really rude and said well that's how it is served everywhere and never even offered an apology. So we ended up wasting our money. It was the worst experience of my life

amazing food! the personnel are extremely nice and welcoming, would 100% recommend🤍🤍

Very friendly staff and great food, we will be back soon!

The best kunafa I had ever. The staff is really nice, friendly and are just amazing.

Very nice personnel, helpful and CLEAN. You can never go wrong with any drinks and the pastries are Tasty 😋

Authentic. Especially the knafeh's cheese quality. It would be great if they start making knafeh na'meh (ناعمة)

Friendly people :) and absolutely fantastic food!

One of the best place in Birmingham to have Kunafa

. I recently revisited the establishment, but this time my experience was extremely disappointing. The customer service was shockingly rude and unprofessional, making the visit unpleasant from the start. The butter used for the kunafa tasted very cheap, and the cheese was outright rotten. The taste and smell were unbearable, rendering the kunafa inedible. As a Palestinian, I know how it should taste with better quality butter. Initially, when the shop opened, everything was of top quality, but gradually, the standards have declined. The kunafa and baklava, once incredibly amazing, are no longer the same. It used to be my favorite place, not just for the taste but also to interact with the lovely staff. Regrettably, I cannot recommend this place to anyone seeking a pleasant dessert experience. Save your money and find a place that values both its customers and the quality of its products. I give 1 STAR for the Turkish tea only.

Decent place nothing wow but does the job turkish tea was decent but they forgot to add the mint and the kanafeh was decent, very limited seating but overall decent place.

One of the best Knafehs I have had so far in the Midlands ,, However in my opinion their Baqlawas are Indeed the best 👍 Friendly staff and nice to eat in too, I will return for more. I recommende

Fantastic coffee and dessert spot! The staff were incredibly friendly, making this visit a delight. Perfect for a cozy afternoon treat with delicious sweets and expertly brewed coffee. Highly recommend!

Poor service. Stood there for 5 mins in an empty shop and they wouldn’t serve me. Walked out, waste of time.

If you're going to provide toilet for customers to use, please ensure its kept clean. The basin was filthy, no hand wash and broken hand dryer. Knafeh is ok, not too bad. The baklava was atrocious, the bottom layer was as tough as old boots. The juice was half foam, literally. The table was soo slippery, it was a struggle to keep the plates still. We were struggling to cut our knafeh whilst fighting to keep the plates still. We did not enjoy our experience at all. Only plastic utensils provided, no metal or even plastic knife.

The kunafeh I ordered was delicious and lived up to its reputation. The portion size was incredibly generous, with the large size easily serving more than ten people, rather than the five I had anticipated.

Food was very nice. The kunafa was so delicious and tasty. Would definitely recommend!

I tried the tea, different cakes, sweet and Ferrero rocher icecream. All of them were top top top. The service was amazing too

Decided to come in whilst walking down Coventry road, and it was well worth it. Starting off, the place was very clean and inviting. The staff were helpful and treated us good. However, the sweets were absolutely delicious! I wasn't expecting them to be as good as they were but they really exceeded my expectations. The milkshake could do with a little bit of work (more ice cream to milk) but it was still good. Will definitely return if in the area.

First time, and it was amazing. Lovely staff 👌

The prices are a bit high. I order some desserts baklava not knowing the price when I asked the young lady the price of the dessert plates, she didn't know she let me choose then packed it then told me the price which was more then she estimated in the first place. I was to embarrassed to say no at that point!

Assalamu alaikum Ma shaa Allah nice Food remind you are in Jerusalem.

Crispy tasty kunafa reminds you of being in an Arab country. Turkish coffee is too good as well

Beautiful and tasty Knafeh and drinks. Will visit again when in Birmingham. Lovely people.

Visited Yafa Knafeh over the weekend after overhearing about a “knafeh place on Coventry Road”. After a quick Google search, we deduced that this must be the place. I am so glad we found this joint, because this was one of the best knafehs I have ever had. I believe each of the cheese knafehs is freshly made and the prices were very reasonable. In fact we got a medium and we were surprised it was so big! We also got each one of the biscuits to try. They were tasty, but for me the nut maamouls could have had more filling and more a touch more flavour. But that is personal preference after all. I am known to like my orange blossom and rose water, whereas others might find it too strong. Still a worthy 5 star. We also had the chocolate basbousa which was again, very tasty and very decadent. Polished by my boys… I barely got a look in. Speaks for itself really. The place itself has beautiful decor and is kept very clean and tidy indeed. I just wish there were labels with names and prices for each of the bakery items.

Best baklava and best taste just communication can be improved . Good for events and parties too.

Such tasty hot knafe very good packing always order from here hope they will maintain the service

Nice milkshake Very clean Tasty sweets Cappuccino has no taste at all Staff don’t seem friendly

Great selection of sweets with exceptional taste. The fresh juices are also very nice.

Best knafeh ever absolutely amazing!

Oh boy, what a treat! First time and it was amazing Hot tastey and fast. Can’t wait to be back here to try other things.

Best Middle Eastern sweet shop I’ve been to in the uk.

Best kunafeh in the uk highly recommended Nicely filled with cheese and butter with separate or with it

Amazing hidden Gem. Ordered fresh made to order Knafeh and Mint Tea which was amazing. Lovely seating area.

I had the green tea with mint and I can say that at home I drink it better, I didn't like it at all. I got a large baklav but they didn't have the cutlery to cut it and it was very difficult to eat it.

FRESHLY MADE KUNAFE, SO SO TASTY AND CUTE LIL HUB TO DINE IN. RECOMMENDED

All ways a pleasure to come here and enjoy real Palestinian 🇵🇸 food

This is an Arabic sweet centre serving a variety of middle eastern sweets, hot and cold drinks. The premises are clean and beautifully presented. The staff are polite and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a sweet tooth and wants to try something different. There is a selection of sweets containing nuts deliciously roasted. My family loves their signature sweet dish knafeh. There is seating available inside the shop for a quick coffee break. I think if you take the challenge of visiting once, you will definitely go back again and again.

One of the best knafeh in the uk and maybe the best in the midlands 👍🏼.

The baklava was really nice and well presented with the gift wrapping paper thanks to Abubakar, my aunty loved it

The bakhlava selection is amazing but what's more amazing is the kanafa. Only 1 issue, kanafa wasn't sealed so all the oil/syrup dropped over my clothes!

Hi. I’ve seen the replies you’ve put here, so I’m really not expecting much back. The kanafeh of course was lovely, it’s what I came for and what I brought my friends for. We were 3 women wanting to eat in, me my sister and my friend who travelled here just to try it. When grabbing forks the man at the counter said “eating in?” as if he was shocked and said can you go upstairs please. We did this willingly with no obligation and accepted to go upstairs and we were, we heard the shouts from the kitchen “it’s Ramadan” as if we should not be eating. This made my friend extremely uncomfortable and upset us all because again we went up willingly and understandingly. There was no need to shame us for not fasting because as EVERYONE KNOWS women cannot fast the whole of Ramadan. My friend was very anxious to leave the place and I had to spend 5 minutes coaxing her that it was ok and we exited. Please just be considerate of everyone. I love what you sell and think you have a beautiful business. But this experience has deeply upset us all, I have recommended lots of friends here which is something I don’t feel the need to now.

Not really a Kanafeh fan but they made it fresh and warm. I really enjoyed it while it was warm. Definitely recommend.

I absolutely love baklava & have found it really hard to find good quality authentic baklava that tastes like it should. Well today I found the best I’ve had in the UK. Travelled about 12 miles & had to park about 15 minutes away on foot but I will gladly do it again. Lied it & will definitely be going back many more times. Excellent baklava, excellent customer service & the shop was spotlessly clean. 10/10 from me.

Knafeh (small) was huge. Tasty as well. Will be back and will definitely recommend.

The most disgusting place ever , rude customer service, biklava taste so different than it was before lol they used to buy it from somewhere else. Rats be chilling in and out 🤮🤢 had to leave immediately to check on myself

I can givve the kunafa which I ordered twice from the desert shop as very good it was a proper quality and the delivery was own time so my review by stars was wrong sorry for that and my real review is 5stars

Loved the kunafa and Turkish tea

Amazing experience every was fresh the service was amazing and quick

This is where I usually come to have my turkish coffee and konafha. Unfortunately, today service was very bad. I came around 9pm while they close at 11pm but they refuse to give us a table. I came with others who drove from another city to show them this place but was told its takeaway only cause they are closing! Why! change your timing or something. The staff was not even happy to see us, he was taking our order while taking money from another person and giving food to another, we repeated our order like 3 times, zero attention was given, i even thought at one point did he even know what we want after ordering. Anyhow we decided to sit and eat outside on the benches but the bench was partially went from one end so i requested for the chair they have inside and the staff said straight NO without a single hesitation or excuse. Very rude, very unprofessional bunch of people very poor customer service. Not coming here again.

This place is so good for Arabic sweets, my family always tend to go here for any occasions. We usually buy a couple of trays of mixed baklava that includes small chocolate and caramel ones which are absolutely delicious The service here is top tier as well. I have been a few time and tried various desserts and drinks that they offer, the latest was the actual kunafa which was amazing, the chef made isn’t special for us by making the vermicelli extra smooth with no rough bits which is exactly how we used to have it back home in Palestine, special thanks to the chef for this! It tasted nearly identical. I’d definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious Palestinian sweets, reasonably priced, and always leave you wanting more

Kunefah is very good, you should eat. Tea is good. But baklava could be better.

The baklava wasnt bad but they always have hidden charges. The price changes when you’re about to pay.

Went to get a Knafeh after having our lunch in a nearby restaurant. The restaurant looked very inviting and the guy who took our order was very friendly( Not sure, may be the owner of the shop- not implying he was friendly because of that) I am not very familiar with the Knafeh, so I am not an expert to comment, but it was a treat for us taste buds, me and my kids loved it.

We enjoyed the very comfortable seating environment along with the friendly management and very delicious food. Highly recommend the fresh kunafeh with Turkish tea. Ice cream was very nice and creamy!

I always come here when craving something sweet as I know I’ll find something to satisfy my craving. Various of options to choose from, many kinds of baklava and they also sell the best fresh coffee. I normally get Balah alsham and waraybat but I also tried their pistachio baklava and oush albulbul and they were absolutely amazing! Friendly service. Great seating area on the first floor and outside ( when the weather is nice). If you ever crave stretchy kunafa, this place has the best!

I’ve tried real Palestinian Knafeh and although this was not as good , it was still worth the money and the taste was definitely authentic , I appreciated it that they made it fresh to order as well , so yeah definitely worth a visit.

Some of the best kanafa I've had in my life!

Very bad service by the guy very disrespectful

Nice baklava with turkish tea small pot for 2 people

One of the traditional middle Eastern dessert shop, has a variety of Kanafeh, Biscuits, Coffee and Tea availible, it also has a seating Area upstairs which is very private and maintains a very good atmosphere

Avoid this place; the manager refused to accommodate us, using the excuse of it being a "family-only" policy, even though two of us were already seated and non-family members were present. Unacceptable discrimination in allowing some and refusing others. Additionally, the drinks were cold, but the reception and other staff members provided good service.

The Kunafa is nice (not too sweet). The Baklava is nice with a good selection. For sweets, this is the place! Basically, it's like having a piece of Middle East right in Birmingham!

Lovely palestinian dessert shop. The young lad there is very sweet and helpful. As soon as me and my friend came in, he gave me a few testers and from that we brought a large plate to eat in , and took two smalls to take out because it was that nice. I recommend the nest baklawa with nutella. I would recommend Turkish tea with mint, it was lovely. Definately my new place to go!

The knafeh was incredible, probably one of the best I’ve tried. Perfect sweetness and so cheesy. All fresh and hot when ordered in.

The dessert was nice warm very good service.

لقد زرت هذا المكان وتناولت حلاوة الجبن الطعم لم يكن كما كنت متوقع ولكن الخدمة ممتازة وجيدة سأكرر المجيئ وطلب شي آخر وأتمنى أن يكون الطعم جيد انصح به بشدة فرصة لا تعوض لمن زار شارع العرب في بيرمنغهام أو كوفنتري رود

Best kunafa in town.. freshly made to order with loads of cheese (unlike some places) Great tasting 👍

Tried the medium size traditional kunafah for £8. It is really good , easily shareable among 4 people. Recommended 😊

Lovely Knafeh, great service and amazing selection of baclava.

As far as Knafehs go this place is top notch. Reminds me of the Knafeh you get in Istanbul. Crispy, cheesy, and not overly sweet. I would recommend if you're a fan of the Turkish dessert. Service is quick. Staff are nice. Seating is ok.

Went just before closing time to try the kanafeh first time . Got myself a small and a medium size. Sat in the car and tried a little and oh boy was it so tasty. Took the rest home for family to try and they loved it. I will warn it can be sickly if you have too much in one go. So either share with couple of people or have some and save rest for next day

Probably one of the best Knafehs I've had in the UK. Really good portion size too and not overly sweet. The cheese stayed beautifully soft the whole time. Bought some fresh baklava on the way out to take home that I'm sure will be just as good

Like the store. Pretmuch everything init. Would recommend

Great customer service from khalid

Beautiful fresh kunafah, well recommended

Amazing Knafeh and arab coffee. Best I've had in a long time!

The best dessert is the kunafe and the bakhlava. They have a variety of different middle eastern sweets but not to my taste. The service was quick and staff were friendly. The products look freshly made. In addition to this they also do fresh juices and teas and coffees of all sorts. They have seating outside, so really lovely to sit when the weather is good.

Great quality with a huge variety of items

Beautiful kunafeh, nicely made and served. Will definitely visit the next time I am in Birmingham.

Best kunafe in Birmingham highly recommend trying & very good & fast service too

This is hands down the best Knafeh that I have tasted outside of Palestine

Amazing Kanafeh. Had a takeaway in Ramadan (Apr 23) . I have had many home made Kanafeh straight from the heart of middle east but this is the best I have ever tried. That says a lot. Update (Jul 23) Came last night and this was made fresh was so good. Masha Allah best Kanafeh will always come here.

They are worst people. May Allah destroy them and their business and humilate them in whole world ameen. They missbehaves with women

My recent visit to was nothing short of a nightmare. The customer service was shockingly bad and incredibly rude. From the moment I walked in, the staff seemed disinterested and unwelcoming. The server's attitude was condescending, and he couldn't be bothered to answer our questions or provide any recommendations. They gave us the wrong ice cream cone, and when we asked for a replacement, the server snatched the ice cream and threw it in the bin. We felt insulted and ignored throughout the entire interaction, so we requested a refund and walked away. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.

Was advised by multiple friends and other people that if you want the best Kunafeh then head down to Yafa Knafeh. It's at the start of the infamous Cov Rd and trying to find a parking space day or night is a nightmare 😫. The have a toilet 🚻 downstairs. I purchased a small kunafeh which is £6, you can get a medium one for £8 and it's £10 for a large one. The large is for maybe 4 adults. They have a huge and very expensive pick n mix. I would recommend this place as it looks nice and is reasonably priced compared to other alleged high end dessert parlours.

Delicious, fresh kanafa/kunefe. Worth it.

Was really nice 👌 and the Knafeh was delicious 10/10

طلبت منو كنافة خشنة وكاستين شاي ، بصراحة لذيذة وبرجعلو وشغلو نظيف ، المحل نظيف والقعدات الي فوق نظيفة ، الحمام الله يكركم نظيف. انصح فيه وبقوة.

Price is high which doesn't match the test of desert

Excellent customer service and food quality. Milkshakes are not very good, but the khunafa and the baklava are amazing.

Overpriced and overrated. Do not even try the baklava very hard and oily. Baklavici is the best.

Amazing selection and always fresh. Never disappointed. High y recommend.

Came here during the ramadan souk. One of the BEST kunafas I've ever had in my whole entire life!

Delicious kunafa and desserts with a fantastic customer service and great vibes all around. A must visit for me whenever I'm in/around Birmingham

Excellent quality Baklava and fresh Kunafe. Good customer service. Shame it's in such an awful location. No legitimate parking nearby and during busy times it's an absolute zoo on the roads. There isn't really much of a queuing system in the store. They serve whoever can get served at the counter. Could do with a couple of tables and chairs for those who want to eat fresh Kunafe. Other than that highly recommend this place. Will try and visit again when it's less busy.

Decent Kunafa and a great variety of other sweets and savoury items to try. Desserts not really my thing and the Kunafa I’ve had elsewhere (Kervan Sofrasi and Gokyuzu in London) is better hence the average mark plus service is pleasant but they don’t bring your order to the tables upstairs, you have to go back down to collect it when the buzzer they give you goes off.
