Todays Foodie Tip: Kunafa by Kadokya

“The kunafa was perfectly crispy on the outside, with that golden, buttery crunch giving way to a luscious, gooey cheese center. The syrup was just the right amount of sweet, soaking into every layer without being overwhelming. The generous dusting of pistachios on top added that extra nutty flavor and a satisfying texture.”

My verdict: DO TRY

Address: Rose Park Hotel - Sheikh Zayed Rd - Al Barsha - Al Barsha 1 - Dubai - United Arab Emirates
