Knafeh
Across Sydney
Heard of Knafeh? If you haven't you don't know what you're missing out on. They serve a sugary sweet creamy dessert that is served hot and is simply delicious.
But there's more to it than just the food. The bearded bakers at Knafeh basically put on dessert and a show for you from their food truck. There's music, singing and a lot of humour too.
People crowd around simply to watch the antics of this entertaining eatery. You order at the counter, they take your name and you move back and wait to be called. They often give you a nickname - they guy in front had long hair, beard and sandals and his order was listed as being for Jesus!
The creamy sweet dessert is dolloped into a container, sprayed with something (presumably sweet), sprinkled with pistachio shards and put through something like a conveyor belt pizza oven. In no time at all it's out the other side and ready!
This Middle Eastern dessert is worth travelling for. It's so tasty and you really do need to order one each because once you try it you won't want to share! Come for the food, stay for the entertainment. Have fun!
