About Knafeh Nabulseyeh

Coburg’s go-to for Palestinian knafeh turns out warm, house-made cheese pastry tailored with coarse vermicelli or smooth semolina crusts. Pastry and cheese are made by hand on site, baked until the crust snaps under the fork and doused in fragrant syrup. Regulars drop in late for communal trays topped with crushed pistachio, balancing the sweet pull with strong Arabic coffee or brewed herbal sage tea. Savory cravings get settled with chicken shawarma wraps or crisp falafel tucked into fresh flatbread.

  • Authentic Nabulsi Knafeh: Pastry and traditional cheese are crafted in-house, baked fresh with customizable coarse or smooth crusts.
  • Traditional Beverage Pairings: Communal platters pair naturally with slow-brewed Arabic coffee and hot sage tea.
  • Savory Street Eats: Freshly spiced chicken shawarma wraps and made-to-order falafel balance out the sweet pastry trays.

  • Coarse Knafeh

    You can get it coarse or smooth (the latter is denser I reckon), layered with either cheese or pistachio or both. Super satisfying sweet treat with a Turkish coffee.
