"A 70-year-old downtown institution famed for Palestinian-style knafeh made with brined white cheese (Nabulsieh/Akkawi), drenched in rose-water syrup and topped with pistachios. Visitors often queue from the tiny alley to the main street to choose between knishneh (crunchy kadaif noodles) and naameh (soft semolina crust) versions—many recommend trying both." - Yulia Denisyuk
