"Crispy, floral, sweet, nutty, stretchy cheese. Those words by themselves should be enough to get you excited about Tanoreen’s knafeh, a dessert with a serious cult following. You must order this when you go, but it shouldn’t be the only sweet thing you order. We’re also obsessed with the sahlab custard, flavored with mastic that tastes like about a dozen different things and also like nothing else you’ve ever tasted. You probably want some date cookies semolina cake as well. Since the savory food here is some of the best in Brooklyn, we recommend coming with a big group so you can have a little of everything.
