The Best Middle Eastern Restaurants to Try in Chicago’s Southwest Suburbs

"Arab sweets are out of this world and chief among them is knafeh, a pastry filled with a briny Palestinian Akkawi cheese doused in a lovely rose water syrup and topped with pistachios. At Prince, you can also get knafeh with semolina flour orkadaif, which is a thin vermicelli noodle that is crushed and tossed with ghee. You can also pick up basboosa (a cornmeal cake soaked in syrup featuring a variety of toppings) and ma’amoul (with walnut and date varieties). Another favorite is a Palestinian specialty called karakiyya, a fried dough with sesame and syrup." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad

A Guide to the Middle Eastern Restaurants in Chicago’s Southwest Suburbs

"In the realm of Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian, and Syrian desserts, knafa is the best known in either its na’ima or khishna forms (na’ima being made with semolina and khishna with knafa or kadaif pastry; a thin vermicelli-like noodle). Prince has both, with its distinctive dark orange, along with other well known classics, including three different kinds of basboosa or harissa (a cornmeal cake soaked in syrup featuring a variety of toppings), and ma’amoul (with walnut and date varieties). Prince also features Palestinian regional specialties, like karakiyya, a thin-fried dough dotted with black seed and sesame soaked in syrup." - N.A. Mansour

Tried their Kunafeh today and it was not as warm as it should be. I can not give them more than 2 stars. unfortunately, their kunafeh quality has gown down over the years.

Had such a great time, I’m Mexican but this place felt like home! The staff was very nice and the best part was the food!

I’ve been there two years ago. It was more fresh and great customer service, and They had all type of sweetness. My friend and I went there yesterday , guy behind the counter aggressively Spoke to us neither wearing a mask nor gloves. however, all the sweetness behind the glass exposed .

Very appropriate sweat content of sweets. Not too sweat or drenched in syrup. Loved the soft Kunafae and different Baklava varieties. Wish got to know the specific names to mention but any type of Baklava will be a safe bet. Will recommend.

The palce is dirty and sticky. The servers are rude and not made for customer service. Very disappointed with the service. Usualy in an Arabic sweets palce, the serves are extra nice and very polite. Not in this place. Note to the owner: if you know anything about good customer service, please spend a week with your employees and see how they work with your customers.

Conveniently located right off Harlem with other Arab dining nearby. They have a decent selection. I’ve never seen them busy though the store is usually empty but it’s been around for a while now. Got some baklava after lunch down the block it was ok nothing wow, will try out some of their other sweets in the future. Typical monotone customer service but the guy was nice.

This is the place if you're looking for Middle Eastern sweets! Over 30 varieties of desserts, knaffe Baclava and cookies. They have boxes you can choose and fill and they will price it of you. I bought a big box for a potluck: see picture and it was around $40.

I was surprised at all the comments because Prince's knafeh is best around. I must say, i never sat inside, I only pick up and leave but still the man is always nice enough to me. Love love all the different kanefeh he has and it's definitely worth the drive from blo-no.

I'm a big fan of basbousa/harissa, so I was disappointed to discover that my old haunt Albasha Sweets went downhill. I've tried other Middle Eastern dessert places in this area, but can' t say I was blown away by any one place. I do feel that every time I go to Prince Sweets the desserts are pretty good, so I decided to do a fun little experiment. I looked at all the dessert places in the area and found one I had never been to -- Nablus Sweets. I went there and got a couple pieces of basbousa (and my wife got some knafeh). I then went to Prince Sweets and got one piece each of three different types of basbousa: plain, coconut, and nut-topped. After getting home I made myself a cup of herbal tea and had a basbousa showdown. First I tried Nablus' basbousa. It was nice and moist. It had a nice texture, but it crumbled apart pretty easily. It was sweet enough without being cloyingly so. In short, it was very good. My wife liked it, too. I then tried a bit of each of Prince's basbousa. I noticed that Prince's version is harder and holds together better, but that it's also sweeter since it's drenched with more simple syrup. Having a variety was nice, but it's hard to say definitely whether Nablus or Prince is better. Both are very good. In fact, I'd say these are the top two Middle Eastern dessert places in this area as of right now. If you want sweeter, then go with Prince. They have a bigger variety of desserts there, too. But if you want something traditional, sophisticated, and subtly sweet, then go with Nablus. Both offer nice desserts. The parking is tight at Nablus, but the interior feels more welcoming. Service seems friendlier at Nablus, too. Parking isn't great at Prince, either. If price is a concern, Prince is cheaper (average $2/piece vs Nablus' average $3.50/piece).

I used to love coming here and they have this board on the wall that measures how much you can purchase for that price. I have seen the prices go from $15 to $20 to $25 now 30$ for that same sized styrofoam plate. I went in there tonight and the man with the scar on his forehead tells me no now it is by weight. He tells me only certain ones can go on his styrofoam plate. WHAT A SCAMMER! Every time I go in there I am getting overcharged. The guy makes it up as he goes on. I asked him 3 times when did it go by weight on only certain desserts and finally he says a few weeks ago BULL! It is not worth the hassle or the price and the scar guy is a total woman hater.

All items are so good, ( at least the ones i tried) but they're not friendly, they need to practice smiling , only for that reason i stopped going there . There are many others in the area.

If you are looking for the best middle eastern sweets and pastries, look no further. You will enjoy an authentic experience in terms of delightful flavor as well as the interior atmosphere and ambience. Knafe is the go to desert, of course but we can't leave without an order of other favorites including warbat and halawa bil jibn. This is always our first stop when we are in Chi town.

I'm fair & reasonable with my score/review(s). Anywhere I walk into, I keep an open mind and acknowledgement. Here is my Review and why I scored 4/5 STAFF- Friendly, No new faces. I have been coming to this local bakery since I was a boy. The staff has been here for ages. SWEETS- Never Disappointed! PRICE- A bit on the pricey scale, compared to other local businesses... But it is what it is. I will continue my business with Prince's in order to support this local business. Ramadan Mubarak!

Best 3owaymat. Loved it. 3owaymat and Turkish baklava are the only things we tasted so I am not sure about the rest of their offerings. But everything look good.

Bad attitude, bad service. Their sweets tasted old. The guy was touching the money then the sweets without washing his hands or put gloves on , and no mask. Nasty service . Perhaps because I am a female. I do NOT recommend this business.

Every time I go to this place, I always get the freshest sweets from this place. Its such an authentic experience of the middle east! If this is your first time eating middle eastern sweets, I recommened either just asking what the most fresh sweets are, or the Iwami, which is always great with coffee Pro Tip: this place will usually let you sample any sweet you want before ordering. Be careful to not get too full!!

I have to say even thou the sweets were the best ive had the customer service def lacks! Came in here on Wednesday about 3pm. After being recommended to this place I decided to try it out since I was in the area and love kunafe! Upon arriving there was a gentlemen sitting down on the phone. After looking around he finally helped me and asked what i would like briskly. He seemed he was to busy on the phone rather than with the customer. I felt rushed, i had questions about sweets i never seen but he was in such a rush i didn't even get to ask. The over all sweets were really good! But due to the lack of customer service I most likely wont return.

Middle eastern sweet shops are on every few blocks here in bridgeview. I've tried all of them and usually they are a hit or miss, not consistent. Prices are same as the others but I feel like the taste is better here, they are not drenched in syrup to cover the flavors like the other shops. I just love the knafe, warbat and awama here. I also will recommend the bakalava it's good! Many of times I have bought mixed trays for friends and family that can be picky when it comes to middle eastern sweets. Usually it's a hit when I do! The Guys are usually nice too, they take debit and cash. I'm here at least every two weeks only because it's a drive here. But I make sure to stop when I drive through the area.

This is definitely the most authentic kanafeh I've had in/around Chicago. I've tried several but this is the closest to the kanafeh in Palestine and Nablus. The service was also great - the people there were very friendly and helpful. I'm so happy I can stop searching for kanafeh near Chicago - this will be my go-to place from now on!

One of the best places I've had for all Arabic / Middle Eastern sweets. KanaFeh is my favorite. They have a selection of many Arabic sweets. Highly recommended.

My family comes here frequently and orders knafeh for all types of occasions. They were our go to until today. We placed an order far in advance for a tray of knafeh with extra cheese and extra crispy. When I came to pick it up the place smelled amazing and the guy in the front was sweet and offered me samples. I picked up my order and went home. When we were serving sweets, the way the knafeh looked, I knew it wasn't right. I took the first bite and couldn't even chew it, I was grossed out. It was paper thin, barely any cheese let alone was mixed with geshta when we requested it only be cheese. It wasn't crispy as all whatsoever. I called thinking that I was given the wrong order by accident, the "owner" snapped on me on the phone and offered me $5 back. It wasn't about the money, but the embarrassment and disappointment we felt serving it. Very unprofessional and rude. Won't be coming back.

10/10 experience! Haven't had good knafeh in years, until I came here... the service was amazing and the sweets were even better. THEY NEED TO OPEN A LOCATION IN CALI ASAP!!!!

Amazing sweets, one of the best Kunafa and Kunafa Rolls I've ever had! I will be coming back.

The awama was amazing. The knafa, both ways, was delish. For sure an amazing first time experience. Amazing. Cannot wait to return everything looked delicious.

Bekmat R.

Nice and sweet bakery. If you like Arabian sweet, this is the place to go. But the service needs to be improved. A little rude and dissatisfied attitude towards the visitor. It seems like the seller doesn't want to sell his sweets. It is necessary to improve the quality of service and everything will be fine. Otherwise visitors can forget about this place.

Placed a order on some sweets. And had some of the knafa, and it was really good. And the owner is very nice.

I live in Chicago, I've tried every sweet shop up north. I've even gotten stuff from Wisconsin and Michigan. I have never had the Knafah that I have had here. Very fresh and very flavorful. I drive down once a month just to get the Knafah. I've only discovered this place back in November 2017. It is not expensive as what some people say, trust me. I've paid 28$ for 2 pieces of psuedo knafah up in Albany park, I paid half that for 4 pieces in bridgeview at prince sweets. This is the place for Knafah hands down. Khishnah gang. I dont like anything else there, I've got other places for other sweets.

Best knafeh hands down. I've tried plenty of places in the area and nothing compares to Prince. They're always consistent and fresh every time. I highly recommend checking them out! They won't disappoint!

PrinceSweets in Bridgeview IL is by far the best sweets ever!. I go there almost every week and I drive about 50 minutes just to buy sweets from this place. They use best cheese in Kanafeh. Also the Mamoul is very tasty, my kids love it.
