Mahmoud Knaffe

A take-away counter in Wadi Nisnas specialising in knafeh — the syrup-soaked cheese pastry topped with crushed pistachio that is the great dessert of the Levant. Trays come out of the oven every few minutes and the line moves fast.

Cash only; eat it standing up on the pavement. Best in the late afternoon when the first wave of bakeries has refreshed their stock.
