Our Story

We have travelled the world, experienced many cultures, and tasted the delights of many countries, but none stole our hearts  more than the Middle East. Our inspiration drove us to bring our passion and love for this style of food to customers in India.  We created a kitchen, specially formulated to use the best quality produce from the Middle East, under the supervision of  expert Jordanian and Syrian chefs to make the richest, authentic bite-sized delicacies.  

 

In March 2012, we launched our delicious and decadent confectionary shop at 70 Meharchand market, Lodhi Colony, New  Delhi, and began serving the best quality Middle Eastern sweets, coffee and gifts. Now, in 2018, we have opened our first  souk-inspired cafe, servingour signature range of confectionary plus an abundance of fresh mezze and savouries.  Our food and drinks have ardent admirers all over the country and are sought after from far and many. Our greatest joy lays  in the wonder, appreciation and admiration of a single walk-in customer and over the years seeing them become regulars at  our little spot in the city. Food retailers and distributors, hotels, event management companies, caterers, and even corporates have all been regular patrons of our brand and choose to endorse the art of gift giving through our sweetened packages.  

 

It is a dream come true to be living our passion by bringing the best of Middle Eastern food and drink to India. We are proud to be the landmark symbol for authentic Middle Eastern desserts in the capital.  

 

At Kunafa, we take pride in our ingredients and offer you the chance to buy  these premium foods and drinks.  

 

From dates and figs, baklava, pastry, honey, coffee, tea to incense and fragrances, all inspired by our  experiences of the Middle East. Our dates are handpicked from local date farms in Jericho, Palestine  and are renowned to be the largest and juiciest in the world!  

 

Turkey plays home to our figs, edible flower teas and fragrant coffee. Our honey  is the product of a secret Jordanian method. All these are the key components of our extensive  range of baklava, offered to you in a variety of shapes and sizes.  The lasting shelf life of each of these items allows you to appreciate it for months. 

 

Thank you for being part of our ever growing journey.

Our Story

At Kunafa, we bring you the very best of the Middle East at our contemporary souk cafes. Enthused with Middle Eastern charm and allure, each corner burstswith flavour, style, and texture from some of the most exciting regions of the world. We roamed the souks in Beirut, scoured the bazaars of Istanbul and ambled through the madinats of Marrakech where each passageway was a mystery waiting to be uncovered and each cornerhad a story to tell. We unearthed these secrets and charms of retro Arabia, and threw in the smells of fresh mint, coffee and warm pita, to bring to you the allure of classic cooking with a contemporary touch. We created a kitchen, specially formulated to use the best quality produce from the Middle East, under the supervision of expert Jordanian, Lebanese, and Syrian chefs to make the richest, authentic bite-sized delicacies. 

On our travels to different Middle Eastern countries, we observed that the souk, or marketplace, a typical sight common and intrinsic to Arabic culture and dealing, encompassed all the elements of joy and celebration, becoming a melting pot of trade.Here in these rustic, centuries old bazaars, people from all walks of life still conduct their daily rituals of dining, browsing, buying and selling which cements their communities together – it is a feast for the eyes and senses, and gives a glimpse of the extensive and beautiful Arabic culture through a single visit. In a similar way, we at Kunafa wish to recreate a modern- day souk concept, incorporating other aspects of our vision that will make the experience truly unique and charming.

Kunafa was founded in 2011 with a foray into the Indian market with sweets. Our confectionary store launched at 70 Meharchandmarket, Lodhi Colony, New Delhi in March 2012 and  quickly became a landmark and benchmark for premium quality baklava, dates figs and Turkish delight. Our sweets, tea and coffee were sought after from far and many and our admirers started spanning the country. Our greatest joy lays in the wonder, appreciation and admiration of a single walk-in customer and over the years seeing them become regulars at our little spot in the city. Food retailers and distributors, hotels, event management companies, caterers, and even corporates have all been patrons of our brand and have chosen to endorse the art of gift giving through our sweetened packages. In August 2019, we opened our first souk-inspired café at the Gallery on MG,adding to our signature range of confectionary with an abundance of fresh mezzes and savouries. 

Vision

Our vision for the future involves in making Kunafa aneveryday name when it comes to all Arabic delicacies. Our goal is to expand our line of curated products, make additions to our menu and create a flagship space and brand presence among outlets.Our passion and love for the flavour and ingredients along with an extensive curated selection of exciting products from the many ‘bazaars’ will add to the intrigue and allure of the Middle Eastern charm. With a natural affinity for kebabs and sweets and with a growing awareness for healthy eating, the Indian market and Arabic cuisine have a natural synergy waiting to be explored.
