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.
