I subbed when you only had a few thousand subscribers, but I knew this channel was going to blow up. I’m just glad you’re keeping it how it was when you first started. The people are just as important as the food and I’m glad you are making people the star of the show, as well.

I must admit it. Konafeh nabulsia كنافة نابلسبة is a top tier dessert.
Love it ❤❤❤❤

[JS-zndh]

Can’t believe you’re in Bridgeview! Grew up around there. Thanks for venturing out a little and supporting their business.

Knafeh is a one of a kind dessert. Truly nothing like it.

[maxwellschulz]

Stumbled in here - it was spectacular. I was used to Shatilla in Dearborn, MI and this lived up it. Amazing!

[BoschGuy]

That first sweet he had is Definitely a must try if you considering to do so!❤❤

[Collin]

Just spent an hour looking up knafeh recipes. Love this channel — *this* is why I love to travel. Thanks for sharing.

[saneelat.]

Your videos are truly like a warm hug! Thank you for representing incredible Palestinian cuisine! It’s genuinely so uplifting to see how many cultures and traditions you bring to light/highlight in your shorts! 💗

Have eaten knefeh my whole life but it's my first time seeing the machinery used to make it. Super cool ✨

[sobhi]

Kenafeh is my soulmate. When I'm happy, sad, angry, excited, or whatever, it's always there for me😋😋
