About Kunafa Crisp
Kunafa Crisp has ridden the Middle Eastern dessert wave that swept through Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Bintang precinct. The speciality is kunafa — a pastry made from shredded filo dough layered with a stretchy cheese filling, soaked in sweet syrup and served warm. The crisp exterior contrasts with the molten, stringy interior in a way that translates well to video and to the palate. Baklava, Turkish ice cream and milkshakes round out the menu.
Kunafa portions cost RM15 to RM35 depending on size and toppings. The Bukit Bintang location is halal and stays open until 3 am daily, making it one of the latest-operating dessert spots in the area. The late hours and the proximity to Changkat Bukit Bintang make it a natural stop after a night out. The shop sits within the heart of the Bukit Bintang Arab quarter, surrounded by other Middle Eastern restaurants and cafes.

The kunafa was crispy on the outside with a molten, stretchy cheese filling inside — the texture contrast is addictive. RM25 for the medium portion with pistachio topping. The sweet syrup soaking into the shredded filo dough is perfectly balanced.

Came at midnight after drinks at Changkat and it was still busy. Open until 3 am daily, which makes it one of the latest dessert spots in Bukit Bintang. The baklava was good too — flaky and generously filled with nuts. Halal certified. Portions at RM15 to RM35.

The cheese pull when you cut into the kunafa is genuinely impressive. The Turkish ice cream had a satisfying chewy texture. Located right in the heart of the Bukit Bintang Arab quarter, surrounded by other Middle Eastern spots.

Tried the kunafa with Nutella topping at RM30 — rich and indulgent. The milkshakes are thick and creamy. Best eaten warm, straight from the counter. The late-night hours and proximity to Changkat make it a natural post-bar dessert stop.

The warm kunafa with stretchy cheese and sweet syrup is a dessert that translates well to video and tastes even better in person. At RM15 to RM35 depending on size, it is good value for a shareable dessert. Halal and open very late.
