“ This is hands down the best sweet shop I’ve ever visited. They offer a wide variety of high-quality sweets. The last time I was here, the lady treated me with great respect and was so kind that she even gave me a sample of one of the sweets to try. During our trip this week, I stayed overnight in Illinois just to get more Kunafa. It’s absolutely the best. This is the finest kunafa I’ve ever had and the lady here today, and I believe her son were super nice to me. I highly recommend this place. Check out the photo for the Mistika gelato! It tastes so good! ”
“ Great authentic middle eastern sweets, friendly and kind staff. You can eat there one piece, or take away to the family. One of the best places in chicago. ”
“ First let’s start with how amazing and sweet the owner is. I got there at 9:50. I live in Rockford, but had to bring someone to Chicago and I was super hungry. I got here for desserts and she didn’t have knafeh she said I’m so sorry I close in 10 mins so me thinking he she wasn’t selling anything she still had some stuff I can’t remember the name of any of it but the one with pistachio is my absolute favorite and the one with coconut is really good as well. If you don’t like coconut you will not like it. She even gave me 2 free items. She told me come back anytime. She was sooooo sweet and explained every dessert to me which was sweet. Thank you for taking me even though you closed in 10 mins it meant a lot to me. I suggest if you haven’t went here do go. She’s well worth it and the prices are amazing for sizes I spent 9 dollars on 2 desserts and a Salam coke. ”
