How one craving turned into a guide for food lovers everywhere.

Wherever you are, eat something wonderful.

Kunafa AI was created by Ahmad Mohanad Bakkar with one simple belief: no one should settle for a forgettable meal just because they don't know the area.

We named it after kunafa — the golden, cheese-filled, syrup-soaked dessert loved across the Middle East. It's warm, generous and impossible to forget. That's how we want every food discovery to feel.

Kunafa AI blends local food knowledge with artificial intelligence. Share your location, tell us your mood, and we'll show you the dishes and restaurants worth your time.
