The Middle Eastern cheese pastry kunafah is soaked in a sweet, sugar-based syrup. It is known by different name like as Kanafah (Arabic: كنافة kunāfah, Turkish: künefe, Azerbaijani: ریشته ختایی riştə xətayi, Greek: κανταΐφι kadaïfi/kataïfi, Hebrew: כנאפה knafeh), The pastry is heated in butter, margarine, palm oil, or Ghee before being covered with a soft white cheese like mozzarella or akkawi. During the last few minutes of cooking, a thick syrup (made of sugar, water, and a few drops of rose water and lemon juice) is poured over the pastry. Crushed pistachios are sprinkled on top as a garnish. In middle east , used to eat with vanilla ice cream .
