Kaneffi

Kaneffi sits on Chapel Street in Windsor, at the relaxed southern end of Melbourne's most famous dining-and-shopping strip. A dessert spot specialising in Middle Eastern sweets — including the warm, gooey delight of kunafa — it's earned a strong reputation for its indulgent, distinctive treats, offering something a little different on a busy strip.

The appeal is that focus on authentic, beautifully made Middle Eastern desserts in a relaxed, characterful setting, perfect for a sweet treat after a meal or while exploring Chapel Street. The distinctive offering gives it a genuine point of difference, and it's clearly resonated with dessert lovers seeking something special.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, seasonal specials, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular dessert spot gets busy in the evenings and on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a casual Middle Eastern dessert, you can usually just drop in and see what's tempting on the day while soaking up the Chapel Street buzz.
