Kataifi as it should taste – fresh, handmade and without compromise
Our kataifi dough is more than just a product – it is a craft with roots in Syria and a future in Sweden. Fresh, handmade and free of preservatives, it is created for those of you who seek authentic taste and quality. With every thread, we carry on a tradition, and lift it to a new level.
Our kataifi dough – a living craft with roots in tradition
Kataifi, or kunafa dough, is one of the most characteristic and beloved components of oriental dessert cuisine. The fine-grained dough is used in everything from crispy desserts to creamy pastries and has carried a taste of home, celebration and care for generations.
At Al Badr Kunafa, we have taken this ancient tradition and woven our own story into every thread.
A dough with history
Kataif pastry originated in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean, where it has been used for centuries to create elegant, elaborate desserts. From Damascus to Cairo, from Beirut to Istanbul, it has been a symbol of sophistication and pride everywhere. It is not just a pastry – it is a culture.
We have carried this heritage with us from Syria to Sweden. Not just the technology, but the respect. Not just the form, but the soul.
An answer to something that was missing
When we arrived in Sweden after the horrors of the war, we quickly discovered that there was a demand for kataifi – but not the one we knew. What was in the shops was a far cry from the dough we were used to working with. It was tired, heavy, anonymous. Imported, stored, lost.
We wanted to do something different. Something alive. We wanted to show what kataifi can taste like – when it is made with love, knowledge and respect for the raw material.
That's why our kataifi dough is different
There are many people who sell kataifi, but few who truly understand what it takes to make it good. For us, it’s not a sideline – it’s the core of our business. Our dough is created in Sweden, but with a heart from Homs. It’s the result of decades of experience, refined with every batch we produce.
We work on a small scale, with a sense for every detail. It's not factory production – it's craftsmanship. A living product that breathes freshness, precision and pride. And it shows – in the taste, in the structure, in the result.
For those who refuse to compromise
Our kataifi dough is chosen by restaurants, pastry shops and home bakers looking for that little extra. Those who know that quality starts with the basics. Those who want to work with a product that responds to their hands – not works against them.
It's not about being the biggest. It's about being the best at what you do. And we do kataifi.
A craft that carries a story
When you choose our dough, you're not just choosing a product. You're choosing a legacy that has survived war, loss and restart. You're choosing a family business that has built something from nothing – with the same hands that once baked in Homs, we now bake in Skåne.
You choose a promise of authenticity, craftsmanship and taste.
That's what sets us apart from the rest.
