👋 Shafaq here! After I watched "Mo," I had to get my hands on some Palestinian kunafa — and luckily, it's becoming a little easier to find in Houston.
Dig in: Mom's Kunafa is dishing out the classic dessert from a food truck, offering both traditional and creative twists. The owner started by making kunafa at home and selling it through local shops before launching her own truck.
My experience: The warm kunafa ($10) had a crisp, buttery top with a soft, almost-silky cheese pull inside. The kunafa was topped with pistachios and sugar syrup, adding just the right amount of sweetness.
For chocolate lovers, Mom's Kunafa also has a Nutella version ($8). And if you're after something even more indulgent, the Dubai brownie ($12) is deeper and richer than a triple chocolate brownie's wildest dreams.
If you go: Boat Basin food truck park at 14631 Beechnut St.
