Book NowAbout Medina Sweets
Guildford locals head here for balanced Lebanese pastries and fresh knafeh straight off the counter. The staff greet you with generous samples before you even pick a tray, making it easy to navigate the crowded pastry cases. Trays rotate through classic baklava, mafroukeh, and maamoul mad bi ashta—its clotted cream filling tucked beneath a crumbly semolina crust and doused in rose sugar syrup. Beyond the classic filo and semolina staples, the counter displays over thirty varieties of Turkish delight, from nutty pistachio cubes to Lotus Biscoff. Sweet cheese knafeh is warmed to order on request, releasing a gentle cheese pull beneath a light drizzle of syrup.
- Countertop tastings: Staff routinely hand out tastings across the counter before you commit to a box or platter.
- Expansive confectionery selection: The lineup features classic syrup pastries alongside more than thirty distinct flavours of Turkish delight.
- Fresh ashta pastries: Prepared with clotted cream filling and semolina crust, finished with fragrant rose sugar syrup.

Joss Mafroukeh

Mostapha Abdallah Knafa bi Jebna
The Knafa bi Jebna (cheese Knafa) at $38 was also made really well, made with quality sweet cheese which was smooth & light with a beautiful cheese pull, it just needs to be heated & drizzled with syrup.
Reza Baz Maamoul Mad Bi Ashta
I tried the Ma3moul mad bi ashta priced $37 a kilo, taste just like the original Knefa only sweeter with a thicker semolina crust & sprinkled with pistachios.
