Kataifi & kunafa machines

A kataifi machine spins batter into the hair-thin, crisp pastry strands behind kunafa and the shredded shell of Dubai-style chocolate. Batter is dosed onto a heated griddle, spun into fine noodles and roasted golden, so a production line gets a steady supply instead of drizzling it by hand.

Frequently asked questions

What does a kataifi machine actually do?

It doses batter onto a heated rotating griddle, spins it into hair-thin strands and roasts them crisp — the step that is otherwise done by hand-drizzling batter over a hot plate.

Is this what Dubai chocolate bars are filled with?

Yes — the shredded shell in those bars is kataifi, toasted and mixed with pistachio cream. Same strands as kunafa.

Gas or electric?

Both are available, specified to your site's utilities. Tell us your target output per hour and we'll match the model and heating.

What is this machine actually called?

Half a dozen names for the same spinning plate: a kataifi making machine, a kunafa dough making machine, a kunafa dough maker, a knafeh pastry machine. It is also asked for as a dubai chocolate machine, because that bar is what most buyers now want the threads for — the machine itself has been making knafeh for a century.
