History
Kadayif is of Middle Eastern origin. Medieval Arabic qaṭāʾif is generally regarded as an antecedent of Ottoman and Turkish kadayıf forms, which developed into a broader category of pastries and desserts. In Turkish cuisine, kadayıf came to include several distinct preparations, including tel kadayıf and other regional or finished dessert forms.
