Kadaif, kadayif, kataifi, kadaifi, katayef or kataïf () is a type of shredded filo strands, used in the cooking of many Middle East pastry and desserts, including the Arab world knafeh and Turkey's tel kadayıf. Kadayif looks like fine noodles, similar to vermicelli, cooked and optionally fried.
Kadayif is subject to Turkish standard 10344/T3 TS 10344/T3 Tel Kadayif (Special Turkish Dessert) as a semi-processed (baked) water and flour mix product.
The word kadayıf in Turkish cuisine might designate multiple products, from the actual to unfinished intermediate products like dough and flour, that are used to make these specific noodles.
The noodles are made on an oversized rotating griddle, onto which the batter made of kadayif flour, based on wheat, is poured through a sieve with small holes. Kadayif noodles are then packaged into boxes (typically about in weight), and sold in refrigerated or frozen form.
The noodles are also known as kadayif noodles, string kadayif, wire kadayif, tray kadayif, tel kadayif, the last three names are also used for finished desserts.
