It is a pop-up bakery housed in an old shipping container surrounded by a few milk crates for customers to sit on.

But this makeshift outlet has become one of the hottest food trucks in town and it is attracting thousands of people from different backgrounds and religions to eat its "Jerusalem street food".

It is the creative idea of Ameer El-Issa and his Palestinian family who now live in Sydney It grew out of a need to keep up with the high demand for the popular dessert, knafeh, at the family's cafe Shisha Bar and Grill in Croydon Park.

As soon as it opened people started flocking to the bakery. Ameer said they are getting 2000 to 3000 customers a night.

"The response has been amazing," Ameer told The Sun-Herald.
