Al-Aqsa Sweets

I found this place during my search for the viral Dubai pistachio chocolate. It is a very small store but it is filled with tons of delicious-looking treats. When I arrived, all of the chocolate bars were sold out, as they usually are, but the employee went in the back and found a couple of bars just so I didn’t leave empty-handed. While he was on the back, he offered a free sample of the most spectacular treat, something I can only describe as a fried ball of honey. You bite into a crunchy dough shell and get hit with a burst of sweet juices. The chocolate bar is also nothing like anything you’ll find outside of a specialty store like this, I recommend trying it.

My family and I decided to stop here after finding it on Google. We’ve been trying to sample small coffee shops and bakeries whenever we have the opportunity. I cannot believe how much I love this shop! From the friendly owner and his son, to the delicious tasting assortment of goodies available, this place is a must try. Highly recommend this amazing establishment. You will not be disappointed.

Their baklava is unique and very fresh super tasty, they also have Dubai's famous pistachios chocolate which is simply delicious (a bit expensive but worth it).

We drove all the way from Cincinnati and it was definitely worth the drive, the knafeh was amazing and fresh, customer service is great and the guy was so friendly. Will be back again!

We stopped here spontaneously. So glad we did! This afternoon was our second visit: getting the Dubai bar, and trying the Halawet el Jibn, and Kinafa. Kinafa is amazing three layers of different flavors, all complementing one another yet mild. We were informed to heat it first, and if preferred, add a dash of simple syrup over it. I didn’t, but understand why to heat it up-delicious!
