Wanted to love it but I don't.
We ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries and banana biscoff kunafa. I was shocked at the price for each item! The strawberries were $16 and the kunafa was $14. The strawberries were very ripe and fresh, but that wasn't my main gripe. I wish the pistachio sauce had more flavor. I could be wrong, but it tasted like white chocolate which is a huge disappointment. Pistachio sauce/cream is one of my favorite flavorings and this did not meet the mark. The kataifi was pink and had a sweet flavor to it, which also over powered the already sweet dessert. I was looking for rich chocolate, cold pistachio, and a salty crunch. Unfortunately, I got sweet paired with more sweet, paired with sweeter. Just too sweet to actually enjoy.
The biscoff was also a letdown. Super sweet with minimal richness and salt from the cheese. It had the same dyed phyllo with an underlying sweetness and a definite imbalance of flavors.
Would I come back here again? Probably, but for other food items. Their savory food selections smelled and looked incredible. I think for dessert, they deviated from their cultural roots to cater to the American flavors which is so disappointing! Maybe the savory options will hit the mark.
