Best Dessert Places in Dubai for Every Kind of Sweet Craving

Updated 6 October 2026

Some Dubai desserts call for a reservation and a slow evening; others are best eaten warm on the way home. This guide keeps those occasions separate. You will find a dessert tasting menu, Levantine sweets made for sharing, café signatures and restaurant desserts worth saving room for, with current listed prices and the terms each operator publishes.

At a glance

1. BRIX Journey, Jumeirah Fishing Harbour

Best for a dessert tasting with a beginning, middle and end

BRIX Journey is the choice for making dessert the plan, not the final line on a dinner bill. Its Voice of Emirates menu is four courses for AED250 per person, served Tuesday to Sunday at 7:30pm over 45–60 minutes. Silk Road stretches to six courses for AED390 per person, at 5pm or 9:30pm, and takes about an hour. The set times and limited seatings make this a book-ahead occasion; the price is per guest, not a share plate. BRIX does not state on the experience page whether tax is included, so confirm the final total when reserving. Find the small-format journey at Shop 2, Jumeirah Fishing Harbour.

2. Ashtaya, Dubai Mall

Best for a scoop or jar of ashta

Ashtaya turns ashta into an easy choice for very different appetites: two scoops cost AED33 for the original, fig and nuts, chocolate, blackberry, mango, dates or rose flavours, and AED35 for avocado or pistachio. If you are taking dessert home, single jars are AED25–35; a five-jar gathering box is AED120 and a nine-jar box AED210. That box format makes it the clearest pick here for a group that wants to try several flavours. The menu’s visit details list Galeries Lafayette, Dubai Mall, Level 2, daily 10am–11pm; the separate ordering page gives the Main Shop hours as 11am–10pm. Check the branch’s hours before going. The menu does not state jar volume, scoop weight or tax treatment, so use the published price as a flavour-and-format guide rather than a portion-size comparison.

3. Kanafani, Jumeirah Village Circle

Best for warm kunafa, from one ka’ake to a sharing tray

Kanafani makes the format as important as the sweet. The cheese kunafa ka’ake is AED22 for an individual handheld option; five mini kunafa are AED55. For a table, the large Royal Kunafa Na’ame and Kheshne trays are AED99 each and serve about eight, while Ashta versions are AED115. The tray price is for the sharing dish, not per person. This is the stop to choose when the appeal is hot, crisp kunafa in a familiar Levantine style and there are enough people to finish a tray. The operator’s ordering window is 10am–10pm; its contact page places the JVC branch at Serena Building, near The FIVE Hotel. Confirm current stock and delivery terms in the live order flow.

4. Pechka Café, Dubai Marina

Best for Russian cake and a late café stop

At Pechka, dessert can stretch into coffee, a late breakfast or an unhurried café stop: the Marina café stays open until midnight. The menu includes Medovik honey cake at AED41, raspberry Pavlova at AED44, Dubai Pryanik at AED41 and syrniki at AED65. The operator describes its offer as Russian comfort food, with dine-in, pickup and delivery available; the portions are not specified on the menu. It is a more relaxed café choice than a plated dessert tasting, especially if the table wants tea or a savoury dish too. The listed location is Grand Trident Mall in Dubai Marina. Check the live ordering page for the branch-specific option and availability before setting out.

5. Magnolia Bakery, Dubai Mall

Best for banana pudding by the cup or party bowl

Magnolia’s banana pudding is the most straightforward dessert to portion for a group: the Dubai Mall delivery menu lists a medium cup at AED35 and a large cup at AED45, then party bowls at AED189 and AED289. The small bowl is described as serving six to eight; the large bowl’s serving guidance differs across live menu versions, so confirm the size at checkout before ordering for a specific headcount. The operator-linked listing does not give cup volume, so those are menu formats rather than measured cup sizes. If everyone wants their own, order cups; for a birthday table or family night, the larger bowls are the distinctive buy. Magnolia Bakery UAE links the Dubai ordering channels from its official page. Prices shown here come from the linked Deliveroo listing and can change at checkout; verify branch, current availability and serving size.

6. Hakkasan Dubai, Atlantis The Palm

Best for a polished Cantonese-inspired dessert after dinner

Hakkasan is a dinner destination first, but its dessert menu has a distinct Cantonese point of view rather than a generic hotel pastry list. Mandarin & Coconut is AED65; Nashi & Osmanthus AED68; and the Hakka Platter, a selection of mini desserts, is AED168. Choose the platter for a wider assortment of small desserts, or an individual plate for one specific finish; the menu does not state serving size or fee treatment. Dinner runs Tuesday to Saturday, 6pm–11:30pm, at Atlantis The Palm; the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. This is the most occasion-led choice in the list for someone already planning a full meal.

7. Eunoia, Hyatt Centric Jumeirah Dubai

Best for a French-Mediterranean café dessert by the coast

Eunoia’s dessert menu is a fit for a café meal or coastal hotel stop where the table wants a familiar French finish with a few regional turns. Raspberry cheesecake is AED50, crème brûlée AED53 and tarte tatin AED110; pistachio tres leches is AED53, while gelato and sorbet are AED22 per scoop. The operator positions the restaurant in a French-Mediterranean direction at Hyatt Centric Jumeirah, and lists daily breakfast from 7–11am with service again 12:30pm–11pm. The dessert page does not explain portion sizes or whether taxes and service are included. Its published price range makes it easier to choose between a simple scoop and a more substantial plated order; check the menu and booking details before visiting.

8. CRMY, delivery-led

Best for a dessert jar delivered to the sofa

CRMY is the delivery-first pick when the plan is dessert at home, not another restaurant booking. Its current menu lists retail dessert jars at AED36 each, including Strawberry Velvet, Velvet Tiramisu and Key Lime Citrus; some selections are labelled vegan. The menu does not publish jar weight or volume, so AED36 should not be read as a confirmed single-serving size. CRMY links directly to Deliveroo and Talabat, where delivery coverage and live availability can be checked by address. Its own site also describes the range as made without added refined sugar; treat that as the brand’s claim and read the current ingredient information if it matters to your order.

How we chose this list

This is an editorial selection, not a scored ranking. We included places with a specific, verifiable dessert reason to visit and enough current operator information to help a reader choose an item, serving format or occasion. A plated restaurant dessert, a box of kunafa and a delivery pudding are different purchases, so prices are presented on their own terms. Portions, taxes and redemption terms are left unstated when the source does not publish them.
