Dubai Chocolate Has Landed in Northern Ireland - Here Are 3 Places to Try It
The Dubai chocolate craze is officially here.
And yes - it’s every bit as indulgent, creamy, crunchy, and Instagrammable as you’ve heard.
This trend, which first took off in the UAE, blends rich pistachio chocolate with kunafa (a crisp, golden Middle Eastern pastry), creating desserts that look as luxurious as they taste. And now, Northern Ireland is getting a taste, quite literally, of this global obsession.
From viral strawberries to brownies and even a chocolate-making class, here are 3 of the best Dubai pistachio products to try in Northern Ireland right now:
1. Dubai Chocolate Strawberries - Taste of Belgium, CastleCourt Belfast
CastleCourt Shopping Centre, Belfast
This one’s the game-changer. These viral Dubai chocolate strawberries are what started the queues and trust us, they’re worth every minute of the wait.
Taste of Belgium has nailed the flavour with layers of authentic pistachio chocolate, kunafa crunch, and fresh strawberries, finished with chopped pistachios for the ultimate texture. They’re rich, gooey, fresh, and ridiculously addictive. This isn’t just a treat; it’s an experience.
Expect queues (big ones). But they move fast and once you try one, you’ll understand the hype.
