The Columbus Monthly team recently had the unique opportunity to taste the viral Dubai chocolate bar, which has taken the internet by storm. This chocolate bar, originating from Dubai, is filled with knafeh, a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made with sweetened, shredded phyllo dough and pistachio. The addition of knafeh gives the bars a unique texture and flavor profile that sets it apart from other chocolate bars on the market.
Al Aqsa Sweets on Schrock Road in Columbus, Ohio, is one of the places where you can find this sought-after treat. The Columbus Monthly team decided to try all three versions of the Dubai chocolate bar available at the bakery: milk and dark chocolate bars with the traditional pistachio filling, and a Lotus bar made with Lotus Biscoff cookies. Each bar offered a different experience and flavor profile, making the taste test an exciting and delicious adventure.
The milk chocolate Dubai chocolate bar was the first to be sampled, and it received rave reviews from the team. The crunchiness of the knafeh was satisfying, and the pistachio paste added a creamy component that complemented the nuts perfectly. The dark chocolate version of the bar was equally delightful, with a thicker filling that provided a satisfying contrast and bite. The Lotus bar, with its unique incorporation of Biscoff cookies instead of pistachios, was the sweetest of the three and reminded many of toffee or butterscotch candies.
After careful consideration and tasting, the team concluded that the Lotus bar was the favorite among the group, although some preferred the dark chocolate bar. Ultimately, the choice between the bars came down to personal preference for sweetness levels. Regardless of individual preferences, everyone agreed that the Dubai chocolate bars lived up to the viral hype and were worth trying.
One of the most appealing aspects of the Dubai chocolate bars from Al Aqsa is their price point. While these bars can cost up to in Dubai, you can purchase a small bar for just at Al Aqsa in Columbus. This makes it an affordable yet indulgent treat that is accessible to many.
In conclusion, the viral Dubai chocolate bar has made its mark on the culinary scene, and its popularity shows no signs of slowing down. The unique combination of knafeh filling and chocolate offers a delicious and memorable experience for chocolate lovers everywhere. Whether you prefer milk, dark, or Lotus-flavored chocolate bars, one thing is certain: a trip to Al Aqsa Sweets to try these delectable treats is a must-do for food enthusiasts in Columbus.
