An Arab sweet shop that began in Beirut in 1872 and settled in Deira in the 1980s. The counters are stacked with baklava, maamoul and namoura, and kunafa should be eaten warm, cut to order, so the cheese stretches. Reviews often say it's less sugary than expected. A good place to taste the dessert behind the global Dubai-chocolate craze.
