Let’s be honest—some people chase sunsets, some chase summer flings… and then there are those of us who chase dessert menus. If that’s you, welcome to the tribe. And let me tell you, this summer, ALAYA in DIFC isn’t just tempting tastebuds—it’s flirting with them.
Known for its swanky charm and elegant vibes, ALAYA has rolled out a dessert menu that feels like a warm hug, a sweet surprise, and a five-star vacation—all plated up in delicate, delicious servings. This isn’t your basic “cheesecake with a side of regret” situation. Oh no, ALAYA is serving heritage, harmony, and a whole lotta heart on every plate.
Apricot Tart – Golden Hour, But Make It Dessert
Imagine if sunshine decided to dress up as a dessert. That’s this tart. It’s golden, warm, buttery, and topped with the kind of apricots that taste like they’ve been kissed by summer. Add vanilla ice cream? We’re done. Pack it up. Perfection achieved.
Traditional Baked Baklava – Crunch. Crave. Repeat.
One bite and you’re transported to the Levant, minus the airfare. Flaky layers, crushed nuts, and that signature “just sweet enough” syrupy drizzle—this isn’t baklava, it’s Bakla-wow. And that warm, gooey center paired with mastic ice cream? A mic-drop moment, but edible.
Kunafa – Because Textures Are Sexy
ALAYA’s kunafa is like that friend who’s crunchy on the outside but soft and sweet once you get to know them. A perfect play between crispy vermicelli and that creamy, dreamy mastic ice cream. It’s traditional, but with a glow-up.
Cheesecake with Coffee Chocolate & Dates – East Meets Sweet
This dish is like a well-traveled foodie who studied abroad in Europe but still calls the Middle East home. Creamy cheesecake meets date-night vibes (literally), topped with a coffee-chocolate pour that’s so rich it probably owns property in DIFC.
Mochikan Chocolate Cake – Drama. Depth. Dessert.
Calling all chocoholics: this is your moment. Dense, decadent, and topped with tangy cream cheese and vanilla ice cream, this isn’t just a dessert—it’s a lifestyle choice. And we support you.
Alaya Tiramisu – The Plot Twist You Didn’t Know You Needed
You think you know tiramisu. But this one’s been to therapy, journaled, and evolved. ALAYA adds their signature chocolate baklava dough into the mix, and suddenly your classic tiramisu has a whole new personality. And you’re obsessed.
Pistachio Ice Cream – Light, Bright, and a Bit Fancy
Just when you think you’re full, this beauty arrives. Subtle pistachio vibes, cool and refreshing, with a sprinkle of pomegranate that’s giving “edible jewelry.” It’s the perfect finale or midday pick-me-up, no judgment here.
So whether you’re celebrating, stress-eating, or just showing up for “research purposes,” ALAYA’s dessert menu is worth the calories and the social media post. Get your spoon ready, loosen your belt, and lean into the sweet side of life—because this is indulgence done right.
