Crush Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Bar - 210 g | Elegant Gift | Stuffed with a Unique Blend of Toasted Katafi, Pistachio Cream & Tahini | A New Luxury Twist on the Traditional Knafeh Dessert

Fantastic tast

I'm sorry to say that this product does not appear to conform to the following UK food labelling and packaging requirements: *If your food or drink product has 2 or more ingredients (including any additives), you must list them all. Ingredients must be listed in order of weight, with the main ingredient first. *You must highlight allergens on the label using a different font, style or background colour. You must also list them in the ingredients. This bar of Crush Dubai chocolate with pistachio gives (barely legible) nutrition facts, but the ingredients are listed as "pistachios, kunafa, butter vegetable, filling pistachio, chocolate, Sesame Tahini", and the allergen statement is also inadequate. Although I like to know what's in anything I eat, and always read ingredients lists, I did try this chocolate, and found it far too sweet, with a cloying, perfume-like flavour. The chocolate covering is very thin and pale - the cocoa percentage must be very low. When I ordered it, the price was a ridiculous £27.99 - it's now £19.99 which is still a joke. It's a long time since I've felt so disappointed - and frankly, cross - about any product.

Fantastic 👍

I have no idea how much this bar cost and I’m actually scared to look into it because I think it is my new addiction. So creamy so smooth and the perfect taste and texture of crushed pistachios. Not only that the packaging was outstanding which is making me think this is probably very over priced. The chocolate itself was wrapped in a luxurious gold foil and came with its own gift bag. The little squares of chocolate were very thick and the taste was insanely good. Better than a dairy milk any day and I can understand what all the hype is about with regards to Dubai chocolate.

Well this "Crush Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Bar - 210 g" is a very interesting one indeed. I had heard of these 'Dubai Pistachio' type of chocolates coming onto the British market over the last year or so, but today was my first time receiving & trying one. The bar arrives in an outer cardboard box and then inside is the bar itself along with a fancy little bag, the kind you get with luxury products such as perfume or watches. By chocolate bar standards, this one is luxury too. It is an interesting size. It is bigger than a regular bar you might buy from a newsagents but it is not as huge as some special edition bars that you get around Christmas for example. It is roughly 18-19cms long, 8-9cms wide and just about 2.75-3cms thick. It is definitely a good size, in terms of value there is of course an elephant in the room... At time of writing the bar is currently listed at £27.99. For one chocolate bar this is one heck of a price tag! I have already commented that it is a luxury chocolate bar - that's certainly the market they're going for but personally I am not really in the market for a £25-£30 chocolate bar! You may be and if so, good luck to you. Taste-wise I leave this until last as taste is subjective. Even if I tell you it was the best or the worst thing I ever tasted it doesn't mean that you would agree with me. Personally I found it to have an interesting flavour profile and mouth feel. There is of course the chocolate which is hard, the Kataifi which is crispy and the Pistachio Cream which is creamy and smooth. If nothing else there's several textures there going on at once, but I did enjoy the taste also. I broke of the end two cubes this afternoon at around 3pm. It was an indulgent and quite filling afternoon treat. So...for rating this I find it very difficult. One the one hand it was an indulgent and delicious treat. I think it would make for an interesting gift idea. However I cannot get away from the price. There's next to no way I'm paying out that much for a chocolate bar. So I'm a bit torn - do I give good marks for the taste or mark it down for the price? I think all things considered that a four star rating is likely a fair and accurate representation of my feelings on this one.

This is the closest to real “Dubai” chocolate. These are a very hefty weight, very thick and come in very quirky packaging that come with a gift bag. This specific bar has a great pistachio flavour with a nutty crunch. I do believe the price is a little high, although this is a larger than normal chocolate bar and it does come very well packaged. If you are a chocolate connoisseur, this is not the thing for you as the chocolate is, in my opinion, not the highest of quality however it has come from Saudi Arabia so will have been designed to fit with the temperatures there. This is a very nice thing to have as a treat, if you want to just try “Dubai” chocolate, then I’d try a cheaper alternative.

Firstly, for anyone anticipating a thick slab of chocolate with a pistachio flavouring, you need to manage your expectations because this is not what Dubai chocolate is! This is a version of the viral Dubai chocolate and it comes really nicely packaged with its own matching gift bag. The chocolate shell is decorated nicely and the taste is fairly average with a thinner and sweeter consistency than UK chocolate (don’t expect it to be comparable to Cadbury or Galaxy!), but I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t have that snap when breaking it open. The filling was a mix of knafeh and pistachio cream and it was quite soft without any of the crunch I expected from the knafeh pastry. It was sweet but there wasn’t really that much flavour to it either. Overall, it was OK but certainly not the best Dubai chocolate I’ve tried. The price is also high but I presume you’re paying for authenticity and shipping as this claims to be made in Dubai. If you just want an introduction to this type of chocolate then there are other supermarket versions which are a lot cheaper.

Ordered this as I was intrigued about the hype over Dubai Chocolate. The item arrived well packed in a card box with a well wrapped bar and gift bag to put it in. On opening, I can honestly say this is the most foul and disgusting tasting "chocolate" ever. I use the term "chocolate" loosely as even cooking chocolate tastes better than this! I suspect the hype over Dubai Chocolate was whipped up by social media "influencers" and it's snowballed from there. The product taste oily and has no really taste apart from an overpowering flavour of pistachio. Having been in Belgium, I am well versed in good, high quality chocolate and if this product could have zero stars, it would. The price break on this product is obscene, which again perpetuates the hype- for the price of this bar, you could buy a decent Hotel Chocolat selection box. This really is the most disgusting tasting product, and I'll be avoiding "Dubai Chocolate" in the future.. Avoid... your taste buds will thank you!!

This Dubai bar tastes really yummy. I am pleased with the kunafa to chocolate ratio. It came with no ice pack. It’s still about 30 degrees here in New York and feels like it’s about 18 degrees. So, it’s safe to say the bar did not melt. It came in great condition. I personally don’t like my bar in the fridge, I like it to have a good soft bite of the chocolate and crunchy kunafa is so good! I would buy again. I still feel like these Dubai bars are grossly over priced but very addictive.

Definitely worth it. Especially as a gift. I tried so many Dubai chocolate brands in the stores, and I didn’t realize what all the buzz was about until I got this one. The best quality Dubai chocolate I have tried. Addicting. The box was also super cute. Will definitely get another as a gift.

The chocolate is very good and I would buy this again but probably from another seller. I paid for expedited delivery and I didn't get it and when I did get it, it had melted, I still ate it though. I know that can happen in this heat but this was the first bar I bought that I received that melted. I figured I would try again from another seller/app and I got it in about a week and half and it had not melted at all. So that is why I am not giving 5 stars

One of the best ones I’ve ever had. I have had several different brands of these Dubai style chocolate bars and these are top tier.
