Dubai chocolate brings two pleasures into one tablet: chocolate that melts slowly and a kunafa filling with a distinct crunch. At Forrey & Galland, the collection explores that contrast in three versions: Pistachio Kunafa, Speculoos Kunafa and Praline Kunafa. Each tablet is AED 105. Discover them at our Dubai Mall boutique, or choose delivery within the United Arab Emirates.
What is Dubai chocolate?
The name is widely associated with chocolate enclosing a pistachio and crisp kunafa filling. Its appeal lies in the contrast between the outer chocolate, a soft centre and delicate, crisp strands. It is a filled tablet to break and share, rather than a box of individual pralines. Today, the expression also covers interpretations that take the same textural idea in different flavour directions.
Dubai’s official tourism guide traces the viral story to Sarah Hamouda’s FIX chocolate and a food video by Maria Vehera in December 2023. That is the origin of the contemporary trend, separate from the history of our Maison. Forrey & Galland’s collection is our own interpretation. Read the Visit Dubai account of the viral chocolate story for that background.
A French Maison, three Dubai Chocolate tablets
Forrey & Galland traces its French heritage to 1912. Our Maison story connects that heritage with our present in Dubai. For this collection, our chocolatiers bring French chocolate-making traditions to a dessert inspired by Middle Eastern flavours. The defining construction combines crisp layers and a smooth, creamy centre: texture matters as much as the name of the filling.
The three photographs below are our official product photographs. Compare the presentation alongside the flavour name before choosing; the range offers three separate tablets, not a mixed box containing all three. The price of each is identical, so the starting point is the recipient’s taste rather than a difference in price.
Pistachio Kunafa — AED 105
The Pistachio Kunafa tablet is the starting point for someone looking for the pistachio-and-kunafa combination associated with Dubai chocolate. Choose it when that particular flavour is the reason for the gift. If the recipient has a nut allergy, ask our team for the exact ingredient and allergen information before ordering.
Speculoos Kunafa — AED 105
The Speculoos Kunafa tablet offers the collection’s speculoos variation. It is a useful choice when you know the recipient enjoys speculoos and would like to explore another version of the kunafa tablet. The flavour name is not an allergen declaration: check the specific recipe with our team if a dietary requirement determines your choice.
Praline Kunafa — AED 105
The Praline Kunafa tablet brings the praline variation into the collection. Choose it for someone interested in praline in a tablet format. For individually presented chocolates instead, explore our praline library and the chocolate box collection; they offer a different way to taste and share.
How to choose your tablet or gift
For a first encounter with the trend, begin with Pistachio Kunafa. For a recipient whose preference you already know, let that preference guide you towards Speculoos or Praline. When sharing among several people, choosing different tablets creates a comparison around the table without asking everyone to enjoy the same filling.
Two tablets total AED 210; one of each totals AED 315, calculated from the individual AED 105 prices. These are simple combinations, not a discounted bundle. A tablet suits a shared tasting; individual chocolate pieces may be more practical for a reception or a gift intended to be served one piece at a time. Our formats and prices guide helps compare those options.
For a company occasion, speak to our corporate gifting team about the presentation and required date. Corporate requests have a 3–5 working-day turnaround, including personalisation, and no minimum order. Confirm the appropriate product and presentation with the team; the retail same-day delivery service is a separate arrangement.
