About Hallab 1881 Kasr El Helou
Hallab Story
Hallab 1881 began as a humble Tripoli pastry atelier and, four generations later, remains the globally acclaimed gold standard for Lebanese sweets. Our Kasr El Helou signature carries a legacy of handmade baklava, mamoul and kunafa prepared with farm-fresh ghee, stone-ground semolina and the finest Levantine pistachios. Each piece echoes 140-plus years of craftsmanship, hospitality and unwavering commitment to natural ingredients.
Nestled on the LG level of Dubai Mall, our Downtown Dubai branch blends tradition with contemporary ease. Guests can sample complimentary bites before choosing an indulgence, settle into laptop-friendly seating, and watch desserts assembled to order. Whether you crave chocolate-lava kunafa, airy booza or gift-ready pastry boxes, we promise swift, attentive service that turns a quick stop into a sweet memory.

If you’re craving authentic Lebanese desserts, Hallab 1881 is an absolute must-visit. Located inside Dubai Mall, this spot delivers not just food, but an experience. I tried their kunafa with chocolate, and it was phenomenal — a perfect balance of crispy, creamy, and rich, with a decadent chocolate twist that takes it to the next level. Every bite felt like a piece of Lebanon’s sweet culinary heritage.
The service was excellent, and the atmosphere had that warm, traditional Lebanese charm. Whether you’re stopping for a quick dessert or sitting down for a full meal, Hallab 1881 delivers quality, authenticity, and flavor in every dish.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in original Lebanese flavors done right.
We found this place by chance wandering in Dubai Mall. They gave us a taste of the baklava and we were instantly hooked.
We had the ice cream and the assorted baklavas. The nice staff also gave us some generous samples too.
All of them are really nice and the sweetness is just right. We are definitely coming back again, and thank you to all the friendly staff!
Not exaggerating but this is the best Arabic sweet place I have ever been to! Quality of food and exceptional service are they key. This is now by far my favorite dessert place in Dubai Mall. Special thanks to Mr Nour, he was exceptional with his service and presentation 💐
