In the heart of DIFC, ALAYA has always been known for its impeccable storytelling through food — a place where Middle Eastern warmth meets Mediterranean elegance. This summer, the acclaimed dining destination by Chef Izu Ani and restaurateur Evgeny Kuzin unveils a new chapter in its culinary narrative: a signature dessert collection that reimagines classic sweets with modern refinement.
Each dessert is a work of art — rich with heritage, layered in texture, and plated with the precision of a jeweller setting gemstones. Whether you’re lingering over a long afternoon coffee or ending an evening on a decadent note, ALAYA’s creations promise a journey of indulgence.
Apricot Tart
Golden, buttery pastry cradles slices of sun-ripened apricot, their tang softened by the cool embrace of silky vanilla ice cream. A summer day, plated.
Traditional Baked Baklava
A timeless Levantine treasure — crisp, golden layers of pastry embracing crushed nuts, served warm with a scoop of aromatic mastic ice cream. It’s nostalgia in every bite, yet plated with ALAYA’s signature elegance.
Kunafa
Crisp strands of vermicelli pastry give way to soft, creamy mastic ice cream in this refined take on a Middle Eastern classic. Comfort food, elevated to an art form.
Cheesecake with Coffee, Chocolate & Dates
A meeting of cultures on one plate — rich cheesecake crowned with sweet, plump dates, finished with a pour-over of smooth coffee-chocolate sauce. Earthy, indulgent, unforgettable.
Mochikan Chocolate Cake
For the true chocolate devotee — a dense, velvety cake with a layer of tangy cream cheese, paired with vanilla ice cream. Deep, bold, and impossible to share.
Alaya Tiramisu
Familiar yet unexpected — layers of ALAYA’s chocolate baklava dough meet luscious tiramisu cream for a dessert that feels both classic and daring.
Pistachio Ice Cream
Bright and nutty, this house-made pistachio ice cream is scattered with jewel-like pomegranate seeds — a refreshing palate cleanser or a sweet escape all on its own.
From light and refreshing to rich and decadent, each dessert is a tribute to craftsmanship, nostalgia, and indulgence—inviting diners to end their ALAYA experience on a truly memorable note.
