A good splurge but not an every week treat due to the price.
This is a good candy bar and a good eating experience. The milk chocolate is of good quality, tastes great, and was delivered to my apartment in perfect shape. Not melted. The pistachio filling was like peanut butter but with pistachios. I could easily taste them. These are supposed to be of a better quality than what we have here in California but i couldn't tell the difference. The filling is good though and unique, setting it apart from other candy bars. The fried phylo is probably the star. While contributing only a little to the taste, it gives an excellent crunch through every bite. I'm stoked to have tried it and shared with co-workers. No regrets on the price for the experience but probably won't buy again due to the cost. Hey. It costs a lot to get an edible item imported into the US.

Great chocolate, excellent filling! Worth the money..
This chocolate bar is absolutely amazing.. I've been going back and forth with wanting to try this Dubai chocolate and wasn't sure if I would like the taste, but I'm definitely glad I tried it. The texture is pretty awesome, the chocolate is excellent, and the filling is really good. Definitely going to try some other versions to see how they differ. Yes they're a little expensive for a chocolate bar, but they're definitely worth it. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did!Update: I've tried several different brands and this one is the best. The chocolate is better, the filling is better, you get more filling with this product, and it seems this filling is more moist than some of the others that are a little more dried out. Also, the chocolate can be vastly different depending on which one you get. Some are hard, or some aren't tempered correctly, or have a random mint flavour in the chocolate for some reason. Even the more expensive brand from Ceres the crispy pistachio filled kadayif version is different and it's the same brand but more expensive. That bar was $38 and you get less filling that is more dried out than this version of the bar. Some people may like that, but I would definitely prefer this version from Ceres. Just my two cents though..***Another update: So since I became somewhat addicted to this chocolate (don't judge me, you'll see why when you try it), I've ordered this product several more times. I've found that this is one of the better tasting ones since I tried different brands. I have run into a few issues though which made me lower it from 5 to 4 stars. I wouldn't have even bothered, but I've had some issues with delivery and it says they won't accept returns or help you. I had one package that was left and it was completely empty, not sure why the driver would even deliver it since you could clearly see that the package was open and empty, but they did. Then I had another package that was completely melted. I would assume these are more along the lines of issues with shipping/delivery, but when you choose not to help loyal customers when they have an issue, that's when I start losing interest. I figured I would add this since it could influence your decision to purchase. Again, this product is absolutely amazing, the best one I've tried by far. But for whatever reason, they won't help you if something happens to your order. When you're paying $25 per chocolate bar, it can get expensive when you lose that money through no fault of your own, several times.

Delicious, but......
My chocolate bar came intact and not melted at all. This is the first time I have tried the viral treat. The chocolate is rich and decadent and I love the crisp of the fried phylo dough. My only issue is that the chocolate completely overpowers the pistachio filling. I didn't taste it one bit. I tried the filling by itself and it didn't have much flavor. Again, I don't have any other dubai chocolate to compare it to and have no idea if this is supposed to be the way it tastes. I enjoyed the chocolate itself, I'm glad I tried it, but would never ever spend $25 on it ever again. Most definitely not worth that high price.

Meh.
The product is okay but not worth $25. I’m probably pretty prejudice though because I detest milk chocolate so I don’t really think it’s fair to hurt their rating. It also doesn’t help that Amazon’s logistics was a complete pain in the ass on this one too. I had to cancel the order and reorder it because they lost or misplaced my original order. Pretty lame experience over all and expensive but my family was all gung-ho to try this mediocre fad and everyone was pretty underwhelmed in the end.

The Crunch
It's everything you're hoping after watching all the reels of people biting into one. The crunch is perfection. 😙🤌🏻 The bar isn't particularly big considering it costs $24, but it is decent, and it's Thick. There is a lot of filling, but the chocolate to filling ratio is still heavy on the chocolate. And the chocolate pretty much overpowers any other flavor. Also, it is very much milk chocolate so if you don't like milk chocolate, you won't like this bar. The filling doesn't have a lot of flavor, but the crunch of the filo dough with the pistachio filling is SO satisfying. Lol Overall, it was a fun experience and I really enjoyed eating it. Is it worth $24? Mmmm, maybe, just for the crunch alone. If you're wanting to try it because you're dying to know what all the hype is about, I'd highly recommend this one. I wasn't at all disappointed. And will likely get another one for my kids to try. 😂 It arrived in a very nice box too, so it could be a nice gift. You can see it all in the pictures I posted. The Pic with the bite taken, that was everything. Lol Really good!

Amazing
This chocolate bar was amazing, I’ve never had Dubai chocolate but a friend and I wanted to try it. $25 is crazy expensive for chocolate but it was worth a try. The texture is amazing and the squares were big. I would buy it again! It was greasier than I expected for chocolate but it was super good.

Not for me!!
I reviewed the bar today and it was melted through and through. I would highly suggest when mailing chocolate that a frozen cold pack is inserted regardless of the weather. Even though it was melted I put it in the fridge to harden so we could try it. Honestly it wasn’t the best to me and my son. It was giving an old taste. We will make our own at this point due to pricing. Shipping was accurate so it did arrive on time. The bar also didn’t have much katafi from the small piece that I did taste. My stars are strictly for shipping and nothing else. If we try it again I will update but its highly unlikely. This is my honest review.
