Tastes absolutely amazing, looks great.
OMG, This thing tastes like absolute heaven. I've never been a huge fan of chocolate but this thing has so much flavour and different tastes inside that it's genuinely the best chocolate bar I've ever tasted. I have had similarly prices luxury chocolate bars and quite frankly, this tastes much better than any of them.The quality of the chocolate & ingredients are amazing. I decided to pop it in the fridge overnight and when you do this, you end up with a thin crisp outer layer of chocolate and a softer mix of different ingredients inside. For instance, there's like a caramel type ingredient that isn't noticeable when you have it at room temperature but straight from the fridge, you can feel that its there.In terms of value for money, I think its great. Sure it's a higher price item but when you consider the size of the bar and how thick it is, it's effectively like ordering a really nice desert. One piece is satisfying so you don't need to eat the entire thing in one go. The wrapper could do with being a little bit fancier, it doesn't look anywhere near as fancy as the actual bar inside.

Very rich and crunchy
The bar itself looks quite special, with a textured top. Breaking off a square produces a distinct crackling sound. The experience of eating it is all about the texture. There is the smooth melting chocolate, but then a very crisp, light, and crunchy layer that gives way to the nutty pieces inside. The flavour is definitely on the sweeter side, and very rich. The nutty taste is the main flavour profile, balanced against the creamy chocolate. The crispy element is what makes it stand out from a typical chocolate bar; it’s an unusual and enjoyable combination. It is quite a decadent item, and a little piece is more than enough to satisfy a craving for something sweet. It's an interesting confection, with a focus on contrasting textures.

Charlotte arrived melted and re-solidified unappetising!
I was incredibly disappointed to receive this chocolate. Although the packaging looked fine, it was clear from the feel of the bar of chocolate that something had happened to it. Upon opening it, I discovered that the chocolate had somehow melted and then perhaps re-solidified.What this meant is that the chocolate itself looked fairly unappealing, as you can see from the photograph I have attached to this review, and, unfortunately, it left the chocolate with an unappetising look and smell. As you can tell from the photograph, this chocolate looks nothing like advertised, and something about the fact that it had clearly melted and solidified again had changed the chocolate itself so we didn't feel we could test it at all. It really did smell as if it had gone bad.It may well be that this was a fluke and that other chocolate from the same maker will reach its purchasers in perfect condition, but do be aware if you receive a bar of this and it feels in any way strange, that it may not be palatable. A real shame!

Misleading and overpriced but tasty
Firstly, this chocolate bar doesn't actually have any pistachio, I want to make that clear, this is pecan and kunafa. They are clearly trying to follow the hype of the Dubai chocolate craze (which in itself is silly since pistachio cream has been in chocolate before from Turkish chocolates etc). I think to be clear also... This isn't made in Dubai at all, it's actually made in Saudi Arabia and even has their seal on it. Which does make it authentic but the title of the product is thus quite misleading.The taste however, putting all of that aside, is amazing. The chocolate is deep and indulgent, the kunafa and slight cinnamon taste pairs so well and the salt really elevates it. You get the thick texture of chunky chocolate on top, but with a soft I diligent bottom and a salty slightly crispy filling. Honestly amazing.However the price is just ridiculous. And with the misleading title and advertising I can't really endorse this? If this was say around £10-£15 I would say it's pricey but might be worthit for special occasions like you would get a luxury big chocolate box. (This is a thicker candybar with 8 squares). However right now at around £28 it is far too much, and not good value.Despite the taste being awesome, it does taste essentially like baclava (but with chocolate) and you can get chocolate filled baclava for less.It's a shame because if this was marketed correctly, and the price was made accessible, this would be an easy recommendation, but can't recommend this at the moment unless money is no issue and you're not actually looking for Dubai pistachio chocolate.

Strong taste and very expensive.
Taste:I honestly did not like the taste of this at all, taste is very subjective but it was too sickly for me. Value for money:way too expensive in my opinion. Quality:looked good, didn't look of bad quality or anything.

Actually worth the price
This comes with a small gift bag, and seems at first glance to be extremely overpriced chocolate. I was surprised though at the quality of the product. It has excellent flavour and texture, a little sweeter than the usual pistachio version which is already becoming a little tired. Definitely needs to be kept in the fridge as it turns practically into a liquid over 20c.Not sure I would actually pay the asking price, but I certainly wouldn't turn it down if offered!

Eat cold
Unique flavour palette. Sounds great but not as pleasant to eat. Inside stays formed while outside gets soft. Great cold

A disgusting chocolate bar !
I was really looking forward to trying this chocolate bar, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment.When it arrived on May 17, 2025, I noticed one side of the bar felt like it had collapsed. The foil wrapper had some kind of greasy residue on it, and when opened the chocolate looked terrible and not all fresh.The wrapper shows a production date of 12/03/2024 and expired on 06/02/2025.For something advertised as “exquisite Dubai chocolate”, at a penny under twenty eight pounds, this is completely unacceptable and I wish you luck.
