Cheese kunafa in Dubai built for the stretch: soft sweet cheese under crisp golden pastry, syrup poured over while everything is still warm. Pull a strand and see. You will find it at Aylla Seafood Restaurant & Café, right beside Waterfront Market in Dubai.

On the Plate
Four things decide whether a dessert earns its place at the end:
The Dessert That Stretches
Cheese kunafa is Dubai’s most theatrical dessert, and ours performs every night. The cheese pulls in long strands the moment a fork goes in, the shredded pastry shatters above it, and the syrup keeps the two in balance. It is lighter than it looks and warmer than you expect, which is why it leaves our kitchen long after the seafood plates are cleared. Order it when dinner is done but nobody wants the evening to end.
Made for the End
The same standard, every order:
The seafood feast has a final act — plan for it.
Slices from the counter, hot sweets straight from the kitchen.
Moroccan tea, Turkish coffee or a fresh juice alongside.
Reserve Your Table
Eat it on the terrace with the water in view, or take it to go — it travels well either way.
