Chocolate cake in Dubai with a hazelnut heart: dark, deep and just sweet enough, with roasted nuts running through every layer. Built for the grown-ups at the table. 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 Grown-Up Slice
A hazelnut chocolate cake in Dubai has competition — every café on the creek claims one — and ours leans dark. The cocoa is bitter-edged, the hazelnuts are roasted until they smell like a bakery at seven in the morning, and the sugar stays polite. Find it at Aylla, a short stroll from the fish market in Deira, where it closes out long seafood dinners while the terrace lights come on. Children like it; adults order two.
Made for the End
No secrets — just the rules we keep at every service:
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.
