  Heard a lot about their Halwa and been there to try them. Was okay okay for the hype. Their basic ingredient is semolina (suji) which is a staple food in South India for rava Kesari, upma etc so their almond helva or the pistachio helva didn't excite me. Altho the Dubai chocolate helva was unique layered over pistachio bed. Over all okay okay and it was value for money. Nothing that I will go back for, but if you are in that area it's a better choice due to its suttle sweetness u like regular desserts that are sugary.

  Everything was great, the taste of Dubai Chocolate Halva was nuclear. The variety of Halva, Ice cream, Baclava, Turkish Delights, Sweet Turkish biscuits, Cakes, and Drinks (hot & cold) 1 COMPLAINT is their order taking & queueing process. They should have a tablet, with a tasting menue option for like $12 to try all the icecream & halva (small samples) or $6 for only ice cream or halva, then they should have a big screen with the order number ready, near ready, being done, pending LIST, with a dedicated pick up counter space. ALSO, the TURKISH FLAG should be replaced with an LED TV showing all of Turkey not just the flag.

  I loved the atmosphere and the employers!! They were warm and let us test each flavour kindly ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 My choice personally was dubai chocolate + caramel mix with ice cream. It had a thick taste (I couldn’t even finish this small size, I needed to do to go)

  We visited Helvacı Ali and had a delightful experience from start to finish. The Turkish tea was superb — true to form, aromatic and flawlessly brewed. The service was excellent: the staff were friendly, attentive and clearly took pride in offering a welcoming atmosphere. On top of that, the Spanish latte I tried tasted great, smooth and well balanced.

  Got the half an half halva with walnut and pistachio and it was really good. Got it with ice cream at the bottom which added a nice temperature contrast with the warm halva. Also got karak chai which was good but perhaps just a bit too sweet.
