The Good Stuff
Persian Ice Cream
Iranian ice cream, especially saffron and pistachio flavours, is repeatedly praised alongside faloodeh.
Cookie Boxes
Soft cookies come in varied shapes and fillings, including heart-shaped, jam-filled and pistachio versions.
Iranian Variety
The shop covers traditional Iranian sweets, nuts, tea and desserts rather than focusing only on cakes.
Celebration Cakes
Some customers report excellent birthday cakes, with staff helping suggest flavours for special occasions.
Tea Seating
You can sit with tea and relax, giving the pastry shop a café-style option beyond takeaway.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Biscuits. Inspect takeaway biscuits before leaving; one customer twice received old biscuits that were hard.
Book Cakes. Tell the shop in advance if you need a cake, particularly for a birthday or other occasion.
Confirm Weights. For online sweets sold by weight, check the packed weight against your order before accepting it.
Allow Time. Build in extra time during visits; one customer reported a long wait even when the shop was quiet.
Try Faloodeh. For the Persian speciality, consider combining faloodeh with ice cream and the available syrups.

The Bottom Line
Afrina Sweets is a Persian sweets shop and cake business in Jumeirahjumeirah 1, with the sort of range that suits both a quick dessert stop and a box to take home. Customers come for Iranian ice cream and faloodeh, and the cream puffs are one of the safest first picks: one review describes thin pastry around a generous, lightly sweet cream filling. Persian cream buns, saffron ice cream and soft cookies also receive strong praise.
There is more here than individual pastries. Reviews mention traditional sweets such as zulbia bamieh, nuts, tea, birthday cakes and a sitting area where you can have tea and relax. The cookie boxes work well for sharing or gifting, with heart-shaped, jam-filled and pistachio varieties specifically called out.
Quality and service are not completely consistent. Some customers found products fresh and staff friendly, while others received stale biscuits or gata bread, faced long waits, or encountered wrong birthday and delivery items. Online buyers should check weights carefully after one reported receiving 65–80 grams for 100-gram portions.
Cake orders should be discussed ahead of time, and takeaway biscuits are worth inspecting before leaving. Pricing is another recurring reservation, with some visitors finding the sweets expensive.
