What to Eat at Al Sultan Sweets جميرا How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Al Sultan Sweets جميرا, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Al Sultan Sweets جميرا, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Abu shaker fresh juices Net −1
“They started a new concept Abu Shaker fresh juices originally from Damascus… It’s a shame because it’s not related to what we used to have at all, different taste and different texture… Should be sweet, but sadly it is not. I spoke to the manager and expressed he’s sorry but sadly that doesn’t change the fact that I don’t recommend it at all…”

Tips for a Better Visit
Request Freshness. Ask whether the kunafa will be made fresh; one visitor received a special fresh plate when the display was nearly empty.
Allow Time. If you are visiting for breakfast, allow extra time: one review records a half-hour wait and delayed tea refills.
Check Weight. For takeaway baklava, confirm the packed weight and cashier price before paying; one customer said 750 grams became 1200kg.
Use Road Parking. For a quick visit, look for roadside parking; one diner specifically found it easy to park beside the road.
Try Madlouka. Madlouka is one of the more distinctive sweets mentioned by returning customers, though individual preferences differ.

Common Concerns
Inconsistent Freshness
Reviews conflict on freshness: one customer found kunafa and cheese old, while another said baklava was not fresh.
Uneven Service
Service reports range from kind and attentive to a 30-minute breakfast wait and complaints about staff hospitality.
Price Concerns
Some customers consider prices high for the quality, including a review noting recent price increases.
Limited Seating
One kunafa customer reported that the outlet had no tables or chairs, so it may not suit a sit-down dessert stop.
Grill Problem
A customer said the meat in the family mixed grill smelled and remained undercooked after being reheated.

The Bottom Line
Al Sultan Sweets in Jumeirah works as both a sweets shop and a restaurant, with the strongest reasons to visit being kunafa, Arabic pastries and Levantine-style breakfast. Customers mention baklava, madlouka, foul and a breakfast set, while the attached sweets counter gives takeaway shoppers plenty to browse. Catering is also available, and one event customer praised the fresh presentation and punctual service.
Kunafa is the clearest signature: reviews describe it as freshly prepared for each order, and one customer received a new plate when the display was nearly empty. Other dessert mentions include Osmaliyeh with qashta, nammoora and Turkish coffee. The restaurant side has had good reports for salads, cold starters and mixed dips, although the family mixed grill drew a serious complaint about smelling, undercooked meat.
The main caution is inconsistency. Many visitors found the sweets fresh and the staff friendly, but others reported poor kunafa cheese, stale baklava, high prices and unhelpful or arrogant service. Breakfast service has also been slow on at least one visit, so allow time if you are in a hurry.
Roadside parking has been described as easy, while seating may be limited or unavailable for some dessert visits. For takeaway, check the weight and final price before paying.
