The Good Stuff
Daily selection
One review says the shop has many varieties of Arabic sweets freshly made every day, with sample tasters to help you choose.
Syrian ghee
A reviewer with specialist experience praised the distinctive natural Syrian ghee taste, especially in the kunafa.
Warm service
A customer described the welcome as warm and the service as prompt, friendly and attentive.
Traditional style
Reviews describe the sweets as traditional Arabic offerings, with taste, elegance and cleanliness noted together.
Tips for a Better Visit
Use apps. For online orders, use other delivery apps rather than the website, which one reviewer specifically advised against.
Confirm fees. Ask for the final delivery charge before paying, since one customer was charged 15 dirhams despite being told delivery was free.
Check dates. Inspect production dates before buying; one customer alleged that older stock was being displayed and sold.
Ask samples. Ask whether tasters are available before choosing; one review says sample pieces were usually offered, although another customer was refused a taste.
Confirm shipping. For overseas or event orders, confirm the shipping booking and refund terms in writing before paying upfront.

The Bottom Line
Al Sultan Sweets is an Arabic confectionery store in Al Qusais where the clearest draw is the traditional sweets counter. Customers particularly mention kunafeh and baklava, and one reviewer says the shop has many varieties made fresh each day, with sample tasters to help with the choice. Another praises the natural Syrian ghee taste, especially in the kunafa.
There are also references to Dubai Famous Chocolate with pistachio kunafa, while some reviews mention the wider Al Sultan kitchen and dishes such as mansaf and kibbeh. That makes the business feel broader than a sweets-only stop, though the strongest review evidence is still around Arabic desserts. Service and ordering are less consistent.
Some customers describe a warm welcome and prompt service, but others report a two-hour delivery delay, a 15-dirham delivery charge despite claims of free delivery, and phone orders that arrived stale or disappointing. A separate review alleges old production dates and refused sampling. Prices may also feel steep: one customer cites 29 dirhams for a single piece of Turkish baklava.
Finally, because a later review says “Closed permanently”, check that the branch is operating before setting out or placing a large order. For international orders, confirm shipping arrangements and refund terms in writing.
