What to Eat at Feras sweets & restaurant 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 Feras sweets & restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. 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.

Cheesy kunafeh Net −1
“I got a mixed plate of creamy and cheesy kunafeh. They were both stale and have been in the open for quite some time as they have a hard to chew texture and the edges were extremely dry. If I came earlier, I probably would've had a better experience as the taste and ingredients are good. My only complain is the staleness of the desserts.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Decline Water. Tell staff clearly if you do not want bottled water; several diners were charged for bottles they did not request.
Check Freshness. Ask whether the kunafa is hot and fresh before ordering, since other customers received it cold or stale.
Allow Time. Build in extra time for table service or delivery; one customer reported a 50-minute order delay.
Check Delivery. Inspect the order when it arrives and contact the restaurant promptly if anything is missing; one delivery lacked a portion.
Consider Takeaway. Takeaway may be worth considering if you want to avoid the reported slow table service and uncomfortable outdoor seating.

The Bottom Line
Feras Sweets & Restaurant in Trade Centre is part Arabic sweet shop, part casual restaurant. The menu mentioned in reviews includes kunafa, baklava, mansaf, musakhan, shawarma and pizza, so you can come for dessert or a full meal rather than sweets alone. Mansaf and some meat dishes are the clearest food strengths: one diner called the mansaf and sajjeyeh superb, while another praised a half grilled chicken with rice, salad and dessert.
Kunafa is much less predictable. Some customers received it hot and fresh, and one liked the contrast of crispy vermicelli and chewy cheese. Others described it as cold, stale, excessively sweet or unlike authentic kunafa; a 24-dirham serving was particularly criticised.
Baklava and cardamom coffee also receive positive mentions, although dessert quality varies by visit. The location has a skyline-facing atmosphere, with reviews mentioning views toward DIFC and Downtown. Takeaway is worth considering, but table service and delivery can be slow: reported problems include a 50-minute delay, a missing delivery portion and a total order experience lasting around three and a half hours.
Before settling in, decline any bottled water you do not want, check the bill, and ask whether the kunafa is freshly prepared. Staff helpfulness also appears inconsistent.
