The Bottom Line
Firas Sweets is an Arabic confectionery shop in Al Twar, with kunafa as the main draw. You can buy different kunafa styles, including cheese versions, alongside baklava and other sweets. Reviews repeatedly describe the kunafa as fresh, balanced and good value, while a long-time customer says its taste has stayed consistent for 11 years.
There is useful choice within the kunafa: one regular mentions khashna and na'ama with cheese, and another highlights the sweet-crunchy texture with gooey cheese. Baklava is also singled out, while Um Ali and Warbat get individual mentions. Daily preparation is reported for several sweets, and extra pistachio topping can be requested.
Prices are described as reasonable, but check the total before paying. 50 bill; another reported a 500gm box listed at 60dhs online but charged 70dhs in-store. A separate review mentions a AED15 minimum for dine-in, even with vacant seating.
Service reports are mixed: some customers mention polite, respectful or fast staff, while others describe rudeness, ignored orders and poor hospitality. There are also complaints about cold sweets and a rolled kunafa microwaved before handover. Paid parking is reported directly in front, which makes takeaway easier.
