What to Eat at Granny's Waffles | Dubai Mall 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 Granny's Waffles | Dubai Mall, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Granny's Waffles | Dubai Mall, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

“We tried their mixed berry waffles and pizza crepe. Both the dishes were good. Waffles were made to perfection. Really love the fluffiness and the taste. However, they could have taken extra effort to ensure the freshness of the berries as the blueberries were soggy and were tasting like it was a week old produce.”October 2021

Tips for a Better Visit
Visit off-peak. Try a quieter time rather than a weekend rush; one review says the place gets extremely crowded on weekends.
Adjust sweetness. If you prefer less sweet desserts, ask for sauces separately so you can add them yourself.
Check your order. Keep an eye on the order if service is busy: one customer waited 15 minutes after an item was forgotten.
Try savoury. The Pizza Crepe is a useful alternative if you do not want a purely sweet dessert.

The Bottom Line
Granny’s Waffles is a dessert stop in Downtown Dubai, inside Dubai Mall beside the waterfall. People come for freshly prepared waffles, pancakes and crepes, with the view and calm atmosphere making it an appealing pause during a shopping trip. The seating is small, but the setting can feel pleasantly removed from the mall’s noise.
There is plenty of variety within the dessert focus. The Original Belgian Waffle is served with rich chocolate, biscuit crumbles, whipped cream and chocolate ice cream, while the Heavenly Mixed-Berry Waffle combines crisp waffles, fresh berries and milk chocolate. The Kunafa Pistachio Waffle and Pizza Crepe are also named favourites, and sweet and savoury crepes give you an escape from the usual dessert-only order.
Service is usually described as friendly, professional and accommodating. Staff have prepared sauces separately for customers who prefer less sweetness, and several reviews mention quick service. Still, allow for occasional lapses: one order was forgotten for 15 minutes, and another visit involved repeated delays.
Weekend seating can be especially tight. Dessert portions and flavours are generally well received, but texture is not perfectly consistent. Some customers found waffles dense or crepes hard, and drinks such as cappuccino and chocolate milkshake received mixed feedback.
If you have a serious sweet tooth, the richer options should suit you.
