The Good Stuff
Helpful guidance
Staff take time to explain baklava varieties, ingredients and other desserts, useful for first-time visitors.
Tea pairing
Turkish tea is a recurring favourite alongside baklava, including a rich, steaming-hot traditional serving.
Outdoor seating
The outdoor area on The Walk suits people-watching and relaxing after a JBR stroll.
Clean interior
One recent visitor found the inside clean, neat and beautifully maintained.
Relaxed setting
A review found the JBR branch more relaxed than mall locations, making it easier to linger.
Tips for a Better Visit
Ask questions. If you are new to Turkish sweets, ask for an explanation of the baklava types and ingredients before choosing.
Try pairings. Order baklava with Turkish tea; several reviews describe the combination as especially satisfying.
Choose terrace. For a winter visit, choose the terrace seating, which one reviewer found well suited to the season.
Visit late. The JBR location is open late, so it works well as a dessert stop after an evening walk or dinner.
Try pairings. For coffee, ask for a dessert recommendation; one visitor received a pairing suggestion matched to their palate.
Share portions. If you want something rich but not too heavy, consider baklava with ice cream or pistachio tres leches; both were described that way.

The Bottom Line
Hafiz Mustafa 1864 is a Turkish dessert shop in Jumeirah Beach Residence, with a strong focus on baklava, lokum and traditional Turkish drinks. Reviews make it especially appealing for a dessert stop after dinner or a walk along The Walk, with indoor and outdoor seating and a more relaxed feel than mall branches. Baklava is the main draw, including versions served with Turkish ice cream, mixed-nut varieties and carrot-shaped baklava with qeshta.
Turkish tea and coffee are frequent companions, while the menu also gets specific praise for caramel tres leches, pistachio milk pudding, milk and pistachio cake, and Turkish tavuk gogsu. First-time visitors can ask the staff to explain the different baklava styles and ingredients; several reviews say this made choosing easier. The terrace is particularly attractive in winter, and the late opening suits an evening sweet treat.
The outdoor area also works for people-watching. Service is a consistent strength, with reviews describing the team as patient, attentive and welcoming. The main caution is cost: one Istanbul visitor said Dubai prices were five times higher than in Istanbul, so this may feel expensive if you are comparing destinations.
