The Good Stuff
Saffron Ice Cream
Saffron ice cream received a particularly strong review, especially alongside Turkish coffee.
Affordable Treats
Several reviews describe the sweets, coffee and small meals as reasonably priced, including an afternoon tea reported at AED21.
Pastry Choice
The counter includes a broad selection of fresh pastries, Iranian sweets, cakes and Arabic options such as baklava.
Cozy Setting
Customers describe the renovated café as clean, cozy and suitable for a relaxed catch-up or group visit.
Cake Orders
Birthday cakes can be ordered, and one customer said a cake bought for their daughter was delicious.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Cream Puff. Start with the cream puff; it is the item several returning customers specifically come back for.
Ask Customisation. For bulk cream-puff orders, ask whether a chocolate glaze can be added on top.
Check Sweetness. If you prefer less-sweet desserts, ask before ordering: reviews differ on how sugary the cakes and puffs taste.
Confirm Cakes. For a birthday cake, confirm the box size, collection time and delivery plan directly before relying on the order.
Plan Parking. Allow extra time if driving, as one long-standing review mentions difficulty finding parking around the area.
Expect Compact. Choose it for a small catch-up rather than guaranteed seating; a repeat visitor suggested replacing the large tables.

The Bottom Line
Iranian Sweets is a small coffee shop in Al Rigga built around Iranian pastries, cakes and cold desserts. The cream puff is the clearest reason to stop: multiple customers return for it, and one review mentions the option of adding a chocolate glaze for bulk orders. Saffron ice cream, Turkish coffee, baklava and Iranian falooda give first-timers plenty to explore, while tea and coffee make it easy to keep the visit simple.
Prices are a strong part of the appeal. 25. A dated review also mentions a AED10 Happy Hour Promo with cream puff and fresh coconut.
The setting is described as clean, cozy and recently renovated, though it is compact, with limited tables and no restroom facilities mentioned in one review. Service is not completely consistent. Many customers describe polite, accommodating staff, but others report being ignored, treated rudely or given conflicting information.
Cake orders deserve extra confirmation: one review describes a late delivery and poor communication despite ordering a day ahead. If you are driving, parking may be difficult nearby.
