The Good Stuff
Pistachio Favourite
Pistachio is repeatedly singled out, including as a favourite topping and a recommended manager pairing with Oreo.
Gelato Pairings
Customers pair the lukumades with gelato flavours such as mango, hazelnut, cookies and cream, and tiramisu.
Drink Choice
The drinks go beyond coffee, with reviews specifically praising iced Karak, lychee drinks and thick Bueno shakes.
Mixable Portions
The portions are generous, and a tray can include 10 pieces with mixed flavours, making it easy to share or compare toppings.
Outdoor Seating
The Box Park setting includes indoor seating and outdoor tables shaded by umbrellas.
Dairy-Free Choice
One customer noted that a dairy-free companion could find an option, and another requested an almond-milk shake.
Helpful Service
Reviewers describe staff as friendly and say they offered recommendations based on customers’ tastes.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Fresh. Order the lukumades fresh; one review says the dough is renewed every 30 minutes, so the preparation is part of the appeal.
Mix Flavours. Choose the 10-piece tray if you want to compare toppings, since a customer mixed Bueno and Jam It in one order.
Ask Options. If dairy matters, ask about available choices: one reviewer said their dairy-free companion was able to find an option.
Try Karak. The iced Karak is a clearly recommended pairing, while another customer specifically remembered enjoying Karak made with oat milk.
Use Parking. A review reports free parking around the café, which may make a dessert stop easier if you are driving to Box Park.
Sit Outside. For an outdoor break, choose the umbrella-shaded seating mentioned by a customer who visited the Box Park branch.

The Bottom Line
Lukumades is a dessert café in Al Wasl built around Greek-style doughnut balls, or loukoumades: small, freshly made bites finished with toppings. The menu is broad enough for a proper sweet stop, with pistachio, Bueno, Lotus, Nutella and glazed options, plus gelato and milkshakes. Coffee and iced Karak give non-dessert drinkers something to order too.
Freshness is a recurring strength. Customers say the doughnuts are made while you watch, with one review noting that the dough is renewed every 30 minutes. The 10-piece tray can be mixed across flavours, which makes it a practical choice for sharing or tasting several combinations.
Pistachio is the safest crowd-pleaser in the reviews, while Bueno appears often for chocolate fans. The setting is described as cosy and bright, with indoor seating and an outdoor terrace shaded by umbrellas. Reviews also mention free parking around the location.
Staff are frequently praised for explaining the menu and suggesting combinations, so first-time visitors can ask for guidance rather than guess. One caution: a customer found the Kinder Bueno and Snickers orders overloaded with chocolate. If that sounds too rich, consider a simpler glaze or balance the doughnuts with gelato or a coffee.
