The Bottom Line
Yathrib Trading Co. is a Deira stop for chocolates, dates, nuts and dried fruits, especially if you are assembling gifts to take home. Reviews mention premium dates, chocolate-coated nuts, Iranian saffron and attractive gift boxes, while several shoppers say the products are fresh and well presented.
The tasting option is one of the most useful features for a first visit. Customers say they were able to try different varieties before choosing, including chocolates with flavours such as pistachio, caramel, saffron and pecan. That makes it easier to compare rather than guess from the display.
The store is also described as clean and organised, although one reviewer felt service could be faster. Prices are commonly described as affordable, fair or good value, and discounts are mentioned. There are two important cautions in the feedback.
One tourist alleged that almonds supplied after purchase were lower quality than the sample, while another disputed a bill that changed from AED 302 to AED 317. For a sizeable order, confirm the product, quantity and final total before paying. The shop is reported open daily from 8 AM to 11 PM, with delivery from 9 AM to 11 PM.
