Brace your sweet tooth, Dubai. Something wild just crossed over from Cairo’s dessert labs, and it’s wearing burger buns. Egypt’s notorious dessert disruptor, B.Laban, has launched a Dubai Chocolate Burger, and calling it “extra” doesn’t even scratch the surface.
Dubai’s Chocolate Burger Twist: Egypt’s B.Laban Just Went Rogue With Dessert

Now, if you’ve ever stumbled upon B.Laban’s past creations, you’ll know this place doesn’t do desserts quietly. They’ve made everything from molten basbousa to Lotus disasters that feel like edible science experiments. But this chocolate burger? It’s on another level. It looks innocent on the outside, but once you peel back those chocolate buns, things get unhinged real quick.
We’re talking mystery patty. No one really knows what’s inside. It could be chocolate fudge. Could be halawa. It could be a sweet identity crisis. There’s sauce, too much of it. Some of it looks like chocolate, the rest? Unclear. It oozes. It drips.
Dubai Dessert Syndrome Is Real
Let’s be real. This has Dubai written all over it. That over-the-top stack? The unapologetic drizzle? The chaos? It screams Dubai Dessert Syndrome. That’s when your dessert comes with more accessories than a wedding guest. Think Nutella floods, kunafa crowns, and dramatic gold flakes you definitely don’t need but will eat anyway.
B Laban has caught the bug. Hard. They’ve watched enough Dubai TikToks to know that it’s not a dessert unless it looks like it’s about to collapse on itself. So they’ve done what any sugar-fuelled genius would do. They made a burger. Out of dessert. Not a doughnut burger. Not an ice cream sandwich. A full-on chocolate burger with dessert layers no one asked for but everyone now wants to try.
A Bun Intended Crime
Now, we won’t pretend this is some Michelin-level pastry breakthrough. It’s messy. It’s confusing. It should be illegal in some countries. But it’s bold. And in the Middle East, bold gets shared. One bite and you’re in a full sugar rush. Two bites and you start questioning your life choices. By the third, you’re googling if chocolate-induced hallucinations are real.

So, Should You Try It?
Yes. Obviously. Not because it makes sense. But because it’s too bizarre to ignore. This isn’t about taste. This is about commitment to the craft of dessert madness. Egypt, you’ve met your match. Cairo just clapped back with something that belongs in a dessert museum or maybe a therapy session.
No word yet on when or if it’ll hit UAE menus, but let’s just say, if it does, save the gym for next week. This burger is a sugar-stacked, chocolate-drenched, basbousa-blessed statement. And we’re here for it.
