This Summer, Chill Out By Gorging On UAE’s Biggest Kakigori At This Dubai Restaurant

If you’ve lived in Dubai for longer than five minutes, you know the summer heat doesn’t play. But guess who does? Alba Restaurant, serving up the UAE’s biggest Kakigori to keep you cool without breaking a sweat. This isn’t just dessert. This is an edible snowstorm, and we are drooling already!

Chill Like A Pro With UAE’s Largest Kakigori Serving At Alba Restaurant

First, let’s get one thing straight: Kakigori isn’t your average ice treat. It’s Japan’s fluffy, syrup-drenched dessert. Think delicate shavings of ice soaked in sweet syrups, creamy condensed milk, and a whole lot of summertime joy. Now take that image and supersize it.

Alba’s version is a dramatic, share-worthy mountain of shaved ice made for two or three people (or one very ambitious foodie, no judgement here). Whether you’re escaping the sun or just in the mood to indulge indoors, this dessert is the ultimate cool-down companion.

Three Flavours, Zero Regrets

Alba didn’t just stop at size, they’ve gone all in with flavour too. You get to pick from three delightful options:

• Tropical Breeze – A lush mix of mango and coconut cream.
• Matcha Garden – This one’s a green tea-lover’s dream with matcha, watermelon, and strawberry.
• Caramel Mist – Meet creamy dulce de leche topped with crunchy crumble.

And yes, if you’re feeling extra or simply don’t want to share, there’s a smaller solo portion that’s all yours for just AED 45.
