Popular Perth ribs joint launches viral Dubai choc desserts
A Perth restaurant, known for its American-style barbecue ribs, is causing a stir among the food community following the launch of its viral Dubai chocolate-inspired desserts. The head chef at Ribs Lane was inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate taking social media feeds by storm to create rich, over-the-top treats for dessert lovers wanting in on the global obsession. The Dubai chocolate sweet treat craze recently popped off on TikTok thanks to influencers promoting Dubai chocolate — a chocolate bar containing a filling made with kadayif and pistachio — created by Emirati Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai. Head chef Nicka Isabella said the team saw the trend explode overseas and wanted to create something that would give Perth a taste of the hype. 'It's not just about going viral. These desserts taste as good as they look. Perth deserves its own over-the-top dessert experience, and this is it,' she said. The desserts are unapologetically extra.

'These desserts are unapologetically extra and that's exactly what we wanted,' Nicka said. 'We've developed our own special recipe and flavour profile that's got people returning again and again. They are indulgent, fun, and impossible to ignore - both on the table and on social media.' People with a sweet tooth can indulge in viral Dubai chocolate loukamades ($17), waffles ($17) and cups ($15). The Ribs Lane Subiaco location will also offer a dessert pizza ($23).

Shake Shack's viral Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake is back by popular demand next week
As if you needed another reason to visit Shake Shack (seriously, we already have their crinkle fries way too often), it's bringing back its smash-hit Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake to all locations nationwide. We first encountered the viral milkshake back in April 2025, when it was given a limited-time test run at select Shack locations in Los Angeles, New York and Miami. Visitors in those lucky cities formed lines to make sure they could get the drink—and by 10 a.m. each day, the shakes had run out. So now, Shake Shack is making sure you can get one, too. Starting Tuesday, June 24, the brand will be serving the Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake at all Shake Shack locations nationwide. It's a drinkable take on the titular chocolate bar (which has been transformed into everything from boozy cocktails to cheesecake bombs), which was first created by Emirati Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai and became popular on TikTok for its delicious mix of smooth milk chocolate filled with crispy, finely shredded filo dough kadayif and creamy pistachio and tahini filling. According to Shake Shack's press release, its international team visited the Middle East in December 2024 and first got the idea to make a milkshake based on the dessert—the culinary team was already working on developing the crackable chocolate shell and this seemed like the perfect bev to apply it to. The Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake first became available at Shake Shacks in, where else, Dubai this February, before it came to LA, NYC and Miami two months later. And now the rest of the U.S. will get a taste. The shake will be priced at $9.49 and will contain pistachio frozen custard blended with toasted kadayif, covered in a crackable dark chocolate shell you can plunge through with your straw. On top, you'll find a sprinkling of chopped pistachios and kadayif. Your nearest Shake Shack will start churning these up next Tuesday but get there early—the premium ingredients required to make it mean that there will only be 50 shakes available each day. Moreover, you can't order by app—you have to go in person to get one. That kind of continues the mystique of the original bar, but at least you don't have to go all the way to Dubai for it!

This Brooklyn bar turns viral Dubai chocolate into a boozy cocktail
Some trends are just too delicious to resist. Most recently, Dubai chocolate has captivated sweets lovers across the globe, drowning social media feeds and emptying wallets everywhere. Already, there are a half dozen places to find Dubai chocolate in NYC. The viral, pistachio-and-phyllo–flecked confection even inspired Sweet Graffiti bakery to add a Middle Eastern twist to their menu, lacing vanilla soft-serve ice cream with Dubai-style chocolate sauce, pistachio cream, and toasted kataifi. Now, another, much boozier rendition has debuted the Arlo Williamsburg: the 'Dubai Me A Drink' cocktail. Sip your dessert by sidling up to the bar at Sungold, the Italian leaning, seasonally-driven restaurant set inside the Brooklyn hotel. Rather than replicate the original Arabic treat, mixologist Armando Acevedo made it his own, infusing his spiked interpretation with nostalgic, high-impact flavors. The creamy, dreamy 'Dubai Me A Drink' swirls 100-percent American corn vodka with house-made pistachio cream, rich chocolate liqueur, cacao bitters, roasted pistachios and a luxurious hint of saffron. To mimic the dazzling, green and gold bars first created by Emirati Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, curvy coup glasses are embellished with generous swipes of chocolate and showering of crispy kataifi (shredded phyllo). The textural contrasts in this cocktail are deliciously thrilling — we can't wait to taste it alongside one of the restaurant's decadent desserts, like Orange Blossom panna cotta or flourless chocolate terrine with raspberry gelato.
