Incredible authentic Middle Eastern coffee, baklava, Dubai chocolate and sweets! One of the best in the area. Five stars all around- highly recommend. read more

New dessert spot !!! The service was as friendly as it gets, ambiance exciting , if your a fan of Turkish delights this place feels like Charlie wonka's chocolate factory. So much to try and experience , ps the coffee is blended with spices. It's very unique with strong notes of ginger and cardamom. The pistachio baklava is crispy , rich, and just perfectly made. I've had many this is one of the best Tampa has to offer. read more

The service is really amazing! Shay helped us out at the cash register to get our dubai strawberries! The place is really clean!

This is an excellent sweets and spice shop! They're in a tiny corner off Busch and the inside is crammed full of goodies. There's bulk spices, from za'atar to falafel seasoning and everything in between. There's a case of many Turkish delight options, including classics like pistachio and newer varieties like bubble gum. The gent working clipped a couple sample pieces before I purchased a small assortment. He also kindly offered a cardamom flavored black coffee while I browsed the shop. There's also bulk candy bins for more unusual gummy options, nuts behind the deli counter glass, and a back room with tea sets and similar small home things. If you've never been to a store like this before, don't worry, they will guide you and explain anything if you have questions. It's a great little shop that's totally worth checking out. read more

Wow, Dubai chocolate made in house. Spices, coffee and a big variety of Turkish Delight platters too Very friendly staff. read more

They had a lot of options. Drove an hour as we saw some tik toks showing they had the viral fruit desserts not the ice cream version. Only to find out they no longer sell the mousse/non ice cream type. That was a disappointment. We tried one of each that they had available of the ice cream versions. Most were ok 2-3 out of 5. Lemon flavor was good the best one. We also scooped some pistachio cream and kataifi to make some Dubai chocolate bars at home. Their pistachio cream was extremely overpriced. read more

If you're looking for a unique spot to check out in Tampa, look no further. Al-Taybat has everything you need, want and more. I went to try their Dubai chocolate strawberry cup and walked out with SO many more things. The viral fruit shaped ice cream, Dubai chocolate, Turkish delights, snacks, and more lol. The service has always been top notch and everything is so incredibly flavorful, but the spot transports you to the Middle East without ever leaving Tampa which I find to be such a cool experience. If you go, make sure you try the kunefeh and their desserts, they're all freshly made and truly delicious. read more

Palestinian market with all kinds of sights and smells. When I first walked in, my eye caught a glimpse of mango juice. They have a vast array of spices, and nuts as well. There are many types of flaky desserts and different types of Turkish delights. They are happy to point them out to you. I wanted to find out about their Dubai chocolate and they gave me a small bite. It's like kunafa(flaky like shredded wheat), milk chocolate, cream cocoa, & pistachio filling. It was good. Dubai chocolate was $15 for half a bar. $25 for a full off hand. I didn't buy it. I bought two pieces of round truffle chocolates which were priced by pound which is how they do it. It is def a different type of market that I a accustomed too and I did enjoy checking it out. Everyone was nice and helpful. Today, Nov. 2, their Instagram says they are giving away 300 free Dubai Chocolate. read more

OMG, you need to try their Dubai chocolate bars! I'm from Chicago but was visiting the clearwater area and saw an Instagram reel for this as we were looking for a good Dubai chocolate place :) this place popped up and even though it was a drive, we decided to go try it out and I'm sooooo happy we did! We were greeted by Sahar who was so nice and gave us free samples which automatically sold me. The best Dubai chocolate I've ever had. Instant crunch with the kanefeh! When you enter the shop you're surrounded by so many different middle eastern foods and spices, really cool to see! But if you're in need of a sweet treat, look no further. I'm coming here every time I'm in Tampa hands down. Also, if you want to bring some back home they provide ice bags so will be taking this with me back home! read more

A Middle-Eastern grocery store with a 1000 and 1 imported delights. The name is derived from Saudi Arabia. From coffee, to spices, roasted nuts, decadent pastries, seeds, turkish delights, flavored nuts, sweets, homemade products, teas and their iconic Dubai Chocolate Cup with Strawberries. With a unique crispy crunchy pistachio topping that had a texture of pistachio sugar crystals. The Dubai Cup alone is worth the trip. An ambrosial, delectable and heavenly treat in a plastic cup for $12. The prices seem high but I don't know because I am unfamiliar with what normal pricing should be. But, I was quick to reach $100 and ended up putting stuff back. The cashier noticed my hesitation and gave me a 10% discount to ease my pain. I ended up with nuts, spices and 4 Dubai cups. I used the spices to make some tasty wings. If your in an adventurous mood, this is one of the places in this area of middle-eastern stores that you do not want to miss. I am already planning a return visit to collect some of the many spices and spice mixes that I saw. A huge array heaped in bowls like a bazaar. I love to experiment in the kitchen. They are located on Busch Blvd. just east of Mel's Hot Dogs and near Sammi's Bakery, another must see. read more

This is the new bar that they just put out and it is so much better than the Dubai bar so you know it's amazing because Dubai bar is so so good. I don't know what to say other than this is a really cool place to walk into and experience it's family owned, and these chocolate bars are amazing. these bars are $25 and they are worth every penny so go get you one! Tell him you want the new bar and I believe it's called the baklava bar. The Dubai bar has that pistachio crunch, but This has like a little bit of a nuttier crunch. They're both amazing but I would definitely try the new bar. read more

Me and my friend brought our daughters here to get the infamous Dubai chocolate bar that everyone raves about on social media - it did NOT disappoint. The original Dubai chocolate bar is really delicious, but they also have different flavors, we tried the biscoff cookie version as well and we loved it. Definitely recommend trying! read more

Come today first time. Very friendly woman working. Give sample coffee and chocolate. So decided buy coffee. But I don't know price,when I started paying. She said 5 dollars coffee. OMG is overpriced for 12oz. Coffee is good but not for 5 bucks. Come on is too pricey. Store looks cool but product and coffee is too expensive. I am not coming back read more

I placed an online order on December 3rd and just got my refund 21st. Over the following weeks, my wife and I had to call the store repeatedly--more than eight times--trying to get our order shipped or at least receive a clear update. To be fair, the staff members we spoke with were kind, professional, and genuinely helpful. Each time, they explained that the situation could only be resolved by the owner and that they would pass along my contact information so he could reach out. Unfortunately, the owner never contacted me, and no one followed up to resolve the issue or ship the order. Because of this, I never had the opportunity to evaluate the product quality. This review is strictly about the online ordering and communication process, which was extremely disappointing. After a long period with no resolution, I requested a refund. In order to receive it, I had to drive nearly 1 hour and 45 minutes from Orlando to the physical store, which should never be necessary for an online order. I am Palestinian and Muslim, and in accordance with Islamic values of fairness, honesty, and accountability, the way this online order was handled was very troubling. I am sharing this experience to respectfully warn other Muslims and non-Muslims from the Middle East(because it's a Middle Eastern establishment) to be cautious and to avoid ordering online from this business. In-person service may be different, but based on my experience, the online process was poorly managed and caused unnecessary stress. I usually order these products online from Chicago(Omar Basha) and decided to try supporting a local business instead. Unfortunately, my online experience here was very disappointing, with poor communication and no resolution until I showed up in person for a refund. I rely heavily on online ordering for products that remind me of home, so reliability is important to me. After this experience, I'll either order in person only or return to ordering online from places that have consistently been dependable. read more

Amazing Palestinian shop with all the spices and sweets you could desire. I was immediately greeted by the staff and offered a cup of coffee. It was a very warm and welcoming feeling as soon as I walked through the door. A lady behind the back counter came out with a sample of try of their house made Dubai chocolate and Biscoff chocolate. My intent for coming was the Dubai chocolate, so it was nice to be able to sample before purchasing. I walked out with my intended purchase and two pieces of fresh baklava. The shop was very welcoming and the ambiance encourages you to weaving in and out exploring all of their products. They are located street facing in a small shopping center, so parking may be tight. It's worth the visit! read more

The best customer service experience. I was attracted to this place because of a video I saw about Dubai Chocolate and how this place has it. Being in the area I stopped by. I was greeted with warm welcomes and offers of coffee. Every single Middle Eastern spice of dessert was there. They were offering me free samples of their newer creations. I only spent $30 there but I will be back. Their desserts were all fresh and amazing. There is something so understated about mixing honey and pistachios. Anyway, they treated me incredibly and you should consider their pastries over the typical. You will be pleasantly surprised and thank me for it. read more

I've never been to Lebanon but if the hospitality is anything like it is at this hidden local gem grocery, it's definitely worth visiting! Upon walking in, we pleasantly encountered sights, delights and welcoming staff! The grocery is spotlessly clean, well lit and full of wonders! We first met Hassan who encouraged us to sample some of his pistachio crunchy sweet vaguely baklava-like unique pastries! Oh my gosh they are good! We bought many! Plus, Hassan graciously allowed us to take his picture and even got a picture with my wife! Priceless! Then, we met Dean. He explained the wonders of Lebanese almonds, spices and coffee. I got some of all three! The coffee can be ground to order with or without cardamom. We of course got with! Then Dean offered me some free coffee already made for customers. Smooth, black and energizing! The almonds from Lebanon are delicious and easily twice as big as we're used to. We got half a lb and some Lebanese roasted peanuts as well! The spices are plentiful and only $10/lb. We didn't need a lb so the price was very affordable. I got three different Lebanese spices and we used the Lebanese spice mix designed for meats to make seasoned hamburgers tonight. On my gosh! Two heaping tablespoons of Lebanese spice, one teaspoon of salt, 2 lbs of good fresh organic meat mixed with 2 eggs, half a chopped onion and some seasoned Panko bread crumbs. A literal taste sensation ensued! Best burgers ever when cooked quickly in a very hot cast iron skillet. Life is great with Lebanese hospitality and delicacies! read more

This Roastery has a large variety of middle eastern goods - from homemade desserts, spices, nuts and more it was amazing seeing such a large selection of products. It was interesting seeing international products I've never eaten before. The employees were also great at helping us select from the vast variety of TASTY desserts. I got baklava, Turkish delights, hummus and pita and everything was delicious. Not everything is labeled (or labeled in English) so I would suggest adding for more clarity but either way a great spot! read more

Incredible. Oh my god. Between the food selection and service I've gone multiple times and love it

The store is incredible. Extremely organized and so much to offer. Beautiful displays. So many unique items such as nuts, candy and spices. Dubai chocolate (very expensive), Turkish delights and baklava are available. We purchased the dates, nuts, candy and a strawberry cup covered in chocolate and wheat straws (i believe) which was incredible! I can't wait to go back! read more

Mouth watering variety of sweets and treats. The baklavas are all sticky and shatter perfectly and the cream filled desserts are also amazing. I ordered an assortment of the offerings and none of them disappointed. The knafa was warm and stretchy and they offered samples as well. They were friendly and offered to answer any questions. I will definitely be back to try more and browse the shop area. read more

My first visit, looking for some Mediterranean spices and totally impressed with the business and the staff. Found everything I needed and was helped throughout the whole process with a smile. I will definitely come back here. It was clean and had what I needed. read more

So many treats here! I think my friend and I took almost an hour to explore and look at everything. The atmosphere is very exciting and lively. We were given a sample of coffee while we were there which was very nice of them. We came to support a Palestinian business and to try the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup (it was A+ and I'm going to come back for it again) for $11.99 and ended up also getting other things too. I want to go back and try the baked goods too. read more

What a circus. Drove from Orlando to check this kunefe out since TikTok made it look sooooo good. Now I know what you're thinking. Oh this guy is a just a miserable person blah blah. I never ever go out my way to leave such a negative review. Now I'm not complaining about the outrageous prices for this below average deserts. No. I'm not complaining over how the lady working the sweets section cannot multi task and work with purpose and sense of urgency with a line growing and lost in la la land.. nooo! I am complaining because how the **** do you guys run out of the Kunefe???? THE ONE SINGLE thing you guys are blowing up over ?? SUNDAY on a Sunday!!!!!!! I cannot believe that I was told that "oh the guy that makes this is not here and this is the only tray we have.." I said do you guys have any in back? "No this was the only one he made this morning" IT WAS 12:15 when I got there. What an embarrassment! I'm Middle Eastern and love to see our culture blossom in today's world.. which is why I drove the 2 hours on a Sunday. Stupid me. Gets better!!! Where's the restroom? "Oh we clogged it up with the grease so all our pipes are clogged" unbelievable. What a joke. read more
