I had a layover in Dubai airport while on my way to write about chocolate. So what does any self respecting chocolate addict do? Buy more chocolate of course!

The Original Fix Dubai Chocolate Story

It was 2021 when Sarah Hamouda the owner of Fix Dessert Chocolatier created the chocolate bars while on maternity leave to satisfy a pregnancy craving. These milk chocolate coated bars were filled with crisp kataifi pastry, pistachio cream and tahini and were called "Can't Get Knafeh of It". But it was in 2023 when Tiktoker Maria Vehera posted about the bar that the hype became real.

Fix Dessert Chocolatier does not export their Dubai chocolate bars so you can only get the viral pistachio chocolate bar in Dubai. Up until recently, the only way was ordering through Deliveroo between 2-5pm every day with a warning that they sell out quickly. Yes, it sounds crazy but Fix did not have a physical presence in Dubai and that was the only way to get your hands on it (or buy another brand or read my recipe How to make a Dubai Chocolate Bar).

Shopping at Dubai Airport

But now international travellers can get their fix of Fix at Terminal 3 at Dubai Airport or DXB. Their airport shop originally started as a pop up between January 17, 2025 until February 17, 2025 but proved so popular that a permanent store was open on May 15, 2025. I flew through Dubai airport on the 18th of May just a few days after so I had to go and visit.

Location and Timing

The Fix store is located in Terminal 3 or the international terminal in concourse B. I arrived at Concourse A and B is a train ride and walk away. Budget on around 30 minutes to go there, make a quick purchase and get back to concourse A for your flight.

Shopping Experience

The shop is small but it is busy. While there is always a bit of a queue, if you're mingling around the edge of the queue, staff will come up to you and take your order via their portable tablet so you are never waiting long.

The Chocolate Collection

Available Flavours and Pricing

There are three flavours available: the signature pistachio, Biscoff and pretzel. I didn't have time to think so I bought two original pistachio bars, one for myself and one for a friend. If I had my time again, I'd probably buy one of the pretzel and Biscoff too. The chocolate doesn't come cheap. It's 80AED or $22.20USD or $34.20AUD for a 200g/7ozs bar. There are actually more flavours available through Deliveroo like a dark chocolate version of the "Can't Get Knafeh Of It" bar as well as a heart shaped version and a "Mahalabi Or Not To Be" with mahalabia (milk pudding), crispy rice puffs and almond brittle in milk chocolate (the last one sounds amazing!).

Packaging and Quality

They bag it up and I am on my way back to Terminal C where I just make it in time to board. The chocolate has a used by date 03-07-2026 so there's no rush to eat it. But I am excited to try it and when I get home a couple of weeks later I break a bar open. The bar weighs 200g or 7ozs and it's wrapped in a graphic sleeve and rose gold foil.

Taste Test and Comparisons

The Original Fix Chocolate

The cacao butter "splatter" detail is in orange and green and they use milk chocolate to enrobe the pistachio kataifi filling. The 200g/7oz bar is around 15mm/0.6inch thick and the top chocolate is 1mm/0.04inch thick and the base is 2mm/0.08inch thick. The filling has a light "grassy" green colour. I eagerly take a bite. It's absolutely delicious with a really nice pistachio flavour to it. The Fix Chocolate Bar does look a bit different to the photo on their site and the kataifi is more crushed up than the one that I make and it looks like mine has a bit more pistachio paste and a bit more salt added to it. When I developed my Dubai Chocolate Bar recipe, I was basing it on the photo on their site.

Comparing Dubai Chocolate Bar Brands

I compare the original Fix chocolate bar the other two other Dubai style chocolate bars by Lindt. One is available at Lindt stores and online and is a 145g/5oz bar. The second is one that I made at the Lindt museum in Kilchberg, Zurich (more on that coming up!). The classes are 60CHF and go for an hour and teach you how to make a 250g/8.8ozs Dubai style chocolate and include one of the 145g bars.

From top to bottom: Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate 145g, Lindt Dubai style chocolate Cooking class 250g, my Dubai chocolate recipe 500g, Fix Dubai chocolate

The 145g/5oz Lindt Dubai bar is really nothing at all like the Fix one. You can probably see how thin it is compared to the others and you simply cannot get enough of the pistachio kataifi filling in it. There's the ever so slightest crunch in it but really, this is not it. The bar made at the Lindt factory was much better but the base chocolate was too thick so it did affect the bite. The filling is nice and crunchy though although they do not use tahini in their kataifi filling. My bar has a lot of kataifi filling and the texture of the kataifi is coarser that gives it a bigger crunch while the Fix one is finer but still giving it crunch. I loved the flavour of the pistachio cream in theirs. All in all, it's definitely worth buying (or making the Dubai chocolate bar yourself if you aren't passing through Dubai airport!).

So tell me Dear Reader, have you tried the original Fix Dubai chocolate bar? Would you buy it if you were passing through DXB?

The Fix Dubai chocolate bars were independently paid for.
