The Ultimate Ramadan Dessert Guide: 11 Treats You Need to Try in Beirut
Post-iftar cravings hit pretty hard sometimes, especially when you’re looking for something sweet to eat, but the traditional Arabic desserts won’t suffice. Here are 11 Ramadan desserts in Beirut we’re secretly hoping stay on the menu even after the month is over.
1. Jallab Frappé from Ministry of Coffee, Starco
The post-iftar kick you actually need, blended with classic Jallab.
2. Pistachio Galette from Vanilla Bean, Kantari
Buttery, flaky, and packed with pistachios. The cool cousin of a traditional tart.
3. Em Ali Soft Serve from Em Sherif Deli, Minet El Hosn
Comes in three forms: an affogato, choco-date brown butter cookie, and a regular soft serve.
4. Knefeh Cake from Baker House (Online)
If you think a whole syrup-covered knefeh cake is too much, it’s actually not enough.
5. Saffron Roll Cake from Maison D, Downtown Beirut
A light, airy sponge with just the right amount of saffron for a kinda extra sugar fix.
6. Oriental Tart from NOUGi, Achrafieh
A super aesthetic mix of French technique and local flavors.
7. Pistachio Ashta Cinnamon Rolls from SmushKies, Mar Mikhael
The ultimate fusion: mouthwatering cinnamon rolls leveled up with creamy Ashta and extra pistachios.
8. Ashta Honey Croffle from Croffee, Kouraytem
A crispy, honey-drizzled croffle topped with fresh Ashta.
9. Meghli Cake from Hallab 1881, multiple branches
A clever, cakey twist on the traditional spiced caraway pudding we all grew up with.
10. Osmaliye Rose Water Donut from Bakerloo, Bliss, Badaro & Dbayeh
A fluffy donut filled with rose cream and topped with that signature crunchy Osmaliye crust.
11. Moon Pistachio Ice Cream Cake from XnDoughs, multiple branches
The perfect crescent-shaped centerpiece, loaded with pistachio ice cream.
