Incredible idea in an amazing location, next to Burj Al Arab. You will have to take the order from there, then head off to the beach with Burj Al Arab in sight if you want to take an incredible photo and enjoy the beach with something cold, yet different.The above layer is warm whilst the bottom layer is cold (As it is ice cream). The above layer is very sweet, to be frank, especially the pistachio flavour, in my opinion. However, I enjoyed all three flavours. It is a bit pricey, but it is worth trying, at least once. If you get the medium cup, it will be less sweet as there is more ice-cream to balance the taste.Also, the place looks wonderful to the eyes. It has a different vibe to it. It feels old yet new.Prices (as per my memory) 25 for the small, 45 for the medium (there’s no big)

For the taste I have to give five stars however it is expensive in comparison to the portion that you take and that why I have to put four stars . The shop is small and suitable only for takeaway and delivery. There is a problem with the parking as it is very difficult to find a parking. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful . The service is good also .

Helvacı Ali Dubai —Good Turkish sweet shop in Jumeirah.The semolina sweet and ice-cream in three different Flavours classic, chocolate and pistachio is too good.The variety of Turkish coffee is also great here.

An overhyped place for Helva due to Instagram adverts. Visited the place and tried thier signature helva.Its fairly high priced for this semolina dessert. 25 for a smalledt cup you could ever imagine and 45 for a medium cup. No large size available.Tried the medium cup with pistachio which is at room temperature as per their service standards and the original which is served hot.Taste was decent.

Oh halva yeah halva Turkish Semolina Halva with ice cream..They day I went that had three choicesOriginal / Chocolate and pistachio I tried all three and it was great and amazing one another.Price was soo good and cost me AED25 for a small cup with all three taste filled and which made me full with that already and my friend took a original halva and it was AED19.Turkish tea is free and served as ur request small area to be seated and enjoy ur halva though it was a well organized compact shop and well maintained cleanliness. Some other Turkish products also available on the shop to take away. Must try taste in Dubai. Paid Parking is available around the shop area and as whole area is full with shops u can enjoy even u walk few meters.

Type: Turkish Halva shopPricing: HighAtmosphere: RelaxedLocation: EasyHygiene: Very goodFood Quality - OkayService: Very GoodOverall: Good, decent.Sells Turkish Halva made with Semolina using century old recipe and served hot with elastic vanilla ice cream to balance the hot taste. It is sold in 3 variants - Pistachio, Chocolate and Classic. I ordered all 3 and liked the taste of Classic.

The staff service is bad. He looks at you from behind the glass and does not care to take the order from the customer. He must appreciate that the customer needs help, such as the handicapped, the elderly, or the injured and cannot enter the store.

This is very popular desert shop in Turkey. I ordered the classic one. Portion is big and tasty.Medium size :30 dirhem (in my opinion it’s too expensive for helva ) Also they added tahin and nust on it and charged 4 dirhem.

Review №18

Sweet tooth alert!Pay attention. The new kid on the block is just great.This is a very small place for legendary halwa.They have only 3 types, classic, chocolate and pistachio. All good but pistachio is out of this world. They also have vanilla ice cream which balances the sweetness of halwa. And the ice cream itself is also awesome.The staff is polite and lovely, and on top of everything they also offer free Turkish coffee.Give it a try. You will not regret.

Nice and friendly staff and Tasty Helvasi.Prices are good. You also get a turkish coffee or turkish tea with your Helvasi.It is a small place with around 9 seats only, but people don’t spend much time there and seats getting free very fast.

Tried Helvaci Ali after having dinner in a nearby restaurant. It was an excellent choice for desert. The hot brown helva in the picture has vanilla ice cream beneath 😃, very yummy. The pistachio helva is not hot but has also ice cream beneath it. 👍🏻 liked both equally and would certainly go again.

It was a very different & tasty, if you looking for something different from usual sweet then worth visiting it once.Prices are high for the product.

Review №25

I have gone there a couple of times.Pros:- clean, delightful experience- fast service- Yummy helvasCons:- Parking can be a problem during rush hours- Over-priced ( Its alright for an occasional treat)(Just a suggestion: please bring down your prices for the small cup if youd like to cater to regular customers.)Overall, it is somewhere my husband and I would go every three months or so. Its like a treat or part of a cheat meal :)

Review №33

I just met this sweet beauty like maybe 2 weeks ago. The name is Semolina Helva (classic). And I have been coming back for 4 times now. I love that I don’t feel guilty whenever I am eating this Turkey’s sweet delight as it is made of turkish ice cream and specially cooked semolina. Helvaci Ali has been serving turkish specialty sweets since 1900. At first I did not expect much, but I can say it is a 9/10 (i will not make it perfect, I’ll leave the 1 for others to decide 😉).

Review №34

Taste is very nice, but for the price charged the portion is extremely small. 19 dhs for the small cup is too much as there is barely 1/4 scoop of ice cream and a tiny layer of Semolina.

If youre a fan of helva, this is a brilliant choice. Both options with and without ice cream. It might be a Turkish favorite but both Pakistani and Indian sweet lovers will enjoy this equally. We loved it. My favorite is the Pistachio helva
