I recently visited Big Dash and I'm still thinking about the desserts! The hazelnut baklava tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher -- rich, nutty, chocolatey, and perfectly sweet. Absolutely delicious. The butter cookie roll was soft, buttery, and indulgent without being overwhelming. But the real star was the kinafa. The cheese pull was INSANE , perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Easily the best thing I tried. Don't walk, run to try their desserts. You won't regret it! read more

While I was visiting my friend in Dallas, she mentioned this place, so we decided to check it out. It's a nice a spacious cafe but it was busy. Luckily we managed to find parking and seating inside so we decided to get the kunefe to share because it looked so good. You can watch them make it fresh, and the smell was so buttery and delicious that we had to get it. We decided to get the classic one but there are plenty of other Kunefe options available to get. It was perfection. I liked that they have the extra pistachios and sugar syrup on the side because we had control over how sweet we wanted it to be. My mouth is watering just thinking of eating this again! I'll definitely be coming back for the Kunefe! read more

Came in on a Saturday night a little bit after dark and within 5 minutes of entering we had our desserts! You get to select entire cakes or individual pieces of dessert. Some are ready to go and others you have to wait for (like the crepes). The ice cream is so yummy and stretchy and the cake slices we had were not very sweet. They also have hot drinks and sodas and some prepackaged goodies ready for sale. Plenty of seating options indoor and outdoor, the inside was pristine (did not sit outside). It was cool to see lots of people from all walks of life here from employees to patrons alike! read more

Really loved the environment and the atmosphere, even at 11am the place was full with people and noise. They offer a diverse selection of dessert, that we lost count. The best halal dessert place till now I've seen in USA. Tried their viral teddy chocolate, but it was hard without any hot chocolate syrup. Will try their kinafa next time read more

I recently visited on a trip to Dallas and was introduced to this place by a friend. There's a great variety of desserts, though most are pistachio flavored, and ice cream. It's great for a post-dinner dessert. Guilty pleasure galore. This is a place one goes to solely for the food. Not for customer service, mood, or anything else. It can get extremely busy and the restrooms are not attended to when there's a curved line to the entry/exit doors. read more

Went after dinner at Yemeni restaurant few doors away. It was a crowded weekend. Nice selection..a little too dark for my liking. I feel like the dessert a little bit to sweet for me. But to each their own. I went to the one in firewheel before this one. While firewheel location is smaller, I prefer the ambiance there. read more

We came here after dinner. Their menu is so big. The menu is wide and expensive. There are a lot of seating areas, and the music is good. They were busy, so service may take a minute. Their ice cream is so good. We got some weird flavors. Banana hazelnut, traditional Arabic ice cream, almond brittle, and s'mores. It was so good. read more

It was around midnight, and the line was very long and there were no seats available to sit inside. However the pastries were very good. We got a lot of stuff, but the staff was very patient with us. The hard shell chocolate from the mushroom was very satisfying. Will definitely come back! read more

I came here 2x while I was in Dallas! This location is BUSY on the weekend, so expect to be circling the parking lot for a while to find a spot. I tried the Knafeh and Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup. Both tasted great! The Knafeh took a while to come out, but that's because they make it fresh. Ambience is really nice, as well. Definitely a staple if you're in the Dallas area! read more

One of our favorite dessert spots in the Dallas area! Our favorite items here are the baklava and pistachio desserts - they have a really good pistachio cake (probably my favorite) and cheesecake. They also have Dubai chocolate! For when we are dining in, we will usually get a latte or cappuccino as well. If you come with friends and want to hang out for a bit, there is a patio outside to sit and eat at. Another tip, they also sell boxes of their desserts which make great gifts! read more

After an all you can eat seafood boil, this was the only way to end the night! Quick friendly service! It was packed when we walked in and finding a table can be hard, so come with a friend and have them grab a table that's open! These desserts remind me of great time in the kitchen with my mom and growing up making these desserts with her! It's always buzzing with friendly faces, both guests and staff, and a great energy from everyone! It's very much a community gathering and a great one! read more

A friend recommended this place to us many different pastries, and food items from at least and I wanted to try some of the KanafaFah when you enter, you find very different variety of ice cream flour that you don't find in the usual ice cream shops and you'll find plenty of desserts in Phil wraps. This is an authentic Middle Eastern Cafe. I recommend everyone to visit this place. Their service is outstanding once you pay the bill you get the food within 5 to 10 minutes and the ambience is just very chill. We ordered a bunch of stuff. Everything tasted amazing. read more

Bigdash - A Dallas Favorite I'll Truly Miss! Bigdash has been one of my absolute favorite spots during my time in Dallas. I've visited their Richardson location many times, and every single time I try something new, I walk away impressed and satisfied. From their variety of ice creams to the different types of cakes and traditional Arabic desserts, everything I've tried has been consistently delicious. The quality, flavor, and attention to detail in their desserts really stand out, it's clear they put a lot of care into what they serve. One of the highlights of my experience has also been the amazing service. There's a young woman who works there, originally from Morocco, and although I don't know her name, I want to give her a special shoutout--she's always friendly, helpful, and makes every visit even better! Sadly, I'v moved to Kansas now, and one of my biggest wishes is for Bigdash to open a location in KC. I know I'm really going to miss everything I've enjoyed here. I didn't take pictures of everything I've tried (I was too busy enjoying it ), but I'll leave a few photos below of some of the desserts I did manage to capture. If you haven't tried Bigdash yet, especially the Richardson branch, I highly recommend it. Truly one of the dessert gems in Dallas! read more

The desserts here are to die for. And I'm pretty bummed it took me so long to finally try this place. The interior is pretty big with lots of tables and there is a large selection of different items: baklavas, pastries, knafeh, ice creams, and more. Service is also friendly and quick! My favorites here are the dubai chocolate, red knafeh, and the cookie butter roll. The dubai chocolate bar is soo milky and decadent and has a perfect crunch from the pistachio cream kataifi. The red knafeh is perfect for cheese lovers since it comes with a layer of sweet cheese under the toasted kataifi, and is made fresh to order. The cookie butter roll is my favorite one of the rolls I've tried but all the other rolls are awesome as well, with a crispy exterior and creamy interior. The desserts here are all super tasty and the workers are all very nice and helpful. I love this place and would definitely recommend trying their desserts out!! read more

I found this gem on an Instagram reel that an influencer posted. I was definitely influenced because the desserts looked so yummy! I went in on a week day and it wasn't super crowded which was perfect . I was greeted promptly as I walked in. It's a cute casual type of vibe and very clean. I knew I wanted the knafeh. I ordered a red knafeh with ice cream. The whole presentation of how this dessert is made is so regal. I've never tasted anything like this . With that being said, even as a person who likes sweets , this is very rich and I could only eat a few bites. They had many flavors of ice cream ,however I wanted to try their house ice cream which was so good! The texture is a bit different from other ice creams I've personally had . It's very creamy . All of it was delish ! They also have so many other pastries as well. I tried a few but you must have Mamoul if you have nothing else. So amazing ' Go have a blast there ! read more

I had such a great experience at Big Dash. The staff helped me make a cake for my parents and were incredibly kind and helpful the whole time.

Although I really enjoyed the strawberries, for $16 I think it's hard to justify getting it more than once. There's plenty of seating inside and little to no wait. I appreciated the quick service, however there was some confusion regarding availability of this product. Originally, I was informed it was not available due to a lack of strawberries on hand. After an hour, I saw other customers with this so I got back in line and reordered even after being told by another worker that there wouldn't be enough left for me (only 3 cups worth). There was more than enough left though because I saw many customers after me getting the same item. Super confused why this happened! read more

Bigdash Ice Cream & Pastries - Dubai chocolate strawberry cup - Desserts Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I got the famous dubai chocolate strawberry cup ($15.99). It's a cup filled with milk chocolate, lots of strawberries, roasted kinafa, turkish pistachios, pistachio filling, and pistachio sauce. Honestly, I can understand the hype! I expected it to be really sweet, but it was actually the perfect amount (I'm not an extremely sweet person). The kinafa didn't really have a taste, but it was extremely crunchy and almost sand-like. The pistachios added a nutty, peanut butter taste. The strawberries helped balance all the chocolate and pistachio flavors. I waited 20 minutes for this, and I don't think i would again. It's definitely good and something I would eat if I was nearby! However, I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. On the other hand, there were a lot of other dessert and drink options with a nice cafe interior that could help pass time! Their other desserts are very sweet. read more

The food here is incredible- the mango ice cream tastes so fresh and bright, the brown kinafa is our favorite special treat, perfect to share. We also got several cakes, cookies and sweets to go, all delicious. The service was friendly, helpful and patient while we decided what to order! They offered a sample of coconut cookies which were delightful! 10/10 always a win. read more

I placed an order online for 2 large mammal cans and 1 large assorted sweets. I was planning on taking them as gifts to my family out of state. I drove 40 minutes to the Richardson location only to be told that none of the items I ordered were available. Why would you let me place an order online and charge my credit card if you know that the items are not available? That is very BAD service. I won't be visiting Big Dash again.

It's always a pleasure stopping by this place. This is their new location, at least to me, as I used to frequent them when they were in the other Richardson location. This location is much more spacious than the one before, and they have more seatings. You still order at the counter, and they'll give a number to take to the table (you pick your own table). Red kinafa and ice cream are my go to here. Their ice cream is very unique for their gooey consistency. Paired it with a kinafa for maximum goodness. They also sell pastries and other desserts like eclair and baklava, so you'll have plenty of sweet options. read more

Love going here, but one particular time I went... felt off, I got some walnuts and pistachio squares. Wanted to get something Dubai chocolate. I asked the lady working there for a specific piece (she said she was new which is OK! But she seemed annoyed), but I guess I didn't ask correctly. I was met with sighs and scoffs. It felt really rude. I was being as polite as I could, but the service wasn't nice. I'll try another location if I decide to go back. read more

I was introduced to this place when a few friends and I came to sample/share some of their desserts, and I enjoyed it enough to come back on my own. They have a sweet discount on knafeh on Mondays, though I learned later that the dessert itself doesn't keep the best/is not the same if you don't eat it immediately. Still good though. I absolutely loved the kullaj that I tried and would go back just for that. It's located in a plaza with many other Middle Eastern food spots and has a pretty open dining space - a bit empty during the middle of the afternoon but considerably more full in the evenings. Highly recommend their desserts overall. read more

I got the strawberry cup and the pistachio baklava. The pistachio baklava was a little dry and was falling apart. However, the strawberry cup was a 10/10. Good place to go on a date/with friends. Tables were clean. Next time, I plan to try their karak tea. read more

Monday is the day to some here - $3 off a made to order Kunefe. I will be back for that. Instead we opted for the pistachio baklava with pistachio ice cream. In the photos is looks like it is stuffed inside the baklava, but the ice cream was just on the side. It was pretty tasty and obviously fresh. The ice cream was almost chewy, which was interesting. I will take friends from out of town here to try it if they seem interested! read more

We've been coming here for several years now when we visit Dallas. The food is great, service is quick, and the 'new' location on Greenville is large and clean. We often have the ice cream, which contains mastic that makes it 'stretchy'. Our favorite flavors are pistachio and mint. Crepes (big enough to share) and cake slices also are yummy. Before we leave town, we always get some pastries to eat as we travel. Some favorites are pistachio baklava, crown baklava, and warbat. We really have enjoyed everything we've tried! read more
