Stopped by Bigdash and tried their Kunafa made fresh on the rolling stove, and it was absolutely incredible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Watching it being prepared right in front of you makes the experience even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The kunafa was perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with warm, stretchy cheese inside--pure cheesy heaven. The sweetness was balanced just right with the syrup, and the flavor was rich without being overwhelming. If you're a fan of Middle Eastern desserts, this is a must-try. Fresh, hot, and made right in front of you--definitely one of the best kunafa desserts I've had. I'll definitely be coming back for more. read more

Honestly everything I tried was amazing! Stopped by here after work to pick up some sweet treats. The service was fast and they offered me their recommendation of what to try. She recommended the strawberry cake and I'm glad she did. I LOVED the strawberry cake. It was so light and delicious. The pistachio cake was really good too! Just very decadent as the shell is a layer of chocolate. I will definitely return to try some more sweets. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is clean and organized well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Dubai Chocolate was really good, flavorable and crunchy. read more

Red Kinafa was really good - they said they recently changed the color but basically the "red" is coarser filo dough strips whereas the brown is finer. They give you extra pistachios and syrup on the side to customize to your taste! The amount of sweets to choose from is overwhelming! read more

I visited this location on July 29th at approximately 12:50 p.m. because I wanted to order a Mango Kunafa Cream Cup, which I have ordered through DoorDash before. When I asked if one could be made fresh, the employee explained that they don't always make them because the cream has a short shelf life. I completely understood that explanation. My issue was never that the dessert wasn't available. What upset me was the way I was treated afterward. The employee became rude and insisted that I was wrong about having ordered the dessert before. I simply explained that I've ordered it in the past and that, from my experience, it's sometimes prepared fresh in the back when it isn't already in the display case. I left the store because I didn't appreciate how I was being spoken to, but I came back in a few moments later to calmly explain that I wasn't trying to argue I was only sharing my previous experience ordering the dessert. Instead of speaking with me directly, the employee went to the back and brought another employee out to explain everything to me in Spanish. I had been speaking clear English the entire time. I never asked for someone to translate, and there was no communication barrier. Being approached in Spanish after I returned made me feel like assumptions were being made about me because of my appearance or ethnicity rather than listening to what I was actually saying. I found that disrespectful and humiliating. I also asked the employee for his name, and he refused to provide it. I understand that not every item is available all day, and I respected that explanation from the beginning. What I cannot accept is feeling like I was treated differently because of assumptions about my background. No customer should leave a business feeling unheard or singled out in that way. I hope management reviews this interaction with the male employee working the front counter around 12:50-1:00 p.m. on July 29th. This business didn't lose me because they couldn't make a dessert they lost me because of the way I was treated. read more

The employees are kind The desserts are pretty great [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very pretty and authentic-feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend a visit if you're in the area. The Mhalabia pudding and pistachio tiramisu are a must by the way. EDIT (initial review was made about 10 mins after ordering): Sorry, had to bring the rating down. Service is super slow.. like 35+ mins for 2 Dubai strawberry cups and a coffee. We received a few items in our order immediately but had to wait almost 40 mins for our other items because orders weren't being processed in the time they were made, and instead with what was quicker to get done. A few customers left unhappy for the same reason. Either way, not a terrible experience, and possibly due to an understaffing issue, so I'd still recommend a visit if in the area. read more

Delightful and unique sweet treats, but disorganized! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance & Service: Plenty of seating, but confusing lines--waited in the wrong one for ice cream despite it being labeled for ice cream.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Long evening wait times (1 hour), though midafternoon was only 15 minutes. Food: - Ice Cream: Sticky, doughy texture--not for me. - Dubai Chocolate Strawberries: Delicious! Sweet strawberries, smooth chocolate, pistachio cream, and wonderful crunch from the knafeh phyllo pastry. - Dubai Chocolate Bar: Great treat, but I preferred the strawberries. Still worth a try! TL;DR: Amazing desserts, but expect confusion and long waits. read more

I was a little disappointed in Bigdash and felt like it was an Instagram trap but feel like it has potential so I give it 4 stars until I can try more food items. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was cute, new, and had plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, there was one person serving two separate serving lines so people kind of kept cutting in front of me since I was in the ice cream line. I think this place is more of a viral Instagram trap since the ice cream didn't live up to expectations. It was indeed stretchy but I was expecting a very rich and creamy dessert but it was icy (I had the Arabic flavor) and it tasted more soapy even though I typically love floral flavors. Maybe this style of ice cream just isn't for me but all my family members agreed with me. read more

Was excited to try this place after eating lunch down the road. Unfortunately, the poor customer service led me to leave prematurely without being able to try what looked like delicious treats. To provide more detail, I waited patiently for 10 minutes, near the sign that stated "line starts here" while the attendant packaged the selections of the group (who were together) ahead of me. She then checked them out. Afterwards, she appeared as though she wanted to serve a couple who cut in front of me but seemed to reluctantly ask me what id like. I ordered one item that would need to be prepared and two that she could package directly. She did not go and ring up the item that needed to be prepared and instead began to service the couple. They spent five minutes selecting items while I again had to wait by the register so that she could finally ring up my order. After minute 5 I left. I do hope I will be able to try similar goods at another location that will have better customer service. read more

I visited the Richardson location a few times so was excited to hear that there's a location in Irving. Visited around 10pm on a Thursday night and there were a few groups inside. Here's what we ordered: Small Ice Cup with Lemon Mint and Oreo. The Lemon mint wasn't as smooth as I remember at the Richardson location. It was still refreshing but it was dense. Oreo ice cream was stretchy, but not as stretchy as I remembered. A bit disappointing Triangle Baklava: overall, pretty decent. Wish we could've added honey to it. But would I get this again? Probably not Red Kinafa: toooooo sweet. Didn't even add a lot of the sugary syrup. It was crunchy and the cheese was great. Just felt like the sweetness was too much and overpowering. Like you need a drink to down it sweet. Not sure I would visit this location again as it was lacking compared to Richardson location. read more

This was my first time having this sticky ice cream and though I was not a fan of the texture, that is a personal opinion and does not color my rating of this place. I assume it is done well and with authenticity but cannot speak to that as I have never had it anywhere else. Flavors were good but I could not get past the chewiness of it all. But!!! The baklava was amazeballs!!! So was just about every other pastry I had, though I got so many I can't remember what all I got. But yes, get every version of baklava because they were all delicious! Oh, and you really can't top the service here. Talked me through it all and never rushed me. read more

My first time trying Middle Eastern desserts ever! My boyfriend and two of his close friends frequent this place for dessert. We got the Brown Kinafa, three scoops of ice cream (lemon mint, Arabic, and tiramisu), and white chocolate bar. I liked the Brown Kinafa without the sugary syrup it came with. The syrup is a bit too sweet to my preference. The lemon mint scoop of ice cream was surprisingly good. It is a refreshing taste. I don't think it goes well with the other two flavors we had, but we didn't mind that. We were bummed they didn't have the Dubai pistachio chocolate bar, but we got this white chocolate bar instead. There are lots of desserts at Bigdash. I am interested in coming back to try other items! read more

My friend and I got two Kanafas. One crunchy and one soft. Def prefer the crunchy one. It was interesting. I wish we could have eaten it there but we had to take it home. So after 30 mins we were able to try it. I'll have to try it again but dining in. I got a couple of baklava to go. Loved the choco hazelnut. Their pistachio baklava maybe had a hint of lavender. I'm not sure but I enjoyed it. Our girl server was so sweet and helpful. She told me her name but I forgot it by now. But she's in the pic making our kanafa read more

I specifically stopped in to get the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup, which I believe is a limited time item. The line was long but they were pretty organized about it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been to the Frisco location before & this one had more seating, including a nice outdoor area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of parking. The strawberry cup was pricy ($17 with tax) but unfortunately delicious. I watched them meticulously put it together & I kind of get why it's so expensive. It seemed pretty elaborate for such a simple dish. read more

Definitely want to come back here on a Monday when the Knufe is $3 off. Also made to order. We just got a baklava and some pistachio ice cream. I thought it was going to be "stuffed" with the ice cream as I saw it in other photos, but it was on the side. The ice cream was good, and it must be made some special way because it was chewy, if that makes sense. I have never seen an "Indian dessert store" that had more than ice cream, this will be a fun outing for friends in from out of town. read more

Bigdash will always, always, ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. I mean, how can you not like them?! A restaurant that has it's roots in a wife baking desserts for her husband, to the husband supporting her to sell her desserts, to them opening a small shop in Richardson, which ultimately led to profound success that granted them the opportunity to open a number of locations across the DFW area. So, of course you're going to want to support them. I visited the Irving location for the first time, recently, but have been a frequent patron of the Richardson and Frisco locations for years. I even hired the team to cater one of my wedding events to serve Kinafa and ice cream - they did not disappoint. We got the lotus crepe(again) and it was utterly delicious as always. The ice cream is stretchy, which I personally love, but not quite my wife's cup of tea. They serve enough ice cream with the crepe, but since I love the flavor and texture, I usually order double ice cream. I wish the team nothing but the best and hope their business continues to flourish. read more

Unfortunately I threw the receipt away when I ordered one last week with extra pistachio filling. They only chraged me $1.

We went to Bigdash with a group after lunch at someone's house. The location is pretty nice with decent parking and space inside. We got a piece of warbat and a piece of coconut hareesa. I like that they take out the dessert and serve it right away, unlike some coffee shops where I have to wait 10-15 minutes because they insist on serving the dessert only once the drinks are ready. Anyway, the warbat was amazing. The philo dough was crispy and the cream filling was nice. The hareesa didn't have coconut flavor and had a bit too much rose water. Someone also gave us a couple bites of Dubai chocolate, which was really tasty thanks to the high quality chocolate. Good selection and pretty good desserts. read more

It's all so good! read more

This place is such a great find, especially when you have a sweet tooth. BigDash specializes in Middle Eastern desserts & pastries, so there's always something different to try!

I also appreciate that staff are always friendly & professional and that the place is clean. Will always come back for more! read more

We also ordered a couple of Turkish coffees and the amazing Kinafa cheesecake. AFTER ordering, however, we spied a tray of chocolate bars. YES, Bigdash makes those viral Kinafa Pistachip chocolate bars. They are pricey ($8.99) but omg are they worth it!!! This is the first time we've seen these here so recommend you call ahead if you want one of these next level chocolate bars. Highly recommend! read more

Yesterday I bought two 12" trays from Big Dash Frisco, to take as Diwali gifts for friends(worth approximately $75). I also bought a triangular Turkish delight and Warbat (to go) for personal consumption(worth $8). When I got home and had the pistachio filled Turkish Delight, it turned out to be bitter. The pistachios used were way past their shelf life and had turned rancid. I immediately called up Big Dash Frisco to give them feedback about their stale and inedible item. Firstly I had to go through three people(kept on hold each time a new person was brought on to the call) and had to keep repeating the issue to each person. One of the staff members even told me that "a special kind of pistachio" was used in that pastry, trying to tell me that I didn't know the difference between fresh and rancid pistachio. Finally when the manager Bilal came online, he heard me and said that he will check ( not right away while I was on call but later, as they were busy). There was no offer of a remedy or resolution. When I asked him how he could undo the damage, all he said was "whenever you come next, ask for me (Bilal) and I will take care of you". This is the worst remedial statement when what was expected was an immediate check of that item , and reversal of charge for selling an item that had gone bad. This casual and dismissive approach to a serious food and health violation was not only indicative of the poor quality checks on this place but also showed the discriminative attitude towards an Indian customer. I wonder if this manager's approach would have been the same had it been a complaint from a different section of the customer base. This place was among my favorite dessert places when I first found it. This is,however, the second incident of poor quality and even poorer customer service! Certainly not going back and not recommending it to anyone. read more
