Kunafa Chocolate Bar in Mumbai

The filled pistachio-and-kataifi chocolate bar that came out of Dubai is now one of the most searched desserts in India. Most versions sold here import the crisp filling or skip it altogether. We make ours in Mumbai using kataifi dough we manufacture ourselves – which is the part that actually decides whether the bar crunches or not.

What people mean by “Dubai chocolate”

It is a thick moulded chocolate bar with a filling of pistachio cream and toasted kataifi strands. Break it and the inside should be visibly stringy and audibly crisp. The style spread from Dubai and is now made everywhere, with wildly varying quality – because the hard part is not the chocolate, it is the kataifi.

Kataifi is shredded phyllo dough. If you have never worked with it, we have written a full explainer on what kataifi dough is.

Our kanafeh chocolate range

Kanafeh Chocolate Bar – the full-size filled bar, pistachio and toasted kataifi through the centre.
Kanafeh Chocolate Bites – the same filling in single-bite pieces. The easier format for gifting boxes and for sharing.
Kanafeh Chocolate – our chocolate-and-kanafeh assortment.
Pistachio Chocolate Kanafeh – the served-warm kanafeh version rather than a bar, for people who want the dessert rather than the confectionery.
Double Chocolate Kanafeh – heavier on chocolate, lighter on pistachio.

Why making our own kataifi matters here

Almost everything about this bar depends on the strands inside it. They have to be shredded thin, toasted to the right colour, and dried to the right moisture before they meet the pistachio cream. Too wet and the bar is soft by the next morning. Too dry and it tastes like sawdust.

We manufacture kataifi dough in Mumbai as our main business – we supply it to restaurants, bakeries and hotels across the city. That means the filling in our bars is made from dough produced days earlier in our own kitchen, not from imported strands that have been sitting in a warehouse.

Storing it so it stays crisp

Keep it cool and dry. Room temperature in a sealed box is ideal.
Avoid the fridge. Condensation softens the kataifi and dulls the chocolate’s surface.
Keep it out of direct sun. Chocolate this thick shows heat damage quickly.

Bulk orders, gifting and resale

These bars work well as corporate gifts and festival hampers, and cafes buy them to resell over the counter. We supply in bulk with your quantity and date agreed in advance. If you would rather make your own filled bars, we also sell the wholesale kataifi dough to do it with.

Delivery across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai

We deliver across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai. Call with your area and quantity and we will confirm the earliest slot – production is in batches, so timing depends on the day’s run.

Frequently asked questions

What is Dubai chocolate?

It is a thick filled chocolate bar containing pistachio cream and crisp kataifi strands. The style went viral out of Dubai and is now made by dessert kitchens worldwide. The crunch inside comes from kataifi – the same shredded dough used for kunafa.

Do you make Dubai chocolate in Mumbai?

Yes. We make kanafeh-filled chocolate bars and bites in our own Mumbai kitchen, using kataifi dough we manufacture ourselves rather than imported dry strands.

Why does the crunch disappear in some kunafa chocolate bars?

Because the kataifi was not toasted properly or the filling was too wet. Kataifi has to be roasted to the right colour and moisture before it goes into the chocolate, or it softens within a day.

Can I order kanafeh chocolate bars in bulk for gifting?

Yes. We supply bars and bites in bulk for corporate gifting, Eid and Diwali hampers, and for cafes reselling them. Email Sales@sufyskanafehpoint.in with your quantity and date.

How should I store a kanafeh chocolate bar?

Keep it cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Avoid the fridge if you can – condensation is what makes the kataifi inside go soft and the chocolate bloom.
