Bigdash Ice Cream & Pastries

Let me warn you - this joint is always poppin!The folks who love bigdash, really LOVE bigdash. And I don't blame them. The menu is vast and has a little something for everyone. Whether you like baklava, cake, ice cream, knafeh (a MUST TRY) or are wanting a caffeine kick - bigdash has it all.The Knafeh, a string cheese based dessert, is wildly delicious and if you don't try it, you'll regret it!

Finally tried the viral "Dubai chocolate" strawberries at Big Dash Middle Eastern dessert cafe in Frisco, TX. One cup cost a whopping $16 (a bit crazy I know but I'm telling myself that it's a little better than NYC's $25 cup of the same thing). It's basically a cup of ripe strawberries covered in a milk chocolate sauce, pistachio sauce, crispy kataifi, and pistachio pieces. I really enjoyed this. The creamy sweetness of the chocolate paired well with the nutty pistachio paste and the juicy sweet strawberry. I also loved how the crispy toasted kataifi added a super fun textural crunch amidst the thicker, creamy/rich chocolate and pistachio sauces.Ultimately, I feel like the Dubai chocolate bar is better. I think the juicy and fruity flavor of the strawberry feels slightly out of place but it's still great. I would recommend if you have been wanting to try it for a while (like I have) but a cup of strawberries is not worth $16. It is a fun and unique experience for sure!

Love coming here after I'm in the area for dinner! They're open late and I haven't been disappointed by anything I've tried, from the uniquely known stretchy ice cream down to the baklava, and the Turkish coffee is as strong as I like it. None of the desserts are overwhelming sweet, they have a great balance in flavors, and also serve the viral Dubai chocolate. The space is super cute and clean the times I've been and the customer service has been excellent.

Visiting from California. Excited to find this place. I love kinafa. I purchased the red kinafa and pistachio squares. Nice staff. Quick service. Place was clean. Looked to be a place to sit and have dessert with friends. I took my order back to my hotel room. Wish this place was near my home I saw many other treats I wanted to try.

Unfortunately the desserts were not good, especially the kunefe had changed a lot.This is not real kunefe

Their new item was a hit in my mouth. It was so delicious, The Dubai chocolate with strawberries in a cup. The red Kinafa balanced with the Dubai chocolate. I thought the bar of Dubai chocolate was a bit expensive(8.99)for just 10 small pieces.

I think there are certain items here that are super good like their baklava! I tried the tres leches cake and pistachio cake and found that I personally don't like their cakes though due to their very dense and slightly drier texture. I would come back to try their ice cream and definitely to get more of their baklava!

We came by to grab the viral dubai chocolate ($7.99)! Luckily, there were lots of them. It was very good and crunchy. They also have a lot of other variety of baked goods that it was hard for us to choose.

***Dubai Chocolate***They have it!! The viral Dubai chocolate is here!!! And honestly of the different ones I've tried in the area this one totally satisfies your sweet tooth! They keep it refrigerated which keeps the bar crunchy!! I was hooked at first bite and sound!!Other than this viral craze- they have amazing Arabic Ice-Cream (rose flavor is my favorite) An amazing assortment of FRESH baklava, and my ultimate favorite dessert Red Kunafa!!! Warm, cheesy, crunchy, deliciousness!!! The Turkish coffee is great here as well! This cute place is fun for families, hangouts, or to go deserts! And service is absolutely phenomenal! If you're looking for something different that gives you options for dessert- definitely check this place out!!

I had always heard great things about this place and kept meaning to check it out. The plethora of positive and highly-rated Yelp and Google Reviews ultimately led us here and today was that day. Mom and I entered a beautiful, charming, delightfully adorned space with aesthetic design elements that harmonized well with the muted hues of the walls and the intricate detail of the mosaic tables. We were warmly greeted by Safa with a smile and she gave us a bit of background on the establishment. This is such a cute place; gave me vibes reminiscent of childhood and where I grew up. A taste of my former home.An enticing array of Middle Eastern Desserts (Baklava, Ice Cream, Kunefe, etc.) await you.Delicious and ideal portions at reasonable prices, and all made fresh and in-house daily. We tried the smallest size cup (4 oz) - Mom had the Pistachio and I opted for a scoop of each (Pistachio and Vanilla). We truly enjoyed the airy, velvety texture and subtly sweet taste. I would like to try the Mango and Banana Hazelnut on our next visit.Also purchased baklava to take home and enjoy (Cookie Butter Rolls, Classic Pistachio, Namora, and Turkish Baklava Fingers). Five star visit. Stellar customer service provided by Safa - who answered any and all questions we had regarding their products and services. This place is perfect to beat the heat for those hot Texas summer days when you just want to relax, unwind and indulge. There is a warm and welcoming vibe here and we will definitely be back!
