- UAE’s largest Kakigori lands at Alba Restaurant, Dubai.
- Three delicious flavours made for serious summer indulgence.
- Priced at AED 90 for two or solo at AED 45.
- Light, fluffy, and totally made for the ‘gram.
Dubai, we need to talk about the weather. It’s rude. The kind of heat that has you questioning your life choices by 11 AM. But before you Google “how to move to Iceland,” meet the chillest dessert drop of the season—Alba Restaurant’s brand-new Kakigori, and not just any Kakigori… the largest one in the UAE. Yep, big ice energy.
This towering, snow-soft Japanese shaved ice wonder is basically the AC your soul’s been craving. Light, fluffy, and Instagram-approved, Alba’s Kakigori is a rare find in the region, reimagined into a showstopper that’s made to be devoured (or just stared at in awe).

Choose your summer escape:
- Tropical Breeze with mango and coconut cream (aka, beach holiday in a bowl),
- Matcha Garden with matcha, watermelon, and strawberry (earthy, juicy, green tea girl vibes),
- Or the ultra-indulgent Caramel Mist with creamy dulce de leche and a buttery crumble that feels like dessert and a hug had a baby.
Priced at AED 90 for the shareable version (perfect for 2-3 dessert lovers who know better than to fight over the last bite), or AED 45 if you’re not sharing, we respect that. Available daily at Alba Restaurant in the Dubai Opera District, during opening hours. Walk in, cool off, and let the shaved ice therapy begin.
A few spoonfuls in and suddenly, summer doesn’t feel so bad!
