Where can you get the best cheesecake in Dubai?
nora
I've tried many and have yet to find one that comes even close to taste and texture of my homemade. Sorry, so far I have only found very cheap immitations from the restaurants here.
KeithL
DONT have the cheesecake from Spinneys.... its terrible
BabyDoll
Sweets here are terrible. Safe bet will be Sara Lee's !!
Alternatively Al Qasr's dessert is ok too.

Is that an invitation or are you starting a new business? :D
gezza
wow...
riveting subject!!!
nora
Nope, not starting a business. You asked, and I simply answered. If the Cheesecake Factory could not make it in Dubai, it would be silly of me to even try (even though their location stunk!).
Next time I make cheesecake, I'll post and, if you're nice, I may even courier a piece to you. Currently, I'm out of the country, but should return to DXB within a couple of weeks. Now you've got me hungary for cheesecake.

Oh man...the cheesecake factory!
I used to love that place but yes, strangely enough it never did catch on...people just seemed to go to Cocos instead...
burton
Talking on the (riveting) subject of restaurants/places that never quite 'caught on', does anybody remember that family restaurant joint which was located in one of the malls on Jumeirah Beach Rd - the one with cafe ceramique??
I think it was called Bennigans or something...wasn't it supposed to be an Irish American TGI Fridays?? Lol...
I never ate there, and I always meant to.

Man, I love Benigans. There was one in Dubai?

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf have an average cheesecake. Nothing like the real New York Baked variety or the Grodzinsky's light and fluffy available in North West London...but edible.

Shame to say, Coffee Bean's cheesecakes are much better in Asia. Everything is way friggin sweet here.

I'll be happy to share my favorite recipe when I get back to Dubai. If your seriously interested in making one, start saving your money as it takes a minimum of 40 oz. of cream cheese. If you want the best, only use Philadelphia cream cheese. Unfortunately, you need to use the original wrapped brick-type which can only be found now at Safestway for about 18 Dhs. per box. (Sorry, the soft tub type doesn't work.) If anyone knows where I can find cheaper, I'd love to know. If I remember right, you'll need 5 boxes. Also, start looking around for a box of Keebler grahm crackers. They have been out of stock for a number of weeks, and Im hopeful they're back by the time I return.
Exact measurements are important, so I'll post recipe when I get back. Regarding Coffee Bean and Tea's cheesecake - sorry, don't agree. I try them from time to time hoping they will taste as good as they look, but dissappointed every time.

Nooo. When they first started it was good. Not sure where went wrong after that. But the ones in Dubai are never good to begin with.

Cheesecake! Yum! Am hungry now :cry:

Will wait for your reviews. After all there are very few more important things in life than good cheesecake :D
nora
Ok Dubaidude - you are the one who started this thread. Now you're questioning the importance of cheesecake in the scheme of things - a good cheesecake is right at the top! Just kidding. Anxiously awaiting reviews as well.
Cheers
Dubai Knight
OK, I can officially confirm that the cheesecake available at Raffles Hotel is just fantastic! Mind you, its only available as a whole cake and is 150Dhs...but its worth it!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

nora
Great news. Now, how big's the cake and how many slices?
Dubai Knight
Its big enough! Not very thick but about 30cm x 30cm and just yummy!

She was but no worries we got the anorexia going. :)

30 cm is pretty good size but it should be thick - so a sliver size makes a good portion because of its richness. However, on a pms week - i'd polish the whole darn thing myself - may take awhile, but I could do it. Price for that size is ok - I'll have to try for myself. (No, Im not a big girl.)

Its very, very rich. If you are not a big girl now, you would be after eating one of these!

I can officially say that the best cheesecake available in Dubai is from your humble KFC. The vanilla cheesecake comes in individual slices and everytime we go we order 6 each time and they don't last the night!!

True Dat. I've found that the Cheesecake available at KFC and PizzaHut ( both are same and are actually supplied by Baskin Robbins ) are the best cheese cake in town and for 7 bucks a bob are worth everyfils.

KFC Vanilla Cheesecake is the best without a doubt.

Had the KFC/Pizza hut cheese cake again yesterday. Still the best, hands down.
Unless uprising wants to send a free sample for comparision. Although the KFC cheesecake is a tough contender to beat ?

I can provide a sample. Give me time.
I'm fully booked currently!
That requires baking an entire cake.
Why not just purchase one and share it
with your friends?
KFC might be a tough contender but
not in my books.
I'm from Ny. Cheesecake is in my blood.
Can't beat me baby. Just can't.

Bold words......waiting
I'm not spending any money on any other cheesecake as I've found my ultimate cake, unless proven otherwise

Hi All Cheese Cake Lovers,
Happen to come across this thread few days ago and glad to know so many cheese lovers here.
I am making some cakes for my colleagues for Ramadan and plan to make some spare ones for cheese cake lover in this forum to try and comment on it.
I used to supply cheese cake to cafe in my country and is planning to start the business in Dubai soon for cheese cake lovers once i have settled down. Have been in talks with some cafe owners here, once everything is in place; baking will kick off.
If you are keen to have a slice and try it please email me by 11pm tonight, collection place will be tomorrow (Thursday) 430pm at Dubai Mall.
