The UAE isn’t just feeding you—it’s feeding your camera roll. Every month, there’s a new oversized, over-the-top, or just plain outrageous food or drink making the rounds on Instagram and TikTok. From mega-sized matcha to desserts that double as mini theatre shows, here are the 2025 stars of your FYP.
Matcha in a Glass Purse – Abduls
Why settle for a regular cup when you can have matcha in a literal glass handbag at Abduls? Equal parts drink and fashion accessory, it’s made to be carried, posed with, and finally sipped—after you’ve taken about 47 pictures, of course.
Tiramisu Latte – Shaghf
This isn’t your average coffee. Creamy, espresso-rich, and layered with tiramisu goodness, it’s basically dessert disguised as your morning caffeine fix. One sip from Shaghf’s tiramisu latte, and you’ll feel like you’re cheating on your regular latte.
Matcha Karak – Klay by Karak House
Your two comfort drinks—earthy matcha and spiced karak—finally tied the knot at Klay. The result is a warm, green hug in a cup with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. It’s tradition meets trend, and it works.
Bear Ice Smash – Magadan Dubai
Magadan Dubai brings you a chocolate-coated, bear-shaped ice cream sitting on a block of ice you literally have to smash open before eating. The crunch of the ice, the reveal of the dessert—it’s food with built-in suspense, and yes, it’s ridiculously fun to film.
2.5-Litre Matcha – BohoX Café
This is not a typo. BohoX serves a 2.5-litre matcha that could double as a workout if you carry it around. Pair it with their humongous croissant, and consider it a meal… or two.
Choco Burger – B.Laban
Imagine this: soft English cake “buns,” Belgian chocolate brownies as the “patty,” pistachio mousse and crunchy kunafa as the “toppings,” all drenched in silky chocolate sauce. It’s dessert dressed up like a burger, and it’s every bit as extra as B.Laban always is.
5-Litre Bubble Tea – YiFang Taiwan Fruit Tea
Bubble tea lovers, here’s your Everest: five whole litres of chewy, sweet milk tea with boba pearls for days. YiFang Taiwan Fruit Tea brought to life a challenge drink, a party starter, and a guaranteed conversation piece in one massive cup.
Paratha Smash Burger – Klay by Karak House
Forget buns. This juicy burger from Klay is hugged by a crispy, flaky paratha that’s buttery, crunchy, and messy in the best way possible. It’s the kind of thing you eat with both hands while trying (and failing) not to drip sauce everywhere.
Conclusion
2025 in the UAE is all about big flavors, bigger servings, and food that comes with a side of performance. Whether you’re smashing an ice bear, drinking matcha out of a purse, or tackling a burger in a paratha, the trend is clear—here, eating is an event, and you’re part of the show.
