Cheapest Dubai Chocolate in Dubai Mall 2026

a mall filled with lots of people and escalators

Quick answer

The cheapest Dubai chocolate in Dubai Mall is sold at the Level 1 branch of Chocomelt (near Dubai Metro exit) for AED 24 per 100 g bar. Most other kiosks and premium stores charge AED 35–55 for the same 100 g size. Always check the price tag before buying—some shops swap prices for tourists.

Where to find Dubai chocolate in Dubai Mall

Dubai Mall is home to more than 20 chocolate outlets on three floors. The popular pistachio-knafeh filled “Dubai chocolate” bars are stocked at Chocomelt, Patchi, Godiva, Lindt, and smaller kiosks near the Dubai Fountain. Most kiosks close at 11 pm, while Patchi and Godiva stay open until midnight on weekends.

Step-by-step: how to buy the cheapest bar

Enter Dubai Mall via the Metro link on the lower ground floor.
Take the escalator to Level 1 and turn left past the Apple store.
Walk 40 metres to the Chocomelt kiosk opposite H&M.
Ask for the “pistachio knafeh 100 g bar” and confirm the price on the shelf.
Pay by cash or card; no extra service fee applies.

Common mistakes tourists make

Many visitors pay double because they buy from the first kiosk they see near the fountain or from hotel gift shops. Another mistake is grabbing the 200 g bar without noticing it costs almost three times more per gram. Always divide the price by weight to compare.

Tips to save even more

Visit between 2 pm and 5 pm on weekdays when Chocomelt runs a “buy two, get 10 % off” deal.
Use the Dubai Mall app for a 5 % digital coupon at Chocomelt (valid once per month).
Buy the 400 g family pack for AED 80—cheaper per gram than three 100 g bars.
Carry a reusable tote; some kiosks charge AED 1 for plastic bags.

Quality check: is cheaper still good?

Chocomelt uses the same 41 % milk chocolate base and real pistachio cream as the bigger brands. The only difference is packaging—paper sleeve instead of a gift box. Taste tests by Dubai Foodie Club in December 2025 rated Chocomelt 8.4/10, only 0.3 points behind Patchi.

Alternatives if Chocomelt runs out

If the Level 1 kiosk is sold out, try the Level 2 branch near the ice rink or head to Candylicious on the ground floor (AED 28 for 100 g). Outside Dubai Mall, the nearest budget option is Chocomelt at Dubai Marina Mall for the same AED 24 price.

Key takeaway

Skip the fancy gift boxes and head straight to the Level 1 Chocomelt kiosk in Dubai Mall to secure the cheapest authentic Dubai chocolate for AED 24 per 100 g. A quick price check and a walk past the fountain is all it takes to save up to 60 % compared with luxury outlets.
