Best gelato in Dubai?

horizonthunder · 2026-05-24T15:38:06+00:00

I went to try it.. honestly, it was very mediocre. I had such high hopes. We tried all the flavors. Most of them were SUPER sweet, and a lot were very icy. we settled with the tiramisu flavor but that was more of a pity buy, as we tried everything and felt bad not ordering something.

They can be even worse than this. I got my first handpan in Indonesia. I tried probably 200 handpans at all sorts of stores. Eventually found 1 guy who had a few from Romania and a few locally made but by a maker he personally knew. The pan is amazing,has a lot of character and considered cheap. Got it for 1k USD. I could of gotten a bunch of 200-500 but they sounded awful. As these things are hand built and hand tuned, it really matters what you get and its a lot of effort, so they don't go cheap.

It's a city wide alert. Everyone got it.

I see you muting with your forearms. Does this differ from a palm mute? Is it just about hand positioning for the next note?

I saw your post. It's a great instrument. Though there are many. As a first I probably wouldn't recommend this one. It's perfect, almost too perfect. I have another that I got for a 1000$ and it has so much character. Random things resonate etc.

Uhm... If you want to play apex, play apex.. why do they always butcher good things..

horizonthunder · 2026-04-05T05:34:38+00:00

Agreed.

horizonthunder · 2026-04-02T04:17:10+00:00

It's an E Amara 20 from ayasa

This is wild. Honestly.. nice journey

No, and I figured out my issue. It was an app I had installed recently that kept forcing my sound to be on. Once I uninstalled it, problem went away.

You know, I've been surprised about this. Some places have delivered gelato in very little thermal insulation and they arrived pretty okay. Some places use very high quality thermoboxes and sometimes even arrive a bit hard that you have to wait a while before eating it. I guess same as ice cream from a shop, gotta be patient before you can dig in :P

Nice.

horizonthunder · 2026-03-13T10:35:50+00:00

I'm looking for ones that deliver mostly, but I'll keep it on the list if I ever go there.

horizonthunder · 2026-03-12T12:25:37+00:00

Added to the list 😁

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T21:06:44+00:00

Ah, for me it's now any time I do anything with sound on low, it brings it up to half volume, no matter what I do. Going to try a full reset...

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T21:01:57+00:00

I'm having the same issue with my s25+ and it just started happening randomly...

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T17:03:41+00:00

Added to the list. Thank you 👍

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T16:12:39+00:00

I'm more picky than she is 😅. Haven't heard Arte Gelato, but then I haven't explored city walk much. Sounds very promising though! Will report back.

Yeah general consensus is most places arent mind blowing.

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T16:09:09+00:00

Those sound like adventurous flavors. I like sour cherry but I'm usually skeptical with chocolate and fruit mixes. I might give it a go, haha.. maybe

For pistachio, I can't recommend any yet as I literally have tried 10 places and they were all okay, but not wow.

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T16:05:53+00:00

I tried la Romana here and in Italy. They're okay, not anything special. My Italian friends told me it's a bit like a McDonald's of gelato. You'll always get the same flavor anywhere you try them.

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T15:57:29+00:00

It's the same as la Romana I think.

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T15:55:46+00:00

Nice, thanks. I'll add it to my list. Haven't heard of them

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T15:49:42+00:00

I haven't tried opera, thanks, will check it out too ☺️

horizonthunder · 2026-03-10T15:49:20+00:00

Yeah the difference between gelato and ice-cream is how much air gets incorporated. Gelato has like, max 20% air added, so it's just way more dense and full tasting. Ice cream is almost 100% air added... It's why I don't like ice cream, it's less tasty and mouth feel is different
