The Viral Dubai Chocolate TikTok Sensation Hits Simi Valley—Here’s Where You Can Try It

(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — The dessert that broke TikTok has made its way to Simi Valley. But you don’t need a plane ticket to Dubai or be added to a long waitlist to taste it. You just need to find the Delicious Food truck.
What’s drawing the crowds is a new kind of chocolate-strawberry creation that’s been making headlines around the world. Known as “Dubai chocolate,” it started in the Middle East as a layered chocolate bar filled with pistachio cream and crunchy pastry. Millions watched online as influencers cracked it open and scooped out the gooey center. Now the same viral treat—reimagined with fresh local strawberries and served in cups or on funnel cakes—is here for anyone in Simi Valley curious enough to give it a try.
The “Dubai chocolate” bar began as a boutique sweet in the United Arab Emirates. A rich milk chocolate shell cracked open to reveal pistachio cream and crunchy kataifi pastry. The mix of textures and flavors turned it into a social media storm, pulling millions of views and long lines at dessert shops from London to Los Angeles.
Now, that viral craze is alive in Simi Valley, layered into cups of strawberries, pistachio cream, crispy kataifi, and melted chocolate—all served from a food truck locals already love.
At Delicious Food, the Strawberry Dubai Cup has quickly become a must-try. For $15, you get a layered cup of fresh Ventura County strawberries topped with the pistachio-kataifi crunch and a rich pour of delicious chocolate.
One resident didn’t mince words: “Delicious food has the best strawberry dubai I’ve tasted so far. Come get some!”
But the truck didn’t stop at the cup. They’ve also introduced a Strawberry-Chocolate Dubai Funnel Cake. It’s basically the viral dessert re-imagined as a county fair classic, right here in Simi Valley.
Some History
The Dubai strawberry craze is more than a TikTok dessert—it’s a local story. Ventura County is one of the country’s largest strawberry producers, with over $662 million in strawberry crops harvested in 2022. Pairing that homegrown fruit with an international trend makes the treat feel like it belongs here.
Food trucks have long been part of Simi Valley’s casual dining scene, but this is the first time we’ve seen one tap into a global food movement such as the Dubai chocolate. It gives residents the chance to try a dessert that’s making headlines worldwide, without leaving town.
Finding the Truck
Delicious Food is a moving target, popping up at community spots and events across Simi. Fans follow them on Instagram (@deliciousfood.usa) for location updates. The posts featuring their Dubai chocolate strawberry cups seem to be getting a big response at the moment.
