Can You Find Fluffy Soufflé Pancakes in Dubai? 🥞
Are you looking for fluffy Japanese-style soufflé pancakes in Dubai?
You may be surprised to learn that Dubai has several cafés where you can enjoy soft and fluffy pancakes similar to the popular soufflé pancakes found in Japan.
As a Japanese family living in Dubai for over four years, we would like to introduce two of our favorite pancake cafés.
OKIMASU – A Pancake Café in Dubai
The first café we would like to recommend is OKIMASU.
Not only are the pancakes delicious, but almost every item on the menu is beautifully presented and perfect for Instagram photos.
During our visit, we ordered:
• Matcha Soufflé Pancake
• Coffee Pudding Cake
• Honey Fruit Tea
• Mr. Egg Custard (takeaway)
Everything was adorable and delicious.
OKIMASU Interior
The café is small but cozy.
We noticed Japanese signs throughout the store, along with familiar decorations such as lucky cats and daruma dolls.
Because the seating area is limited, the café was already full when we arrived around lunchtime.
Price of Soufflé Pancakes at OKIMASU
The Matcha Soufflé Pancake cost 52 AED (about 14 USD).
Most pancakes on the menu range from 45 to 52 AED.
Location & Official Website
OKIMASU is located inside Midtown Central Mall Majan in Dubai.
Free underground parking is available.
According to the café’s information, reservations are not accepted, so we recommend visiting with extra time to spare.
SABAKU – A Popular Pancake Restaurant in Sharjah
Our second recommendation is SABAKU.
Although SABAKU is located in Sharjah rather than Dubai, it is easily accessible by car from Dubai.
This restaurant serves not only desserts but also a variety of Japanese dishes.
Everything we tried was excellent.
During our visit, we ordered:
• Crème Brûlée Fluffy Pancake
• Smoked Wagyu Beef Bowl
• Omurice
• Dango
• French Toast
The Omurice had a Japanese-style flavor, and the Wagyu bowl was particularly impressive.
SABAKU Interior
The restaurant features a stylish Japanese-inspired design.
The dining area is spacious, and we did not have to wait for a table.
Price of Fluffy Pancakes at SABAKU
The Crème Brûlée Fluffy Pancake cost 50 AED (about 13.5 USD).
Most pancake dishes range from 50 to 55 AED.
Location & Official Website
SABAKU is located in Sharjah, next to Dubai.
Free parking is available.
