The Lindt Dubai Style Pistachio & Kadayif bar looks indulgent, but once you break it open, the ratio is heavily weighted toward chocolate. The pistachio layer is thin, and the kadayif crunch is more of a whisper than a highlight. For a $20 bar — especially compared to other Dubai-style chocolates — the promised pistachio wow factor just doesn’t come through.

On the flip side, the Pistachio Lindor truffles are spot on: silky, nutty, and perfectly balanced. A mashup of the two would be a dream bar.

If Lindt gave the Dubai bar more volume in the center (aerated like an Aero) or used their incredible Pistachio Lindor filling with added kadayif crunch, it would be a knockout. Imagine that silky pistachio cream with crunchy layers folded in — finally achieving the perfect balance of richness, texture, and flavor.

Right now, the Pistachio Lindor truffles clearly outshine the Dubai bar because they let the pistachio filling take center stage. Combining both concepts, though, could be a total game-changer.

Edit to add my reply back and photos:

I just wanted to say thank you for the $20 coupon you sent me. I used it to try your pistachio sampler mix, and I absolutely love it—it’s so cute and delicious! I even had a little fun creating my own “mini dessert moments” with your chocolates: using the chocolate bar as a cracker, topping it with half a pistachio truffle, and finishing it with the triangular pistachio bite. It was a small, joyful chocolate adventure!

Your thoughtfulness truly made my day, and I appreciate the chance to try something new. Thank you for turning a chocolate moment into something extra special.
