Pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds all sugared up into one, result in this giant tower of Turkish delight. Apart from it being heavenly to look at, this is a common sight in the markets in Turkey. But have you seen one in Dubai? 
It is currently teasing the taste buds of foodies visiting Lebanese restaurant Mazaher for Iftar. Each layer has a flavor of its own, but the real deal is when you can gorge them all at the same time. Served with two biscuits, this dessert is the only one you'll need this Ramadan.

Usually a Turkish delight is prepared on base of starch and sugar. But varieties that can be created with it are endless. Most include chopped dates, pistachios, hazelnuts and walnuts bound by the gel, otherwise known as halva. They can be flavored with rosewater, cinnamon, orange, or lemon. 
Mazaher serves a traditional Lebanese Iftar set menu priced at Dh135 which will be offered till 9pm every day. The menu includes Mezza on Table, Hot Mezza as well as an array of dishes such as Stuffed Lamb Ouzi and mixed grilled Shish tawook, Lebanese kofta. It is located at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
