About PurpleX

Mini pancakes and waffle sticks loaded with Nutella, Lotus Biscoff, pistachio or Dubai chocolate are the signature sweets, alongside strawberry kunafa, milkshakes, fresh juices, smoothies, lattes, matcha and Turkish tea. A newer savoury menu adds chicken saj, zinger sandwiches, fries and loaded potatoes. The purple-lit room makes a relaxed spot to hang out or study.
