Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Choose pickup. For time-sensitive meals, consider pickup or dining in rather than relying on delivery, which one review says took 2–3 hours.

Try weekday chaat. The chaat corner was reported to have unlimited treats for AED 19 from Monday to Thursday.

The Bottom Line

Apni Rasoi is a pure-vegetarian North Indian restaurant in International City with a distinctly homestyle focus. You can eat in, order takeaway or use delivery, with reviews highlighting samosa chaat, dahi puri, dal makhani and chola bhatura. The menu also reaches into Indian-Chinese dishes and momos, so it is broader than a standard North Indian menu.

The strongest reason to visit is the food itself. Customers describe the chaat as reminiscent of home, samosas as fresh and hot, and dishes such as laccha paratha, dal makhani and lassi as authentic and satisfying. Regular diners also mention thalis, combos and a monthly mess service for everyday meals, with several reviews calling the pricing reasonable or pocket-friendly.

The dining setup is the trade-off. Seating is small, parking can be difficult, and reviews repeatedly mention a poorly maintained washroom. More seriously, the AC was reported not to have worked for over six months.

Delivery feedback is uneven, with reports of two- to three-hour waits, missing items and ignored special instructions. For a first visit, pickup or dining in may be less frustrating, and it is worth checking the order before leaving.
