The Good Stuff
Masala dosa
Masala dosa is repeatedly praised, with one reviewer also finding the sambar and chutney tasty.
Sweet selection
Rasmalai, gulab jamun and other sweets stand out in reviews, giving you a reason to browse the mithai counter after eating.
Helpful service
Several diners describe the staff as warm and attentive, and one meal was promptly replaced when the thali rice was chewy.
Dosa flexibility
The kitchen accommodated a request for extra butter on a butter masala dosa, then served a second dosa quickly.
Food court seating
The Al Ghurair Centre food-court setting has ample seating and Wi-Fi, useful for a casual mall meal.
Tips for a Better Visit
Order early. Place your order before 10pm; a January review says the shutters come down exactly at that time.
Check pricing. Confirm the current breakfast price before paying: one reviewer saw 15 AED online but was charged 32 AED.
Check portions. Ask how many pieces come with snack orders, since a counter image led one diner to expect two tikkis but receive one.
Choose carefully. If freshness matters, be cautious with chaat and kachori: reviews mention cold sev puri and a stiff daal kachori.
Try dosa. Masala dosa is one of the safer first orders, with reviews praising its accompaniments and the option of extra butter.
Skip Chinese. Consider choosing Indian dishes instead of Chinese items, after a review found the Manchurian and paneer chilli fried rice cold and bland.

Common Concerns
High prices
Multiple reviews say small portions and individual snacks feel expensive, including a single tikki priced at AED 16.
Inconsistent freshness
Some diners reported cold or stale chaat, while another found a daal kachori stiff, dry and difficult to eat.
Order mistakes
One visit involved a mistaken aloo chat order, while another missed the roti and required repeated follow-up.
Chinese dishes
A review of Manchurian and paneer chilli fried rice found both dishes cold, watery and bland.
Early closing
The outlet reportedly pulls down its shutters exactly at 10pm, so late evening diners should not leave ordering too late.

The Bottom Line
Bikanervala at Al Ghurair Centre is a pure-vegetarian Indian restaurant in a food-court setting. It suits shoppers or families looking for familiar North Indian food, street-style snacks and sweets without meat on the menu. Masala dosa, dahi puri, rasmalai and gulab jamun are among the named dishes that give the place its strongest appeal.
The dosa receives particularly good feedback: one diner enjoyed the sambar and chutney, while another asked for extra butter and received it. Reviewers also recommend rasmalai, gulab jamun, mattar kulcha and halwa poori. Seating is described as ample, with Wi-Fi available, though the atmosphere is still an average mall food court rather than a dedicated dining room.
Pricing is the main hesitation. Diners have called out AED 19 chaat, a single AED 16 tikki and reduced portions, while one breakfast customer said an online AED 15 offer became a AED 32 charge. Food quality is mixed too: some visits are described as fresh and delicious, but others report cold chaat, a dry kachori or bland Chinese dishes.
Check prices and portions before paying, order before 10pm, and lean toward the better-reviewed Indian staples.
