What to Avoid (4)

Food 4

Aloo kulcha Net −1

“Aloo kulcha was just roti stuffed with aloo. No kulcha flour used just tandoori roti with aloo.”
Bhel Net −1

“The bhel was another letdown it was extremely salty to the point that I couldn’t eat it and had to throw it away.”
Channa Net −1

“Then came the taste. Channa was extremely bad tasting compared to other branch.”
Malai ghevar Net −1

“My favorite is their Malai Ghevar and they have a particular season for this dessert. Tonight I was craving for it and ordered. It was the most disappointing experience, ghevar looked like it was a few days old and the malai on top was freshly put on top and didn’t even taste like malai, tasted like a white sugar syrup was spread on an old ghevar in the kitchen. I don’t think after this I will ever order their malai ghevar again. Have to find some other place now.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Plan parking. Allow extra time for parking or have one person collect the order; a reviewer says spaces can be difficult to find.

Check takeaway. For delivery or takeaway, confirm cutlery and inspect packing on arrival, as reviewers report repeated missing cutlery and spilled containers.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Delivery packing

A delivery arrived with every container spilled; another order reportedly arrived cold in pizza boxes instead of foil.

Branch inconsistency

One Al Barsha South delivery was compared unfavourably with Silicon Oasis, including missing dal makhani, cold bread and poor channa.

The Bottom Line

Bikanervala in Al Barsha South is a vegetarian Indian restaurant where you can sit down for a thali, order familiar street food, or pick up traditional sweets. The most consistently useful starting points are chole bhature, masala dosa, Rajasthani thali and chaat, while mango rabri and rasmalai give the meal a dessert-led finish. The Rajasthani meal gets especially specific praise: diners enjoyed the dal baati choorma, and one reviewer found the thali both tasty and generous.

Chole bhature has also been compared with Delhi street food. The setting is described as clean, comfortable and not too busy, with a family atmosphere that suits children; staff have accommodated requests for mildly spiced food. There are practical caveats, particularly for delivery.

Reviews mention missing cutlery, spilled containers, cold bread and one order arriving with dal makhani missing. Food quality has also varied between orders, including a salty bhel and disappointing malai ghevar. In person, service is usually described as warm, but one breakfast takeaway took 40 minutes in an empty restaurant.

Parking around the branch can be difficult, so allow time or send one person to collect takeaway. For a first visit, dining in and trying the thali or chaat may be the safer way to judge the branch.
