What to Avoid (5)

Food 5

Aamras Net −1

“2ndly funniest part his I asked for aamras and they gave me milshak with ice and said this is aamras. Omg n then the guy who taks the order with specs argues with me this is what is aamras and this is what we give. I said this is not aamras and don't fool people by forcing them to have it.”
Channa bathura Net −1

“Food was below average and expectations . Channa bathura was not good as channas were semi cooked. Chaat is very ordinary.”
Kadhi chawal Net −1

“However, the Kadhi Chawal was disappointing. The kadhi itself was very thin, almost watery, and the taste was not up to the mark. The pakodis inside the kadhi were very hard and tight, which affected the overall experience.”
Milshak with ice Net −1

“2ndly funniest part his I asked for aamras and they gave me milshak with ice and said this is aamras. Omg n then the guy who taks the order with specs argues with me this is what is aamras and this is what we give. I said this is not aamras and don't fool people by forcing them to have it.”
Rasmalai Net −1

“Rasmalai wasn’t that great either, while eating had little sour taste.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Check combos. If ordering a breakfast combo, confirm every included item before paying; one customer was charged despite missing halwa.

Check availability. Ask whether kachori is still available before settling on it, as one visit found it sold out.

The Bottom Line

Bikanervala in Business Bay is a pure-vegetarian Indian restaurant and sweet shop where you can combine a full meal with a mithai stop. Breakfast is a popular reason to visit: chole bature and pav bhaji are praised, while chole kulcha, dahi puri and other chaat dishes give the menu a street-food angle. The selection of sweets is one of the more consistent highlights, with kalakand, ghewar and fresh mixed sweet boxes all receiving favourable mentions.

Service is usually described as quick, friendly and helpful, and several reviews mention a clean dining area. That makes the branch convenient for a weekday lunch, a family meal or a quick samosa-and-tea visit. One review also describes receiving an order within 10 minutes during business hours, although another found service somewhat slow.

Quality is not completely even. A customer reported semi-cooked channas in the channa bhatura, while another found the kadhi watery with hard pakodis. There are also isolated complaints about old sev and papdi, sour-tasting rasmalai, and reduced quantity despite higher prices.

Check combo contents and item availability before paying, especially if you are visiting for kachori or a breakfast offer.
