Tips for a Better Visit

Avoid peak times. Try visiting outside busy periods or check table availability first, as the small dining area is often full.

Try thali. Ask about the Rajasthani thali if you want an authentic, filling meal with a good portion size.

Common Concerns

Food safety

One online Rajma meal contained a hard black stone that reportedly shook the customer's tooth and needs serious attention.

Limited seating

The Bottom Line

Bikanervala in Jumeirah Village Circle is a vegetarian Indian restaurant for chaat, street food, substantial meals and sweets. The clearest draws in the reviews are chola bhatura, the Rajasthani thali, Dahi puri and dosa. It also works for a late-night vegetarian dinner, with one customer enjoying butter masala dosa and a dal chapel smart bowl after a long day.

The food is often described as authentic, fresh and flavorful. The Rajasthani thali is praised for its portion size, while the desi ghee chole bhature stand out for soft, fluffy bhature. The sweets counter gets specific approval for rasgullas, kaju katli, gulab jamun, rasmalai and Pan Delight.

Service is another strong point: many reviews mention polite, welcoming staff and quick attention. There are practical caveats. Seating is limited and the branch can be busy enough that finding a table is difficult, so off-peak visits make sense.

One review reported a hard black stone in Rajma daal, a serious food-safety concern. Another disliked the plastic thali containers, while a separate customer found the AED 5 chai poor value. Breakfast has been reported at AED 15, and high-speed WiFi may appeal if you want to work remotely.
