Check portions. If ordering paneer pakoda, confirm the serving size first; one diner said the menu showed two pieces but received two halves.
Prefer dining in. For delivery, allow for possible delays or cancellation: one Talabat order was cancelled after a one-hour wait.
Choose favourites. Start with chole bhature if you want a well-reviewed main; it is praised in several visits and paired well with sweets.
Try thali. The Deluxe thali is a strong repeat-order choice, while the winter thali is worth considering when sarsoon ka saag is available.
Plan seating. If table comfort matters, ask for a standard chair and wider table rather than relying on the sofas.
Use parking. The branch is reported to have parking and sits close to the beach, making it useful after a swim or seaside visit.

A Talabat order was cancelled after a one-hour wait, so delivery reliability may be a concern.
One diner received only two half pieces of paneer pakoda instead of the two pieces shown on the menu.
The sofas were considered awkward for dining, with a suggestion for proper chairs and wider tables.
One review found the kulcha unlike a conventional kulcha and not worth ordering.
A customer reported difficulty getting answers from staff and too many problems with phone calls.
The Bottom Line
Bikanervala in Jumeirah is a pure-vegetarian Indian restaurant and sweets shop with enough range for a full meal or a quick snack. Reviews point to chole bhature, chaat, thalis, kachoris and mithai as the main draws. The Deluxe thali has earned repeat visits, while a winter thali with sarsoon ka saag, makki roti and white butter was especially memorable to one diner.
The food is often described as fresh, authentic and reminiscent of India. Chhole bhature, paneer dishes, jalebi, rasmalai and traditional sweets receive particularly strong feedback. The restaurant is also described as clean, welcoming and well maintained, with several comments about quick, courteous service.
Its Jumeirah setting near the beach, plus reported parking, makes it a handy stop after a swim or a casual family meal. There are a few details to manage. Seating sofas may not be comfortable for a proper dinner, and one review questioned the kulcha’s texture.
A paneer pakoda order was reported as smaller than the menu indicated. Delivery also needs caution: a Talabat order was cancelled after a one-hour wait. For value, one group reported paying AED 135 for four people, though this is an older customer-reported amount rather than a current price.
