The Good Stuff
Indian sweets
The sweets are a strong reason to visit, with boondi laddo, milk cake, gajar halwa and moong daal barfi all specifically praised.
Office delivery
A corporate snack order arrived fresh, neatly packed and on time, with portions described as good value.
Jain orders
The branch handled a bulk Jain lunch by helping with menu choices, quantities and on-time preparation.
Breakfast
Paratha with tea is a popular breakfast combination, and another breakfast review found the food fresh, tasty and less oily.
Calm setting
One review found the restaurant calm, while others described the interior as pleasant, cozy and comfortable.
Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid entrance. Choose a table away from the entrance, where one review reported mosquitoes and flies.
Ask specials. Ask about the orange-infused sweet: a review says it was off-menu, so it may not appear on the standard selection.
Check takeaway. For takeaway chole bhature, confirm the chole portion before leaving, as one recent customer found it insufficient with two bhatura.
Expect self-service. If you prefer table service, note that one review says this branch operates with self-service.
Find the view. After parking, head downstairs; an evening reviewer mentioned a sea view from that level.
Order off-peak. Consider quieter times if timing matters: one lunch visit found the restaurant uncrowded, while another reported a 20-minute samosa wait.

Common Concerns
Food safety
A customer reported finding a cockroach in the potato of a pani puri plate and said the response was only a brief apology.
Hygiene concern
Another review reported a bee in gravy; the thali was replaced, but the customer still considered the hygiene standards disappointing.
Uneven service
Service has not been consistent: one customer described the branch as slow and inattentive, while another found a simple samosa took 20 minutes.
Small portions
A takeaway customer felt the chole served with two bhatura was recently reduced and not enough for the dish.
Inconsistent freshness
A takeaway order included overcooked samosas and jalebi described as old, hard and dry.

The Bottom Line
Bikanervala in Jumeirah Lake Towers is a vegetarian Indian restaurant, chaat stop and sweet shop. You can come for breakfast chole bhature, paratha with tea, pani puri or a proper North Indian meal, then take home sweets. The reviews especially mention chole bhature, aam ras, dosa, kulcha and several mithai options, including boondi laddo, milk cake and gajar halwa.
There is useful variety for different occasions. A reviewer praised a bulk Jain lunch order that was planned around quantities and delivered on time, while an office snack delivery arrived fresh, neatly packed and on schedule. The dining room has been described as calm, cozy and comfortable, and one evening review mentions a sea view after heading downstairs from the parking area.
Self-service is worth knowing before you arrive. The feedback is not entirely consistent. Some visits report fast, friendly service and fresh, less-oily food, but others describe slow attention, disappointing pani puri and average kulcha.
More seriously, separate reviews reported a cockroach in pani puri and a bee in gravy. For takeaway, check the chole portion with bhature, and avoid tables near the entrance after a report of flies and mosquitoes.
