The Bottom Line

Green Gate is a small pure-vegetarian restaurant in Al Karama that suits diners watching their spending. You can come for South Indian breakfast dishes such as plain, set, rawa or podi dosa, or choose North Indian snacks including golgappe, dahi vada and pani puri. Reviews also mention tiffin, vada sambar, puri bhaji and vegetarian meals.

The strongest recurring draw is value. Customers describe freshly cooked, home-style food and specifically praise chapati with soyabean curry and dal. Ginger chai and masala ginger tea are repeatedly singled out, while one review calls the spicy podi dosa a highlight.

45, so check the amount before paying. Expect a compact, busy setting with limited or shared seating; summer cooling has also been criticised. Service reviews are mixed, and one customer reported a long breakfast-delivery delay with no response to calls or WhatsApp.

There is also a serious isolated hygiene complaint involving a cockroach in chana masala and bad-smelling dosa and chutneys. For the easiest visit, go outside peak times, check takeaway or delivery timing, and consider tea, dosa or chaat rather than assuming every menu item will be available.
