Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

No Vegan Options

One review found every dish contained dairy and said staff could not suggest or customise a vegan meal.

Uneven Chole

Chole bhature is praised by some customers but was also reported as tasteless with hard bhature, so consistency can vary.

The Bottom Line

Haldiram’s Al Mankhool is a large vegetarian Indian restaurant in Al Raffa with dine-in, takeaway, delivery, sweets and plenty of street-food comfort dishes. Customers come for Delhi-style flavours, with raj kachori, chole bhature, aloo tikki and pani puri among the recurring favourites. The sweets counter is another draw, especially rasmalai, rasgulla, kaju katli and motichoor laddoos.

The setting is clean, bright and spacious, with comfortable family seating and an atmosphere several reviewers found reminiscent of India’s busy food streets. Service is often described as quick and welcoming, though busy periods have brought queues, inattentive servers and delays. A digital menu and direct payment system were appreciated by one diner.

Food quality is not completely consistent. Some customers called the chole bhature outstanding, while another received tasteless chole and very hard bhature. Portion size also divided opinion, with complaints that thalis and other meals could feel small for the price.

The restaurant is not a practical choice for vegans: one review found dairy in every dish and no useful customisation. Check the bill carefully, and consider visiting outside peak periods.
