Try chaat. For a snack-led visit, ask about Jhal Muri, pani puri or aloo chaat; these are among the clearest review favourites.
Order millet dosa. Choose the millet dosa if you want a less usual dosa or a gluten-free option highlighted by a reviewer.
Check offers. Ask whether the unlimited dosa promotion is still running; one review reported AED 25 with filter coffee from 7am to 7pm.
Plan small groups. Because seating is very limited, avoid arriving with a large group unless you have confirmed space first.
Use main-road parking. If driving, one local reviewer reported plenty of parking on the main road, though the restaurant itself remains compact.
Consider catering. For a gathering, catering is worth asking about: one customer said guests enjoyed the fresh delivered food.

This is a small restaurant; one reviewer estimated it can seat hardly 15 people, so larger groups may struggle.
The wash area is outside the restaurant, which may be inconvenient during a meal.
One diner felt AED 28 for a limited thali and about AED 30 for a curry was steep for the compact setting.
A visit for ghee roast masala dosa, idli vada, tea and coffee was judged noticeably mild rather than strongly flavoured.
The free Wi-Fi shown in the menu reportedly did not connect when tested.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Kaashi is a compact, pure-vegetarian Indian restaurant in Oud Metha that leans into comforting, home-style cooking rather than a formal dining-room experience. You can come for a Shahi thali, Mysore Masala Dosa, pani puri or Jhal Muri, with reviews also highlighting less routine choices such as millet dosa and Hyderabadi veg biryani. The strongest theme is variety across North and South Indian food, while the cooking still feels personal and homely.
Diners mention fresh thalis with dal, sabzi, paneer, roti and sweets; crisp samosas; balanced spice; and generous portions. The family-run team is often praised for helping guests choose dishes and accommodating taste preferences. Catering is also available, and one customer said the delivered food went down well with guests.
Keep the physical setup in mind. This is a small, tidy restaurant, with one review estimating seating for hardly 15 people; another specifically advises against large groups. The wash area is outside.
Pricing opinions are mixed: one diner considered AED 28 for a limited thali and around AED 30 for a curry expensive, while other reviews call the food reasonably priced. If you visit for a casual snack, ask about current offers and consider the chaat or millet dosa.
