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.
