Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6
1

Order Thali. For lunch, consider the thali: one review found it varied and unlimited, with mint/lime water and kesar kulfi afterward.

2

Try Dosas. Dosa fans should start with the Mysore masala dosa or cheese dosa, two favourites from a repeat visitor.

The Bottom Line

Kamat Vegetarian in Al Mankhool is a pure-vegetarian restaurant with a broad Indian menu plus Chinese dishes. South Indian food is the safest starting point in the reviews: regulars return for the Mysore masala dosa, cheese dosa and other dosa variations. The thali is another practical choice, described as varied and unlimited in one review, while dahi batata puri and bhalla papdi chaat appeal if you want something snackier.

The setting is generally described as clean, spacious and comfortable for families, and several customers mention quick, polite service. There is paid RTA parking in front and behind the restaurant. For a table, arriving before 8pm may help on busy evenings; breakfast is not available before 10:30am.

There are important inconsistencies to keep in mind. Some visits produced excellent food, but others reported bland dishes, hard paneer or disappointing thali items. Delivery feedback includes a one-hour arrival instead of 30 minutes, small portions for the price and, more seriously, reports of hair in food and a fly in filter coffee.

If you are ordering takeaway, inspect the meal when it arrives and keep expectations flexible.
