What to Eat at Kamat Vegetarian - Dubai Silicon Oasis How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Kamat Vegetarian - Dubai Silicon Oasis, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Kamat Vegetarian - Dubai Silicon Oasis, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Bhendi do pyaza Net +1
“We ordered Veg Hyderabadi, Bhendi Do Pyaza, and a refreshing Kokam Sharbat. The food was flavorful and well-balanced, with just the right blend of spices. The Veg Hyderabadi was rich and aromatic, with a lovely texture and depth of flavor. The Bhendi Do Pyaza was cooked to perfection — the okra was fresh, not slimy, and paired beautifully with the caramelized onions and spices.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. If you want masala dosa, allow extra time: one diner said it took quite a while, though it was worth waiting for.
Try thali. The veg thali is a practical first order if you want a filling meal with several items at a reasonably priced menu option.
Check breakfast. Avoid arriving when breakfast service is under pressure if timing matters; one order took 40 minutes and arrived incomplete.
Check takeaway. Double-check takeaway orders and portions before leaving, as reviews mention both an incorrect order and disappointing fried-rice quantity.

The Bottom Line
Kamat Vegetarian is a broad vegetarian restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis, with North Indian, South Indian, Chinese and fusion choices. For a first visit, the veg thali is a sensible starting point: one diner found it filling and reasonably priced, while an online-order review praised its taste and portion size. Masala dosa, paneer dishes and chaat also receive plenty of attention.
The setting is one of the clearer strengths. A reviewer liked the green theme carried through from the walls to the cutlery, and other diners describe the atmosphere as clean, comfortable and welcoming. Breakfast is popular with some regulars, especially alongside filter coffee, saffron tea or masala tea.
Parking at the mall and handicap facilities were also mentioned positively. Consistency is the main caveat. Some South Indian meals arrived lukewarm, with sweet sambar or cold coconut chutney, while another diner found portions too small for the price.
A falooda was described as watery, and a pav bhaji sandwich was criticised for its tiny bread and sparse filling. Breakfast service has occasionally been slow, and one takeaway order was reportedly incorrect. If you are vegan, check the available choices first; oat-milk coffee and tea were not offered in one review.
