Food 12

  1. Broccoli starter Net −1
    “Even we took broccoli starter that was not cooked properly.”
  2. Cheese pav bhaji Net −1
    “I recently visited Kamat Restaurant at Ibn Battuta Mall and ordered the Cheese Pav Bhaji. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The portion served was extremely small — just a tiny bowl — and when we asked the waiter if this was correct, he confirmed that this is their standard serving. We still went ahead, but the taste was also not up to the mark.”
  3. Curd- vada Net −1
    “I ordered a plate of Curd- Vada and Paneer Bhurji dosa over here. The taste was basic, and the quantity seemed okay to me. But, I was a little disappointed with the taste.”
  4. Fried rice Net −1
    “We went for the Indo-Chinese options — paneer manchurian and fried rice. Both dishes were bland and lacked any real flavor; the paneer was tasteless, and the fried rice was no better.”
  5. Onion oothapam Net −1
    “Also had onion oothapam which was a bit tough and rubbery feel. The dough could have been more soft.”
  6. Paneer kohlapuri Net −1
    “Food was ok, but it was not hot! Especially the paneer kohlapuri. It was neither hot nor spicy!”
  7. Paneer manchurian Net −1
    “We went for the Indo-Chinese options — paneer manchurian and fried rice. Both dishes were bland and lacked any real flavor; the paneer was tasteless, and the fried rice was no better.”

  9. Poori aloo Net −1
    “Not a great experience I had with simple poori aloo and idly which I ate yesterday.”
  10. Rabdi kulfi Net −1
    “Hoping to salvage the experience, we tried the rabdi kulfi, which turned out to be worse — with a sandy texture.”
  11. Spring masala dosa Net −1
    “The spring masala dosa was a disappointment…. Stuffed with noodles & non descript vegetables , it was a waste of both time & money 😅🥲”
  12. Veg clear soup with spring onions Net −1
    “I had the veg clear soup with spring onions, but it was spicier than expected because it had green chilies. Just a heads up for those who don't like spicy food!”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Avoid Saturday. Expect a little waiting on Saturday nights; Sunday was reported as having no wait, so choose Sunday or an off-peak visit.

2

Ask spice level. Check the heat before ordering: some items are very spicy, and even the veg clear soup contained green chillies.

The Bottom Line

Kamat Vegetarian is a pure-vegetarian restaurant inside Ibn Battuta Mall in Jebel Ali Village, useful when a group wants Indian food without meat on the menu. The choices run from North and South Indian dishes to Indianised Chinese food. Reviewers have specifically enjoyed the unlimited thali, Mysore Masala Cheese Dosa, Dahi Puri and filter coffee, while the Nawabi Tarkari Pulao and Manchow soup also received strong praise.

The best reason to visit is the breadth: families can order across regional styles, and children have reportedly liked the stuffed mushroom. Several diners describe the food as fresh, authentic and reasonably priced, and the mall location makes covered parking convenient. Service is sometimes quick and attentive, with staff praised for being courteous and helpful.

That consistency is the main question mark. Other visits found bland flavours, lukewarm food, chewy or undercooked elements, and a very small Cheese Pav Bhaji portion. Waiting can exceed 30 minutes, particularly around Saturday night, although Sunday was reported to be quieter.

There is no handwash inside the restaurant, so plan to use the mall facilities. If you are spice-sensitive, ask before ordering: some dishes and even the clear soup were described as unexpectedly hot.
