Avoid Saturday. Expect a little waiting on Saturday nights; Sunday was reported as having no wait, so choose Sunday or an off-peak visit.
Ask spice level. Check the heat before ordering: some items are very spicy, and even the veg clear soup contained green chillies.
Use mall facilities. Plan to use the nearest mall handwash or restroom rather than expecting one inside the restaurant.
Try South Indian. For a quick first order, consider a dosa, dahi puri or filter coffee, all specifically praised in reviews.
Check temperature. If you order a main course, check that it arrives hot; paneer kolhapuri and other dishes were reported lukewarm.

Reviews range from delicious and authentic to bland, with some dishes described as lacking seasoning or character.
The Cheese Pav Bhaji was reported as a tiny bowl, with the reviewer saying its portion and taste did not justify the price.
Some visits involve slow ordering or waits exceeding 30 minutes, while another found the table was not cleared between courses.
There is no handwashing facility inside the restaurant; diners report needing to use the mall’s facilities instead.
One diner reported persistent strong body odour from service staff near the table, which significantly affected the visit.
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.
