Start with chaat. For a first order, try a chaat item; a recent review mentions an offer starting from AED 5.
Check orders. Review the bill and tray at the counter before leaving, since customers have reported wrong items and missing portions.
Try thali. If sharing, consider an executive thali: one reviewer said its generous portions were enough for two people.
Visit off-peak. The food court was described as usually quiet, making it a potentially calmer place for chai, work or a casual meal.
Choose carefully. If ordering dessert, note that falooda reviews are mixed: mango falooda was praised, while another falooda was strongly criticised.

Multiple recent reviews report harsh or dismissive counter interactions, including arguments over incorrect orders.
Customers have reported receiving the wrong item and being told to check the bill rather than having the mistake resolved smoothly.
Food feedback varies sharply: some reviewers found dishes fresh, while others reported hard idli and vada or a bad-smelling sambar.
One delivery review described curry arriving with visible layers of oil and a disappointing, heavy taste.
Although several diners call the portions good value, one reviewer found the pricing high compared with similar chaat places.
The Bottom Line
Khau Galli is a broad Indian restaurant in the Silicon Central food court, Dubai Silicon Oasis, with enough range for a snack stop or a full meal. Chaat is the clearest draw: dahi puri, pani puri, Raj kachuri, papdi chaat and golgappa all appear in reviews. Pav bhaji, chole bhature, dosas and thalis give you more substantial choices, while the menu also includes Indian-Chinese dishes, snacks and desserts.
The strongest feedback is about flavour, freshness and portion size. One diner found the executive thali generous enough for two people to share, and samosa with chai was praised as freshly fried. The open food-court seating is kid-friendly and spacious, with a lively street-food atmosphere that suits casual meals with friends or family.
Service and consistency are the main reasons to stay cautious. Several recent reviews describe rude counter interactions, incorrect orders, missing portions and delays. Food quality is also uneven: some customers found everything fresh and hot, while others reported hard idli and vada, bad-smelling sambar, oily curry or a poor falooda.
Check your order before leaving, and consider the chaat offer starting from AED 5 when available.
