Avoid Rush. Try visiting outside weekend peak periods: one review reports weekend waits of about an hour.
Plan Parking. Allow extra time to park and walk, as nearby spaces may be hard to find.
Check Sides. For delivery, confirm that idli-vada orders include sambar and chutney before accepting them.
Go Earlier. If you want chaat or snacks, arrive earlier in the evening; they were sold out around 8:45pm in one review.
Plan the visit
| Mon | 6:30 AM – 12:00 AM |

Weekend and busy-period service can be very slow; one review reports waiting about an hour, while another waited over 30 minutes.
Food quality is not consistently reliable, with reports ranging from excellent meals to cold, salty or poorly cooked dishes.
A delivered idli-vada combo was reported missing both sambar and chutney, so takeaway order details may need checking.
One diner reported an open dustbin near the washing area and too many flies inside.
Nearby parking can be difficult to find, and one reviewer had to park farther away and walk.
The Bottom Line
Malgudy is a vegetarian restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis with a broad Indian menu, but South Indian breakfast is where the reviews are most enthusiastic. You can come for Benne dosa, thatte idli, podi idli, vada, or a breakfast thali, then finish with filter coffee. North Indian choices are not an afterthought either: Punjabi and Gujarati thalis, chole bhature and methi thepla all receive positive mentions.
The monthly tiffin and mess service is useful if you want regular meals rather than an occasional visit. Recent customers describe fresh, homely food, good portions and enough daily variety. Takeaway also has a nice touch: one review praised recyclable paper packaging with a banana-leaf base.
There is a real service caveat. Some diners report friendly, attentive hospitality and quick service, but others describe missed orders, missing sides and waits of 30–40 minutes; one weekend review says the wait can reach about an hour. Food quality also appears uneven, with complaints about a raw vada, rubbery thatte idli, excessive salt and cold curd rice.
One reviewer raised concerns about flies and an open dustbin. Parking nearby can be difficult, so allow time to walk, and consider visiting outside peak weekend hours.
