    “I ordered a Buddha bowl from the starters section but the portion was generous and I was pretty full.”
  7. Burrata Net +1
    “They have a variety of food, I have never ever seen vegan before like eggs benedict and burrata. And they taste so real you question if it's really vegan.”
  8. Caramel cheesecake Net +1
    “• Caramel Cheesecake: A decadent and perfect way to end the night. 🍰”
  9. Carrot tart Net +1
    “The Carrot Tart was also great, just a little crumbly.”
  10. Cashew cheesecake Net +1
    “We also took home some of their homemade items: sourdough, granola, orange pound cake, and cashew cheesecake. The sourdough and granola felt wholesome and well-crafted, and the cashew cheesecake was a satisfying vegan indulgence.”

  12. Chocolate muffin Net +1
    “The chocolate muffin is highly recommended especially if you don’t like something too sweet!”
  13. Cold brew Net +1
    “We tried tempeh souvlaki, green risotto and cold brew and everything tasted very delicious! Kudos to the chef for making tempeh taste so good. It was soft and had no bad tempeh after taste”
  14. Eggs benedict Net +1
    “They have a variety of food, I have never ever seen vegan before like eggs benedict and burrata. And they taste so real you question if it's really vegan.”
  15. Forest mushroom soup Net +1

  17. French toast Net +1
    “This spot has the best damn French toast I have ever had!”
  18. Frenchie Net +1
    “The food was delicious - the Frenchie, lasagne, risotto and falafel and lentil pita pocket is highly recommended.”
  19. Fried mushroom burger Net +1
    “The highlight of the meal was the fried mushroom burger. This dish alone makes a return visit worthwhile. The mushroom was fried beautifully, offering that hearty, almost “meaty” texture that makes plant-based dining exciting. The true winner, however, was the spicy sauce—it elevated the entire burger and brought bold flavor that tied everything together.”
  20. Fries Net +1
    “The fries were well-seasoned, but they could have benefited from being fried at a slightly higher oil temperature. Some of them seemed to retain a bit of grease, which slightly affected the texture. A hotter fryer would likely have created a crisper exterior without absorbing excess oil, taking the side from good to excellent.”
  21. Garlic tofu wrap Net +1
    “Garlic tofu wrap: The wrap had a lot of veggies and the first bite was a bit dry, but as you dig in deeper the flavours get better. I loved the sweet potato fries with it.”

  25. Hummus bowl Net +1
    “We had the Hummus bowl, Sharwama wrap, Tofish and chips, Smoothies and Tiramsu. Everything was delicious.”
  26. Iftar Net +1
    “We recently went for their Iftar, and it was such a beautiful combination of Middle Eastern dishes comforting, generous, and deeply flavorful.”

  38. Tempeh tempura Net +1
    “Next came the tempeh tempura layered over fresh coleslaw and crisp lettuce. The crunch of the tempura paired nicely with the freshness of the slaw, creating a well-balanced bite. It was light but still filling, showcasing thoughtful preparation.”
  39. The benedict Net +1

What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

  1. Orange pound cake Net −1
    “Additionally, the orange pound cake did not meet expectations. It was extremely hard—hard enough that I didn’t attempt to eat it. I had anticipated something soft and fresh, but it felt as though it had been sitting out too long.”
  2. Vegan eggs Net −1
    “The vegan eggs, which seemed so innovative, were particularly bad – completely inedible.”

The Bottom Line

Planet Terra is a fully vegan café in The Greens, suited to diners who want plant-based food that goes beyond salads and smoothies. The menu includes familiar dishes reworked with vegan ingredients, and reviewers call out the vegan lasagna, tempeh souvlaki, French toast and tofu scramble. A generous Buddha bowl and filling burgers also make it possible to leave properly fed rather than merely virtuous.

The setting is a major part of the appeal. Indoor seating is complemented by a terrace beside the lake, with a quiet, leafy atmosphere that works for relaxed meals or laptop time; reviewers mention charging outlets around the café. Dogs are welcome outside, and one review notes shaded space and water for pets.

Families are catered for with a separate kids menu. There are a few practical catches. The restroom is outside, table water may not be provided, and one couple paid around 260 AED for two people before tip.

Food is generally praised, but reviews mention a smaller lasagna portion, a hard orange pound cake and occasionally greasy fries. If you have nut allergies, tell the team clearly: a visiting group said staff double-checked ingredients carefully. Street parking is available, but there is no dedicated car park.
