What to Avoid (13)

Food 13

  1. Aloo matar Net −1
    “The Aloo matar ordered had Microwaved potato which was half baked and tasted exactly like Rubber. No taste of spice and was bland.”
  2. Badam barfi Net −1
    “I purchased Badam Barfi today only because I trusted the brand name, but it was a huge disappointment. The sweet was stale and rotten — completely inedible! This is the worst sweet I’ve ever had. Very poor quality and not fresh at all. Don’t buy it!”
  3. Chola bhatura Net −1
    “Worst experience about the food ( chola bhatura and boiled potato/ Chana) it’s not a curry it’s like hot water they added the potato.”
  4. Kulfi falooda Net −1
    “We thought kulfi falooda would at least be good but to our surprise it was pathetic”
  5. Manchurian Net −1
    “Tried their lunch combos this time. Pretty decent quantity l. Food wasn't up to the mark though as the manchurian was extremely salty.”
  6. Paneer parantha Net −1
    “From last 3 weeks the food quality is so bad. After telling so many times there is no improvement. Half cooked channa, puri looks so bad and paneer parantha was really good with stuffed paneer seen but now u can only see flour but paneer has disappeared somewhere.”
  7. Patra Net −1
    “Also, we took Patra which was having a bad smell.”
  8. Puri chana Net −1
    “Puri Chana's channas are not cooked well. The chef should make it soft.”
  9. Raj kachiri puri Net −1
    “Ambience is below average, raj kachiri puri was hard . Mix veg paratha was good so was samosa. Onion kachori was fresh and yum. Their service is good. Staffs are very kind except the one who takes order and does the billing.He made us feel very unwelcoming! He took condiments from our table while we were still eating , didn’t even ask for it! He was giving racist vibes while all other staffs were very kind and humble ! Probably will never visit again because of that one staff . Plus no free parking!!”
  10. Samosa chaat Net −1
    “Very poor chaat. The poori was so cold and not crispy. One of the worst pani puri and samosa chaat in Dubai”
  11. Thali Net −1
    “terrrible experience. My colleague and i after series of meetings came into this place. we ordered Thali. my colleague was super hungry . The thali costed 25 dhs and they served one subji small portion of rice and two tandoori roti. When we asked for an extra portion of subji as it was clearly not enough they said we have to oay extra.”
  12. Veg thali Net −1
    “Dear restaurant manager I order veg thali and in 30 Dirham thali I got dry potatoes vegetable and veg jalfrezi (look in picture it's only onion gravy without any vegetables ) Sometimes in thali they send dry chick peas and Chana dal We understand potatoes is 2 dirham kg and onion 2 dirham kg and we r paying AED 30. Such quality upset our stomach.”
  13. Pani puri Net −3
    “Visited this place as we had stopped by to munch in we decided to have pani puri from this place . It was handed over to us within 5 mins of time as they was no crowd at all . Pricing wise it just costed us Dhs 10/- only . Staff people were decent . The pani puri were strictly average could have been better .”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Check Freshness. For pani puri or ragda, ask whether the preparation is fresh; one review raised concerns about repeated reheating.

2

Confirm Orders. Double-check takeaway and delivery items before leaving, especially dietary orders; one customer received daal chawal instead of sabudana khichdi.

The Bottom Line

Puranmal is a vegetarian Indian restaurant and sweets shop in Dubai Silicon Oasis, with a menu that ranges from quick chaat and street-food snacks to dosas, thalis and North Indian sweets. Pav bhaji, dosa, samosa ragda, gulab jamun and barfi are among the named items that have pleased reviewers, while one customer found a 27 AED north Indian thali generous enough to include curry, roti, rice, sweets, raita, dal, salad and pickle. The picture is notably mixed.

Older reviews describe consistent flavours, tasty chole bhature, masala dosa, vada pav and sweets, but several 2025–2026 reviews report a sharp drop in standards. Complaints include watery or bland curry, hard chaat poori, stale sweets, half-cooked channa and limited menu availability. Service is another gamble: some diners found staff kind and helpful, while others reported slow attention, rude behaviour and incorrect orders.

The dining area is small and can feel congested, and parking has been reported at 10 AED per hour. If ordering, check that special instructions are followed and confirm the dish before leaving. For pani puri or ragda, asking about freshness is sensible given one serious food-safety complaint, though that account is a single customer report rather than a verified finding.
