The bhaji was specifically praised for its flavour, making it one of the more reliable named dishes in the reviews.
A reviewer enjoyed the dosa for being really nice and crispy, alongside the pav bhaji.
A reported north Indian thali at 27 AED included curry, roti, rice, sweets, raita, dal, salad and pickle.

“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!!”

“I visited Puranmal on Wednesday, April 29 evening with my husband and we had pani puri and samosa ragda. Honestly, we never expected that our dinner meal to end up causing such a serious health issue specially for me. The next day, both of us had severe stomach problems and my condition became so bad that I had to be admitted to the hospital with severe bacterial and viral stomach infection/ food poisoning with continuous vomiting and diarrhea( can’t imagine the pain and suffering I went through for a week). What worried me even more was the way the food was being handled. The ragda was heated in a plastic container, poured onto the samosa and then the whole plate was reheated again in the oven. I’m not sure whether it was because of the reheated food/ old stock/ or the pani puri water, but there was definitely some kind of contamination. This place has really lost the quality it once had. After this experience, I honestly don’t feel safe eating here again and would not recommend this restaurant to others either. Food should be served fresh, especially items like pani puri ( water mainly) and ragda, instead of repeatedly reheating it. Very disappointing experience.”May 2026
Check Freshness. For pani puri or ragda, ask whether the preparation is fresh; one review raised concerns about repeated reheating.
Confirm Orders. Double-check takeaway and delivery items before leaving, especially dietary orders; one customer received daal chawal instead of sabudana khichdi.
Repeat Requests. If you want no onion, garlic or sweet sauce, confirm it directly when ordering and inspect the dish before settling in.
Paid Parking. Budget for parking rather than assuming it is free; one customer reported a charge of 10 AED per hour.
Avoid Crowds. For a quicker seat, try outside busy festival or peak shopping periods, when the restaurant can be packed.

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.
