The Bottom Line

Salaam Namaste is a self-described pure-vegetarian Indian restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Reviews make it most useful for North Indian comfort food and chaat: chola bhature, pani puri, veg thali and jalebi rabri all receive specific praise. One reviewer also enjoyed a multi-cuisine spread including butter chicken and yakhni pulao, so the customer descriptions do not always match the pure-vegetarian positioning.

The strongest reports describe fresh, flavorful food and a cosy, welcoming setting. Pani puri is described as unlimited, while some diners appreciated having dishes adjusted to their preferred taste. Paid parking, including nearby RTA parking, is another practical advantage, and one review says the restaurant stays open until midnight.

The experience is not consistent. Several customers mention very slow preparation, bland or poorly made thalis, watery Manchurian, and small portions. A particularly serious review reported stones in a sprouts salad; another raised concerns about an unusual smell in cooked food.

Delivery feedback includes incorrect packing of dahi puri and a warning to verify online prices before ordering. For a first visit, ask what is actually available in the thali, confirm spice levels and allow extra time. It may suit a relaxed dine-in or snack stop better than a rushed meal.
