Check Spice. Ask how much chilli can be added; one biryani reviewer wanted more heat on a return visit.
Allow Time. Avoid a tight schedule, as multiple reviews mention slow preparation and long waits after ordering.
Confirm Availability. Before ordering a thali, ask exactly what is available; one reviewer found staff unsure about the kitchen selection.
Check Delivery. For delivery, confirm prices and packing instructions, especially for items such as dahi puri that need separation.
Use Parking. Drivers can look for paid parking nearby, including RTA parking around the restaurant.
Go Late. If you need a late meal, the restaurant was reported open until midnight.

Several reviews report very slow preparation, including one complaint about food arriving extremely late.
Food quality varies sharply: one reviewer praised a thali, while another called the thali and lime juice terrible.
A reviewer reported finding a large stone and smaller chipped stones in a sprouts salad.
A delivery review says dahi puri ingredients were not packed separately and instructions were not followed.
One diner left without eating because staff could not explain what was available in the thali or kitchen.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

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.
