Specify Spice. Tell the staff how spicy you want chaat; one reviewer says extra sweet sauce may otherwise be added.
Allow Time. Avoid visiting in a rush, as reviews mention waiting after ordering and a thali taking over 30 minutes.
Check Lunch. If you want something specific at lunch, check availability first; one visit had only the meals option.
Delivery Caution. Consider dining in rather than ordering delivery, since one customer described the home-delivery experience as poor.
Drive There. Drivers can use the available parking on the premises, though it is shared rather than dedicated to the restaurant.

Food can take time to arrive; one thali order took more than 30 minutes.
A reviewer received six pani puri pieces for AED 10 and found them mostly filled with water.
South Indian preparation is inconsistent: one customer found a dosa undercooked and inauthentic.
A lunch visit found that only the meals option was available despite the menu listing other choices.
One reviewer liked the taste but felt the pizza was notably too small for its price.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Sandesh is a pure-vegetarian restaurant and sweets shop in Muhaisnah, useful when a group wants Indian food with plenty of choice. Reviews particularly point to chaat, pav bhaji, masala dosa and Indian sweets, so it works for anything from a quick snack to a fuller meal or dessert stop. The strongest mentions are specific: pav bhaji is called a must-try, the chaat selection is broad, and one visit found the masala dosa perfectly crisp and flavorful.
The sweets are also repeatedly described as fresh. Portions and prices are often considered economical, although individual value varies; a reviewer felt a 20dhs pizza was too small, while another found six pani puri for 10 AED disappointing. There is family seating, a comfortable dining area and parking on the premises.
The restaurant suits families and groups, but service is not always speedy: one thali took more than 30 minutes, and another review mentions waiting after ordering. Lunch availability may also be narrower than the menu suggests. For chaat, specify your preferred spice level, and be cautious with delivery, which received a notably poor review.
