Ask first. Ask whether extra sambar costs more before ordering; one diner was told additional sambar was chargeable.
Try Sundays. For broader North Indian choices, consider Sunday, when one review specifically praised the North Indian food.
Check change. Check your change before leaving; one customer said a 10 AED shortfall was corrected only after they queried it.
Plan parking. Paid parking is available outside the building, but weekend parking can be difficult when spaces are busy.
Check tables. If dining in, take a quick look at your table before settling; one visitor cleaned theirs with a tissue.

One diner reported many mosquitoes and flies, an uncleaned table and needing to move seats while eating.
A repeat visitor found the second visit worse, with a soggy dosa, a broken tea cup and fewer chutneys.
Some diners consider the restaurant more expensive than nearby alternatives, while another reported higher pricing for the same dish.
A review found the coconut chutney fermented, despite otherwise rating the idli, rasam and meal positively.
One customer felt unwelcome after staff refused a request for ginger tea while the kitchen was busy.
The Bottom Line
Sangam is a South Indian vegetarian restaurant in Oud Metha that works especially well for breakfast, tiffins and thalis. The menu gives you familiar staples such as dosa, idli, pongal and vada, while reviews also point to veg biryani and North Indian dishes. Filter coffee is one of the clearest reasons regulars return.
The South Indian Thali is described as substantial, with curd, yoghurt and buttermilk served alongside the meal. Diners have also praised rava dosa, ghee roast, mini tiffin and vada dipped in rasam. Sunday is worth noting: the vegetarian breakfast buffet includes idli, vada, puri and uthappam, and one review mentions Jain sambar.
Service is often reported as quick, and paid parking is available outside the building. Experiences are not completely uniform. Some visitors found the food oily, portions smaller and prices higher than comparable restaurants, while another reported a soggy dosa, a broken cup and fewer chutneys on a second visit.
Cleanliness also deserves attention: reviews mention mosquitoes, flies, an unclean table and, separately, fermented coconut chutney. Check the table and bill before settling in, and ask about extra sambar if you want more.
