Only neutral feedback

“Came here second time. The first time the food was so amazing, the curries in the tali were great, especially the paneer curry. Today we ordered same tali again, but the curries were not good, not even the paneer curry was tasty.. Plus I ordered one chana masala, which tasted like nothing, chickpeas were overcooked and watery plus they charged me extra 12 AED for jeera rice... Will find other options... (note: the menu on google pictures is old because it says chana masala is 12 but in restaurant it’s 16)”

The Bottom Line

Sharda Vegetarian Restaurant is a pure-vegetarian Gujarati restaurant in Deira, with a menu that reaches well beyond one regional style. The main draw is the Gujarati Thali: diners describe it as homestyle and wholesome, while another review highlights unlimited chapattis, rice and selected curries. The Punjabi Thali is another popular choice, especially for North Indian flavours and paneer dishes.

Breakfast has its own following, particularly Fafda and Gathiya. Other named dishes reviewed positively include vegetable fried rice, Hyderabad biryani and Pav Bhaji, so groups with different cravings should find workable options. The food is often described as fresh, not overly oily and served hot; one diner received their order within 10 minutes.

The restaurant is near the Gold Souk, at the Maryam/Gold Souk Parking Building, which makes it a practical stop after shopping. Reviews generally describe clean surroundings, comfortable seating and welcoming service, although one visitor felt the ambience needed better maintenance. Thali portions are widely seen as good value, but check the bill: a customer reported a paneer paratha price mismatch and an extra chaas charge.

A separate older review also found a later thali visit noticeably less successful than the first.
