The Bottom Line

Vasanta Bhavan in Dubai Investment Park is a pure-vegetarian restaurant where South Indian breakfast is the clearest draw. Dosa, idli, uttapam, vada and mini tiffin all appear in positive reviews, while sambar and filter coffee have particularly loyal fans. The mini tiffin brings idli, dosa, vada and sambar together, and the menu also includes North Indian thali, chapathi, savouries and sweets.

The setting is described as cosy, calm and suitable for families; cartoons on the television are a small bonus for children. Several reviewers praise friendly service, cleanliness and quick breakfasts, and free parking is reported behind the building. Ask about availability before ordering because some dishes are offered only in the morning or evening.

Access from the main road can be confusing, so allow time to find the entrance. Experiences are not completely consistent. Recent complaints include slow or rude service, cold food, small thali portions, watery chutney and hygiene concerns, including reports of flies and plastic in food.

Prices are also disputed: some diners call the restaurant pocket-friendly, while others found the portions poor value, especially for North Indian thali. For a first visit, breakfast and the well-regarded coffee or sambar seem the most dependable starting points.
