“Then I ordered mango smoothie and I took photo of it. I saw the person preparing smoothie with mango powder, which I did not like it. Mango smoothie or juice or lassi is prepared by seasonal fruit or syrup and not from powder I could literally feel powder taste while having a sip.”

Try Pani Puri. Order the pani puri, especially if you prefer milder heat; one diner enjoyed it enough to order a second serving.
Ask For Spice. Tell the staff your preferred spice level: a review says both spicy and less-spicy requests were followed accurately.
Stamp Parking. If driving, ask for the mall parking ticket to be stamped; one review reports up to two hours free parking this way.
Try Lunch Deal. The 10 AED lunch deal is specifically praised as worth trying, making it a useful first visit option.

One customer found the masala dosa unusually poor, so this dish may be less reliable than the better-reviewed items.
Some diners felt quantities were short, including a complaint that the thali needed at least four chapatis at the same price.
One Sunday lunch review found the executive meal good but not sufficiently hot when served.
One reviewer reported unfriendly behaviour from the owner and objected to being asked for payment before receiving or eating the meal.
The Bottom Line
Veggie Delights Express is a pure-vegetarian restaurant inside Al Hudaiba Mall, suited to diners looking for Indian comfort food without a large bill. The menu has enough range to make a quick meal interesting: reviewers mention soya chaap shawarma, paneer shawarma, pani puri, deluxe thali, pav bhaji and paneer tikka burger. The food is also available for takeaway, and one customer ordered catering for 50 guests with positive feedback on quality, taste and packaging.
The strongest pattern is fresh, homemade-style food served quickly by friendly staff. Spice levels can be adjusted successfully, and the pani puri is a recurring favourite; one diner liked it enough to order another serving and found it manageable rather than overly spicy. The pav bhaji and several thali options also receive specific praise.
The setting is a mall food-court-style location with seating, and one review reports up to two hours of free parking with ticket stamping. Prices are often described as reasonable, including a reported 10 AED lunch deal. Quality is not completely consistent: one diner disliked the masala dosa, another found a Sunday lunch meal insufficiently hot, and takeaway packaging caused soggy papads.
Check portions and packing when ordering to go.
