Avoid Crowds. Visit outside peak periods if possible: one breakfast reviewer had to wait for a seat because the restaurant was very crowded.
Check Orders. Confirm the dish when ordering and when served; reviewers report receiving masala dosa for Mysore dosa and ghee roast for chole bhature.
Request Hot. Ask whether snacks are freshly heated before paying, as bajjis and similar items were reported cold.
Ask For More. If you need extra sambar or chutney, ask early; one review says a refill took about 15 minutes.
Check Bill. Review the bill before leaving, particularly for small add-ons such as onion pakoda or extra rice.
Takeaway Option. For a quick breakfast away from the dining room, takeaway has been reported as neatly packed and still fresh and warm.

The Bottom Line
VegMe is a pure-vegetarian restaurant in Al Qusais that mainly attracts diners looking for inexpensive South Indian food. Breakfast is the clearest draw: reviewers mention masala dosa, ghee roast, idly, vadai, poori masala and tea, with some calling the flavours authentic and the dosas crisp. A family of three was reported to eat a filling breakfast for 15 AED, so this is firmly aimed at budget meals rather than a polished dining occasion.
Food quality can be very good when the kitchen is on form. One takeaway arrived fresh and warm; its idly was soft and fluffy, while the vadai stayed crisp without being oily. Tea also gets praise, though another customer found the taste had become bland and the tea disappointing.
Expect a basic, sometimes crowded setting with limited indoor seating, heat outside and notably dim lighting. Service is the bigger variable: some reviewers describe quick, friendly attention, while others waited 5–10 minutes to order, received the wrong dish or encountered rude staff. Check your order and bill, and ask whether snacks, sambar and chutney are hot and available before settling in.
Takeaway may be the easier choice when the dining room is busy.
