Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Dubai
Which vegetarian restaurants in Dubai best suit your meal?
Choose Avatara for an Indian vegetarian tasting menu, Rasoi Ghar or Maharaja Bhog for a changing thali, and MyGovinda’s or Kamat for a broader Indian vegetarian menu. SEVA Table, Wild & The Moon and Planet Terra offer plant-based café dining. Sangeetha is a South Indian vegetarian option in Karama. Comptoir 102 is a separate mixed-menu alternative with vegetarian and vegan dishes; it also serves fish and chicken.
How to use this shortlist
This guide separates wholly vegetarian restaurants, plant-based cafés and a mixed-menu alternative. Best-for selections reflect the published menu, dining format and location, rather than a numerical quality ranking or a comparative tasting. Vegetarian menus may contain dairy or eggs; vegan, Jain and gluten-free requests are different requirements.

Avatara Dubai
A planned vegetarian tasting-menu evening
Avatara is the tasting-menu choice in this shortlist. Its Indian vegetarian experiences offer 12 or 17 courses at Dubai Hills Estate, with separate beverage experiences.
Vegan and gluten-free menus are available on request. The linked 12-course menu includes dairy, so make the dietary arrangement when reserving rather than assuming the default menu fits. Published evening service runs Tuesday to Sunday, with Monday closed.

Plant-based cafés
-
SEVA Table Dubai
A plant-based garden café in Jumeirah
SEVA Table combines plant-based café dining with a garden at its Jumeirah 1 address. Its indoor space and garden make it a useful choice for a relaxed café meal.
The operator describes its food as gluten-free and cane-sugar-free. It also describes the venue as WiFi free, meaning a setting without guest internet rather than free internet access. Keep table bookings separate from the wider venue’s yoga and other activities.

Wild & The Moon Dubai
Plant-based café dining in Al Quoz or Downtown
Wild & The Moon offers a plant-based café option at two named Dubai locations: Alserkal Avenue in Al Quoz and Emaar Boulevard in Downtown. Choose the outlet that fits your day before planning the meal.
The brand’s offer includes bowls, salads, hot meals, juices and plant-based drinks. Specific dishes and availability belong to the selected outlet’s current menu; this guide does not treat juice-programme marketing as evidence of a health benefit.

Planet Terra The Greens Dubai
Plant-based mains and desserts in The Greens
Planet Terra is a plant-based café in Panorama Building, The Greens. Its linked menu ranges from mushroom shawarma and tofu makhani to bowls and desserts, giving it a broader meal role than a juice stop.
The website describes vegan food, but the linked chocolate molten-cake description names honey tuille without explaining its ingredients. Strict vegan diners should clarify whether that topping is plant-based before ordering the dessert.

Indian vegetarian meals and thali
-
MyGovindas Dubai
Indian vegetarian dining with Sattvic and Jain options
MyGovinda’s serves Indian vegetarian food across Karama, JLT, Arjan and Dubai Silicon Oasis. Its menu spans North and South Indian dishes, Indian-Chinese choices and sweets; published examples include dosas, paneer dishes and Hakka noodles.
The operator describes Sattvic cooking without onion or garlic, and separately offers Jain and vegan dishes. A vegetarian dish can still contain dairy, so request the particular preparation you need at the chosen branch.

-
Rasoi Ghar Restaurant Karama
A daily-changing regional vegetarian thali
Rasoi Ghar’s Karama menu is an unlimited vegetarian thali built around starters, mains and desserts, drawing on Rajasthani, Gujarati and Kathiyawadi cooking. The operator gives examples such as dhokla or kachori followed by dal, sabzi, kadhi, rotis and rice; the selection changes daily.
Published examples include chaas, kesar milk and dairy-based sweets, so the standard thali should not be assumed vegan. The operator lists lunch and dinner separately; use the day’s menu and dine-in price when planning a visit.
-
Maharaja Bhog Dubai
Gujarati and Rajasthani vegetarian thali
Maharaja Bhog focuses on Gujarati and Rajasthani vegetarian thali, with a changing daily menu and an unlimited-meal format. Its Dubai location page lists Karama and Al Barsha as separate outlets.
Karama is in Hamsah Mall; Al Barsha is at A.B Center. Select the branch and day’s meal before comparing the price or arranging a group. Vegan diners should ask about ghee, dairy and desserts rather than relying on the vegetarian label.

Kamat Dubai
A broad vegetarian menu for different tastes
Kamat is a pure vegetarian restaurant brand with North Indian, South Indian, Chinese and chaat choices. That breadth makes it useful for a party that wants different styles of vegetarian food.
Its FAQ also confirms vegan-friendly dishes and Jain options. Those are choices within the menu, not a promise that every dish is vegan or prepared the same way. Select the actual Dubai outlet before arranging a table, takeaway or delivery.

Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant Karama
A South Indian vegetarian meal in Karama
Sangeetha’s operator names Karama among its Dubai restaurants. The brand began with South Indian cooking and also describes North Indian dishes; Karama is the South Indian vegetarian selection in this shortlist.
The operator pages establish the Karama presence but do not provide its current street address or dine-in timetable. Obtain those branch details before travelling. The website’s general ordering link was not verified for this Dubai outlet.

Comptoir 102 — mixed-menu alternative
Comptoir 102 belongs in the mixed-menu alternatives group. Its linked menu includes The Good Pizza with roasted vegetables and vegan cheese, a Vegan Peking Duck Wrap made with oyster mushrooms, and vegetarian café dishes alongside tuna, salmon and chicken.
It can suit a party choosing different diets, but it is not a wholly vegetarian restaurant. Dairy and eggs also appear in several dishes. Select the actual meal from the menu rather than treating plant-forward branding as a guarantee about every item.

Choose a dining format before choosing a dish
For a planned tasting-menu evening, choose between Avatara’s 12-course and 17-course experiences and arrange any requested dietary menu when reserving. For a changing Indian thali, compare Rasoi Ghar’s Karama service with Maharaja Bhog’s Karama or Al Barsha outlet. Kamat and MyGovinda’s suit a party wanting several Indian menu styles.
For a café meal, choose SEVA Table’s garden in Jumeirah, Wild & The Moon in Al Quoz or Downtown, or Planet Terra in The Greens. If your party needs a wholly vegetarian restaurant, keep Comptoir 102’s mixed menu separate. Discuss allergies and preparation needs with the restaurant; a dietary label does not establish kitchen handling for an individual diner.
