Never Forget the Old-Timers

Every Bite is a Tasty Bite

Location: Tasty Bites, Meena Bazaar, Dubai, UAE.

Price: 10-30 DHS per person

We always try new restaurants and as foodies we all are the first ones there to try it. But we often forget the restaurants recommended by our parents and relatives who repeatedly visited few place. It was either because the food was extraordinary or most of the times they felt like they were eating at home away from home.

Tasty Bites is a combination of both the above scenarios, it has excellent falafel bullets and acts as one of those homely small compact spaces to eat.

Other Vedgy Options: Fattosh, Hommus and Garlic Bread

A Spoon Can Cut Like a Knife

Panna Cotta

Location: Armani Caffe, Dubai Mall, Dubai, UAE.

Price: 48 DHS

If you are tired of walking in Dubai Mall and want to have a dessert which will make your day? You should walk towards Armani Caffe. I bet this walk will be worth it, it has some of the best desserts I have eaten. All the desserts are freshly prepared with lots of fruits and food decorations are fantastic

One would wonder as the name “Armani” is attached, the prices would be exhorbitant. But luckily thats not the case, the name Armani only helps in displaying quality and perfection in their food making techniques

All desserts are vegetarian!

Tacos with a Twist

Pesto Tacos

Location: Ottimo, Oud Metha, Dubai, UAE.

Price: 29 DHS

We were about to order a portion of tacos when the server suggested us to try these pesto ones

We heard him and we tasted these beautifully made tacos with the right amount of pesto sauce in the base

It was just going perfectly with the cheese on the top and beans in the middle

All vegetarian place! 

My stomach is never full

Eat till you drop

Location: Absolute Barbecues, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, UAE.

Price: Varies according to the day, 70-100 DHS

If you have been to Barbecue Nation before, you will be familiar with the concept of AB’s. They serve you unlimited starters and have a unlimited buffet for your main course.
The food is of high quality and this is the best place to enjoy a full feast dinner, the unique factor about AB’s is that it offers live chaat and dessert counter which is missing at Barbecue Nation

While the food is free, additional charges are paid to by drinks and thats how AB’s makes their money.

Juicing it a little bit

 
The most refreshing drink 

Location: Al Mallah, Dubai, UAE.

Price: 15 dhs

They don’t serve juices in glasses, they serve them in mugs. My personal favourite is the watermelon juice, its freshly squeezed and goes really well with all the vegetarian food out there.

It can be one of your late night meal choices and also a take away option.

Other Vedgy Options: Cheese Garlic Manakeesh, Falafel Sandwich, Fattoush and Cheese Zaatar

Hello? Room service

Bed&Breakfast Pancakes 

Location: Abidos Hotel Apartment, Dubailand, Dubai, UAE.

The best part about these pancakes were that I could watch my TV show, pause it for a while. Call room service and get them delivered to me in less than 10 minutes.

Served hot with Nutella and Honey with choices likes Maple syrup and chocolate sauce, it might be the most affordable pancakes I have eaten in Dubai.

Other Vedgy Options: Virgin Mojito and the Veg Burger

Mushroom Chai

Sometimes prices and food might sound ridiculous, that doesn’t mean we should not try it?

Tresind is one of the most innovative Indian restaurants i have ever been to, they served this tea, which was the highlight of my meal.

They use the concepts of molecular gastronomy which sounds complicated but believe me its delicious.
