Continue reading to get more details on some top-notch vegetarian restaurants in Dubai.
1. Amala
Amala is an upscale Indian restaurant in Dubai that offers vegetarian-friendly meals. The restaurant even has warm vegan meals!
They have a dedicated vegetarian section on their menu. I love when a restaurant like Amala goes the extra mile to cater to dietary restrictions.
If you’re a fan of samosas, you have to try out Amala’s vegetarian samosas. Even when comparing the dish to non-vegetarian samosas, Amala’s are a top-tier appetizer.
The food at Amala’s is incredible, but it isn’t even their best feature. Amala’s decadent interior makes the restaurant stand out compared to other vegetarian-friendly options in the area.
You don’t have to take my word for the quality of Amala! Amala was awarded the Travelers’ Choice award by Trip Advisor in 2021.
Visit Amala at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, Right Wing of the Lobby, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray. You can also call Amala at +971 4 453 0444 or visit their website for additional information.
2. Sansation
Sansation is a Middle Eastern restaurant located in Dubai that offers a fantastic selection of vegetarian dishes. It also offers loads of delicious non-vegetarian dishes, so you won’t have to pull your non-vegetarian friend’s teeth to get them in the door of Sansation.
I always know I’ll have a solid vegetarian option when I walk into a Middle Eastern restaurant. Falafel is a consistently delicious vegetarian choice in every Middle Eastern restaurant, including Sansation.
The food quality is second only to an outdoor dining area. Thankfully, Sansation has one of my favorite outdoor dining areas in Dubai!
It has a beautiful blue theme to all the decorations, which adds to the restaurant’s ambiance. On top of an attractive blue color scheme, Sansation also has a collection of beautiful fountains and lively plant life scattered about their outdoor seating area.
Stop by Sansation on a sunny day to enjoy their outdoor dining area at Motor City Green Community Motor City. Also, give them a call to reserve a table at +971 4 456 7371.
3. Little Erth by Nabz & G
Little Erth is a trendy little vegetarian-friendly restaurant located ideally in the Jumeirah Lake Towers.
The ambiance at Little Erth was the highlight of my visit. The wooded fairy lights draped across the ceiling were a nice touch. I’ve never seen a restaurant pull off the cozy cafe vibe like Little Erth. Every piece of decor was hand-picked with extreme consideration.
On top of Little Erth’s trendy decor is a modern vegetarian menu. If you’re into clean vegetarian eating, Little Erth is your place.
The highlight dish of my visit to Little Erth has to be their papaya spring rolls. I didn’t know papaya could taste so delicious!
