Robin Metzler: Best Indian we had on our trip to the Middle East. Great flavours and friendly staff! This is where locals dine 👌 Heads up: it’s cash only, they close around mid-day and most items on the menu aren’t available until the evening. One of such being the Thali.

Jishnu Suresh: I have ordered the normal thali and It’s okay, not too tasty and good but it’s meet the money we pay. The staffs are good and filling the dishes and rottis fastly and I didn’t like the taste of dal curry served and still this covid time they serving on steel plates. Only thing to note prior visitibg to this restaurant is this place is cash only no cards accepted here.
Ritu Rathor: This place feels like Ghar ka khana(homemade food) The service is quick and easy, and the staff is super friendly. The interior gives all kinds of bollywood vibes.

Nabeel Akram: Salam bombay – One of the good Pure vegetarian food chain in Abudhabi. They have multiple inside & outside Abudhabi City. These one is classic space with descent family seating and small outdoor seating. Very welcoming attitude from Staffs. Been here for friend suggestion regarding Chole Bathure. It was good only. Must try chole bhature, looking forward to try other dishes

Ravi Shinde: Salam Bombay is an Indian vegetarian restaurant serving lip smacking street food from Mumbai as well as north Indian food. It also has south Indian items such as Idli, dosa, uttappam, etc. and few chinese varieties. For Breakfast Puri bhaji, chole bhature, Stuffed Paratha are good. For snacks sandwiches, burgers, idli, dosa, vada pav, samosa pav, pav bhaji are good. Their chaat items like Paani puri, sev puri, Dabeli, pakoda, bhel puri, raj kachori and many more items will spoil your taste buds and tempt you to have more. They have very good hot soups. In the main course try their thali. If you want to try something else, try frankie, kebabs, tikkas, biryani, pulao. A must try items are Batata vada, paani puri and pav bhaji. Misal pav is ok but the curry does not exactly match with what we get in Mumbai. They also have Falooda, fresh fruit juices, sweets and desserts to end your meals on a sweet note. The preparation and quality is good. The serving staff is prompt and attentive. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Siva Jack: I had Tomato Adai and Filter Coffee for dinner today at Dine in; I’m a regular customer here, and I usually order from home, and they deliver within 20 minutes. All the foods are very tasty and inexpensive. There are many healthy day-to-day dinner varieties available, such as Adai aviyal, Raagi chappathi / Dosa, Millet Chappathi / Dosa, wheat Dosa, Sweet paniyaaram, and Keera vada, all of which have excellent flavor. My Favourite is Adai Aviyal.

Sri Rangan S: First time I tried ordering the food from this restaurant and the food quality and taste is good for the money you pay. The person who took our order was very polite and explained the required quantity for 3 people, so we don’t waste food. The food is custom made and we wanted it to be spicy and did not realize that they add too many chillies to make it spice. The consistency of the gravy is really good and the taste as well. My advice – If you want spicy pleace be sure and instruct restaurant that not to add chillies but alternative a chilli powder. I loved the food and hope to order it again Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person AED 50–100 Vegetarian options Not too much oil or heart burning spice. It’s made as if you mske food at home.

Wilna Horstmanshof: This place knows everything about vegetarian food. Lovely Naan bread with garlic, a smoking sizzler, best brinjal stew ever and they make spinach taste like seriously improved avocado. I have ordered from them before, we went in person today and every single time I am impressed. The food is spicy, but does not burn your lips off. And it tastes AMAZING.

Riya Samuel: Kamat is a good affordable family restaurant that serves pure vegetarian Indian food. The food here is really soothing and takes us back to our home country. We loved the babycorn mushroom masala – it was mildly spicy and creamy, enjoyed it with some good butter roti (really soft) Veg seekh kebab was also good so was veg Hyderabadi biriyani. Sweet corn soup was lil too sweet, other than that everything was great. Service and ambience is just okay. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person AED 1–50

Vinay Vyas: Excellent taste as expected. Had rava masala dosa, idli-vada sambar chatni, pav baji, american chopsi soup. Pav bhaji was smooth and buttery. American copsy had lot of vegitables and crispy noodles -baked instead of deep fried which made them more healthier. Kamat is a good choice for south Indian item. Next time I shsll try north Indian dishes. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch
