Al Ghaar Restaurant

A humble and very loving couple have started this small, superb restaurant. They ensure strict quality control and their food is absolutely marvelous. Their staff are folks from traditional, remote Indian villages who have maintained Indias heritage. I highly recommend this restaurant for all food lovers. You can see the hygiene standards they maintain by the picture I’ve uploaded.

Al Ghaar Restaurant truly serves authentic Karnataka-style food, and it’s the best I’ve had in Dubai so far! The taste is amazing, full of traditional flavors, and feels very close to home. Service is quick, and the food is served hot, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Karnataka-style cuisine. Thank you❤️

As the name suggests, Ghar Ka Swaad truly feels like home-cooked food. We were impressed right from the warm welcome, to the service, hygiene, and of course, the delicious food. One of the finest places for authentic Karnataka cuisine at very reasonable prices. Only wish we had found this place sooner!

Al Ghaar truly lives up to its name, it genuinely feels like home-cooked food made with care and authenticity. From the warm hospitality and excellent service to the cleanliness and hygiene, everything was impressive. The food was absolutely delicious, especially for anyone looking for authentic Maharashtrian cuisine at very reasonable prices. Every dish had that comforting homemade taste which is hard to find nowadays. Breakfast and lunch both were amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. One of the finest hidden gems for Maharashtrian food. The only regret is not discovering this place sooner. Highly recommended! 😊

Overall excellent food , traditional Karnataka cuisine and pure veg … Their Mysore bun is of next level.. Their moto is to satisfy all customers and treats everyone with same attention and respect 🫡. One of the oldest places of Sharjah …

Best Automatic Karnataka food, we went 1st time and we loved it. All Karnataka authentic dishes available here. We tried Bun, special meal, etc and taste was very good. Service was also very good. Must visit place if you like Karnataka authentic food.

If you love south Indian food these is the best place! And also a must try place for karnataka people! Food is very tasty , authentic... Especially buns were so good! Would like to visit soon!

We went there as 4 families and ordered best of the north karnataka food. It was not our first time and the food was great as usual and the service was excellent too. If you are from north karnataka this is a must visit place for the food cravings....4 to 5 types of rotti and holige is mouth watering. We enjoyed the nice evening had some laughs and will definitely come back more often.

I would be happy to write a review of a Karnataka themed restaurant Al GHAAR based on the quality of food and satisfaction I experienced during my lunch there. As a frequent time visitor, I was excited to try out this restaurant in Karnataka, known for its delicious vegetarian food. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere, with simple decor and comfortable seating. The staff were courteous and attentive, which made me feel welcomed and appreciated. Now, onto the food. I started with some appetizers, Onion Bhaji (Onion fretters). The fretters were perfectly spiced and fried and yet very light on the stomach. The chutneys served with them were also a great complement to the dish. For the main course, We tried the signature dish of the restaurant Thalipeeth, roti made of Rice, Ragi and Jawar millets. The roti were served hot and the aroma alone was enough to get my taste buds excited. The dish was accompanied by dry peanut chutney, green chutney, yogurt and moong dal. The flavors of the dish were simply incredible, and I could taste the skill and expertise that went into preparing it. The complementary lightly spiced butter milk which is a traditional part of the south Indian meals added to the flavor and balanced the taste. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable vegetarian dining experience in Al Nahda Sharjah, near to Ansar Mall.

Super Thindi Guru. It's got that Bengaluru Authentic Hotel vibes. The staff , the place and the settings were all nice. Their Dosas were a class apart and so was their varieties of roti's (specially all millets) It does get crowded but considering the food it's worth the wait. Parking slots are available nearby making it easy. Their punch line is "Ghar Ka Swaad - ನೀವಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮೂರು" and it is actually experienced. Thank You for all your extraordinary efforts🙏

Taste of Home at Al-Ghaar Restaurant Craving a taste of authentic North Karnataka cuisine? Look no further than Al-Ghaar Restaurant! I've been a loyal patron for years, and their commitment to quality and tradition never disappoints. Al-Ghaar offers a true home-cooked experience. Their recent thali was a delightful journey. The inclusion of Jawar (Millet) Roti was a healthy and flavorful touch. Each curry, from the vibrant sprout curry to the smoky brinjal, was bursting with flavor. Fresh raita and salads perfectly complemented the bold flavors. A special mention goes to the welcome buttermilk – a delightful concoction spiced with ginger and chili, a perfect way to awaken the taste buds. The rasam and rice were simply divine – perfectly balanced and cooked to perfection. It seems they've mastered the art of spice levels over the years, offering a depth of flavor without overwhelming the palate. To finish the incredible meal, we indulged in Holege, a delectable flatbread made with wheat, jaggrey and pulses. Each bite was a testament to the high-quality ingredients and culinary expertise. Al-Ghaar Restaurant isn't just a meal; it's a warm and inviting experience that transports you straight to North Karnataka. The consistent quality and commitment to authentic flavors keep me coming back for more. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a taste of regional Indian cuisine.

So visited this place after reading many positive reviews. Basically i was looking to have a veg thali, which brought me and my wife to this restaurant for dinner. After reaching this restaurant, the person who attended us told us which all sabzi( Curry) will be there in Thalis however what i was looking was for a north Indian Thali which should have paneer, daal. So when we were been told those are not available in Thali we got bit disappointed but then since we were hungry, asked what all other food is available. The person told us what all are available and we decided to order Masala Dosa, Puri Sabzi and Tea. To be surprised all these food when came it was yummy. Masala Dosa - Typical Karnataka Style Masala Dosa very crispy and full of ghee. It was yummy, the stuffing masala aloo was also good, had good amount of spice which made the masala Dosa perfect. Then comes the sambar and Green chatni, Green Chatni was the highlight it was damn good. Sambar also was good, different from Karnataka style, normally in Bangalore sambar is always sweet, but this one was very much different not sweet, not much spicy but different, even not like kerala or Madrass style, but it was good. My Rating for Masala Dosa 5/5 Do give a try if u visit this restaurant. 2. Then we tried Puri Sabzi. 3 medium size puri with same green chatni, alooo ki sabzi and with small brown beans curry. In mayalalam we can relate to payar curry, in this brown bean curry was the highlight, yum it was , we asked to refill it they did without charging extra. Ratings 5/5 Price 5/5 very much affordable. Over all we ordered 1 Masala dosa, 1 plate puri sabzi and 1 plane Dosai and 2 tea and total bill 35 aed. Tea : 3/5 Over all ratings for this restaurant i would rate 4/5. Services was fast and professional. The person who was taking order was professional and behaviour was really good. Surely would recommend people from south to try this restaurant which is located close to Night and Night hypermarket al nahda Sharjah. Latest on 15th Jan tried their thattu idli and vada. Thattu Idli : Rating 4/5 Taste was good, It was soft and size was also medium big. Price I felt may b bit high approx 13 aed for 2 Idli. VADA : Rating 4/5 Taste was good it was hot and crispy very well made. I would have loved to give 5 star but again for 2 Wada AED 12 or 13 aed approx i felt bit high.

If you want to enjoy authentic karnataka home style food , please visit this place. Awesome food and short of words to express the content I had after eating here. Guess won’t miss home town anymore 😊. Neema the restaurant owner has done a commendable job to first have it here in UAE and second to maintain such quality. Well done Neema ! Highly recommend to visit and rest your culinary taste would drive 😎. Had Ragi roti , akki roti , thali with jolada roti , majjige and mangalore buns.

Its a must visit place for Rotti khanavali lovers. Enjoy the home food with lovely staffs and relish your taste buds!! Added on —> 20Jan2024 Missing sister’s home cooked food? Head to Al Ghar…. You will be delighted with yummy, healthy & nutritious food & the family warmth❤️ Enjoyed Avarekalu uppittu, thatte idly & chaa… thank you Team Al Ghar for your awesomeness!! Added on 4DEC2025 This place never stops mesmerizing me. Tried chaa & michi bajji, just awesome!!🙌

The warm atmosphere in the resturant was welcoming. We went with the recomendation of the server and the enjoyed the food. Specially hot and spicy mirchi bajji and the soft jola rotti were amazing.

Exceptional food and Excellent service.. one place i felt i cud have had a bigger stomach. We come from Ajman very often only tonhave food from here.. the taste itself shows the authentic items used.. kudos to the team.

With your eyes closed hope your tongue often plays the game: pehchan kaun...... and loves to differentiate between pure ghee & pure cow ghee; masala dosa & Mysore masala dosa; Anjeneyar vadai & Maddur vadai; coffee robusta & coffee arabica and so on. However if you are nodding your head in disagreement then you sure have more important things than I do and sincerely request you to stop reading any further! Now that only foodies like me are here, let's me share my opinion about Al Ghaar! Location wise suits both Dubai & Sharjah residents. Also a decent drive from near by Emirates. There is ample parking both free and paid. The first thing I noticed is a big genuine smile on the face of all staff making it obvious that they are not working for money but for their passion. The aroma of freshly ground masalas will be a treat to your nostrils. A small, decent, neat and clean restaurant with see through kitchen with no refrigerator will only take your appetite one notch up! Typically here you will find special cuisines of North Karnataka and Maharashtra with some tinge of Andhra & Telangana. Speacial Thali is a must try during lunch n dinner. Mirchi bajji is the starter followed by 4 to 6 varieties of rotis, 3 different curries, sambar, rasam, mixed salad, chutney, peanut podi with curd, preserves, special rice, butter milk and in desert obbatu/puran poli with special cow ghee. Jowar roti with baigan ki sabzi is the catch. Akki roti with dilli leaves will enhance your taste buds. Methi roti (almost tastes like thepla but with less oil) and ragi roti are easy on stomach. Bazre ki roti will remind you of bazro no rotlo with ghee godd. However, here it is eaten with tangy n spicy veggies. Mirchi bajji is just aptly spicy, butter milk is simple but tasty, different rice preparations every day will make you eat here often. Last comes obbattu/holige/puran poli with dollops of special tuppa (ghee) Dal & coconut holiges are a must try. Peanut and sweet potato holiges are also heavenly treat. Almost all the main course items are unlimited. You will be surprised that you have such good appetite as by then you would have had at least 3 to 4 rotis, few extra serves of baigan curry(these are repeated in every meal) and tonnes of butter milk. All these are so meticulously prepared that they are tasty yet very easy on us. In some restaurants with unlimited thali i find the waiter inconspicuous after 2nd or 3rd round of helping but here that motherly treatment was given to me even on the seventh visit to Al Ghaar! For the first time, the salad in your plate will have inferiority complex looking at the other sattvik delicacies in your plate. The only thing that you may miss is the beeda(paan) which of course is not allowed in the UAE. However after the heavenly treat you may not remember paan as by now all your sensing organs may be thanking you again and again! They have Aa la carte too. For breakfast n dinner they have many varieties to choose from but ye kahani phir kabhi. Are you still reading? Hats off! Had I been you, I would have driven half way to Al Ghaar by now with full volume of the Vengaboys distorted song. I am going to Al Ghaar. Gonna have a party.......

Super Oota Guru. It's got that Bengaluru Authentic Hotel vibes. The staff , the place and the settings were all nice. Ragi Mudde was a class apart and so was the akki roti's. It does get crowded but considering the food it's worth the wait. Parking slots are available nearby making it easy.

Authentic north karnataka style food. Jowar roti, olege, badnekai palle, mirchi bajji, it tastes heaven.. service is unimaginable, sit with your loved once in al ghaar and enjoy kannada music and fill your stomach. Complimentary butter milk is topping.

Al Ghaar is a humble vegetarian restaurant sandwiched between sharjah and dubai. If you miss homely Indian food. This is the place to go. If you yearn for 'garam, garam ghar ka khana' (hot hot home cooked food!), then this is the place to be. Jowar roti, Aki roti, Ragi roti Holige/puranpoli and many more traditional delicacies are their specialities. Make sure you go early the place is small so it could get quite crowded.
