Vegetarian

Dubai Hills

About the restaurant

Dubai’s first and only all-vegetarian degustation fine dining experience. Also caters to vegan and gluten-free diets on request.
The menu is inspired by humble seasonal ingredients, that are pure, clean, natural, and energy-containing. The cuisine uses fresh produce and dairy products from local farms. The restaurant is driven by the culinary maestro, Chef Rahul Rana, who has a rich background in curating vegetarian and patisserie concepts in culinary arts. The menu at AVATARA will showcase a modern avatar of the techniques, philosophy, and story of soulful Indian food. Indian cuisine was originally predominantly vegetarian. However, the perceptions around vegetarian food have been that of limitations. The idea is to break through these perceptions and curate a unique vegetarian fine dining experience.

We are not good critics or food connoisseurs… yday we went as a family to celebrate the bdays of our kids to Avatara. We had heard abt the restaurant and chef Rana , and had recently seen him on tv in a reality show. The chef is a kind humble person and that is seen in the food he serves . The entire team of Avatara were extremely kind and polite . As much as chef Rana s food made us feel special , so did the team ( shubham ) . It was an experience a journey that we will never forget . Chef Rana s food makes you travel around India via the flavours n the ingredients and his magical cuisine … Thank you team Avatara , thank you Chef Rana and bless you

I am so glad I picked this spot to have an intimate family dinner on my birthday. The people were so kind, nice and understanding. The beverages and the food were superb. Every single thing was so flavorful. The hostess and the staff were always smiling and eager to explain things to us. They even had a Happy bday tag on our table even before we sat down and later brought out a cake and a beautiful hand written card for me. Outstanding . Thank you sovery much, Tong Thai.

An unforgettable dining experience! The 11-course tasting menu was full of highlights, but the coconut seabream stood out with its delicate umami flavor and tropical twist. The Cloud Break cocktail was a showstopper on its own, enjoyed every single sip of it. A truly memorable evening. Will be back soon!

We went for a business lunch, i don’t see the value for money. Very small portions compared to other business lunches in Dubai where you even pay less for more food. I would like to thank the manager/supervisor for being professional and making up for the misunderstanding that happened while I was ordering
