Vasanta Bhavan

«Vasanta Bhavan» in Dubai is pure, no-compromise Tamil vegetarian cuisine. The place has been operating since 1969 and specializes in traditional South Indian dishes: crispy dosas, soft idlis, vada with sambar and a variety of chutneys. Rice and vegetables form the base of the menu, and the spices are chosen so the food comes out flavorful and mildly spicy, while still being filling and wholesome. The restaurant is located next to the ibis hotel in Al Barsha, in the Deyaar Building. The average check is 50 dirhams, so you can try the classics of Tamil cuisine without spending much. Besides Dubai, the chain also has branches in Colombo and New Jersey, but it's here that they keep the same approach to cooking as half a century ago — fresh ingredients, attention to hygiene, and simple recipes tested by time. The staff are trained to work quickly and attentively: the waiters try to keep each guest's needs in focus, without making them wait long for their order. For those looking for the real taste of South Indian home cooking in a familiar fast-food setting, this is a fitting choice.
