Why it matters
Why Sangeetha Vegetarian Restaurant, Al Zahiyah is worth your time
South Indian vegetarian restaurants are the backbone of Indian dining in Abu Dhabi, and Sangeetha is a familiar name for Tamil and Malayali travellers. It gives a normal breakfast at a normal price.
We checked the venue through a vegetarian directory, which lists it as vegetarian with some marked vegan dishes. That is enough to recommend it, but not enough to promise a strict pure-veg or vegan kitchen, so we have not tagged it as such. Ask staff about egg and ghee if it matters to you.
