Why it matters
Why Chaat Bazaar, Karama is worth your time
Karama is where many Indian visitors find familiar food. This listing gives a snack-style option rather than a full meal, useful between sights or when appetites are small.
One guide names it, so treat it as a lead to confirm. Dubai's Indian food scene is large, and Karama is one of its best-known neighbourhoods for it. A chaat stop works well for older travellers because the portions are small and the dishes are light. It is a quick, cheap break between sights rather than a destination meal, and the opened guide gives only the building and one dish.

How to experience it
World of Mouth lists Chaat Bazaar in Karama, in the Mabrooka Building, serving Indian street-food chaat including pani puri. No prices or hours are given.
Chaat is usually meat-free, but this guide does not state that the whole menu is vegetarian, so confirm with staff, especially for Jain needs.
Karama is easy to pair with other Indian eateries nearby. Check the building on a map before you set out.
Share a few plates between the family and ask the staff which fillings and sauces contain no meat, onion or garlic if that matters. Eat pani puri quickly after it is served, because the crisp shells soften and tend to fall apart. Carry cash in case cards are not accepted, and confirm opening times, which the guide does not give.
