How to experience it
The Curly Tales roundup places Kathhiyawadi Thali Restaurant near BurJuman Mall and says it delivers across Al Karama. It describes an all-vegetarian menu with vegan-friendly options, and names Marwadi teekhi dal, Gujarati meethi dal, kadhi khichdi and Gujarati kadhi.
The contrast between the spicy Marwadi dal and the sweetish Gujarati dal is the draw, and both appear on the same menu. Kadhi khichdi is the gentlest choice for a tired or older traveller. Because the page uses the words all-vegetarian and not pure vegetarian, ask staff about egg, and about onion and garlic for Jain needs.
It is a short walk from the BurJuman area, close to other Karama vegetarian options such as Rasoi Ghar, so you can compare menus on the spot.
