The short answer
Planet Terra, The Greens: what visitors should know first
Worth it for vegans staying in the Marina or Media City area, for a relaxed breakfast or lunch. It is a residents' café rather than a sight, so do not cross the city for it unless a fully vegan menu is your priority.

Why it matters
Why Planet Terra, The Greens is worth your time
A city as cosmopolitan as Dubai still has few fully vegan kitchens, and several have come and gone in recent years, as HappyCow's list of closed places shows. Planet Terra has lasted, which is itself a useful signal for a traveller trying to avoid disappointment.
It is also a window on a different Dubai from the one most visitors see. The Greens is where the city's professionals live and have breakfast, without sights or spectacle. If you have a vegan in the family, this is a place where the entire menu is open to them, and where they will not need to quiz the waiter about what has gone into each dish.
Highlights
What not to miss
- 01

- 02
Juices and smoothies
House-made smoothies and cold-pressed juices give a light break on a warm day.
- 03
A residents' neighbourhood
The Greens is a calm contrast to the Marina's towers, a short taxi ride away.

How to experience it
Think of this as somewhere for a good, unhurried vegan breakfast, not as a destination. The menu leans international, with plant-based mains, house-made smoothies, cold-pressed juices and organic coffee, and it has offered vegan desserts too. Choose something simple if you are not used to this style of food.
The Greens is a quiet residential community, so there is nothing else to see on foot. Pair it with a Marina walk or a beach afternoon, both a short taxi ride away. If you plan to come specifically from Deira or Bur Dubai, the distance makes the trip hard to justify.
Jain diners should be careful, as this is a general plant-based kitchen and nothing we found says it avoids onion, garlic or root vegetables. Check the current menu and hours first, since the HappyCow listing was last updated in 2024, although a diner reviewed it as recently as February 2026.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Go to The Greens branch, not the possibly closed second one
- Confirm opening hours before you travel
- Ask about onion and garlic if you are Jain
- Do not cross town just for this; pair it with Marina

- Panorama Building, Street 6, The Greens

- About 1 hour
- Best time
- Breakfast or lunch; listed hours run from early morning to late evening, so confirm
- Walking level
- Easy
- Senior comfort
- A ground-floor café in a low-rise residential community, calmer than the Marina towers nearby. Taxis can get close, which keeps walking down to a few steps. Noise is mostly that of a neighbourhood café, and seating is ordinary café tables.
- Tickets and access
- Walk-ins are usually fine. Use the branch in The Greens: a second branch at a Trade Centre hotel has been tagged 'maybe closed' on HappyCow, so check before going there.
