Why it matters
Why Shree Khodiyar Kathiyawadi Dhaba, Al Khaleej Street is worth your time
Kathiyawad, in Saurashtra, has a distinctive style of cooking built on millet breads, spicy gravies and ghee, and it is not easy to find outside Gujarat. A dhaba serving it in Bur Dubai gives travellers from the region a familiar meal.
The single roundup source is the basis here, so check the current menu. The garlic in the dishes listed is worth stating clearly for families who avoid it, because the cuisine is known for strong flavour.

How to experience it
The Curly Tales roundup describes Shree Khodiyar Kathiyawadi Dhaba as rustic, with bold flavours. Dishes it names are bajra rotlo with ghee, Gujarati dal rice, sev tameta, stuffed brinjal, garlic potato, cold curd tikhari and methi thepla.
Kathiyawadi food is garlic-forward, and the roundup lists garlic potato, so this is not a no-garlic kitchen. Jain and no-garlic travellers should look elsewhere or ask very clearly. For others, the curd tikhari is a cooling choice with the spicier dishes, and bajra rotlo with ghee is the dish to start with.
Al Khaleej Street is on the Bur Dubai side. Take a taxi and give the full restaurant name, because other restaurants in Dubai share similar Gujarati names.
