The short answer
Apni Rasoi: what visitors should know first
Worth considering for a mixed-preference family because it offers North and South Indian dishes plus a buffet. The guide mentions Jain options, but the restaurant's own statement was not seen, so ask the kitchen before relying on it.

Why it matters
Why Apni Rasoi is worth your time
Indian families travel in mixed groups, with one relative wanting South Indian food and another North Indian, and a restaurant that covers both removes much of the planning. The mention of Jain options is useful for those who follow the diet and have limited choices in Sharjah.
It is not the verified Jain kitchen that MyGovindas is, so it is not tagged, but it is a lead worth a phone call.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
This is the one to try when a group cannot agree: the guide lists North Indian, South Indian and Indo-Chinese fast food, and a buffet. A buffet lets each person pick plain or spicy dishes without a long order.
The guide also mentions Jain options. Treat that as a lead rather than a promise, because it comes from a roundup and not from the restaurant. Ask which dishes are made without onion, garlic and root vegetables, and whether they are cooked in separate vessels.
With opening hours from early morning to midnight, it can serve breakfast or a late dinner after the Al Qasba evening crowds. Confirm the building location with staff, as Burj Al Falak is the stated address.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
