The short answer
Bikanervala (Al Wahda Street): what visitors should know first
Reasonable for chaat, sweets and a quick Indian meal, but we found no page confirming a fully vegetarian menu, so ask before you order if that matters. Check the split opening hours before you head out.

Why it matters
Why Bikanervala (Al Wahda Street) is worth your time
Sweets and chaat are a large part of how many Indian families eat on holiday, and a recognisable Indian name on Al Wahda Street makes the first evening in Sharjah simple. For older travellers who are tired after a flight, a familiar menu is often more welcome than a new cuisine.
The caveat is worth saying plainly: a chain's name is not evidence of a vegetarian kitchen in the UAE. Treat this as an Indian restaurant that vegetarians can probably eat at, and confirm the details yourself before you order.

How to experience it
The guide we opened places this Bikanervala on Al Wahda Street near Jamal Abdul Nasser Road and lists North and South Indian food, Indian sweets and chaat. Those are the three things worth ordering: a chaat or two to start, something from the main menu, and sweets to close the meal or take back to the hotel.
The guide does not say whether the menu is entirely vegetarian, and we did not open the chain's own site successfully. Vegetarians should ask the staff before ordering, and anyone following Jain rules should ask dish by dish, since we found no statement that Jain preparation is offered.
As it sits on a main road, use a taxi and ask the driver to stop at the entrance. Because the listed hours include a mid-day break, plan a late lunch rather than an early one, and verify the timing on the day.
