Why it matters
Why Kamat Restaurant (King Faisal Street) is worth your time
King Faisal Street and Abu Shagara are close to the main shopping streets, so a vegetarian-only restaurant here fits neatly into a day around the Central Souk and the old city. Families who avoid meat do not need to scan for it on the menu.
The breadth matters as well. A menu that mixes South Indian, North Indian and sweets lets a group with different tastes eat together, which is often harder in smaller specialist places. We tag it only as Indian because the sources say fully vegetarian, not whether egg is excluded.

How to experience it
Kamat is described by TravelTriangle as a fully vegetarian restaurant with around 360 preparations, spanning South and North Indian cooking. That range is the reason to come: a mixed group can each find something familiar without leaving the vegetarian menu. The same article singles out palak dosa, jini dosa, aamras poori and a cocktail samosa.
With a menu this long, ask the server for the day's popular dishes rather than reading every page. Older relatives who want mild food can start with a plain dosa or a poori with a dry vegetable; ask about spice level when you order. The Yellow Pages directory also lists Kamat among Sharjah's vegetarian restaurants on King Faisal Street.
Aamras poori suggests the kitchen cooks seasonally, so check whether it is on offer on the day you visit. Hours and menus change, so confirm opening times with the restaurant before you travel.
