The short answer
Ushna (Al Majaz Waterfront): what visitors should know first
Good for a sit-down North Indian dinner by the water when the group includes meat eaters and vegetarians. It is a mixed menu, so vegetarians should order from the vegetarian dishes and ask about preparation.

Why it matters
Why Ushna (Al Majaz Waterfront) is worth your time
Mixed families are common among Indian travellers, and a restaurant that handles both vegetarian and non-vegetarian North Indian food at one table solves a real planning problem. Dining at the waterfront also gives a break from the traffic of central Sharjah.
Since it is a mixed kitchen we leave it without a strict diet tag. Vegetarians should ask about shared grills and cooking oil, and Jain visitors should assume it is not suitable unless the kitchen says otherwise.

How to experience it
SBNRI lists Ushna as North Indian, with dahi puri, pani puri and karare palak ki chaat among the starters, and subz seekh kebab and tandoori malai gobhi as the vegetarian grills. It also lists meat and fish dishes such as murgh basil tikka and fish madras curry, so this is a mixed kitchen, not a vegetarian one.
Vegetarians should order from the chaat and tandoor vegetable section, and ask whether the grill is shared with meat. Tandoori malai gobhi is a soft, mild dish that suits older diners.
The waterfront setting makes it a better evening plan than a midday one. Walk along the promenade before or after dinner. Hours and menus change, so confirm opening times with the restaurant before you travel.
