) 5 If you love south Indian food these is the best place! And also a must try place for karnataka people! Food is very tasty , authentic... Especially buns were so good! Would like to visit soon!
5 As the name suggests, Ghar Ka Swaad truly feels like home-cooked food. We were impressed right from the warm welcome, to the service, hygiene, and of course, the delicious food. One of the finest places for authentic Karnataka cuisine at very reasonable prices. Only wish we had found this place sooner!
5 Best Automatic Karnataka food, we went 1st time and we loved it. All Karnataka authentic dishes available here. We tried Bun, special meal, etc and taste was very good. Service was also very good. Must visit place if you like Karnataka authentic food.
5 Al Ghaar is a humble vegetarian restaurant sandwiched between sharjah and dubai. If you miss homely Indian food. This is the place to go. If you yearn for 'garam, garam ghar ka khana' (hot hot home cooked food!), then this is the place to be. Jowar roti, Aki roti, Ragi roti Holige/puranpoli and many more traditional delicacies are their specialities. Make sure you go early the place is small so it could get quite crowded.
5 Al Ghaar Restaurant truly serves authentic Karnataka-style food, and it’s the best I’ve had in Dubai so far! The taste is amazing, full of traditional flavors, and feels very close to home. Service is quick, and the food is served hot, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Karnataka-style cuisine. Thank you
5 Super Thindi Guru. It's got that Bengaluru Authentic Hotel vibes. The staff , the place and the settings were all nice. Their Dosas were a class apart and so was their varieties of roti's (specially all millets) It does get crowded but considering the food it's worth the wait. Parking slots are available nearby making it easy. Their punch line is "Ghar Ka Swaad - ನೀವಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮೂರು" and it is actually experienced. Thank You for all your extraordinary efforts
4 Overall excellent food , traditional Karnataka cuisine and pure veg … Their Mysore bun is of next level.. Their moto is to satisfy all customers and treats everyone with same attention and respect . One of the oldest places of Sharjah …
5 A humble and very loving couple have started this small, superb restaurant. They ensure strict quality control and their food is absolutely marvelous. Their staff are folks from traditional, remote Indian villages who have maintained Indias heritage. I highly recommend this restaurant for all food lovers. You can see the hygiene standards they maintain by the picture I’ve uploaded.
