My taste buds & my family were cravings vegetarian for dinner. So I grabbed my phone & onto Zomato I was on a hunt to search a veg restaurant. Rated above 4.0 accompanied with great reviews; I found Shri Krishna Bhavan Restaurant.

Located in the heart of Al Karama. RTA parking was also available in front of the restaurant.

Ambience

Talking about ambience & decor; it had a very warm & pleasant ambience & aimed to achieve a minimalistic design but with a statement. 

Ambience

You could easily know what this restaurant is all about & what you can expect. #VibeSaysItAll.

Ambience

Covid 19 protocols & guidelines were strictly followed. The restaurant was exceptionally clean & well sanitized.

    What I ordered?

  • Davanagere Benne Dosa
  • Masala Dosa

  • Andhra Bhojanam Thali
  • South Indian Filter Coffee
  • Kala Jamun
  • Kesari Bath 

Andhra Bhojanam Thali

Talking about Andhra Bhojanam Thali, it was an unlimited thali & this was my first time trying a cuisine native to Andhra Pradesh.

Thali consisted of the following dishes:

  • Cabbage & carrot porreal
  • Mix vegetable
  • Palak dal
  • Andhra sambar
  • Andhra rasam
  • Ghungura chutney
  • Capsicum bhaji
  • Kesari Bath

Andhra Bhojanam Thali #MustTry

Served traditionally in a banana leaf, this little touch added a unique flavour to all the dishes I ate. Indeed native food is best eaten in its own cultural style.

I requested them to replace rice & roti with all puris & boy it was delicious.

Kesari Bath, Andhra sambar & chutney was just so flavorful. I have had South Indian chutney & sambar before but not quite like this one. It was just flavoursome, truly a delight. 

My tastebuds literally experienced the burst of flavours & I truly know they enjoyed every bite 😛

These puris didn't contain soda as most restaurants do add, they were just completely authentic, cooked with love to its utmost perfection. 

Masala Dosa

Masala dosa was tasteful. Crispy yet soft with the served chutneys & sambar. yummmm 😋

Davanagere Benne Dosa    #Highly recommend 100x

Davanagere Benne Dosa, if there was a star of the show it has to be this dish. Hands down 🙌

This dish is literally cooked in butter & coconut; extremely delicious, mouth-watering & top class flavours. This dish was appealing in presentation & truly ambrosial in taste.

Mr Dayanand recommended this dish & guaranteed that we will love it. I absolutely gorged myself at this dish. Softness & flavours literally oozing at every bite & the added chutneys & sambar! Oh lord truly divine.

How can I ever exit the restaurant without trying desserts? 😁

Kesari bath #MustTry

So I ordered, their Kesari bath which was a mouth melting sweet dish freshly made with semolina, dry fruits, sugar & ghee. Best consumed when it's Hot! 

With just the right sweetness. I could also smell & taste saffron from this delicacy. Indeed extremely light on the tastebuds. 

This dessert is perfect for people who don't have a sweet tooth or someone who generally avoids/dislikes sugar. 

I absolutely loved it because the sweetness & tastes were in harmony with my taste & likings. 

Kala Jamun #HighlyRecommend

I tried their Kala Jamun. Deep-fried & perfectly glazed in sugar syrup & garnished with grated dry coconut. Truly delicious & toothsome at every bite. Your sweet tooth would definitely thank you. 

South Indian filter coffee

Finally, I tried their South Indian filter coffee. I absolutely loved it. I dislike sugar in my drinks & prefer strong caffeine drinks (extra dark 😜). And this coffee was just as refreshing & lovely in taste even without sugar. 

If you love your coffee with sugar then you are bound to love this coffee-licious drink 

Served in traditional Indian style steel cups. 

Dubai winters in January & this drink! Cosy isn't it.!! 

Let's talk about their service, Mr Dayanand was serving our table & had provided a great service. Waiting time after ordering food was optimal. Mr Dayanand made sure we understood what each dish meant, comprised of & how it was made so we get a gist of the dish & know what to expect.

The service staff's hospitality was very impressive. Mr Raghavendra & his entire service team ensured that we liked the dish & if there were any discrepancies then they didn't hesitate to change it. Overall an excellent service. Truly the entire staff deserve a bonus for their exquisite hospitality services.

Talking about overall quality & taste it has been exceptionally spectacular.

Serving size is excellent as one ordered dish suffices one person completely. 

The food in the restaurant was gastronomical but fortunately, not gastritis as some restaurants add unwanted soda in their thalis & that makes it very much pocket friendly but definitely not stomach-friendly. So heads up for anyone who can't digest soda in unwanted dishes, definitely do visit this restaurant, your stomach will thank you. Thumbs up for this practice 👍

Talking about price it is very reasonable & not too expensive. The price to quantity ratio is also excellent as well as the taste & quality was literally worth every fils.

If you are on a budget & want to enjoy a pure veg restaurant then definitely try this wallet-friendly restaurant. Let the food do the talking & rest assured you won't be disappointed & will love to go back every time to eat just that one dish. 

Personally, for me, I will always keep coming back for Davanagere Benne Dosa.

Time to pop the question: Would I recommend this restaurant to my fellow foodies?

Yes, positively 100% I would.

RTA parking is a task to find during a busy time or else it's available easily.

Ambience

Speaking off ambience & decor of the restaurants it aimed for a very minimalistic design & achieved it well.

Decor

The restaurant was spacious enough that it met the 2m distance guideline of the covid-19 protocol & it also has outdoor seating available. 

Inside

The restaurant was hygienic, well sanitized & clean restaurant.

Everything Momos

Although they are mostly focused on momos they serve more than just momos. They have an interesting twist to everything momo.

What I ordered?

      • Ferrero Rocher Shakes
      • Apple Pie Momos
      • Choco Brownie Momo
      • Chicken Lollipop
      • Chicken Momos Tandoori
      • Chicken Momos Afghani 
      • Chilli Chicken Schezuan Momo
      • Pan Fried/Kothey Momos Chicken

      Chicken Momos Tandoori #MustTry

      Dynamite Momos #MustTry

      Ferrero Rocher Shake #HighlyRecommend

      I first ordered their Ferrero rocher shake & like the name suggest I knew this wouldn't disappoint me.

      Ferrero Rocher Shake #HighlyRecommend

      That was their new introduction to their drinks line & I must say it was deliciously dulcified. I had to try I just couldn't control myself. 


      Momos

      I tried all of their momos in their menu list they were just luscious in terms of their taste, texture & presentation but if I had to narrow down to choose a winner in the momo category it would be hands down Chilli Chicken Schezuan Momo. 

      Chilli Chicken Schezuan Momos #HighlyRecommend

      Chilli Chicken Schezuan Momo like its name suggests that this dish is bound to be spicy-spicy but instead it is so juicy, moist & flavorful utterly saporific. The schezuan sauce makes it so much delicious. 

      Momos

      Talking about serving size for this: 1 dish is sufficient for 1 person, it is so tasty you won't be able to control yourself or share it.😜 

      Momo sizzler with noodles

      I then tried their Momo sizzler with noodles & they were just too appetizing, to begin with. 

      Momo sizzler with noodles

      The serving size for this dish was excellent as the quantity for this specific combo could suffice 2 people easily. 

      Chicken Lollipops

      Chicken lollipops were just divine; one of the best I ever had, extremely saucy, juicy & moist. Delicious at every bite. The sauce & the meat was literally oozing with freshness.

      Chicken Lollipops #HighlyRecommend


      The Sauce

      Cooked fresh & generously tossed in the schezuan sauce to add its soft texture making it even juicier & above all cooked to its utmost perfection. 

      Apple pie momo & Choco brownie momo

      For desserts, I tried their apple pie momo which was a great way to combine apple pie with momos. 

      Cinnamon & apple complimented the deep-fried momo extremely well. 

      Choco Brownie Momo #HighlyRecommend

      But choco brownie momo; who could've thought about it? It is a great amalgamation of chocolate brownies with a deep-fried momo filling which is then layered with chocolate sauce. Yummm. 😋

      I literally loved it. Crusty on the outside, ooey-gooey on the inside.

      Let's talk about the service. The service was great & the waiting time was optimal. Mr Lokesh was serving our table & it was a pleasant experience overall.

      If you are going to try momos from this dim sum joint make sure to try all their momos from their menu, guaranteed you won't exit the restaurant disappointed. They even serve butter chicken momo!!

      Yalla momo's is a great hangout spot located in the heart of Karama with a decent quantity to price ratio as well as a decent serving size. Once you try their menu, I guarantee, you won't be disappointed & will keep coming back to it like I did for Chicken Lollipops. 

      Time to pop the question: Would I recommend this restaurant to my fellow foodies?

      Yes, 100% I would.

      Rock n roll paratha is a cloud kitchen concept that serves food via zomata delivery with its kitchen located in Bur Dubai. The best part about this restaurant, you don't have to find parking, as they bring 'Your' warm meal to You.

      What I ordered?

        • Avocado juice
        • Mango lasssi
        • Chicken achari roll
        • Mutton keema paratah

        Rock n roll paratah serves a menu with a variety of options to choose from such as a dedicated section for just cheese paratha to veg & non-veg parathas as well as another dedicated section for just veg & non-veg rolls. 

        Chicken Achari Roll

        Chicken achari roll was spicy & tangy just like pickles it's like biting on chicken marinated in Indian mango pickles. Beware it is Spicy-Spicy. I loved it because the juices I ordered calmed down the spiciness factor.

        Chicken Achari Roll

        The wrap had a good amount of chicken & pickles filling that gave it a tangy, sour & perfectly spiced taste which my tastebuds enjoyed thoroughly. 

        Mutton Keema Paratah #MustTry

        Mutton keema paratah was humongous in size as 1 paratah could easily fill 2 people. The mutton filling inside the paratah was fresh, good & juicy. 

        Mutton Keema Paratah 

        Although it was extremely spicy for my taste. Even the yoghurt & juices couldn't calm down the spiciness. But did I enjoy hurting my tongue & taste buds, YES I did!😁

        Mutton Keema Paratah #MustTry

        Both the rolls & paratha were served with side condiments such chutneys, yoghurt & fried papads that were just delicious to munch on. The green mint chutney was absolutely tasty on its own.

        Chicken Achari Roll 

        Delivery Review: Everything was spill-free & packed appropriately to maintain its freshness & quality. Very prompt on-time delivery. Delivered to you before the food becomes cold; so you can enjoy your meal fresh & warm.

        Avocado Juice #HighlyRecommend

        Avocado Juice & Mango Lassi were just absolutely delicious & perfectly sweetened drinks & by far one of the best I had in a very long time. 

        Mango Lassi #HighlyRecommend

        Apart from this, Rock n roll paratah also offer other healthy drinks such as detox & weightloss juice, which are healthier options to enjoy alongside the meals, that you can enjoy at the very comfort of your own home. 

        Delivery review: Drinks were spill-proof as they were individually cling wrapped & then properly placed into a plastic bag to ensure it's not tampered with & not spilt everywhere.

        Chicken Achari Roll

        I tried Rock n roll paratah's best zomato recommended roll, paratha & drinks; & let me tell you I wasn't disappointed. In terms of price, they are affordable & they have an excellent price to quantity ratio. 

        Even their delivery service was excellent as they were on time, unlike other restaurants where despite placing order I would have to call every 10 mins to know how far they reached. From the price point of view, they were quite reasonable & price to quantity ratio was also decent.

        Rock n Roll Paratah

        Another best thing I really loved about this restaurant was their way of making sure that the food they deliver is spill-free but also tampered-free all the while maintaining freshness & warmth. Things like these have become now of utmost importance since the outbreak of covid 19, in order to ensure the safety of foodies & non-foodies like us because obviously, no outbreak can ever stop a foodie from enjoying a scrumptious meal at the comfort of our own home and available at the click of a button. 

        Check out that filling!

        Time to pop the question: Would I recommend my fellow foodies to order via zomato?

        Yes, 100% I would.
