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.

| 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.
