Vegetarian Food in Dubai

Going to places of interest is a fun-filled adventure that does involve amusement, but sometimes it can become a burden also when it comes to food; especially if the traveller is a hardcore vegetarian or vegan.

Many times business trips or holidays lead an individual to take up a tour to a distant country. Just imagine what will happen to such a person if he/she lands up in a highly sophisticated tourist city like Dubai, popularly known for its hospitality, where the Arabian food available is mostly non-vegetarian.

Given this backdrop, here is an attempt and just a guideline to help all the green-stuff lovers like me who can plan well in advance and accordingly do their bookings in a hotel for accommodation to avoid the end moment hunt for food of their choice.

There are some really good vegetarian outlets in Dubai, but most of them have been opened by Indians and that's why chances are that you might end up over eateries where they serve Indian cuisines only. Also, the number of such special restaurants isn't much but around 50-60 good vegetarians restaurants are there in Dubai that definitely cater to the needs of veggies. Especially the Bur Dubai area i.e. the old Dubai is a nice hub for vegetarian food where one can find pleasant and a variety of cuisine mostly due to the large number of the subcontinent population who keeps visiting the land of beaches.

Moreover, Dubai has a large number of cafes that do serve great vegetarian food, say e.g. The Lime Tree Café, THE One and Celebrities where one can relish fine dining over a completely separate vegetarian menu. High-class organic vegetarian food is also available in Magnolia, a restaurant in Madinat Jumeirah.

With the below mentioned vegetarian restaurants in Dubai where you get cheap (inexpensive) food you can actually go green:

Dubai is one of the food-focused destinations. There is a number of restaurants where you can find delicious food and many of them provide food delivery service at your doorstep.

It's a way to go to all the vegetarians travelling to Dubai. As there will be no shortage of vegan food in the Gulf country.
