Dubai’s first and only all-vegetarian degustation fine dining experience. Also caters to vegan and gluten-free diets on request.
The menu is inspired by humble seasonal ingredients, that are pure, clean, natural, and energy-containing. The cuisine uses fresh produce and dairy products from local farms. The restaurant is driven by the culinary maestro, Chef Rahul Rana, who has a rich background in curating vegetarian and patisserie concepts in culinary arts. The menu at AVATARA will showcase a modern avatar of the techniques, philosophy, and story of soulful Indian food. Indian cuisine was originally predominantly vegetarian. However, the perceptions around vegetarian food have been that of limitations. The idea is to break through these perceptions and curate a unique vegetarian fine dining experience.

    Great attention to detail! Visually appealing food presentation- very yummy too!!! Exquisite flavors. 18 courses was a lot for me, but the rest of the family enjoyed it- I could have been ok with 12 courses. The pashmina shawl was a nice touch and kept is cozy and warm during the dinner. 5 stars!!!! Highly recommend.

    Truly amazing. The service, the presentation, and the food were exceptional. A unique experience to have a vegetarian (and they could easily accommodate me as a vegan) Indian dining experience that is elevated and innovative. Flavors you don’t expect but that really capture the essence of the Indian diaspora. Highly highly recommend.

    Great place, lovely ambiance and eclectic food! Think they could do better instead of having one only one option of an 18 quart meal will be great to have an option of a 10 course meal or something like that.

    What an amazing fine dining experience! We were reluctant because of the portion sizes and the ‘creative’ approach to food. But Avatara chefs did not disappoint in the least! Thank you for an amazing experience.

    Most beutifully plated food, eaten first with eyes, and then those carefully crafted dishes left us yearning for more. Each course was a complete meal in itself telling the story of a rasa, tingling different taste buds. An experience must have and one will leave with a hangover for sure. Staff is superbly trained, courteous and knowledgeable about finest details. Thanks for this molecular gastronomy journey.
