Empty your weekend calendar, as a fantastic Indian vegetarian meal awaits you at Delhi Highway Restaurant in Dubai!

One of the well-loved restaurant outlets both back home in India, with several branches, and well-regarded within the Indian expat community in Bur Dubai, Delhi Highway is positioned at the very peak of deliciousness for traditional Indian veg dishes.

The dining hall is spacious and tastefully arranged, with cultural highlights as part of the decor, and the service is stellar in a genuine kindness and hospitality, particularly in helping a non-Indian like me order a perfect selection for a weekend brunch to remember.

Between the weekend buffet brunch, with its many self-serve options as well as live stations, and the a la carte favorites including the Maharaja Thali – which I surely wanted to taste! – the options are excellent at Delhi Highway.

And before anyone thinks that pure vegetarian must restrict the selection somewhat, I can assure you that not only is Delhi Highway at the forefront of a wide variety of delicious vegetarian dishes, but also Indian cuisine is one of the worldwide gastronomical powerhouses as part of their heritage of thousands of years of history in preparing elaborate vegetarian fare – so fear not, you will not miss animal products in the least, and indeed you will benefit from the natural healthy flavors as well as karmically!

Be ready for a weekend feast worthy of royalty!

The starters immediately dance across your palate, and your eyes close in ectasy as waves upon waves of flavors run gleefully amok on your tongue!

Indian foods are simply amazing in their variety and power of taste, and perhaps even more to the uneducated Gora Bhai, the Indophile who appreciates the Indian culinary traditions but doesn’t have the birth right of deep understanding – such as myself.

Imagine attending an Indian classical dance – and if you haven’t, immediately add this to your must-experience bucket list! – the dancers on stage, and the musicians at their side, elaborate costumes, audience holding its breath… every movement, every sound can be compared to taking a bite of a dish at Delhi Highway… each individual detail is already intricate at the source (think of the flavor palette of just one spice ingredient!), and when they are combined in a fluid, masterful dance, you have a performance that tells an epic story far above the simple combination of movements and sounds.

And such is tasting even the humble Pani Puri at Delhi Highway, for instance.

The dancers are the ingredients, and the costumes are the sauces, and the musical notes are the flavors, and in the kitchen are the directors and producers – and the result is a gourmet performance at your table!

The appetizers, I was saying, come in fast and furious – each one complementing but also competing with the others:

“Who is more delicious? Is it me?” asks the Bao Bhaji…

“Wait! Try me! Am I the best..?” exclaims the grilled paneer!

“Try me! Look at how fresh I am!” suggests the Kachi Keri, a green mango-based drink…

And so goes the weekend meal at Delhi Highway, in a crescendo of deliciousness second to none.

Until the majestic Thali pulls rank: “I am the boss around here!”

A meal unto itself, the shining copper thali tray contains all a hungry guest may desire, and more!

From fragrant saffron-infused rice…

…to crispy piping-hot fresh flatbread naan…

… to rich little bowls of magic!

All the way to desserts…

Overall, Delhi Highway Restaurant represents the pinnacle of delicious Indian vegetarian cuisine in UAE – with humble but expert service, you will be transported across a myriad of epicurean delights, on a journey of discovery and also comforting favorite dishes, enjoying a weekend meal as a celebration of the mighty vegetarian heritage of India, in Karama, Bur Dubai.
