Visited Evergreen Restaurant (Electra Branch) recently and tried the dosa and onion ottappam,which was crisp and light, while the onion ottappam had a good flavor. Service was quick, and the staff were polite. Overall, a good place for a simple meal in the Electra area.

We ordered Normal Thali, Shev puri, Pav Bhaji,Dosa and Gulab Jamun. The food was lip smacking and yummy. We couldn’t stop eating and at till our neck. Service was prompt and soft spoken. It is crowded but because it’s budget eatery this is expected.

Its a small eatery that specializes in serving Indian vegetarian thaali. The food is simple, tasty made in less oil and spices. If you are an Indian desi vegetarian, this place is a must try.

Tried the mix chaat and samosa chaat—both were good and reasonably priced. The taste was satisfying. Parking can be a challenge, otherwise a nice place for a quick snack.

It's a very good vegetarian restaurant. Looks like a small local cafeteria from outside but enough tables inside. Food is very tasty. Service also good. Ambience is very simple with normal furnishing.

Came back here 3 times during my 4-day trip to Abu Dhabi. It's honestly such an amazing place! The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD and the waiters are so friendly. At night, they serve thali and they keep refilling your plate as you progress. In the morning I ordered à la carte and it was wonderful too. If the shabby atmosphere doesn't bother you, please go here!

Who would have thought that I can get kathiyavadi food in the heart of Abudhabi? This little restaurant serves amazing aaloo Puri, aaloo paratha, method na thepla, sambharo and dahi for breakfast, thalis for lunch and undhiyu and ringan nu badhthu for dinner. These are my few favourites but I am sure that they offer more than these. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.
