Avatara Restaurant

Dining at Avatara is nothing short of extraordinary. As Dubai’s first Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant, Avatara redefines plant-based fine dining with elegance, creativity, and soul. Every course feels like a carefully composed story, rooted in Indian tradition yet presented with modern artistry. The tasting menu is a journey—each dish bursting with layered flavors, impeccable balance, and thoughtful presentation. It’s hard to believe there is no meat on the menu when the depth, richness, and complexity of flavors rival (and often surpass) any fine-dining experience in the city. The service is warm, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable, with staff taking the time to explain the inspiration behind each dish and ingredient. The ambiance is serene and refined, allowing the food to truly take center stage. Avatara isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience that celebrates sustainability, innovation, and the beauty of vegetarian cuisine. A must-visit for food lovers like us and our family. Truly deserving of every bit of its Michelin recognition. 🌿✨

Amazing service and incredible Experience! First time visiting Dubai and I couldn't wait to try this highly rated Michelin starred vegetarian restaurant. Wasn't feeling well so I had to cancel same day we were scheduled, but I was not leaving Dubai without trying again. Still not 100% but scheduled again before heading back home. I was only able to try 12 of the dishes, but they were so delicious. I was sad not to be able to finish. My husband who is not vegetarian loved every dish and had a hard time finishing. He eats a lot so for him to be really full! If we ever visit Dubai again, we will definitely come back. Thanks for making our anniversary special!

What an amazing experience. The service was immaculate, the food was perfection. The tasting menu was exactly the perfect amount of small portions. I didn’t get uncomfortably full like you do in many of the Michelin star restaurants. I very much enjoyed the way the food was presented, so creative. For me, there were many standouts like Truffle, Aubergine, Banana… Surprisingly, no dishes I didn’t enjoy. There were a few changes made to accommodate my gluten sensitivity. And in very short notice, I should add. What I loved especially, was the fact that they noticed that I am left handed. Without saying anything they just positioned my spoon on the left side every time it was needed. Small details, great impact. I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant.

If you are vegan, this will probably be one of the best vegan meals you will ever have. If you are a meat eater too. Avatara has one michelin star - the first for an indian vegetarian restaurant - but I guarantee it will blow your mind and your expectations. The meal consists of 17 dishes beautiful and delicious. There is a little illustrated booklet that explains the main ingredients of each course. I had the vegetarian menu, my partner the vegan one (and the chef told us he can do gluten free as well). The set up was theater style we were facing the chefs - which was fitting to the whole experience. Wine parings per glass worked well. Also the non alcoholic options for my partner. We asked to pause the service twice since we needed time to digest all that was happening ;-) You won’t go hungry. And then the most unexpected happened: at the end of the savoury dishes, we were asked if we wanted to repeat any of the previous dishes, our favourites. My partner took on the offer which was really appreciated. This is unique and very generous. The deserts were incredible and not to spoil the whole experience, I post only one picture of the whole dinner. The staff were all wonderful and friendly providing and an amazing service. Thank you so much to the whole team it was an unforgettable meal. Unmissable if you go to Dubai. (we are still flying back home and we look forward to open the send off bag ;-)

Absolutely lovely experience. The ambience, presentation was stunning and on point. The staff was very kind, polite and available. They took care of the allergies mentioned with utmost care. It was a completely vegetarian 17 courses meal. The food pretty to look and delicious on the tastebuds. Would definitely recommend this experience

This is Michelin star restaurant and it stood up to the expectations. Food was awesome and innovation was oozing out from every plate. Excellent service and a superb blend of Indian and continental/ Asian cuisine. Must go and have the culinary experience

Located by Dubai hills business park. Michelin star restaurant with veg only tasting menu. It’s a 17 course menu but before the desserts you are asked if you would like to repay any of the savoury served before making it an 18 course menu. It’s the attention to detail. Presentation is superb and you understand why the Michelin star has been given. There is nice balance of different tastes. Many dishes have cold and hot together which goes well. Most dishes were nice, I particularly didn’t like the chocolate mouse (Baal mithai) as it was too sweet despite the sparkling rose wine. It becomes too many dishes by the time 17 courses are served despite small portions. And at one stage also the taste starts mixing up despite the cleanser. It’s an experience and worth a visit once. At the end we were also given ghevar to bring home, a nice gesture. Immaculate service from all staff.
