Indego by Vineet

Overall, a very pleasant place for those who love Indian cuisine. The experience was unusual for me: I liked the restaurant’s décor, the service, and the food was tasty, though it was a bit too spicy for my stomach. Even though the waiter helped us choose the mildest options, some of the dishes were still hard to eat. What I didn’t like and what spoiled the impression, was that when my husband and I were choosing dishes, we asked about portion sizes because we weren’t very hungry and wanted to share an starter and a main. The waiter assured us the appetizers were so small that each of us needed to order our own. In the end, the starters were the size of a full main, and we didn’t even finish half. It felt like a scam to me, as the bill ended up quite high. Otherwise, the restaurant is worth your attention, and I can recommend visiting.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a mixed experience. To start with the positives, the presentation of the food was good and the ambience of the restaurant was also quite pleasant with a great view of the Marina. The staff were courteous and helpful with recommendations. However, the quality of the food itself was underwhelming. While it looked great, the flavors and execution didn’t quite match the high expectations set by the presentation. Some dishes felt bland or lacked the depth and balance one would hope for. The dining area was quite empty even though we visited on a weekend. While this meant a quieter and more relaxed dining experience, it also made us wonder whether the lack of a crowd was a reflection of the food quality. Overall, this place has potential with its beautiful setting and excellent service, but the food needs improvement to truly deliver a memorable dining experience.

An amazing dinner experience, glad I booked Indego. Ujjwal and Dheena and the rest of the team were brilliant, so warming and welcoming in a cosy atmosphere. Ujjwal took the time to take us outside in-between the courses, the dishes were well explained and the flavours of the dishes were well-balanced. Portions for a fine dining restaurant were really good, and we were glad Dheena advised us not to order as much as we had originally anticipated! A lovely birthday experience complete with lovely service, food, conversation and learning about the components of the dishes. Recommended for a great dining experience. Huge thanks to the team for a wonderful first visit. 🙏🏽We would love to return on another trip to experience the new menu!

We had the pleasure of experiencing a whole new level of gourmet Indian dining at Indego by Vineet. This Michelin-recommended restaurant beautifully blends modern and innovative presentation, offering contemporary Indian cuisine crafted by celebrity Chef Vineet Bhatia. Their sharing-style menu features street food-inspired favorites and dishes cooked on a griddle, clay oven, grill, and stew pot. Our meal began with a trio of papads served with three distinct chutneys, followed by an amuse bouche and a signature Chaat Trilogy—potato chaat, papdi chat, and a cold dahi Bhalla ice-cream. The combination of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors, along with the contrasting textures of the cold ice-cream and crunchy papdi, was a truly delightful sensory experience. From the tandoor, we tried the Pistachio Lamb Chops, which came with a pistachio-coriander chutney and a playful potato jalebi. The vibrant green pistachios added both a visual appeal and a subtle crunch. The Sundried Tomato Prawns, buttery and lightly spiced, were served with a crib squid ink puchka—a bold and flavorful dish. Our personal favorite was the Charcoal Mustard Salmon—tender, honey-glazed salmon served with a dill cucumber raita. We also loved the Malai Broccoli, which featured creamy florets atop Manchurian lotus stems, paired with crispy rice idiyappam. The Chicken Maharani, marinated in black Punjabi lentils and cooked in a rich dhaba sauce, was incredibly flavorful. For the main course, we enjoyed the Lamb Morel-Guchi Korma infused with truffle ghee—an unforgettable dish with hints of coconut and a touch of truffle aroma—paired perfectly with garlic coriander naan, black olive-rosemary naan, and Lacha butter naan. The Dum Parda Chicken Biryani, served with pomegranate yogurt sauce, was fragrant, flavorful, and mildly spiced. Dessert was a visual and taste sensation—a beautiful kulfi platter shaped into a lotus flower, featuring banana kulfi, malai, and sorbet flavors with the central rim made of a vibrant red colored crunchy vermicelli.

I’ve been coming here since my sister brought me almost 14 years ago. The place has changed a lot but the food is still wonderful. My sister visited recently and insisted that we eat here and she said it was as good as she remembered. Special thanks to our server, Jonathan, who helped me out with gluten free options and explained all the items on the menu to us patiently. We ordered the dal maharani and the butter chicken as well as an egg dish (kheema I believe). We also had the gianduja dessert. Everything was delicious. We booked an early table and the place fills up fast. Definitely recommended for a memorable meal.

I was genuinely excited to try Indego by Vineet in Dubai, especially after a wonderful experience at Dhilli in The Oberoi, New Delhi which is also under the guidance of Chef Vineet Bhatia. Unfortunately, this visit was a letdown. I’ve dined at several of India’s top Michelin and award-winning restaurants, and I’ve rarely had Indian food this underwhelming especially at this price point. While the presentation and service were acceptable, the food itself was disappointing: flat flavors, lack of freshness, and odd seasoning choices. Worse still, when I raised my concerns, neither the chef nor the manager showed any genuine interest. It felt dismissive. I truly hope the team pays more attention to guest feedback and lives up to the reputation associated with Chef Vineet. Dubai deserves better Indian fine dining and so do the loyal guests who come in with high expectations.

Visited for a team dinner on 31st Jan. The ambience is 10/10, but the food was nothing as exceptional which should crave you to visit again. We ordered set menu both veg and non veg and nothing I mean nothing which we felt was out of box in terms of taste, though the presentation was nice. With set menu the main course was served all together with we finding server to help serve and with table near open place all food was cold and the best part which we felt was missing in service was coordination. We asked guy to get some breads, which took time and meanwhile we checked with another one and after some time they both landed with breads.. no communication rather poor mismanagement leading food wastage. We asked to see the manager and nobody turned up, guess they don't believe in feedback. Anyhow we paid the bill and moved on. Definitely out of 9 pax we were no one is paying second visit to this place.

A mesmerising culinary journey through scents and flavours. This high-class, elegant, gourmet restaurant is a treat that you should have at least once in your life. All the interiors are decorated in a traditional, princely Indian style. Service is definitely on a high level: discreet, classy and polite. We choose the tasting menù, one of them kindly adapted to vegan requirements. Not only every single course serve was a pleasure for the eyes, but every single bit was an explosion of flavours. For not being a salmon lover, this place offers one of the best barbecue salmon I ever tasted in my life. The wines paired with the courses couldn't be more appropriate. Absolutely recommended experience, specially for romantic occasions.
