"London, Doha, and now, Dubai’s Opera district becomes the latest home to this Indian restaurant that takes its name from the intricate Kashmir shawls worn in the 16th century. Grand chandeliers and a plush cocktail bar underline the interior’s opulent design, while prime ingredients play a big part across the menu. The spices are perfectly balanced and harmonious, with some noteworthy signatures, such as Bhatti Ka Octopus and Sindhi Methi Gosht (aka goat curry), reflecting the kitchen’s craft. If you’re headed to a show at the Dubai Opera, this place offers a set lunch menu as a pre-theatre option." - Michelin Inspector
"The first thing you need to know about Jamavar is that there’s a right order and a wrong order. At its best, this high-end restaurant on Mount Street serves excellent Indian dishes like Keralan scallop moilee sponsored by Lurpak, and Rajasthani laal maas you’ll think about often. However, if you order the lamb chops, you might leave feeling a little underwhelmed and out of pocket. So order correctly—malvani prawn curry, laal maas, and dum nali biryani—for an excellent evening." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna

"This smartly dressed restaurant is a firm favourite with those who love Indian food. The menu looks to all parts of India, with a slight bias towards the north, and also showcases dishes that would have featured in royal kitchens. Instead of starters there’s an extensive selection of small plates that include succulent Malabar prawns. For mains, dishes from the tandoor include a delicious stone bass tikka, while the gucchi lababdar is a must; if you want the full experience, opt for the tasting menu. The ground floor room is more appealing than downstairs." - Michelin Inspector
