Restaurant Review: Inside Dubai’s Michelin-starred Indian vegetarian sanctuary
Avatara is unlike any other restaurant in Dubai in countless ways. This small, unassuming spot nestled in Dubai Hills appears, from the outside, like your typical neighbourhood eatery, but nothing could have prepared us for what was to come. I have to admit, dissimilarly to many Dubai foodies, I knew very little about Avatara and its concept. The restaurant is the world’s only Indian vegetarian restaurant to hold a Michelin star, with a singular 17-course tasting menu for each guest. They define themselves as “the reincarnation of soulful Indian food”, utilising clean, seasonal ingredients to produce something magical, artistic, and truly memorable.
