Listing Description

With your eyes closed hope your tongue often plays the game: pehchan kaun...... and loves to differentiate between pure ghee & pure cow ghee; masala dosa & Mysore masala dosa; Anjeneyar vadai & Maddur vadai; coffee robusta & coffee arabica and so on. However if you are nodding your head in disagreement then you sure have more important things than I do and sincerely request you to stop reading any further! Now that only foodies like me are here, let's me share my opinion about Al Ghaar! Location wise suits both Dubai & Sharjah residents. Also a decent drive from near by Emirates. There is ample parking both free and paid. The first thing I noticed is a big genuine smile on the face of all staff making it obvious that they are not working for money but for their passion. The aroma of freshly ground masalas will be a treat to your nostrils. A small, decent, neat and clean restaurant with see through kitchen with no refrigerator will only take your appetite one notch up! Typically here you will find special cuisines of North Karnataka and Maharashtra with some tinge of Andhra & Telangana. Speacial Thali is a must try during lunch n dinner. Mirchi bajji is the starter followed by 4 to 6 varieties of rotis, 3 different curries, sambar, rasam, mixed salad, chutney, peanut podi with curd, preserves, special rice, butter milk and in desert obbatu/puran poli with special cow ghee. Jowar roti with baigan ki sabzi is the catch. Akki roti with dilli leaves will enhance your taste buds. Methi roti (almost tastes like thepla but with less oil) and ragi roti are easy on stomach. Bazre ki roti will remind you of bazro no rotlo with ghee godd. However, here it is eaten with tangy n spicy veggies. Mirchi bajji is just aptly spicy, butter milk is simple but tasty, different rice preparations every day will make you eat here often. Last comes obbattu/puran poli with dollops of special tuppa (ghee) Dal & coconut are a must try. Peanut and sweet potato obbatus are also heavenly treat. Almost all the main course items are unlimited. You will be surprised that you have such good appetite as by then you would have had at least 3 to 4 rotis, few extra serves of baigan curry(these are repeated in every meal) and tonnes of butter milk. All these are so meticulously prepared that they are tasty yet very easy on us. In some restaurants with unlimited thali i find the waiter inconspicuous after 2nd or 3rd round of helping but here that motherly treatment was given to me even on the seventh visit to Al Ghaar! For the first time, the salad in your plate will have inferiority complex looking at the other sattvik delicacies in your plate. The only thing that you may miss is the beeda(paan) which of course is not allowed in the UAE. However after the heavenly treat you may not remember paan as by now all your sensing organs may be thanking you again and again! They have Aa la carte too. For breakfast n dinner they have many varieties to choose from but ye kahani phir kabhi. Are you still reading? Hats off! Had I been you, I would have driven half way to Al Ghaar by now with full volume of the Vengaboys distorted song.
