The menu is inspired by humble seasonal ingredients, that are pure, clean, natural, and energy-containing. The cuisine uses fresh produce and dairy products from local farms. The restaurant is driven by the culinary maestro, Chef Rahul Rana, who has a rich background in curating vegetarian and patisserie concepts in culinary arts. The menu at AVATARA will showcase a modern avatar of the techniques, philosophy, and story of soulful Indian food. Indian cuisine was originally predominantly vegetarian. However, the perceptions around vegetarian food have been that of limitations. The idea is to break through these perceptions and curate a unique vegetarian fine dining experience.

About this restaurant
Vegetarian-friendly
Innovative
Good for special occasions
Dubai’s first and only all-vegetarian degustation fine dining experience. Also caters to vegan and gluten-free diets on request. The menu is inspired by humble seasonal ingredients, that are pure, clean, natural, and energy-containing. The cuisine uses fresh produce and dairy products from local farms. The restaurant is driven by the culinary maestro, Chef Rahul Rana, who has a rich background in curating vegetarian and patisserie concepts in culinary arts. The menu at AVATARA will showcase a modern avatar of the techniques, philosophy, and story of soulful Indian food. Indian cuisine was originally predominantly vegetarian. However, the perceptions around vegetarian food have been that of limitations. The idea is to break through these perceptions and curate a unique vegetarian fine dining experience.
Cancellation & refund: If Cancelled 48 hours before dinner – full refund within 48 hours of dinner – 50% refund within 24 hours of dinner – No refund
Avatara Restaurant's menu was last updated on 27/5/2025.
Avatara is the reincarnation of soulful Indian cuisine, embodying a contemporary expression of timeless techniques, philosophy, and tradition. Deeply rooted in the rich heritage of Indian vegetarianism, Avatara redefines the perception of vegetarian dining, traditionally viewed through a lens of limitation. Our mission at Avatara is to transcend these notions, by offering an extraordinary fine dining experience that illuminates the infinite possibilities and exquisite flavors inherent in vegetarian cuisine. At Avatara, we are committed to showcasing the true artistry and sophistication that vegetarian food can achieve.

Great food experience, fast service with all 18 courses. Could add smaller things to enhance the experience, like other michelin starred places.

Really massive effort on Service and very tasty food- but portions are tiny. It's 18 Bites of Food. My wife and were hungry after the meal finished.
We went back to our hotel and ordered Chips

Wow, what an incredible experience. We saw a feature about this restaurant and had to try it. It was everything we expected and more. We would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Friendly staff and even the fantastic chef comes and spends time with you. We loved it.

Amazing experience at Avatara. A unique take on creative Indian food . Every dish was flavorsome and so beautifully presented. Although it was an 18 course menu we left feeling satisfied but not overfull which was nice . Met Chef Rana himself which was an added bonus. Definitely worth going for a special treat

Amazing experience and very tasty food. Chef Omkar was a breath of fresh air with all the explanations and tasteful conversations that we had.
Overall, the hype is completely worth it.
Must visit on a special occasion.

Food and Service was just out of this world. Yes it is a little bit on the expensive side.

Truly one of the best dinner experiences I’ve ever had. Neither my daughter and I are vegetarian, but both love Indian cuisine so we decided to give it a try as they were able to accommodate her soya allergy.
The first 6 courses were presented at the same time and it was perhaps the most beautiful presentation we’ve ever seen. The fact that the tastes of each might have been even more impressive was hard to believe.
The staff were equally delightful and the 2.5 hours passed way too quickly.
Avatara will be our first reservation when we return to Dubai.
