Amazing food and great service throughout. Took a group here, and the north Indian Chaat and veg kadhi they have is outstanding. Moreover they also used to have this amazing canteen in silicon which we loved. They have really paved the way for Indian food in Dubai

I recently visited Puranmal to try their new AED 12 Breakfast Offer, and it was absolutely worth it! The curated menu had a great variety of delicious options to choose from. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served promptly. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed morning meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured a smooth dining experience.I appreciate that the offer is available throughout the week from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM at most branches (except Vega and food courts). It’s such a fantastic deal for the quality and taste offered. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, satisfying breakfast, I highly recommend giving this offer a try!

Their paneer parathas used to be out of this world but now tastes like reheated frozen paratha, Their Chola poori and dhal pakwan are really good. Sweets are out of the world

We went to Puranmal in Meena Bazaar for Sunday lunch. The location is quite central, almost midway between Al Ghubaiba and Sharaf DG (previously Al Fahidi) metro stations, which makes it convenient to reach by metro. The seating is on the first floor, and although the ceiling is a bit low, it actually adds to the cozy and traditional ambience. The restaurant was fully packed (likely because it was a weekend), so there was a bit of delay in getting our food served, understandable but worth noting. We ordered paneer bhurjee, dal tadka, paneer tikka masala, masala chaas, and peda lassi. Everything tasted good, except the paneer bhurjee which was just okay & could have been better. The rest of the dishes were nice and flavorful. One highlight here is their wide collection of Indian sweets, including special sweets prepared for festivals, definitely worth trying or even packing to take home. Parking can be a bit tricky, especially on weekends. It’s best to use paid private parking nearby to avoid hassle. On weekdays, RTA parking is usually available. Also, there’s a multistory parking under construction right opposite Puranmal (as of May 2025), which should help once it’s operational. Overall, a great place to bring friends and family, especially if they enjoy vegetarian food and Indian mithai. Service could be faster during peak hours, but still very much a must-try spot in Bur Dubai’s Meena Bazaar.
