5 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Chatore Restaurant - Abu Dhabi is a pure vegetarian Indian street-food kitchen on Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street, a sister concern of Chaat Junction, serving pani puri, vada pav, papdi chaat and bhature. It's the most-reviewed vegetarian restaurant on this page, built specifically around North Indian street snacks rather than full sit-down thalis.

Sangam Vegetarian Restaurant is an Indian vegetarian kitchen on Khalifa Bin Zayed The First Street, part of a chain with over 30 years serving North and South Indian dishes, thalis, dosas and sweets. It has the second-highest review count on this page and covers a fuller sit-down menu than the street-food spots.

GALA Restaurant is an Indian restaurant in Al Zahiyah offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes on an à la carte menu, with an elegant dining room suited to celebrations. It holds the highest rating on this page.

AcaiXpress Cafe near Al Mamoura offers açaí bowls, smoothies, gluten-free and lactose-free meals, sourced from Brazil. It's a light-bite, health-focused cafe rather than a full vegetarian restaurant, useful if you want a quick, plant-forward snack rather than a sit-down curry.

ALKALIME Healthy Restaurant works as an all-day cafe rather than a dedicated vegetarian kitchen, and that suits a lacto-ovo vegetarian well: reviewers order egg dishes like the Eat Your Green omelette alongside pasta pomodoro and beet lattes. The Saadiyat waterfront site also houses a workspace and a small retail corner, so it functions as somewhere to settle in for a few hours. Staff knowledge of celiac requirements comes up repeatedly in reviews, with gluten-free dishes marked on the menu.
