Enjoy Authentic Delhi-Style Bhature Before It Sells Out
Craving the rich, comforting flavours of Delhi street food? Bhaturewala in Oud Metha is bringing a taste of the Indian capital to Dubai with a simple menu and limited daily servings.
Created by Chef Pradeep Khullar and Saubhagi Veer, the concept focuses on two signature dishes: traditional Delhi-style chole bhature and mutton bhature, accompanied by refreshing lassi.
With just 200 plates available each day, the eatery keeps its offerings limited, focusing on its signature flavours rather than an extensive menu.
There is no traditional dine-in restaurant setup, so customers can collect their orders or enjoy their meals in their cars.
Given the limited number of servings, arriving early could be the best way to avoid missing out on these popular North Indian favourites.
Price: À la carte
Opening Hours:
- Friday: 6pm–10pm
- Saturday and Sunday: 9am–1pm and 6pm–10pm
Location: Bhaturewala, Shop 7, Lamcy A Building, Oud Metha, Dubai

At From Scratch, visitors can indulge in the restaurant’s Black Garlic Pasta, a distinctive dish combining aged black garlic with melted butter to create a rich, savoury sauce.
The combination delivers a slightly sweet flavour with deep umami notes, offering something different from traditional tomato-based pasta dishes.
Meanwhile, Eat & Meat is celebrating the occasion with a live pasta station, allowing diners to choose from freshly prepared pasta varieties and sauces.
For those who enjoy experimenting with flavours, the interactive counter provides an opportunity to customise their pasta experience.
