Indego by Vineet — Restaurant in Dubai

Experience counts each and every time we try a new food outlet, but this triples when you are taken for a date at a to a place beyond expectation. I was looking for the usual dinner, until I arrived at Grosvenor House

As I walked inside the beautifully lavish hotel, decorated with gorgeous florals, I was taken by surprise when I was told that the dine-in was at Indego by Vineet

A modern and contemporary designed Indian restaurant, was a treat to the eyes with a beautiful entry walkway and a welcoming atmosphere. Indego by Vineet is known for its innovative dishes and expressive menu, with a presentation beyond imagination. Their dishes are infused with special spices, and mark my words, your experience will be cherished for life!

We had the pleasure of experiencing a whole new level of gourmet Indian dining at Indego by Vineet. This Michelin-recommended restaurant beautifully blends modern and innovative presentation, offering contemporary Indian cuisine crafted by celebrity Chef Vineet Bhatia. Their sharing-style menu features street food-inspired favorites and dishes cooked on a griddle, clay oven, grill, and stew pot.

Our meal began with a trio of papads served with three distinct chutneys, followed by an amuse bouche and a signature Chaat Trilogy—potato chaat, papdi chat, and a cold dahi Bhalla ice-cream. The combination of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors, along with the contrasting textures of the cold ice-cream and crunchy papdi, was a truly delightful sensory experience. From the tandoor, we tried the Pistachio Lamb Chops, which came with a pistachio-coriander chutney and a playful potato jalebi. The vibrant green pistachios added both a visual appeal and a subtle crunch. The Sundried Tomato Prawns, buttery and lightly spiced, were served with a crib squid ink puchka—a bold and flavorful dish.

Our personal favorite was the Charcoal Mustard Salmon—tender, honey-glazed salmon served with a dill cucumber raita. We also loved the Malai Broccoli, which featured creamy florets atop Manchurian lotus stems, paired with crispy rice idiyappam. The Chicken Maharani, marinated in black Punjabi lentils and cooked in a rich dhaba sauce, was incredibly flavorful. For the main course, we enjoyed the Lamb Morel-Guchi Korma infused with truffle ghee—an unforgettable dish with hints of coconut and a touch of truffle aroma—paired perfectly with garlic coriander naan, black olive-rosemary naan, and Lacha butter naan. The Dum Parda Chicken Biryani, served with pomegranate yogurt sauce, was fragrant, flavorful, and mildly spiced. Dessert was a visual and taste sensation—a beautiful kulfi platter shaped into a lotus flower, featuring banana kulfi, malai, and sorbet flavors with the central rim made of a vibrant red colored...

Simply put - this place should be on every Dubai resident's must visit list.

I met a few friends here for dinner on a weeknight and walked in with really high expectations; and this fine establishment exceeded all my expectations.

Food - 9.5/10; their tasting menu didn't really jump off the pages and with one of us four not too keen on seafood, we decided to order multiple dishes from their a la carte menu and share.

We were served with some complimentary pakoras before the starters arrived - while the pakoras were good, i prefer my oily street pakoras.

For starters we had their black gold and the akhroti tawa seekh; the black gold was divine and i would recommend anyone visiting this place to try. You get pieces of chicken good with squid ink - my first time having squid ink and the slight saltiness on the buttery soft chicken was simply delicious.

Before the mains, we were offered some complimentary pineapple & coconut sorbet - it tasted like frozen pina colada with a very creamy texture mixed with some chunks. The perfect palate cleanser.

For mains, we had their chicken biryani and lamb shank. Without questions -this was the best chicken biryani i have ever had in Dubai - ever. The lamb shank would just melt in your mouth - the meat was very tender; though i felt that the spices were a bit too strong; to the point where i couldn't tell if i was eating lamb or beef or even chicken.

For desserts, we shared tropical paradise (good) and the chocolicious (death by chocolate - panacotta, dark chocolate mouse and a chocolate samosa; paired with a chocolate paan drink).

We had one more dessert and i cannot find it on the menu listed on this site - this was the green dish in my pics.

Service - 5/5; fast, attentive, accommodating, knowledgeable about the menu ... actually pretty perfect service.

Ambience - 5.5/5; an amazing setting with immaculate attention to detail. The artwork and rose petal arrangements are unlike any other establishment in the...
