Finding good vegan food in Dubai is considerably easier than it once was.
Across the city, there are now plant-based cafés serving leisurely breakfasts, gourmet restaurants putting vegan twists on international food, and even burger joints where everything on the menu is completely free from animal products.
Plenty of restaurants in Dubai offer vegan dishes, but if you want somewhere where the entire menu is plant-based, it helps to know exactly where to look. So, for this updated guide, we’ve focused on seven entirely vegan restaurants in Dubai rather than places that simply happen to have a few vegan options.
Whether you’re vegan, travelling with somebody who is, or simply want to taste how good plant-based food can be, these are seven spots worth adding to your Dubai dining list.
1. SEVA TABLE
Best for: A long, relaxed breakfast or lunch
Where: 67J7+783, 31A St, Jumeirah, Jumeirah 1
SEVA Table has been serving plant-based food in Dubai since 2014 and is firmly established as one of the city’s favourites. It describes itself as the Middle East’s first 100% plant-based, gluten-free, cane-sugar-free and GMO-free café.
The setting is a large part of the appeal. Hidden behind the bustle of Jumeirah Beach Road, its leafy garden feels removed from the skyscrapers and traffic outside, making it the sort of place where breakfast can very easily turn into several hours.
Food follows the same wellness-focused approach, with colourful bowls, wraps, breakfasts, desserts and drinks built around organic, plant-based ingredients. Recent diners have been particularly positive about both the garden setting and the food, with SEVA holding a 4.6/5 Tripadvisor rating at the time of writing.
2. Wild & The Moon
Best for: Coffee, breakfast bowls and a healthy lunch
Where: Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz, with another Dubai location on Emaar Boulevard
Wild & The Moon stands out when you want plant-based food that’s light but never feels like a compromise.
Its food is centred around vegetables, fruit, herbs, nuts, seeds and superfoods, with no dairy, gluten, refined sugar or artificial additives. The current offering includes cold-pressed juices, smoothies, salads, soups, bowls, snacks and desserts.
There are two branches for Dubai visitors. The Alserkal Avenue café works particularly well if you’re spending time exploring Dubai’s arts district, while the Emaar Boulevard branch makes it easy to combine lunch with a day around Downtown Dubai.
It is perhaps the closest thing on this list to the classic healthy vegan cafe Dubai experience: good coffee, good-looking bowls, and plenty of options for an unhurried breakfast or lunch.
3. Planet Terra
Best for: An all-day vegan meal with a lake view
Where: Panorama Building, Street 6, The Greens
Planet Terra brings together organic ingredients, international flavours, and one of the more relaxed settings on our list. Tucked inside the Panorama Building in The Greens, it serves breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner on a waterside terrace — and dogs are welcome too.
The current menu travels far beyond the typical salad-and-smoothie formula. You might find dishes such as cauliflower steak, a Buddha bowl, crispy plant-based katsu, tempeh, vegan burrata and hearty salads, alongside desserts and fresh drinks.
This is a particularly useful one to know if you’re staying around The Greens, Barsha Heights or neighbouring parts of New Dubai. Recent reviews continue to praise both the food and the relaxed atmosphere, and Planet Terra currently carries a 4.7/5 Tripadvisor score.
4. Vegan Burger – The Dubai Mall
Best for: Plant-based fast food after a day of sightseeingWhere: The Dubai Mall
Vegan Burger describes itself as the UAE’s first 100% plant-powered burger brand, and its Dubai Mall branch gives plant-based fast food a very convenient home in Downtown Dubai.
The menu goes well beyond a token vegetable patty, with burgers joined by hot dogs, loaded fries, salads and plant-based milkshakes. The entire concept is vegan, so there is no need to scan the menu for symbols or double-check which sauce contains dairy.
It is also one of the most heavily reviewed vegan restaurants on this list. The Dubai Mall location currently sits at 5/5 from more than 400 Tripadvisor reviews and received a 2025 Travellers’ Choice award.
For anyone staying in Downtown Dubai, it is probably the easiest introduction to vegan food in the city, particularly if your idea of plant-based eating involves considerably more loaded fries than kale.
5. DOBRO Top Vegan
Best for: A big choice of vegan comfort foodWhere: Jumeirah Lakes Towers
DOBRO Top Vegan is for diners who’d rather have too many choices than too few.
Based in JLT, this vegan restaurant serves an unusually broad menu spanning breakfast, bowls, sandwiches, plant-based meat alternatives, sushi-style dishes, pancakes, crêpes and desserts, with several of its own plant-based alternatives developed in-house.
That variety makes it ideal for group meals — one person can keep it wholesome while someone else beelines for the plant-based burger or dessert.
With its JLT location and waterside surroundings, it’s also a strong option for an easy lunch or casual dinner in New Dubai.
6. Kreate Vegan Fusion
Best for: Bold flavours and vegan fusion food
Where: Al Quoz
Kreate Vegan Fusion takes a more international approach to plant-based eating.
Its current menu moves between Asian, Middle Eastern and Western influences, with dishes such as Korean-style tofu bowls, jackfruit shawarma quesadillas, BBQ tempeh sandwiches, vegan Reubens, and stir-fried tempeh.
If salads and smoothie bowls are not what you had in mind when you searched for vegan restaurants in Dubai, Kreate is a useful reminder that plant-based dining can be spicy, filling, and unapologetically comforting too.
7. Soul Santé Café
Best for: Healthy breakfasts and pancakes
Where: Barsha South
Rounding out the list is Soul Santé Café, a health-focused spot built around the idea of pairing plant-based eating with fitness. The menu spans breakfasts, smoothies, pancakes and desserts, alongside dedicated meal plans, all centred on fresh, wholesome ingredients.
Its current official address is at Vincitore Boulevard in Barsha South, which is worth noting because older restaurant listings can still point visitors towards its previous Dubai Marina location.
For a casual vegan breakfast or lunch, particularly if you’re staying around Arjan or Al Barsha, Soul Santé is a handy one to have saved.
Vegan Food in Dubai: Much More Than a Side Salad
Dubai’s plant-based dining scene has moved well beyond a few substitutions on an otherwise non-vegan menu.
You can start the morning with pancakes, spend lunch over an organic bowl in a garden setting, grab a fully plant-based burger at Dubai Mall, and wind down with sushi-style dishes or international comfort food. The hardest part may simply be choosing where to start.
