A standout small plate that features young goat meat ground and formed into a puck-shaped kebab, seared until caramelized. The bone marrow salan is rich and moreish, and it arrives with crispy, flaky chur chur paratha for tearing and scooping. Multiple reviewers call this the talk of the table.
Tips from diners
The bone marrow sauce is the standout—use the paratha to soak up every bit. Ask for extra paratha if you finish it.
A coastal dish from southern India, this curry showcases subtle spicing that lets the lobster shine. The silky coconut milk base is infused with spices (turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom) without overpowering. The kal dosa on the side is lacy and crispy—perfect for scooping the delicate lobster and sauce.
Tips from diners
This is the most refined lobster curry you'll find in Dubai—the restraint in spicing elevates the seafood.

Order this as your first dish—it eases you into the Jamavar experience and the warm potato is comfort food refined.
