Here’s a little tip to you JLT residents, you can find Vegan AF inside Gbemi’s Kitchen in Cluster R.

One amazing reason you’ll keep coming back to order one of their bowls? It’s so hearty-filling, with loads of healthy options that’ll make any new vegan forget they even are. Oh yes.

Alternatively, if you’re not a JLT resident, you can order from this delish bowl place in many of the major food delivery apps.

5. The Flipside Restobar

For plant-based alternatives to meat that is just as juicy and tasteful,  The Flipside Restobar’s your go-to.

This is reportedly one of the first restaurants in Dubai that serve only alternative meat and veggies in a variety of cuisines and by golly- it is an experience, for sure.

If you live near Garhoud, make sure you pass by Century Village to get to try the incredible plant-based options at this venue. Oh, and did we mention the resto even has an expert dietician on board, whom you can talk to between 9 am-1 pm for some health advice. Neat.
