The 8 Best Vegan Restaurants in Dubai in 2025
1. SEVA Cafe
Located in Jumeirah, SEVA Cafe is a lush reprieve in the middle of the city. When the weather is nice, take a seat in the plant-filled garden – although the boho-chic interior is equally inviting.
Peruse the cafe menu and you’ll find a tempting selection of plant-based dishes that are 100% gluten-free, GMO-free, and cane sugar-free. Think all-day breakfast items like the Breakfast Tofu Wrap and Açai Bowl, starters like the Conscious Nachos and Tofu Dynamite, and mains like the Zucchini Pappardelle and Plant-Based Tacos.
Don’t skip over the drinks menu, which has some excellent tonics, elixirs, smoothies, juices, coffee beverages, and more.
Address: 36 10B St, Jumeirah 1
2. Plantoholic Kitchen and Coffee Bar
If you’re looking for the best vegan restaurants in Dubai and you find yourself in Palm Jumeirah, you’re going to want to give Plantoholic Kitchen and Coffee Bar a try. This is especially true for coffee lovers because all of their beans are ethically sourced, and their coffee drinks are 100% plant-based (try the Oatccino!).
But you’re probably here for the food.
Luckily, the menu here is huge and boasts loads of hearty breakfast dishes, veggie-packed salads, creamy soups, and creative sushi rolls – not to mention all of the vegan sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, pastas, burgers, and more. There really is something for everyone on this menu, even the biggest of vegan skeptics!
Address: Golden Mile 2, Building Number 8, The Palm Jumeirah
3. Vegan Burger
As the name implies, Vegan Burger is all about serving up some of the best plant-based burgers in town. You’ll find this place in The Dubai Mall, but if you don’t feel like making the trek to the mall, you can also order delivery from apps like Deliveroo.
This place prides itself on being the “UAE’s first 100% plant-powered brand” and you’ll find vegan versions of all sorts of American comfort food classics on the menu. The burger menu features creative options from the Truffle Cheeseburger to the Smokey Bacon Burger and Aloo Tikki Burger.
But if you’re not in the mood for a burger, you’ll also find hot dogs, wraps, salads, and sides like chicken nuggets and cheesy fries on the menu. Try to leave room for dessert because their milkshakes are pretty killer too!
Address: Lower Ground Food Court, The Dubai Mall
4. Planet Terra Vegan Cafe
Planet Terra is widely regarded as one of the best vegan restaurants in Dubai to the point that it now has two locations: one in The Greens and one in Ibis World Trade Centre Dubai.
No matter which branch you visit, the mission is the same: to be “your earth-friendly neighborhood cafe.” Everything on the Planet Terra menu is 100% organic and vegan, as well as locally and seasonally sourced whenever possible.
So expect dishes like the Matcha Pancakes and Chickpea Omelette for (all-day) breakfast, Mushroom Shawarma and Car-neat-as Tacos for lunch, and Tofish and Chips and Tempeh Souvlaki for dinner.
The dessert menu even offers a vegan kunafa with a creamy cashew and tapioca filling, which isn’t something you find in Dubai every day!
Ibis World Trade Centre Dubai: Sheikh Zayed Rd., Trade Centre, Trade Centre 2
The Greens: Panorama Building, 6th St., The Greens
5. Wild & The Moon
When it comes to Dubai vegan restaurants, Wild & The Moon is another super popular option. Speaking of its popularity, it now has three locations across the city: Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Alserkal Avenue.
Everything on the menu here is fully vegan, organic, gluten-free, and made with love and care. Choose from one of the nutrient-packed Superbowls, Seasonal Starters, or Seasonal Salads. There’s also a selection of Hot Meals, including the Wild Tacos with vegan nut cheese and guac or the Dish of the Day with grains and seasonal veggies.
They also have an impressive drinks menu with incredible cold-pressed juices, coffee beverages, smoothies, and “Nutmylks.”
Alserkal Avenue: Alserkal Avenue, Street 8, H-77
Downtown Dubai: Palace Hotel Cafe n5, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Blvd
DIFC: Gate Avenue, U-149, Trade Centre
6. Dobro Top Vegan
A true gem in JLT, Dobro Top Vegan is a super highly rated vegan restaurant in town. The menu here is huge and you can choose from a variety of plant-based pita sandwiches, bowls, burgers, burritos, and mains.
But what I love about the Dobro Top Vegan menu is that they have vegan dishes you won’t find anywhere else. Think “caviar”-topped toasts and some of the best and most convincing vegan sushi rolls in Dubai!
JLT: Dubai Star – Cluster L – Jumeirah Lake Towers
7. Replika
When it comes to indulgent vegan eats in Dubai, Replika is tough to beat. The menu here is as creative as it comes, and you’ll be hard-pressed to choose just one dish. This isn’t your average vegan restaurant, so expect all sorts of incredible options you’ve never seen at a vegan restaurant before.
For example, there’s a Stuffed Croissant with Wagyu pea protein bacon, a Lobster Roll made with konjac lobster, a Vegan Salmon Tartare with konjac tuna, a crispy Escalope Milanese with plant-based chicken, a Philly Cheesesteak made with pea protein steak strips – you get the idea!
Business Bay: Windsor Manor
8. SOUL Vegan Cheese
OK, so this isn’t exactly a vegan restaurant, but this cool Dubai-based company sells some seriously good vegan cheeses that you can pick up in a couple of places in the city.
You can find SOUL Vegan Cheese‘s gourmet, nut-based cheeses at Depachika Food Hall in Nakheel Mall and at Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet in Dubai Mall. It’s a wonderful option if you’re looking to put together a vegan cheese platter for your next get-together or if you just need a cheese fix!
