One of Dubai’s most beloved homegrown North Indian vegetarian restaurants, Chatori Gali, is celebrating 15 flavorful years in the UAE this May 2025 — and they’re inviting everyone to join the party with a nostalgic twist.
From May 15 to May 30, diners across all Chatori Gali outlets can enjoy all main course dishes for just AED 15 — a way to say a heartfelt thank you to one and all. Yes, you read that right: Signature favourites like Dal Makhani, Paneer Butter Masala, and Soya Rogan Josh, normally priced at AED 35–40, will be served at just AED 15 for a limited time.
This special promotion is Chatori Gali’s way of saying thank you to the community that has supported them since their humble beginnings in Oud Metha back in 2010.
Somya Jain, CEO at Chatori Gali, shared, “I’m incredibly proud to be leading a team of over 80 people today — all thanks to what my mother started with just one outlet. Our customers have been the heart of our journey, and completing 15 years in Dubai wouldn’t have been possible without their love and loyalty. This celebration is our way of giving back. We want everyone to visit Chatori Gali this month and enjoy our main course dishes at just AED 15!
Chatori Gali: 15 Years of Serving Love and Jalebis in Dubai
Chatori Gali began its journey in 2010 with a single outlet in Oud Metha. It was started by Priti Jain, who saw a clear gap in Dubai for a good vegetarian North Indian restaurant — especially one with a live kitchen where customers could watch fresh jalebis, chaats, and starters being made right in front of them. With Chatori Gali, that gap was filled — and for many Indian expats, it felt like a taste of home. The food, the flavours, and the warm service made it a special place right from the start.
Staying strong for 15 years in Dubai’s fast-moving food scene hasn’t been easy. But Chatori Gali has made it through all kinds of challenges — from tough competition to changing market trends and ups and downs in the economy. What kept them going? Their strong focus on quality, consistency, and making customers feel truly welcome.
One of the things Chatori Gali is best known for is its jalebis — crisp, golden, and served fresh all day. In fact, many fans say they’re the best in Dubai, and the restaurant has become the go-to spot for jalebi cravings at any time alongside their other North Indian delicacies, from Rajma Chawal to kadhi chawal, veg butter chicken, tandoor dishes, and so much more.
Over the years, Chatori Gali opened several outlets. After the first one in Oud Metha, they expanded to Barsha, DIP, Meena Bazaar, Karama, Sharjah, JLT, Mall of the Emirates, Nahda, and Silicon Oasis. Some branches were later closed in a smart, planned way to focus on quality and reach. As of 2025, Chatori Gali runs five popular locations — Barsha, Karama, Oud Metha (reopened in 2025), Nahda, and Dubai Silicon Oasis — and an exciting new outlet is coming soon to Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC).
They’ve also grown beyond just restaurants. Chatori Gali now offers premium catering for private events, corporate functions, and even celebrity parties — including one hosted for the famous Chef Sanjeev Kapoor.
As they celebrate 15 years, Chatori Gali isn’t just looking back. With Somya Jain, now the second-generation entrepreneur taking charge, they’re stepping into the future with big plans. Their latest move? A new partnership with GMG to bring their food to Géant and Aswaaq supermarkets.
From one small shop to a beloved brand across Dubai, Chatori Gali’s journey has been about passion, hard work, and a whole lot of heart — one jalebi at a time.
