About this spot
Puranmal delivers authentic Gujarati flavors that stand out against the typical Indian fare found in Deira, serving up rich khichdi and sweet undhiyu with a local touch. The kitchen balances savory spices perfectly to create dishes that feel like a warm home-cooked meal rather than standard restaurant food.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra ghee on your roti to soak up the flavors of the dal and vegetables.
- Order the undhiyu early in the day as this mixed vegetable stew is often sold out by evening.
- Bring cash or check if you plan to eat at the counter, as credit card terminals can be slow.
