Kamat is most famous for their extensive vegetarian offering and especially the soul-satiating Thalis. They have gone on to receive the Khaleej Times reader's poll Award in 2000 as The Best Vegetarian Restaurant and the hygiene award in 1993 from the Dubai Municipality. Kamat now has outlets in Mankhool, Ghusais, DIC Food Court, King Faisal Road, Rex Road and Al Khuwair.

Set up some fifteen years ago, Kamat brings to the table flavours from the north of the Indian sub-continent, down to the furthest tip of the south. After the unprecedented success of the first Kamat in the UAE, six more opened up in quick succession thereby duplicating their success formula to packed houses. Their combination of fabulous food, contemporary decor and quick service is what draws crowds at all of their branches. While on weekdays business executives are seen enjoying the lovely cuisine at various outlets, on weekends it is generally occupied by families who come for the finest vegetarian spread in the city
