Dietary Restrictions
Tips for restricted diets.
Vegetarian food is widely available and often the norm in many rural households; specify no ghee or butter if you want strictly vegan options, and ask about ingredients since dairy is common.
Vegan options are possible but require asking (most dals are vegan unless ghee is added). Gluten-free diets can be managed with rice-based dishes, lentils, and vegetable curries—communicate clearly about flour-based items.
Be explicit about allergies (nuts, dairy, gluten) as cross-contamination is common. Use simple local phrases or have a note written in Hindi to explain serious allergies.
