Eating out with a dietary restriction can feel stressful, but Indian cuisine offers a lot of flexibility. If you follow a vegan or gluten-free diet and are dining in Surrey, these tips will help you order with confidence at Moj Masti Lounge + Bar.
Tell your server first
The most useful thing you can do is share your dietary needs as soon as you sit down. At Moj Masti, we offer plenty of vegetarian options and can accommodate vegan and gluten-free requests. Your server can guide you to suitable dishes and explain what goes into them.
Know where dairy and gluten often hide
Many Indian dishes use dairy in the form of yogurt, cream, butter or ghee. Some sauces are thickened with flour, and breads are usually made from wheat. Knowing this helps you ask the right questions, such as whether a dish contains cream or whether a sauce is thickened.
Vegan-friendly categories to ask about
Lentil and bean dishes, vegetable curries and rice-based dishes can often be prepared without dairy. Ask whether a dish is made with oil rather than butter or ghee, and whether any cream or yogurt is added. Our team can tell you what's possible for each dish.
Gluten-free-friendly categories to ask about
Rice, many lentil dishes and grilled items can be naturally free of gluten, but sauces, marinades and breads need to be checked. Ask about any thickeners, and skip wheat-based breads if you need to avoid gluten.
Be clear about allergies
Dietary preference and medical allergy are different. If you have a serious allergy, say so clearly and ask how a dish is prepared. We'll do our best to help, and we encourage you to let us know before ordering rather than after.
Navigating the buffet
Buffets are convenient, but shared serving spoons and nearby dishes can be a concern for allergies. If this matters to you, let your server know so they can advise you on the best way to enjoy your meal. Our lunch buffet is $20.50 per adult and our dinner buffet is $23.50 per adult.
Ask questions without hesitation
Restaurants are used to dietary questions, and your server would much rather answer them than have you leave uncertain. Ask about ingredients, preparation and substitutions. You can also browse our menu in advance to plan what to ask.
Dining with a group
If you're organizing a group meal or event and some guests have dietary needs, send us the details in advance through our contact page. It helps us prepare, especially for party or catering orders.
