Indian cuisine is one of the best in the world for vegetarians, with a long tradition of meat-free cooking built around lentils, vegetables, paneer and spices. If you're looking for vegetarian Indian food in Surrey, here's a guide to the kinds of dishes worth trying at Moj Masti Lounge + Bar.
Why Indian food works so well for vegetarians
Many Indian dishes rely on legumes, vegetables, dairy and spices rather than meat for their flavour and substance. That means vegetarian meals are rarely an afterthought. They're hearty, varied and full of layered taste.
Lentil and bean dishes
Lentils and beans, called dal and similar names, are a staple across India. They're slow-cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices until creamy and comforting. A bowl of dal with rice or bread is a satisfying meal on its own, and a good starting point if you're new to Indian cooking.
Paneer dishes
Paneer is a fresh, mild cheese that holds its shape when cooked. It's often served in rich, spiced sauces or marinated and cooked in the tandoor for a smoky finish. For many vegetarians, paneer is the star of the table.
Vegetable curries
From potatoes and cauliflower to spinach and mixed vegetables, Indian vegetable dishes range from dry and spiced to saucy and creamy. Trying a couple together gives you a nice contrast of textures and flavours.
Starters and street snacks
Vegetarian starters and chaat-style snacks are packed with crunch, tang and spice. Our menu includes golgappa, a popular street snack, and you can browse more on our menu.
Breads and rice
Fresh breads and fragrant rice round out any vegetarian meal. They soak up sauces and balance heat, so they're worth ordering alongside your curries.
Vegan and gluten-free requests
We offer plenty of vegetarian options and can accommodate vegan and gluten-free requests. Because some dishes use dairy or wheat, please tell your server about your dietary needs when you arrive so they can recommend suitable choices and explain ingredients.
Try the buffet
A buffet is a great way to sample many vegetarian dishes in one visit. Our lunch buffet is $20.50 per adult and our dinner buffet is $23.50 per adult. Take small portions of several dishes and find your favourites.
