Pure veg in Melbourne: common questions

Straight answers to what people ask most.

Are there pure veg Indian restaurants in Melbourne?

Yes. AaharLink lists 2 pure vegetarian Indian restaurants in Melbourne. Pure veg means the kitchen prepares no meat, fish or egg at all, which is different from a restaurant that simply offers vegetarian dishes.

What is the difference between pure veg and vegetarian options?

A pure veg restaurant prepares no meat, fish or egg anywhere in its kitchen, so there is no shared equipment or cross-contact. A restaurant with "vegetarian options" cooks meat too and simply has meat-free dishes on the menu. For many diners the distinction is a religious requirement rather than a preference.

Which Indian cuisines are usually pure vegetarian?

Gujarati and South Indian kitchens are most often pure vegetarian, and Jain restaurants always are. Punjabi and Mughlai kitchens usually serve meat, though most have a substantial vegetarian menu.
