Okay... DH and I are going out for a rare night out and want to try something new. I posted over in the Georgia thread for ethnic restaurant suggestions in the Atlanta area.
At this point, I'm leaning toward Indian as I've never eaten at this style of restaurant. Morrocan, yes but not Indian. Plus, I think I'd prolly have better luck at getting a good vegan meal at this style of restaurant. (I looked at a Persian restaurant recommended by my Persian neighbor but... it's pretty heavy on the beef aspect and no vegetarian options listed. So, I doubt that will fly.)
So... with that in mind and a gentle reminder that I'm vegan, I've got a couple questions for you Indian food pros.
1) Is there egg in this ethnic style of food? I don't ever see it mentioned, so this is a plain curiousity.
2) I know that quite a few use ghee, a form of butter. Since I'm allergic to dairy, I know I need to ask them for other options. For what other buzzwords should I look when I read their menus that are NOT vegan?
3) Any other heads-up of which I should be aware?
(Btw, if you have any suggestions for me, Indian or otherwise, LMK in the other thread, okay?
)
Thanks!!!
