Veg Tandoori Master restaurant

Veg Tandoori Master

Surfers Paradise · Indian · Vegetarian · €€

The menu includes dishes explicitly labelled GF and OGO (Onion Garlic Optional), and the homepage banners promote 'Vegan Food' and 'Pure Vegetarian'. Many curries, rice dishes, and sides (e.g. Daal Tarka, Plain Rice, Onion Bhaji, Potato Fries) are naturally vegan or can be made so by omitting dairy. The menu also includes dairy-based items like Paneer, Lassi, shakes, and Cheese Naan, so not everything is vegan. The kitchen is vegetarian, not 100% vegan — but the staff are clearly used to vegan requests and the menu marks OGO items to help navigate. A dedicated fryer is not confirmed.
