Why it matters
Why AMY Indian Restaurant is worth your time
Finding vegetarian food in the Old Quarter is harder than it looks, because most street stalls cook with pork stock, fish sauce or shrimp paste. A restaurant that cooks Punjabi dishes in a vegetarian style removes that guesswork for a first-time visitor.
It is also a practical base for older travellers who do not want to try unfamiliar flavours every night. Dal, roti and a plain vegetable curry are easy on the stomach, and the location means you can return to the hotel after the meal without a long taxi ride.

How to experience it
Spinach Guide describes AMY as a casual Punjabi and North Indian restaurant, and the dishes it names will be familiar to most Indian travellers: dal, lentil soup, chana masala, bhindi masala, aloo jeera, mushroom curry, roti and aloo paratha, plus tea. For a first order, a dal with roti or paratha is a gentle choice after a day of fish-sauce-heavy Vietnamese food.
The listing rates the place well for vegans and says staff can point out or adapt vegan dishes. It also notes that the menu includes paneer and dairy-based curries and breads, so vegans should ask specifically about ghee and cream rather than assume.
The restaurant's name advertises pure vegetarian and Jain food, but the page we read does not explain whether egg is excluded or how Jain preparation works. If you avoid onion, garlic or root vegetables, say so clearly and ask what the kitchen can do before you sit down.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Ask about egg and about onion and garlic before ordering
- Ask which curries use ghee or cream if you are vegan
- Confirm opening hours on the day
- Keep the address on your phone for taxi drivers
