The short answer
The Curry Leaf & Fusion Foods: what visitors should know first
A useful dinner stop in Senggigi when you want curry and rice rather than grilled fish. It is not a vegetarian kitchen, because lamb korma is on the menu, so order the vegetarian course and ask about eggs and stock. Confirm hours, as it is reported closed on Mondays.

Why it matters
Why The Curry Leaf & Fusion Foods is worth your time
Indian food is hard to find on Lombok away from a few tourist pockets, and Senggigi is where most visitors from India are likely to stay. A curry-and-rice dinner after a day of temple visits or beach time is the familiar comfort many older travellers look for.
The restaurant is a practical choice rather than a destination. It does not claim to be pure vegetarian, and we found no evidence of Jain cooking, so it suits flexible vegetarians and mixed-diet families rather than strict ones. Its position on the main road makes it easy for a taxi to reach and easy to combine with the beach front.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
Take a taxi along Jalan Raya Senggigi to the km 8 stretch, where the restaurant sits among the cafes and shops of the main road. Spinach.guide lists it as open Tuesday to Sunday from midday until late and closed on Mondays, so plan around that and check by phone if your evening is fixed.
The menu is Indian-style curry. Diners quoted on the page mention the curry and a vegetarian course, and one guide names samosa, a vegetable dish and lamb korma among recommended orders. That mix tells you the kitchen also cooks meat, so a strict vegetarian should order the vegetarian course and ask about shared utensils and stock.
Spinach.guide notes a handful of dishes that can be made vegan, such as curries without yogurt or butter, with lentils and beans as the protein. The menu is not labelled, so ask each time. Sit outside if the air is cool, and pair it with a walk on Senggigi Beach before or after the meal.
