Why it matters
Why Aroma Indian Restaurant, Tam Coc is worth your time
Indian restaurants in a rural Vietnamese area are rare, and one with a clear vegan note on its menu helps families who cannot eat locally. Chana masala and daal are staples that most Indian travellers will recognise.
Because the kitchen is not purely vegetarian, ask about shared utensils if that matters to you. Vegetarians can still use it comfortably by ordering lentil and vegetable dishes and stating clearly that no meat, fish or egg should touch the order. Air-conditioning is a real comfort after a hot day on the boats, and the familiar menu makes ordering simple for a mixed group.
