The short answer

Curry Pot: what visitors should know first

A practical choice if someone in your party avoids dairy or egg, because the vegan dishes are reported as marked. It is a mixed menu with meat, so tell the kitchen about shared pans and confirm the hours.

Why it matters

Why Curry Pot is worth your time

Mixed menus are where most Indian vegetarians get caught out abroad, because the vegetarian section may sit beside a meat kitchen with shared utensils. A menu that marks its vegan dishes tells you the kitchen has already sorted ingredients into groups, which is a better starting point than a long unmarked list.

It also suits groups that disagree. Meat eaters and non-meat eaters can share one table, while the vegan guest orders from the marked items. Use the marking as an opening for questions, not a final guarantee: ask about ghee, cream and honey, and ask about the oil used. The kitchen's answer will tell you more than any directory.

How to experience it

Curry Pot is listed on HappyCow as a moderately priced restaurant serving mostly Indian food with some Nepali dishes, open every day. The detail that matters for our readers is that the directory says its vegan items are clearly marked. On a mixed menu, that makes ordering far less of a guessing game.

Start with the Nepali side if you want something different from a standard curry house: dal bhat, the rice-and-lentil plate, is a staple of Nepali kitchens, though we did not see it named on the listing, so ask whether it is offered. Otherwise choose from the marked vegan dishes and add bread or rice.

The menu also includes meat, and we found no pure vegetarian or Jain claim, so say clearly that you want no meat, egg or fish, and ask whether vegetables share a pan or oil with meat dishes. A separate branch, Curry Pot Toul Kork, is listed on Street 313; check which one is closer.

Plan with confidence

Small checks that make a better meal.

  • Confirm which branch you are visiting
  • Ask about meat and egg in shared pans
  • Check whether ghee or cream is used
  • Phone ahead about onion and garlic for Jain guests
