Why it matters
Why Bollywood Spice Indian Restaurant is worth your time
After several days of noodle soups and fish-sauce seasonings, many Indian families want a plate of dal, roti or rice that tastes of home. This is the Indian restaurant that vegetarian guides for Sa Pa keep returning to, and Spinach lists it as very vegan-friendly.
It does not replace a pure vegetarian kitchen, because the menu is mixed. Its value is familiarity: staff cook Indian dishes and are used to adjusting them for vegetarians, which is simpler than explaining your diet to a Vietnamese kitchen from scratch.

How to experience it
Walk up to Muong Hoa Street, close to the centre of town, and tell the server at the start that you eat vegetarian food. Spinach names garlic basil naan and lentil soup as top tips, and mentions curry, vegetable masala, biryani and momos. Impress Travel's guide adds chana masala with rice, baingan bharta, dal tadka and mango lassi.
This is a mixed Indian kitchen, not a vegetarian one, so confirm that vegetable dishes are cooked separately if that matters to your family. Spinach says vegan customisation is available on request, and Impress Travel notes that ghee, butter and paneer can be left out, with coconut milk for the lassi.
Jain travellers should ask directly whether a dish can be made without onion, garlic and root vegetables. The sources do not promise it, so treat any yes as a request, not a guarantee.
