Why it matters
Why Nalan Restaurant (Capitol Singapore) is worth your time
Nalan is a restaurant in the Capitol Singapore complex, a restored heritage building in the civic district. This listing is based on a vegan and vegetarian directory, not on the restaurant's own website, so details may be out of date.
It matters here as one of the few Indian places in the city centre that publishes a separate vegan menu, which is unusual in a cuisine that uses ghee and paneer widely. It is a practical choice when your day is in the civic district rather than in Little India.

How to experience it
Find the restaurant on the lower basement of Capitol Singapore, a short walk from City Hall MRT. Ask for the separate vegan menu, which the directory shows with four dishes priced at about S$13 to S$14 when we checked; other dishes can be adapted if you ask staff to skip butter or ghee.
The menu covers both North and South Indian dishes, including aloo gobi and dal tadka. The directory calls it a vegetarian Indian restaurant but does not state that the whole menu is free of egg, so pure vegetarians should confirm with staff.
Use it as a weekday lunch near the Capitol and the civic district, then walk to the nearby Padang and the Merlion. Jain diners should ask whether a no-onion, no-garlic version is possible.
