I eat a lot of rabbit food.

Vegetarian Indian food is usually available if you ask in advance. It is not usually Vegan - Ghee and yogurt being common ingredients. On one of my cruises they had a couple of dishes at lunch each day representing the countries of the crew - Indian, Philippines, etc. I personally loved this!

I agree. Those dishes were consistently the best on the buffet.

They have Indian food on the buffet? How have I missed.this? How exciting!

Thank you all for your replies. It sounds like I'll be packing some to be on the safe side.
Yes, I am a vegan and I did make a not of it in my reservation, but I appreciate you all looking out for me and mentioning it.

You can only take on board prepacked food. I would double check to make sure you can bring on salad or other fresh foods.

I assumed the OP meant salad dressing, not salad. But yes you are correct, you can only take nonperishable, sealed, commercially packaged food on or off the ship. Unopened bottles of commercially produced salad dressing would be fine. Homemade or open bottles of salad dressing would not. And any vegetables and/or fruit would be a definite no-no.

How does this work? I adore Indian food. Do they just bring out dishes family style?

We had this one night and yes they just bring out platters and platters of Indian food family style. It was pretty incredible.

Wow. Do you recall which ship and which dining room?

Good catch. I was just wondering how she was going to get on lettuce. LOL

Any ship. Any MDR. I befriended a gentleman on one of our cruises who told me he requested the Indian food for every night and that's what they brought him.

You should still be able to add it. Just call DCL or have your TA do it.

Our server noticed I wasn't eating very much of the vegetarian entrees and leaving a lot of my plate uneaten. He asked what type of food I like to eat at home. When I mentioned that my DH and I like Indian, he said he would be right back and brought out family-style Indian food; we had this every night, even if I ordered a regular vegetarian entree. I have to say, I quickly stopped ordering the vegetarian entrees and just went with the Indian food. It was pretty darn good! Granted, they don't have access to all the spices they normally cook with, but it definitely was more palatable than many of the listed entrees. Our server mentioned they have this as an option for many of their customers who are Indian who sail as well as the crew members, so it was no problem to accommodate us with this. My DH has asked for this every time we've sailed

One of my favorite entrees that was listed on the menu was a braised tofu "steak", I will take a tofu dish any day. So now that i know that they can bring an entree from any other restaurant, I'm asking for the tofu every time I see it listed!

We were on the magic and our head server was really nice and said he had a surprise for us and they brought out an amazing Indian food feast. I've seen people eating Indian food on other ships. I would agree that they can do this on any ship.
