Indian & Pakistani menus -- frequently asked questions

Why do some Indian restaurants price a 'thali' as one item?

A thali is a traditional assorted platter (multiple curries, rice, bread, dessert) bundled at one price, generally cheaper per-dish than ordering everything individually.

What's the price difference between a vegetarian and non-vegetarian curry?

Non-vegetarian curries (chicken, lamb, goat) typically cost more than vegetable- or paneer-based curries, reflecting the higher cost of the protein.

Is naan usually included with a curry order or charged separately?

Almost always charged separately -- bread (naan, roti, paratha) is treated as its own menu category rather than bundled with curry dishes.
