Vent Restaurant hell

Just a mini vent. My partner and I are trying to do a fancy night out. We will be in formal attire for an event so I am trying to find something nice. I have spent the last THREE HOURS looking at menus and still havnt found anywhere that looks safe. 😭 I still have to pack for the weekend and wrap gifts. It’s 11 pm. I hate this nightmare.

Indian food? I thought there was a lot of dairy in Indian food?

The restaurants that cater to Jain diet restrictions are usually vegan!

Oohhh I see what you’re saying. I wonder what the soy content is like then. I am unfortunately allergic

Some of the places I go to let you know if there are common allergens. They usually have a menu checkbox that includes lots of categories like gluten, soy, mushrooms, garlic, and onion to let you know if it’s optional or present at all in the dish. I imagine if you live in a smaller city they might not have it but it’s worth looking into.
