I'm always astounded at the fuss folks make when catering for someone who's vegetarian.
I've married into a Hindu/Buddhist family (and he's married into my Christian one) and cooking a vegetarian curry selection is no more effort than one that includes meat on the side. Plus courgettes and aubergines taste bloody gorgeous cooked like this, soft and buttery. if you leave out the dairy stuff like ghee, paneer, yogurt and the eggs then it's also vegan-friendly.
Even at a Nepalese equivalent of a 'greasy spoon caff' the menu just lists the dishes in a meat/non-meat selection, no separate list:
(from 2013 so prices have gone up a bit since then, but 140 NPR is about £1)
