Vegetarian and Vegan Options at Dabba Street: The Complete Guide

ByMuzamil

Vegetarians do not get side-lined at Dabba Street. Three of the six proteins are meat-free, and they work across every format on the menu, from biryani to roti. Here is everything you can order.

Vegetarian Proteins

  • Handcrafted falafel.
    Crisp outside, soft inside, made from chickpeas. The standout vegetarian protein.
  • Indian-style fried tofu.
    Seasoned and satisfying, with a loyal following among regulars.
  • Oven-roasted vegetables.
    Light, colourful, and good on their own or paired with falafel.

Each one is available in the biryani (S$10.60), Dabba Bowl (S$11.50), Biryarito (S$8.90), pita (S$6.80), and roti (S$8.90).

Meat-Free Curries and Dips

  • Everyday dal.
    Lentil curry. Comforting and naturally meat-free.
  • Roasted bell pepper hummus.
    Chickpea-based and meat-free.
  • Lemon herb tahini.
    Sesame-based and meat-free.
  • Tzatziki.
    Yogurt-based, so vegetarian but not vegan.
  • Tikka masala.
    Typically made with cream, so vegetarian but not vegan. Recipes can vary, so ask if you are strictly vegan.

Best Vegan Combos

  • Falafel Dabba Bowl with roasted bell pepper hummus and lemon herb tahini.
  • Indian-style fried tofu Biryarito with everyday dal.
  • Oven-roasted vegetable biryani with lemon herb tahini.

Best Vegetarian Combos

  • Falafel pita with tzatziki. At S$6.80, it is also the cheapest meat-free meal on the menu.
  • Handcrafted falafel Biryarito with tikka masala.
  • Oven-roasted vegetable Dabba Bowl with tzatziki and everyday dal.

What to Double-Check

Vegan recipes can change, especially for sauces. If you are strictly vegan, ask the staff whether the tikka masala and any dressing contain dairy before ordering. The falafel, tofu, roasted vegetables, dal, hummus, and tahini are the safest bets.
