Can I get vegetarian food in India?

Yes, India is a paradise for vegetarian food. Vegetarian food is the "norm," and if a restaurant offers meat or fish, it is labeled as "Non-Veg." Almost all restaurants clearly indicate whether they are vegetarian ("Veg") or non-vegetarian ("Non-Veg"), or there are separate menus. About 40% of Indians follow an exclusively vegetarian diet.
