Andaman is known for seafood, but vegetarian travellers are well catered for — especially in Port Blair and at mid-range hotels on Havelock. Planning ahead makes island dining smooth and enjoyable.
General tips for vegetarians
- Choose hotels with MAP/AP meal plans if you prefer structured vegetarian meals
- Inform resorts of dietary requirements at booking time
- North Indian and South Indian vegetarian dishes are widely available in Port Blair
- On Havelock, resort restaurants are often the most reliable option
- Carry snacks for long ferry journeys
Port Blair
The capital has the widest choice — pure veg restaurants, Gujarati/Rajasthani thalis, South Indian meals and veg-friendly cafés near Aberdeen Bazaar and MG Road areas. Ask your hotel for current local favourites as new outlets open regularly.
Havelock Island
Resort kitchens usually offer vegetarian pasta, Indian meals and breakfast options. A few standalone cafés serve veg burgers, pizzas and Indian snacks near the market area. Book half-board if you want predictable meals after beach days.
Neil Island
Options are limited — most visitors eat at their guesthouse or resort. Plan accordingly and communicate dietary needs in advance.
What to try
- Fresh tropical fruit — coconut water, pineapple, banana
- South Indian breakfast — idli, dosa, vada
- Resort thali meals with local vegetables
