But you do see vegetarian options at non-vegetarian restaurants. That's the key. Just because a dish is vegetarian doesn't mean it can't be eaten by someone else.

As for the pasta vs. tofu option, we had previously criticized UA for it's bland, repetitive meals. Part of the risk in changing things up is that there's a higher chance for dissatisfaction with an option. That may be why there are three (3) choices now rather than two (2).

And if the item described as "tofu" were really paneer, I think a lot of vegetarians would be happier with than rather than bland pasta which is pretty much the de facto vegetarian option anywhere you go.
