About this tool
Build a restaurant phrasebook in eight languages with ordering, dietary, allergy and payment phrases, script and romanisation.
This generator assembles a short restaurant phrasebook in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Japanese, covering getting a table, ordering, stating a dietary restriction, paying and thanking the staff. Each phrase is given in the native script with a plain romanisation written for an English speaker to read aloud, and a dietary profile — vegetarian, vegan, Jain, no pork or peanut allergy — narrows the list to the lines you will actually need. Output copies out as a printable card, a Markdown table or a CSV.

Every non-Latin phrase carries both the written form to show and a romanisation to say.
Vegetarian, vegan, Jain, no-pork and peanut-allergy profiles pick the right subset automatically.

ベジタリアンです, said as bejitarian desu. Be aware that vegetarian is not a widely understood category in Japan and dashi stock made from bonito appears in many dishes that look meat-free, so it helps to add 肉は食べません (niku wa tabemasen), I do not eat meat.
The bill, please, and where is the toilet, are needed on almost every visit, but the highest-value one for anyone with a restriction is the dietary sentence, because it prevents a problem rather than solving one. Learn to say it, and also carry it written down to show.
No. The spellings here are written so an English speaker reading them aloud lands close to the real sound, which is not the same as Hunterian, ISO 15919 or Hepburn romanisation. For study purposes use the native script column, which is standard.
No. Use it as a starting point only. Phrasing an allergy correctly is not the same as being understood in a busy kitchen, and shared fryers, stock and sauces are common sources of cross-contact. Carry a properly translated allergy card, confirm with staff, and speak to a medical professional about carrying appropriate medication when travelling.
