Most restaurants usually have vegetarian alternatives, though the range
of alternatives can be somewhat narrow many places.

You'd find quite av few indian restaurants in Oslo, but not many
pakistani, if any. Don't know why, as there are quite a lot more
pakistani immigrants than indian in Oslo.
> Are there Indian spice shops where you can buy spices etc.
Yes, there are. Mostly concentrated in the Eastern part of the City
Centre.
> Do you gt fresh vegtables in Oslo during winter times?
Yes.
Observe that food prices in Norway are relatively high, as are general
wage levels, too.

Happy to be of assistance.

Easy, especially in etnic restaurants (Indian, Chinese, Viet/Thai)

That's probably because the owners think "Indian" sounds better than
"Pakistani", several of the "Indian"-restaurants are run by Pakistanis
:-)

Purely vegetarian restaurants:
Vegeta Vertshus (http://www.vegetar.com/vegeta/engl.html) "Norwegian style"
Krishnas Cuisine (http://www.krishnas-cuisine.no/index.php Norwegian pages
only) "Indian style"

Example: "Sultan" in Helgesens gate 18 (entry by Thorvald Meyers gate).A lot
cheaper (and better!) than the regular supermarkets.
They also have spices, but you may also find that in a lot of other shops in
the eastern part of Oslo's city centre.
