Thai cuisine (my favorite cuisine, even above Indian) can do without meat.
Their curries (green,red) and flat noodle dishes (pad ki mow, pad see ew) work well with protein substitutes. Though, a certain richness will be lacking.
Vietnamese cuisine also kind of works if you know how to make a good veg stock. My vegan fried basically lives out of a local Vietnamese place.
Chinese stir fries can be made any way you like. Again, you will need to be a good cook to get add sufficient richness and umami to a veg only stir fry, but with a good base of chinese spices, the sky is the limit.
You may see a trend here. Any cuisine that relies on spices to impart flavor to the dish, can be easily ported over to a veg only format.
Western dishes depend on leveraging the innate flavors in the ingredients, and veggies don't fare quite as well in that regard.
honorary mention: (cuisines that taste great veg, but do get a huuuge boost when meat is added)
* Middle eastern falafel-hummus-salad based cuisine (these are no normal salads. Huge variety in salads here)
* Mexican ( treat it like a Subway with better ingredients. Most veg Indians that I know of, live off of Subways anyways. We are hard wired to like Rajma Chawal...so mexican feels like home)
