🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Dosas (masala cheese dosas) and idlis have been highlighted as friendly GF choices in multiple reviews.
  • Eggplant dish with brown rice has been cited as a gluten-free option that can be enjoyed without gluten exposure.
  • Dal (lentil-based dish) was specifically noted as GF in a test, providing a concrete example of a gluten-free item.
  • Tandoori chicken and pork vindaloo were mentioned among GF-friendly meals in a recent account.
  • Gluten-free desserts such as cardamom brownies have been called out as safe GF options.
  • A note from a reviewer stated that “the whole menu is GF except breads,” implying broad GF coverage beyond just a few items, with breads being the notable gluten-containing exception.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which elevates the importance of strict cross-contamination controls.
  • Some early notes indicate gluten contamination risks in cooking oil, though this was an older report and may not reflect current practice.
  • Several reviews mention that breads are gluten-containing, and there is at least one account noting different kitchens for breads compared to other dishes, which can be a mitigating factor but is not a guarantee of zero cross-contact.
  • Fried items may share fryers, according to a diner who did not confirm a dedicated fryer; dynamics can vary by preparation and timing.
  • A diner suggested that you may need to flag allergies with servers to ensure safe handling and confirm what’s GF on any given visit.
