What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Traditional Thali prepared gluten-free with rice and papadum as sides.
- Substitution of bread with gluten-free alternatives (e.g., chickpea-based chip-like substitutes or papadum) to keep the meal gluten-free.
- Dishes that are explicitly gluten-free on the menu, where items are clearly marked as such.
- Gluten-free portions of dishes brought out by the kitchen to accommodate celiac guests.
- Use of a gluten-free fryer or fresh oil for gluten-free items like poppadoms and certain fried sides.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is some inherent risk of cross-contamination.
- However, there is explicit evidence of precautions: labeling of gluten-containing items, staff awareness of celiac needs, and at least one report of a gluten-free fryer and fresh oil for gluten-free preparations.
- Several reviews emphasize telling staff about your celiac condition and verifying that a dish you order is gluten-free and prepared without cross-contact.
- Occasional notes that bread or naan could be present unless you specifically request a gluten-free version; a reminder to confirm with the server is prudent.
