Tasty food, lots of gf options and very knowledgeable staff familiar with celiac. Waiter cautioned that gf options on menu that were fried were in a shared fryer so he recommended avoiding them.

Had an excellent experience here. The staff was super knowledgeable and friendly! Shout out to Paul he was able to answer all of our questions and took the concern further by asking additional questions about allergy concerns we did not ask about/bring up. He was also a very attentive server. Our food was super tasty and I look forward to going back. We got the Dal Fritters (a must try!!), Chicken Biryani and Mango Pineapple Chicken.

Delicious authentic food and great and helpful staff! The owner even chatted with us. Gf is clearly marked and I could eat almost everything on the menu. Run, don't walk to Cholanad! It's some of the best Indian food you'll ever eat!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that most everything on their menu was gf (no menu, but the waiter helped by pointing out the couple of things that weren't safe) and df! I got a dosa, which was great!

Do yourself a favor and get a dosa. Delicious, reasonably priced, and naturally GF.
