What a tasty take on Indian fast food. Affordable too. Almost everything is gluten free and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I’ve never been glutened. The beautiful wife and I eat there often.

Amazingly tasty spin on quick food Indian style. Love the roasted veggies. Everything is cooked well. The sauces top it all off nicely...spicy mango is my favorite

Just about everything is GF, and it is all labeled as such. Staff will add a GF comment onto the order as well, and verbally remind the kitchen. Best of all, it’s all very good food and I’d eat here whether I had to have GF or not.

Choolah Indian BBQ is a quick service Indian restaurant. Although the kitchen is not gluten free, there are naturally gluten free options on the menu and they label your order as an allergy. The chicken tikka masala is pretty good.

Everything is safe except for the Maan, and the people who plate and make your food don't even touch it. The lentils are yummy.

Have eaten here twice now and have had no issues whatsoever. I’ve gotten the chicken tikka masala bowl with half white and half brown rice, very good. Menu online clearly states what is and is not gluten free. I know there’s dine in options available but I’ve only ever ordered online. I’ll be back!

I have celiac and I'm very sensitive. Twice I tried the chicken tikka masala with rice and both times I had a reaction. It wasn't severe but it was very obvious there was some cross contamination. The food is sooo delicious, unfortunately I can't eat there though and you should definitely proceed with caution if you have celiac disease. Such is life in a shared kitchen :(
