Review of Indeblue

The food was absolutely delicious, timely and the service was friendly and well-meaning.

My concern here is the misnomer on menu of “gluten friendly”. It was my experience that this is a duplicitous labeling. If I may be literal, as we expect menus to be, something that is friendly to gluten holds no merit for a person whose body is averse to gluten. This is a misappropriation of “GF”.

We ordered as a table paying attention to the GF options. For starters we ordered papadam, paneer, spinach chaat and brussel sprouts all marked GF. No where was it mentioned they went into a fryer. The waitress we thought to be extremely helpful as she emphatically guided us to GF options, assured us she made a note for the chef & a dozen times confirmed that we made safe choices verbalizing that everything we ordered is gluten free.

We then shared 2 entrees lamb and shrimp.

By the end of the entrees- i started to feel sick. As we complemented the food at the end of our meal the waitress said in passing about the “flash frying”. 🛑 This detail negates any presumed safety for anyone on a gluten free diet.

I became violently sick on the way home & for hours following.

I called to the restaurant to clarify just how much i was exposed to.

My call was returned by a woman who in no uncertain terms assured me that nothing in the restaurant is gluten free. She stated that her waitress would never say anything is gluten free on their menu because she is well trained and there is a reason that the words “gluten free” do not exist on their menu.

Why then mislead with the GF misnomer?

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
