Really great Malaysian food. Lots of GF items on the menu. Many are a cross contamination risk due to shared fryers and woks, but still many safe choices. Staff were knowledgeable.

The food was good but unfortunately there were very few options. I don’t eat meat and the only items I could have without risking cross-contamination were the paneer satay and the pineapple curry. This is a family-style place where they recommend a few of the dishes to be shared. I wished I could have done that because it was a lot of pineapple to eat for a main meal. Very tasty though.

Knowledgeable staff! I felt very safe eating here. Tasty, too. Was able to select “celiac friendly” take out items.

There is no gluten free menu. The staff seemed well educated. But there was only a couple things on the menu that considered gluten free. It was good, but not much for celiacs..

One of the best gluten free experiences I’ve had. The staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination, substitutions, shared water/oil, etc. Almost everything could be made in separate water/oil and was delicious!

Delicious, delicious Malaysian food with clearly knowledgeable staff. Their online ordering platform for delivery specifically lists “Celiac option” for dishes that aren’t GF but can be made so, and most of the menu was available GF. I called to ask about Celiac options for delivery, and they offered to email me a menu that clearly referenced not just GF but where there were cross-contamination possibilities for Celiacs. Food was spicy and tasty, and there were tons of safe options. Clearly knowledgeable, safe place with delicious food (lots of GF, veg options too!).
