Masala Art

This restaurant has a lot of items on their menu marked as gluten free but it’s NOT safe and can’t be trusted.

I wanted to order the Aloo Bonda which is potatoes made with chickpeas batter but the waitress wanted to ask first if it was safe because she thought they fried it in a common pan. She asked the manager, came back and said it “should be fine”, but then asked if I wanted to speak to the manager. I said yes, but he apparently didn’t want to as I saw her speaking with him but then she went to the kitchen without him coming over. She came back from the kitchen and said I “probably shouldn’t”. So I skipped it.

However, I did order the chicken tikka masala (murg tikka lababdar) and the missi roti bread (made from chickpea flour), both marked GF and both the waitress said I should be “100% ok” with. Both were mediocre and their rice has an odd flavor that no one liked at our table.

Unfortunately, I got glutened….very sick after two hours and was sick for the next 18 hours. Overall, this place was a bad experience and a danger zone.

Ordered this to be delivered to my hotel and it was delicious. Got the chicken biryani, saag paneer, and the chickpea roti. Only thing to note is the saag paneer did not come with plain rice. It wasn’t a problem for me since I could dip the roti in it but definitely would have been a bummer if I hadn’t had the roti!

So good! Server is able to point out the many gluten free items, or will check with the kitchen. They even have chickpea roti.

Really good Indian food and the owner was helpful and knowledgeable about gluten allergies. My daughter with celiac ate several of the dishes and didn’t get sick.
