The staff was very welcoming and friendly. They gave GF option to all dishes. However we tested Mattar Panner, Kofta makhni, and GF naan to all test positive with Nima. The vegetable biryani did not test positive so had that. Not celiac safe. Food is delicious and if it wasn’t for CC I would rate more.

This place is amazing! Almost everything on the menu is gluten free. And the food is really good. When i asked about cross contamination they stated the naan is prepared in a separate area. They have gf naan but it is cooked in the same oven. When i went there to pick up my food i double checked it was all gluten free and the owner had me come look in the kitchen area to see that the food is prepared separately. I go here almost every week and never get sick. I'm very sensitive to cross contamination.

This place was amazing in its old location, and I ate here all the time. Something must have changed about their cooking procedure in their new location by Von’s. I got exposed to gluten and got quite sick—good for non-celiacs though.

Curries are all safe. Buffet has been great. Just avoid the gluten-containing options, which are not always labeled, but are obviously glutenous (such as fritters).

Very good food! The waitress assured me that everything was gluten free except for the regular naan bread. Surprisingly they had a GF naan which was amazing! to be honest I felt a bit tired after but no violent reaction.. and I'm pretty sensitive to cross contamination

Very Knowledgeable staff, basically all the menu except the wheat flour naan breads are GF. They did have a GF naan as welling required. Loads of choice and very tasty. They also are very knowledgeable about Cricket which was great for us as we come from England.

Great family owned restaurant. Been a SLO town favorite for twenty years. The best GF flat bread I ever had. No GF menus as 95% of the food is GF!
