I attended restaurant week and they had an item on the menu that was marked gluten free but actually wasn't with the ingredients they listed (malt vinegar). They apologized and said they would fix the menu. Otherwise , food was ok.

We had an incredible experience at Veda. We were asked right when we were seated if we had any food allergies, and they showed us what was safe to eat (clearly marked) on the menu.

We had 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 cocktails, and ordered 2 desserts to go (we were so full!!) and the prices were so reasonable!

The service was great, they were so attentive but did not rush us.

The food was STELLAR!

Ate here once. No gluten issues but I thought it was only average in quality and overpriced for it.

The food here was delicious, but I unfortunately got quite sick after eating here. I'm very sensitive to cross contamination though, so your experience may be different.

I think I might have had better luck if I'd stayed away from the frier, though.

Food was delicious, but they modify the traditional Indian dishes, so you must tell your server you are gluten free. My chicken biryani was labeled GF on the menu, and I typically order Indian food without issues or talking to the server because much of a traditional Indian menu is naturally gluten free. Here, my biryani came in a naan-lined bowl. I sent it back immediately, explained I was gluten free and they quickly brought out a serving of biryani in a regular bowl. I am celiac and very sensitive to cross contamination, and I had no reaction, so they do know what they are doing.

No dedicated fryer. Be careful and ask- most stuff labeled gf was actually fried.

70+% of the menu is gluten free. High-end Indian cuisine. Happy hour from 5-7PM. Elevator access from street level to 1st. floor to avoid steps. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was incredible.
