Review of 5th Element Indian Restaurant

Most of the food is gluten free. Their menu marks a tiny proportion of options as gf but in reality, the vast majority of this place is fine even if unmarked on the menu. I pointed out my gluten issues to my server and she said she'd inform the chef but doesn't need to based off the way the food is prepared, gluten wouldn't touch it anyways. Just avoid things that obviously contain gluten like Naan and other breads and to be safe ask your server.

However - though most of the lunch buffet is gluten free, there's a very high chance of cross contamination by the other patrons with falling pieces of bread, serving utensils touching the wrong parts of the plate, etc. So I'd steer away from it (I ordered off the menu, came for dinner)

Overall it's delicious and I felt fine after my meal. The portions weren't huge but adequate and the food is very reasonably priced.
