Ambrosia India Bistro

The food was excellent and the workers were able to point out what was safe and what was not on the menu. They let me know that the cheese for the saag paneer was fried in the shared frier, so none of the dishes with fried cheese were celiac safe, but most of the other main dishes were.

Anything fried is contaminated by the samosas, so stay away from pakoras, papadums etc... Otherwise, only the naan is off-limits. We had different curries and loved them all. They were not extremely spicy, which allowed us to taste the different flavors layered in each sauce. Loved it!

We ate at different restaurants in Monterey and this was by far my favorite! Basically everything that wasn’t in the bread section of the menu is gf!

Celiac friendly?

Be careful. Got glutened here because one server was sure their pappadum was GF. The main server/manager corrected this after we had some! Ugh. Food was great but make sure you talk to the manager
