This is the prettiest restaurant. I can’t say enough about the beauty—wood carvings, exquisite doors. And then the food. Amazing.

Review
Although my server was not particularly knowledgable about Celiac issues, she checked with the kitchen and came back with clear information on what was safe to eat. All the curries are GF along with many other items in the menu. Most of the appetizers are not safe as there is no dedicated fryer. The food is terrific - I had Lamb Vindaloo which was rich and appropriately spicy. The coconut rice was perhaps the best I have ever eaten. Highly recommended but make sure they are aware you need to eat strictly GF.
