Brigadiers

Brigadiers is one of my favorite restaurants in London. The food is absolutely delicious and is my favorite Indian restaurants I’ve been to. You’ve gotta get the beef shin biryani - with no bread topper -, the cheese and onion bhaji, the paneer, and the cauliflower. The lamb chops are great, too.

For gluten free safety - they have an entire separate gluten free menu, have gluten free fryers, and are extremely aware on allergens. In my experience, the waitstaff are well trained, and are happy to walk you through their preparation procedures. They strike a great balance, in my mind, between looking out for you without being overbearing. They’ve claimed to be celiac friendly to me, though I’m not sensitive to cross contact so my experience may not be universal. I do feel comfortable eating here, though.

I will say for any of their mini sandwiches, their gluten free bread isn’t great. The waitstaff will tell you as much. Save your appetite for one of the other outstanding things in their menu.

Very detailed allergen menu. The first thing the server asked when we sat down was if anyone at the table had any food allergies or intolerances. Every time my food came out, they specifically said it was prepared gluten-free. LOTS of GF options (most of the menu is GF!). And on top of how attuned the restaurant was to allergies, the food was incredible. Everyone loved their meal. I specifically recommend the Indo Chili paneer lettuce cups—SO good. Highly recommend, can’t wait to come back.
