Went to Chai Pani and had a wonderful gluten free experience. The servers were knowledgable and there were many options. We had Kurkuri Bhindi Fries, Tiki Masala, Curry Chicken, and Momo Chicken. Delicious!

I was thrilled that the lunch buffet had clear GF markings and it was delicious. I agree that if cross-contamination is dangerous for you, start with the labeled foods and ask more questions.

Went to today for lunch and they had a buffet. I explained I had a wheat allergy (celiac) and couldn’t have cross contaminated food. She assured me that everything labeled GF which was 80% was completely gluten free. The food was absolutely delish. I am asymptomatic celiac so I do not know if it actually had gluten, the hostess seemed very knowledgeable and aware of my situation

There are MANY items on the menu labeled gluten free that are not gluten free. Anything fried (chaat ) is not gluten free due to shared fryers. I had to have a lot of back and forth with the person taking the order before she checked and found out it is not safe. I was told I could eat the uttapam, the grill is shared but I was literally the first person in the restaurant that day and they said they would clean it. I would not trust it otherwise as it does not seem like allergies are routinely communicated with the chef or that they care.
I ate the uttapam. I’m not very sensitive so I can’t tell if it was safe. I wouldn’t eat here again. I think it is irresponsible to label things gluten free unless the restaurant is willing to take cross contamination precautions.
No
Yes
The waiter and manager both came to help me find something I could eat. There were GF and vegan options, but I am also avoiding sulfites temporarily, so there weren’t many options that accommodated everything. They were very helpful though and took a picture of my list of restrictions to bring back to the kitchen for feedback. In the end I ordered two dishes that had a small amount of sulfites as those are extremely hard to completely avoid and are not an allergy for me. The food was delicious and I commend them for their patience.
They’ve changed their menu up a little bit and seem much more aware of cross contamination than in previous years. Our waitress let me know they would take extra precautions and I didn’t get sick. Also, their food is delicious!
Delicious naturally gluten-free chaat Including uttapam(crepes), chicken pakoras, okra fries, and kale fritters
Not celiac-friendly.
this place is great if you are *avoiding* gluten. however the totally gluten free selection is very limited.
delicious Indian street food. They don't have a dedicated fryer yet, but hopefully they will soon.
Yes
no guessing - gf and vegan both marked on regular menu! staff's friendly and the food is fantastic. local /organic sourced mostly - very fresh.
