Delicious family dinner. Very knowledgeable server. They inquired about allergies upon checking in. Then my server clarified if I'm GF by choice or necessity. When I told him necessity, he then asked if I'm ok with cross contact. When I said no, he directed me to their online menu (the paper GF menu includes items with the possibility of cross contact). The items with no cross contact were considerably fewer than the other menus, but I had no trouble finding something I wanted. I ended up with the paneer and the masala shrimp and basmati rice. All were delicious! I had wanted dessert and ordered it but the waiter cautioned that the dessert prep area is right by the bread. I appreciated how careful both the waiter and the kitchen were. It made for a wonderful night out.

I’m gluten free and dairy free. We went for dinner on a Saturday - waited 1.5 hours to get a table. Overall, food was good. Quite spicy for me (admittedly I’m a wimp with spice) and there was no “level” you could pick for spice. They seem to take allergies really seriously, which I SUPER appreciated. So far, I seem fine and everything for me was tagged with an allergy pick.

Lovely vibe, nice staff, good food. Unsure about GF safety but I think it was ok? When I said I needed the GF menu, the server asked if a little bit of gluten was ok. I said no, I’m celiac, and they said there’s no actual gluten in the GF menu, but there’s gluten “around” so there’s risk of cross contamination.

Gluten-Free at Dishoom
Chicken tandoori and roasted veggies were flavorful, delicious and reasonably priced.

Very knowledgeable and accommodating with Gluten Fee menu. They couldn’t commit to avoiding cross contamination, but the waiter shared which items were prepared far from items with gluten and had an iPad with updates on items where suppliers changed and there was higher risk. Delicious food, great cocktails, lovely ambience, live jazz, and no reaction after eating there! Get there 45 mins to an hour before you want to eat because they do not take bookings.

So careful, even about cross contamination. Most sauces Gf, many sides (had spicy corn). Chicken curry was incredible. So tasty and lots of options.

Delicious food! When you go there ask the waiter for a gluten free menu and also ask them to bring their allergy matrix! Most of the items on the gluten free menu are not celiac safe so the allergy matrix is a must for avoiding cross contamination. I recommend the mattar paneer and the corn.

This was amazing! They have a dedicated gf menu which is full of options. No gf naan. Very very good. The rest of the table was not gf, and they raved above dinner. The alcohol menu has non gf liquor on it, so be aware.

As others have noted, the waiter recommended ordering from only three dishes and rice. Nothing grilled, no salads either. One single vegetarian dish without CC. The food was tasty and I felt very safe, just wish their “gluten free menu” made this clearer so we weren’t told no to everything we planned on ordering. There are probably other restaurants with just as good Indian in the area, more dishes actually gf, and a shorter wait for a table.

VERY knowledgeable staff and kitchen. There is a separate gf menu, however it is really a menu for gluten avoidant people. There was only one meal (the mutton pepper fry curry) that was recommended as safe for a Celiac. Disappointing to not have the options as advertised but very grateful for how informated and communicative the staff was, and the mutton was fantastic. Waiter offered an ice cream on the house since he knew that was prepackaged and would be the only safe option for me.

Very elegant Indian restaurant. They have a separate gluten free menu and they do their best to avoid contaminations. However, food is prepared in the same kitchen. Definitely one of the best places for gluten-free Indian dinners!

Was provided with a gluten free menu upon request and asked about any other food allergies. I came here for lunch and while there was an hour wait the food was delicious - would definitely come back. Great place for a group.

Staff are very knowledgable and helpful. Gluten free menu plus an allergen matrix to be doubly sure it is coeliac appropriate. Staff confirmed everything with the kitchen. Food comes out clearly marked and the staff care about getting it right.

Great choice of gf food. Separate gf menu. Staff very knowledgeable. They did say they can’t 100% guarantee any cross contamination but this seems to be becoming the norm in restaurants nowadays. No ill effects and believe me I am super sensitive

Just phenomenal - this location especially. Lots of GF options, waitstaff confirmed Celiac vs intolerance and flagged which items had “may contain” or cross-contact concerns, staff verbally indicated “gluten free” when my food came out, and the food itself was delicious. Bonus points for excellent service! Staff really went above and beyond at this location compared to the other Dishoom locations, where we got a bit of gruffness.
