Review
We live a couple of hours away, and we make it a point to stop here every time we come to Branson. There are Indian restaurants in our area, but none are as good as this one. We have come many times, and our oldest son, who is celiac and has issues with dairy, has never been sick. They don’t have a separate menu, but there are very few items on the menu other than the naan that have wheat in them. The dairy is actually a bit more of an issue. We use ghee at the house, but they have always been very careful to point out anything that might be a problem. Fantastic food and no worries about food safety. My particular favorites are the vindaloo, Chana masala, and mixed grill. My wife will hurt you to get to the Chicken Korma. My celiac son really likes the Chicken Jalfrezi and papadum with tamarind sauce.

Review
I tend to be pretty free with my Indian food, since most flours, outside of Naan bread, are bean or rice based. I didn't actually get glutened that I could tell, because my symptoms for glutening are distinct. But, both my sister and I, who is not gluten-sensitive, experienced stomach upset and a dependence on bathroom access all afternoon/evening after our visit. The food itself was good enough: nothing exceptional, but not terrible. It was refreshed regularly enough. It appeared clean, but the selection was small for a buffet and the restaurant seemed crowded, even aside from the potential gluten-free aspect, I wouldn't go back. Nothing stood out as worth it, and the expense ($15/buffet + Indian tea) was certainly too much for what was available.
Celiac friendly?
