Great gluten free Naan bread and the curries were all gluten free. We really enjoyed a Butter Chicken, Lamb Saag, Lamb Rogan Josh and Prawn Korma. We’ll definately be back!

Great food with great cross contamination practices, separate friers, etc (tho nearly entire menu is already gluten free). Great service too.

Server was knowledgeable about Celiac and cross-contact. Almost all dishes can be made gluten free and all their curries are naturally gluten free. They have a separate fryer for GF menu items.

This place needs more love. I’m a very sensitive celiac and has a great experience. I let the waiter know I had celiac and the owner of the restaurant came over to let me know everything would be gluten free and avoiding cross contamination. They have separate fryers and a separate tandoor oven. I will be back again soon.

I ordered takeout and even though they were busy they took the time to find someone to call me back to go over the gluten free and dairy free options. Great customer service made even better by the delicious food- dairy free saag aloo, gluten free dairy free naan and chicken pakora. Naan was amazing, and saag. Pakora didn't quite taste fresh but would've been good fresh out of the fryer. I used to go to lotus pre going gluten/dairy free and am glad their new options didn't disappoint.
