Masalawala & Sons

The menu is confusing but servers are knowledgeable and happy to help. There are great GF options on the menu! Basically:

- All the dishes that are marked GF are GF, except for the coconut prawn one, which has GF ingredients but is cooked in a coconut that’s sealed with bread - The biryanis are GF but are also cooked in the bread-sealed coconut, yet they aren’t (misleadingly) marked as GF like the prawns are - Several other dishes are GF except that they’re served with bread on the side, so they aren’t marked GF on the menu

I was able to eat very well here with my non-GF partner. We shared one dish that was marked GF and one that wasn’t because it came with bread on the side, but the waiter assured us that the dish itself was GF. I didn’t get sick! And the food was absolutely excellent. They need to fix their menu, but the waiters know what’s up.

Their menu is very misleading. Don’t get fooled by half the menu being gf - it just means that there is no gluten-containing ingredients in the dish. The tiger prawn dish which is labeled Gf comes in a coconut that is sealed with a ring of dough! There is no dedicated fryer.

If you have celiac - you have to be very explicit about it and ask the server. In my experience, there’s a chicken appetizer and 1-2 entrees that are for those with celiac
