Review


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.
