We went here today for the lunch buffet and it was DELICIOUS!! Everything was clearly marked and about 90% of it was GF! I loved that they had a GF alternative for naan (it was a crispy type cracker that was still delicious) and the veggies tempura was made with rice & chickpea flours. Nothing hurt my stomach! 👏 For those that get sick from any amount of cross contamination, this might not be best as they had GF right next to non-GF foods at the buffet.

I go to the buffet at least once a week and usually get rice, chicken tikka masala, and other things! Everything is labeled on if it is GF or not and it is delicious. Never had a reaction there.

Multiple mislabeled menu items, arrogant staff insisting they knew “all about celiac” then dismissing concerns about the single fryer, then proceeding to ask if rice is safe. The food was passable, the spiked mango lassi fabulous and portions enormous but eat there at your own risk.

Celiac friendly?

No

I used to be able to eat here all of the time but I got sick enough last time I went to the buffet that I haven't been back since, delicious food, such a loss.

Celiac friendly?

No

not celiac friendly. definitely not knowledgeable about gluten at all. I had to use the bathroom IMMEDIATELY it was embarrassing because I was in public... I really wanted to love this meal but I recommended not eating here if you are sensitive to gluten OR have Celiac's disease.

Celiac friendly?

No

I used to eat here all the time. A few years ago I gave them four stars. Because they were primarily gluten free. I am unsure what happened. ..but over the last couple of years, every time I ate there I would become very ill. I checked with the staff at one point to try to figure out what exactly was making me have the reaction. We thought we figured it out and I stayed away from the papadum and pankora. As I found out that they do not have a dedicated dedicated fryer anymore. However, I still had a bad reaction. We cooresponded back and forth via email. I was told that they don't know where I got the idea that they were gluten free or that they guaranteed that their food was gluten free.( it is posted everywhere on their Buffet line which dishes were supposed to be gluten free for one thing ). Also when I said the manager /owner assured me it was gluten free a few years back . The person who I correspond with was very unappologetic and very defensive. I suggested that if they were no longer going to guarantee that their product was Celiac friendly , that they post a disclaimer about their gluten-free status warning celiacs that it's not safe to eat there. be very wary eating here.

Celiac friendly?

No

if you are celiac, don't go here!! there is GF all over the menu, but there are no options that are not contaminated. we left after talking to the waitress and hearing that there was no way for them to accommodate our needs.

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered the Chicken Makhani to go and it was good, but definitely had a bad reaction to it.

Celiac friendly?

No

The lunch buffet is the bees knees! Everything is clearly labeled GF or not. I have Celiac and ate there with no problem except not a big enough stomach!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delish !!! AND FREE gluten-free app!! Well worth the money, I will definitely be coming back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good, but did not feel it was the most authentic tasting based on the many Indian restaurants in our area. Still good though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yummy!

Food was good. My waitress had celiac as well, so was a helpful guide. Only 2 appetizers and the bread/nan dishes were off limits. The waitress indicated that not many wheat-related items were fried in the frier, as most things with flour use chickpea flour. She said she can eat things fried there without a problem, but I am wary of that still. The hostess was clueless, and things aren't marked on the menu, but it was still a lovely and flavorful meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great buffet!! All was gluten free today, except the nan bread. Delicious!!
