Pakwan Restaurant

Feb 2023: Revising this earlier review: I'm now less certain about consistency of the GF offerings here. Sometimes it's fine, but a couple of times recently we've been glutened even when ordering the exact same things. Some staff are helpful, others are clearly uninformed. The fryer is not gluten free, and of course they sell bread, so I think they just have inconsistent issues with cross contamination.

Original review: This is one of my favorite South Asian restaurants in the city, with amazing flavors. Some of the menu is marked gluten free, but actually even more dishes are gluten free if you ask the staff, who are pretty helpful. Generous portions too.

Great prices and most of its gluten free. Staff isn’t very knowledgeable in gf, as the cashier had to check menu to see if naan bread was gf despite me repeatedly telling her it isn’t.

That being said, I haven’t gotten sick there and it’s become our favorite local spot!
