Shalimar Pakistani Cuisine

Ate here one time based on other reviews. The staff appeared to be a bit confused on the difference between vegetarian dishes versus gluten free. However, they did take it seriously and answered all of my questions. I had the butter chicken which was excellent and I did not get sick.

Understood the severity of celiac disease and cooked my dishes separately from the rest of my party. Used a separate fryer as well. The papadam tested negatively on my Nima sensor.

I didn’t get sick. They said most everything is GF, but hard to know how serious they are about cross contamination etc. food was solid.

Absolutely some of the best Middle Eastern food I've ever had. Everything is very fresh and the papadoms are fresh baked and so crispy and delicious. We enjoyed every bite!

Most of their options are naturally gluten free. We had the butter chicken and one of the chicken curries. They were both SPECTACULAR. Ask for no Naan as it is made with flour. Check out www.MunchMiami.com for Miami's gluten-free options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Another tiny establishment with good food. This is a Pakistani Restaurant. They have a lot of dishes that do not need to be altered to be safe. Enjoyed the Tandoori Chicken with a very spicy green sauce. If you are staying nearby in an apartment, you will be more comfortable with take out. I was experiencing a bit of claustrophobia in there!

I presented the server with a GF card in Icelandic even though their English is flawless, I found this to be helpful regardless. Most everything on the menu is gluten free. The homemade nan is made in a separate area and does not come in contact with the food prep. I had the chicken tikka masala and was delicious, I could have eaten more.
