Tharavadu Restaurant

They have recently changed their menu meaning items on the menu are not marked as gluten free. I visited in August 2023.

I spoke to staff and one said they could do certain dishes gluten-free and no cross-contamination, another said it would be gluten-free but have some gluten in it (figure that one out!). I decided to trust the first member of staff. The food was okay but not as good as it was years back. Given the lack of staff knowledge and average food I won't be returning.

Had dinner here tonight, at least half of the menu is stated as gluten free and lots of vg and v options. I had the fried lentil donuts for starters which were delicious! I was told they would be cooked in different oil, but they couldn't guarantee complete gluten free from cross contamination in the kitchen. Really enjoyable meal, would recommend!
