Best Gluten Free Indian in San Jose

Curry Roots Catering stands out for its clear commitment to making their curries gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free—something you don’t stumble across every day, especially in Indian cuisine. They highlight years of recipe development with top chefs and a focus on allergen safety, which is music to a celiac’s ears. However, I wish they went a step further and spelled out their cross-contamination protocols or whether they use a dedicated gluten-free kitchen; that missing detail leaves a bit of room for concern. Still, if you’re craving bold, home-style Indian flavors with an emphasis on allergen awareness, Curry Roots is one of those places that feels like it’s genuinely trying to welcome everyone to the table—even if you’ll want to ask a few extra questions before ordering.

Mehak of India delivers a vibrant range of North Indian classics, but when it comes to celiac safety, things get murky fast. There’s no mention—anywhere—of gluten-free protocols, separate prep areas, or even basic allergy handling, which can leave you feeling a little uneasy if you’re used to scanning for those telltale signs of understanding. Many menu items use wheat-based flour (think samosas, naans, and battered appetizers), and while some curries or rice dishes might be naturally gluten-free, the shared kitchen and absence of clear cross-contamination safeguards mean you’d have to play 20 questions with the staff at every turn. Honestly, it’s not the spot where you can truly relax if even a crumb could ruin your night.
