Top 10 Gluten Free Indian Restaurants

Caution

If you live with celiac, Naan On Devon & Grill is a bit of a gamble. There's no mention anywhere of gluten-free options, let alone kitchen protocols or allergy training—plus, wheat-based ingredients like naan, parathas, and wheat/barley in the haleem are scattered across the menu. Even the dishes that seem naturally gluten-free, like grilled meats or rice plates, likely share prep and cooking spaces with gluten-heavy items. Honestly, I wish I could recommend it, but the risk of cross-contact here feels much too high for those of us needing strict gluten avoidance.
