Best Gluten Free Indian in Columbus

New India Restaurant really understands the gluten-free struggle—there’s something comforting about seeing so many dishes clearly labeled as gluten-free right on the menu. The staff here are attentive and quick to address celiac concerns, and nearly every curry, biryani, and tandoori dish is marked safe (though watch out for the breads—they’re off-limits). It’s not a dedicated facility, so there’s always that lingering worry about shared kitchen spaces, but the team’s willingness to answer questions and flag cross-contamination risks goes a long way. For anyone craving bold Indian flavors without the gluten gamble, this spot feels like a small victory—just be sure to double-check with staff if you’re highly sensitive.

Indian Oven stands out for its genuinely welcoming approach to food allergies, and you can feel the care in every conversation with staff—they actually encourage questions, which is such a breath of fresh air. Nearly every menu item (except the breads) is labeled gluten free, so you can savor vibrant curries, creamy dals, and aromatic biryanis without second-guessing every ingredient. That said, the kitchen isn't 100% gluten-free and there's no mention of dedicated prep areas or written celiac safety protocols, so those especially sensitive to cross-contact should ask detailed questions before ordering. Still, if you're craving North Indian comfort food with thoughtful allergen awareness and a hearty side of hospitality, this spot deserves a place on your Amarillo short list.

Haveli Bistro brings a gorgeous spread of Indian flavors to downtown Columbus, with clear menu labels like (GF) for many tandoori and curry dishes—honestly, that's already a breath of relief for anyone navigating gluten. But here's the rub: while gluten-free options abound, there's no mention of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, separate prep areas, or any formal cross-contamination protocols. With breaded and wheat-based items sharing menu space (think samosas, naan, fried starters), celiac diners will need to be extra vigilant and communicate directly with staff. If you're used to reading menus with a side of anxiety, you'll appreciate the transparent labeling, but this isn't the kind of place where you can fully let your guard down.
