Best Gluten Free Indian in Dallas

Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant & Bar isn’t a dedicated gluten-free spot, but the staff’s knowledge around celiac needs stands out. If you let them know ahead of time, they’ll even make gluten-free naan or missi roti from scratch—how often do you hear that? The kitchen is happy to explain ingredients and swap out dairy or gluten as needed, and regulars with celiac report feeling safe and satisfied (which, honestly, is half the battle when you eat out). Still, it’s a shared kitchen, so cross-contact is possible—best for those comfortable with informed staff but not for the ultra-sensitive.

Mughlai Fine Indian Cuisine stands out for its clearly labeled gluten-free menu and staff who understand the anxiety celiacs carry into every meal—something you can sense the moment you ask about safe options. There's genuine care here, with servers and even the owner often stepping in to explain which curries and desserts are safe for those of us dodging wheat at every turn. While the kitchen isn't dedicated gluten-free, their transparency about shared fryers and potential cross-contact is refreshing, and many curries and rice dishes can be enjoyed without fear—just steer clear of fried appetizers and let them know your needs upfront. It’s not the holy grail of celiac safety, but for a flavorful Indian meal where you feel seen and heard, Mughlai offers comfort (and a mean Chana Masala) you just don’t find everywhere.

Kalachandji’s is a Dallas vegetarian landmark where the buffet line tempts with vibrant, clearly marked gluten-free choices—think fragrant dals, pillowy rice, and crisp pakoras that are naturally safe for most. Every dish is prepared with fresh produce, and the kitchen is refreshingly upfront about allergens, flagging gluten and dairy right on the daily menu. However, it’s not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there’s always that lingering worry about cross-contact for those of us who react to even a crumb. Still, if you’re comfortable with well-labeled options in a mindful kitchen (and you double-check with staff), this place can feel like a rare oasis—but celiacs should approach with care.
