Celiac safety assessment and key features
Spice Garden Indian Cuisine feels like that rare spot where the flavors sing and the staff genuinely want you to enjoy your meal—gluten-free or not. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, the menu boasts a wide range of naturally gluten-free Indian classics (think dosas, curries, rice dishes) and servers are reportedly knowledgeable and attentive about celiac safety when asked. Still, there’s no explicit gluten-free labeling on the menu and no mention of written cross-contamination protocols, so communication with staff is essential for peace of mind. If you’re comfortable having a thorough conversation about preparation, this is one of Tucson’s more promising options for adventurous celiacs craving South Indian fare—just don’t let your guard down completely.
