Celiac Safety Score

55
Moderate Safety

Bay Leaves Indian Cuisine offers a tempting spread of classic Indian favorites and proudly lists 'gluten free options' among its food types, which is always a hopeful sign for those of us navigating celiac. But here's the thing—while the menu nods to gluten-free choices, there's no mention of separate prep spaces, cross-contamination protocols, or chef training in allergy safety. And with naan bread (definitely not gluten-free) being highlighted as a house specialty, you might find yourself anxiously double-checking with staff about shared surfaces. If you're celiac, you'll want to come armed with questions and maybe a backup snack, just in case your gut tells you something's off.
