Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

MasalaBay offers a rich array of naturally gluten-free Indian dishes, and it's a relief to see their menu explicitly flagging gluten-free and vegan options. You know what? I wish I could say there's a dedicated gluten-free kitchen or celiac-specific protocol in place, but the details just aren't there—so cross-contact is still a real concern, especially with all that fresh naan and roti being prepared daily. Staff encourages guests to alert them about allergies, and everything’s made to order, which gives some hope for safer preparation if you speak up. Still, if you’re highly sensitive or have celiac, ask detailed questions and don’t be shy about advocating for your needs—Indian food can be such a joy when you’re confident it’s safe!
