Celiac safety assessment and key features
Saffron Indian Cuisine is a warm, welcoming spot where the staff’s understanding of gluten-free needs genuinely shines, even though it’s not a dedicated GF facility. Servers are notably attentive—many celiacs mention how they’ll walk you through safe menu choices or even have the kitchen whip up something off-menu just for you. The kitchen doesn’t use gluten-free naan, but will happily sub in crispy lentil crackers and ensure curries and rice dishes are prepped with care. While it’s not the place for ultra-sensitive folks who need zero cross-contact, it’s one of those rare Indian restaurants where you actually feel heard (and not like a burden) when asking about gluten.
