Tarka Indian Kitchen is a breath of fresh air for gluten-free diners craving vibrant Indian flavors, with a menu where most dishes are clearly marked gluten-free—think creamy curries, kabobs, and fragrant biryanis served over fluffy basmati rice. The staff is consistently described as knowledgeable and celiac-aware, often accommodating special requests and ensuring naan is kept far from gluten-free plates. While the kitchen isn’t dedicated gluten-free, several locations now offer a separate fryer for gluten-free items, and there are reports of a designated prep space for celiac orders. Still, cross-contact remains a possibility due to shared equipment and the restaurant’s own allergen disclaimer, so it’s wise to ask questions each visit. If you’re longing for approachable Indian food with honest labeling and a team that listens, Tarka could feel like a small victory—but ultra-sensitive folks should keep their guard up just in case.
