Himal Chuli is one of those cozy spots where the warmth of the staff really shines, and honestly, that's half the battle when you're gluten-free. While the menu leans toward naturally gluten-light Tibetan fare and the servers are often described as attentive and knowledgeable, there's no dedicated gluten-free kitchen—and a Nima test on a labeled dish has come back positive in the past. For celiacs, that's a real gut check (literally and emotionally). If you’re highly sensitive, you’ll want to ask detailed questions and trust your instincts—some regulars have had good luck, but cross-contact remains a genuine concern here.
