Saffron makes gluten-free dining feel like less of a gamble and more of a celebration, thanks to its clearly marked menu and an impressive range of naturally gluten-free Indian dishes—think pillowy GF bread, rich curries, and masala dosas that actually taste like the real deal. But here’s the thing: while they shine when it comes to variety and flavor, their kitchen isn't dedicated gluten-free, and there's no detailed cross-contamination protocol spelled out. If you’re celiac, that lingering sense of 'what if?' can be tough to shake, especially with their own disclaimer that they can't guarantee items are completely allergen-free. Still, for those who are used to navigating shared kitchens and appreciate honest labeling plus genuinely delicious food, Saffron offers a rare chance to savor Indian classics without feeling left out—just be sure to have a candid conversation with your server and stick to the safest options.
