Extremely helpful staff. They discussed with me what options are really safe and which ones aren’t. I wanted to order something that was only gluten free but made in the same fryer, however, the friendly staff made it possible to do it in a separate fryer
Wonderful vegan thali platter! Every dish on the platter is delicious and unique. We always order extra roti as it only comes with one piece. It’s a great spot for sharing dishes and they can accommodate larger groups.
They also offer lots of gluten free options, and the celiac person in our group felt accommodated and felt good after eating (they are obviously careful with cross-contamination).
We'd spent 4 days in Niagara, staying centrally, searching for good value, tasty food without success (& getting ripped off for mediocre mulch). . until we found Moksha!
Jasmine was really friendly and professional, with good knowledge of gluten free options. . And the food was excellent. Best meal we had in Niagara by a long chalk, and up to the standards of the CN tower restaurant.
Would highly recommend. Also great value, 3 of us with drinks (including beer): mains, poppadoms, rice and nans and (discretionary) 20%tip, $80. Wish we'd found you sooner! Many thanks 🙏
N.B. It's difficult to understand some of the negative reviews based on our experience and perhaps makes one question their integrity / motive.
im pretty new to the city, and i was craving authentic dosa. a friend had recommended i try east india company and i was so happy to find a spot that not only offers delicious dosa but brunch!! the buffet was amazing (the lamb curry alone stole my heart) there is clear indication on the buffet for which dishes contain gluten or dairy (great for my dairy intolerant/celiac mom who rarely finds places that she can trust to eat at without risk) the restaurant is beautifully decorated, nice and bright and the service was outstanding - our server rheo was very attentive and friendly and everyone greeted us with a smile. we loved the ambiance and will definitely go back!
Tabule has always been my favourite restaurant, my top choice for lunch in the neighborhood.
The menu offers a variety of healthy options including gluten free items. The staff here are all pleasant and helpful especially Mina. I look forward to see her there every time.

I would give 50 Stars if I could for the most amazing experience we had with Udipi Place.
Mr Hubert D’Mello, the owner is an incredible human being and I was floored by his service, attitude and food. His restaurant has been in Toronto over 20 years and the food and service has always been impeccable. Living downtown I often frequented.
For my daughters wedding reception on the 17th of September 2022 we catered, a Live Dosa Station and other dishes from this humble yet iconic authentic South Indian restaurant.
From planing the menu, to the food tasting and pleasing all our food preferences & demands, Mr Hubert showed immense patience and understanding, even prepared a few dishes which were not on his menu to accommodate our Vegan dietary requirements.
Our venue required fire insurance and a small 10 pound propane tank, which Mr Hubert easily accommodated, without charging us any extra. ( he went and bought a new propane tank just for my event, amazing service👏🏻)
The day of the event went flawlessly with the arrival of Mr Hubert’s team who set up the the live Dosa grill and food.
We had 8 varieties of Dosas 😍 all vegan and gluten and nut free.
Samosas and Dal Vada ( specifically made at my daughters request) as starters. The tangy and spicy Rasam soup along with Bisibele Bhath.
For dessert their Chef specially made Moong Dal payasam which was sinfully delicious and yes Vegan 🙌🏻
We had a melange of guests from all corners of the world, each of whom found the food incredibly delicious. More so, nothing was left over from the buffet.
The food was perfect for all age groups as the dosas were made in the spot individually on requests of each guests. People landed up having more than a couple of dosas each, which shows how good the food was.
I had catered for 55 people but we had 60 turn up and yet the generous portions brought by Hubert and his incredible team sufficed.
I’m so grateful to have catered from Udipi Place as it left my guests satiated and happy.
Honestly when one hosts a big event, seldom people don’t give too much importance to the food( my observation attending many events ) for me I believe food is the way to peoples heart and when it’s served with so much love and care it’s outshines everything.
We all were blown away by the service beyond expectations by Hubert and Udipi Place.
Thank you so much for making our Big Day so memorable.
Had a lovely vegan and gluten free dinner with friends. Love the new dining room on Edinburgh road. They were even able to make the paneer dishes with tofu to make everything vegan!!! Highly recommend.
My partner and I tried masala trail for the first time and both of us are gluten free in our reservation they let us know ahead of time they had many options, and they did! We were very happy with the selection and the food was fantastic. Our server Moe was very helpful! We will be returning
What a gem! As someone who eats gluten-free and dairy (due to illness( it’s rare to find a place that delivers on both! and this restaurant exceeded all expectations. The curry was absolutely amazing: rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. You can tell everything is made with care and fresh ingredients. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Can’t wait to go back!
Serving staff were friendly and able to cater to both our dietary preferences. Notably were able to cater to my partner’s gluten free diet without any issues!
Great atmosphere and welcoming environment.
Recommend the thali and dosai dishes!
This is a must go restaurant for all, amazing food - Pad Thai is the best I have ever had - So many Gluten free options on the menu , Love this place , a definite add to the road trip map ❤️
This place is a lifesaver for gluten-free options! I had the cauliflower with rice, and it was both delicious and safe for my dietary restrictions. It’s so nice to have a place where the staff is knowledgeable about allergens.

Benares holds a special place in our hearts. It was the very first restaurant we ordered from on our first night living in Toronto, and now three years later it’s the place we chose for our last dinner in the city before moving to the suburbs. From day one, it’s been consistently delicious, comforting, and memorable.
We’ve ordered from Benares dozens of times and it has never disappointed. The portions are generous, the flavours are great, and the food is always satisfying and usually leaving us with enough for lunch the next day. Our go-to dishes are the butter chicken, chana masala, aloo gobi, pulao rice, pakoras with tamarind sauce, and garlic naan. They’re also incredibly accommodating of dietary needs - always happy to make my vegetarian dishes gluten free and vegan.
The staff are friendly, welcoming, and fast whether we’re ordering takeout or dining in (which we’ve also loved doing on occasion for the warm and cozy atmosphere). On our final night in Toronto, Aneesh made our order extra special and added a thoughtful complimentary addition that wasn’t technically on the menu - per my request!
Benares has been part of our Toronto story from beginning to end, and we’ll miss it dearly. If you’re in the area and haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favour and order!

Absolutely incredible. Have been at least 20 times in 2 years. Always fresh and incredibly tasty. My wife is celiac and allergic to wheat and it’s safe here
My first time here and I will definitely be back. We dined in, but there was a lot of takeout happening as well. People really love this place.
I was thrilled to learn that most things here are gluten-free. Absolutely delicious and lots and lots of options.

My first time at this restaurant
I have been driving by for so many years I decided to go in today and try some butter chicken, I also ordered matar paneer and some garlic Naan. I have been to at least 5 Indian restaurants in ottawa, every restaurant has a slightly different flavor on there food
Each one has a different take on there Naan bread, but all were very good, so was the butter chicken
The butter chicken at Indian express was excellent
I noticed that the chicken was very tender. all the other restaurants I have been to the chicken was dry. The Naan bread was very good, nice and fresh loved it, no complaints here. The matar paneer was also fresh and flavourful, the rice was also fresh. Indian express also makes fresh deserts on site
I tried a square with Mango and coconut WOW WHAT FLAVOR, They also had a gluten free chickpea flour ball with Cashews WOW the flavours just keep on coming
Had to get an assortment of desserts oh so good
After one bite you will know what I mean.
Well I have no complaints on the food at Indian Express, service was good, very happy will be back.
Excellent and friendly service. Great food and good portions at reasonable prices. Vegan and gluten free options. Would most definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Went in tired and exhausted after a day trip to Tobermory and came out powered up and super satisfied . My wife and I were glad we came to this place as the food was not only delicious , but felt home like. We had home made Dal makhani , Kadai paneer and gluten free roti . Also the nepalese chai was very good too. The place had a very pleasant ambience . Would definitely return again if an opportunity arises.
Oh yes, even the gulab jamun was delicious.
The most lovely and delicious experience! Ordered catering for 10 and every. single. dish was exquisite and the portions were so plentiful! The folks here were so helpful with my order and made great recommendations. Communication and delivery was beyond my expectations. Very well organized, packaged and labelled (really accommodated my gluten allergy). I would give 6 stars if I could.
My husband and I had dinner at Sundari’s Kitchen. The food was delicious, satisfying, and they also offer gluten-free options. We would definitely come back.
My wife has a gluten allergy and we are vegetarian. This place was amazing. Some of the best Indian food I've eaten. So many gluten free and vegetarian options and everything is labeled. Wish I lived closer to come to again
!!!Try the Onion Bhaji’s!!! Tasty Food and Kind People. Definitely my go too Canadian Indian Restaurant. I have been ordering food from here for 10+ years and I’ve never had any inconveniences or issues. The atmosphere when you walk in is warm and inviting. Not to mention it smells amazing the moment you walk in. The man at the counter/on the phone is always very nice and patient, he even takes the time to explain the menu items if need be. The restaurant/itself is clean and well kept. The food is consistently delicious, the sauces are always so creamy and everything is so deep/rich in flavour. They also have many options for dietary restricted, my spouse has celiac disease and has many options. You can tell they do not rush their food or cut corners in the kitchen. I give a solid 10/10 simply because they have been in business for 13 years and they have been consistent with their food, portion sizes and customer service since day one.
We've been coming here for several years. The food is consistently yummy and the service (especially the family who owns the restaurant) is truly lovely. I usually eat vegan and gluten free, and there are a lot of options here for me. They have lots of regular clients, but if you're new to the area, I highly recommend checking it out.
Second time here by to celebrate a family member’s birthday. Was as good or even better than first time and the first time was excellent!!!
Liam our waiter ( both times) made our lunch fabulous. He gave us all recommendations and helped order for the table of 6 plus ensured one guest who is celiac, could enjoy all her food too as well kept the ‘heat’ to a minimum for our tastebuds.
Food is excellent here, plentiful and so flavourful however Liam our waiter made all the difference.
This place is absolutely amazing!! Our server was Susma and she was so kind and helpful! I have a lot of food allergies (gluten free, dairy free, and more) and had many questions about the menu. Susma was so accommodating to help me find foods for my dietary needs. To top it all off, the food was beyond INCREDIBLE!!! We will definitely be back!!!
Nice and restaurant upstairs. All the tables had nice clean white linen tablecloths simply set. A very quaint atmosphere. The food was fresh hot and delicious. Lots of choices we ate from the buffet. We are gluten free and 97 percent of the buffet was gluten free. They were very knowledgeable about cross contamination ie same fryers. Totally recommend and can't wait to go back!!
We recently had a pleasant lunch buffet experience at Mumbai Masala Grill in Ottawa. The restaurant was clean and easy to find, with good service. We were particularly happy with the selection of gluten-free options available on the buffet.
While the overall food quality was average, some dishes stood out. The butter chicken was flavorful, and the vegetarian options were satisfying. The highlight of the buffet was definitely the tandoor chicken, which was delicious. However, it would be helpful if they replenished the tandoor chicken tray more frequently to avoid running out. The naan bread was a nice touch, brought fresh and hot to the table.
Overall, Mumbai Masala Grill offers a good lunch buffet option, especially for those seeking gluten-free Indian cuisine. While some dishes may be average, the highlights and attentive service make it worth a visit.
We had an amazing experience at khau gully for an annual client get-together. The service was fantastic — super attentive and friendly — and the team went out of their way to make the last night special, and even tailored dishes to accommodate a few guests with food preferences and restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, etc.) while still being flawless with the execution.
Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. You could really tell how much care went into the food and service.
Our clients were extremely impressed and everyone can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.
Our daughter was staying in Thornhill from out-of-town and was craving Indian food, so we tried Bombay Bhel. Food was amazing, butter chicken to die for and great chicken biryani...chicken in both dishes was SO tender. The onion pakoras, samosas and butter naan were all great....food was all very fresh and flavourful. Lots of gluten free options for her. The mango lassie was also a hit! Glad we found this place!

Food was super flavourful and the guy behind the counter was very kind and helpful, making sure to ask if it was our first time and helped us navigate the menu for dairy free and gluten free options. Will definitely be back!
The star of the menu here is the dosa—a gluten-free, crispy crepe made from lentils and rice that you don’t see nearly enough at Canadian Indian restaurants. Portions are generous and everything we tried was delicious, so definitely come hungry. Our server, Anu, was attentive and incredibly sweet. Highly recommend this spot.
First, we were seated promptly at 7 PM, but the evening quickly took a nosedive when the server informed us that they were *already* out of all appetizers. At 7 PM. For a restaurant that boasts an extensive menu, this was beyond disappointing and set the tone for what was to come.
Things only got worse when we noticed that items clearly labeled as "gluten-free" on the menu were, in fact, *not gluten-free.* This is not just misleading—it’s dangerous. As someone who has a serious sensitivity to gluten, I trusted the menu and paid the price. I ended up getting severely sick after the meal, ruining not only my night but several days afterward.
Adding insult to injury, they sneakily included a tip in the bill due to our party size (6 people) but failed to disclose this when presenting the check. They then tricked one of my friends into tipping a second time on top of the already included gratuity. This lack of transparency felt deceptive and unprofessional.
The food is AMAZING, the staff is so attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is lovely.
Edit : I was told everything I got was gluten free and I was really excited about that because I have celiac disease, but I got really sick after so I don’t believe everything was ☹️
Excellent service and food! The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive. I gluten free - they had great gluten free options and were so accommodating!
Very good food. Flavourful. Had tons of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Patio was out back and was lovely to not be in front of the main road. A little bit expensive.
