Top 15 Gluten-Free Indian Spots to Explore in San Francisco

This is the best Indian I have had in SF so far. They also have excellent gluten free naan and an extensive gluten free menu!

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE GARLIC NAAN OF ALL THE LAND!!! Oh my…this place is a GODSEND for us gluten intolerant people! (Celiac here) Finally able to have garlic naan after so many years. It was glorious, especially paired with some butter chicken. Not to mention, majority of the menu is GF friendly! The salmon pakora was a nice surprise, super flavorful & interesting texture! The free papadam with the sweet sauce reminded me of fried wonton and sweet/sour sauce, which I also haven’t had in ages. I don’t think I need to tell you this, but do not skip out on the mango lassi!!! Yes it is neon orange but it’s their homemade recipe using Kesar mangoes! It’s got right balance between sweet, tangy, and tart. Perfect pairing to calm the spice ☺️ Everything was absolutely divine and well-priced. We even ordered a GF pesto garlic naan to take home, so worth. Servers were graciously nice and attentive. Ambiance—my only complaint was the front of the restaurant kind of smelled like cat pee 😅 thankfully there is a quaint dining room in the back, tucked away from that/the street! Regardless, I would bring all my friends here. Staff was super friendly and accommodating to the couples and large groups dining in, and the menu is super inclusive. I appreciate establishments like Om Indian and I would definitely travel to eat it. Such a special place to me/us GF eaters!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In all areas I’ve been coming to Amber for over 13 years, and it remains one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the Bay Area. When I lived here, I was a regular, and even now, I make it a point to visit whenever I’m in town. The ambience is inviting, the seating is comfortable, and the service is among the best I’ve experienced at any Indian restaurant. I’ve dined here countless times—whether for their daily buffet or à la carte dinners (at least 50+ times!)—and they have never missed the mark on taste or service. Whether dining solo, with a small group, or with a large party, my experience has always been exceptional. As a vegetarian, I’ve tried nearly everything on their menu over the years, and I’ve never been disappointed. But this time, they surprised me! Since I was dining alone, they introduced me to their Thali menu for dinner, which I didn’t even know existed. It’s a perfect option for solo diners—highly recommended! (See the menu attached.) I ordered the Vegan/Gluten-Free Thali, and every dish was superb. The Kale Kofta Curry could have been better, but overall, the meal was excellent. As always, the service was stellar. Amber SF remains a must-visit for me whenever I’m in the Bay Area. Looking forward to my next visit!

Best Indian food in the city! Gluten free options for my mom. Attentive service although it can be slow when very busy. If you like Indian food you need to try this place it’s very gourmet!

Amazing food and service. I have celiacs disease and the staff was very knowledgeable about cross contamination (they have a dedicated fryer/oven). They have GF naan and 95% of the menu is gluten free. I felt very safe eating there, even went 2 days in a row. Cannot recommend enough.

We ordered the vegetable curry,. which was delicious! Because we couldn't have most of the appetizers because of cross contamination of gluten, I asked about the lamb samosas. The waiter was very thoughtful and suggested we get just the filling cooked in a pan without the wrapper that's always fried in the same oil as other breaded food. That's what they did for us, and it was still very tasty. He also brought some yogurt for us in case it was too hot! I also had a mango Lassi which was the best tasting one I've ever had . The owner was very knowledgeable about what we could and couldn't eat safety..

I love this place! The food is amazing and they have gluten-free naan! I have been here a couple of times and today I had the coconut vegetable curry which was everyone’s favorite! So so good 🥰

Best butter chicken I’ve ever had, waiters were so friendly, place and tables were clean and the food came in a reasonable time. Their Nan is amazing and they even have gluten-free options, and gluten free Nan which is amazing. The spice levels of the meals are indicated and you regulate them based on your preferences. Totally recommended!

Don't know what we would do without Noori in the neighborhood. Good food, friendly service, and a nice selection of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options that are clearly labeled in the menu. We especially love the veggie pakora, palak paneer, and vegetable jalfrazi. We're getting hungry just thinking about it. Better put in an order!

Super delicious Indian food! This is my go-to for take out and dine in. They have lots of gluten free options and many of the fried items use chickpea batter and are fried in a designated fryer.
