This is one of our favorite places- consistently good. ans great gluten free and vegan options. We like ecerything, but their mango lassi and tandoori chicken are our favorite in the area

Winston Trope

Excellent menu with a wide selection of options including gluten free and vegan. The cocktails are awesome too, it's a great place to grab a quick drink, a quick bite, or to eat and chat for a long time

Lucas Cavalcanti

I have had both good & bad experiences here. Some things are definitely GF but the menu isn't marked & language barriers make communication difficult. Love the food but risky for people with allergies.

Michele Bassett

Awesome food. I got take out and will be back for more. Gluten-free and vegan dishes are clearly labeled on the menu which is a huge plus!

Garrett Bates

Excellent experience! Super helpful in guiding our gluten free guests through the buffet! Wonderful food! Incredible hot naan served at the table. Highly recommend!

Chuck Hermann

Extensive gluten free menu. New owner/chef (Raj) is out and about in the dining room meeting new customers as orders allow. Very friendly and enthusiastic about the business. Had the chicken pakora and the golden fried prawns. Prawns we're cooked, but tender - perfect! And the chicken was moist. Both dishes were delicious. Ordered chicken Tikka masala (my usual go to at an Indian restaurant) and the mango chicken (hot). The Tikka was a bit sweet for my taste and the flavor leaned a bit toward molasses for some reason, but it was still very good. The mango chicken was about a 6/10 on the heat scale, even though I ordered it hot, so I wouldn't be afraid to order the mild or medium. The flavor was delicious, though. Will be coming back to try other dishes in the future.

Absolutely amazing food! My family loved everything! They offer many choices, including corn roti for those that are gluten free.

Sai Chauhan

Spectacular food and service! Every dish we are was delicious and flavorful -- each tasted very distinct, which is a depressingly rare trait in Indian restaurants in America. Highly recommend the baby eggplant curry in particular, but I don't think you could go wrong with anything! The waiter and chef were also extremely friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to meet our dietary restrictions -- gluten free and dairy free -- even making us a fresh batch of rice and letting us take it all home with us afterwards :) We will be back very frequently... this is a gem of a restaurant!

Happy Bee

This place is amazing! We discovered it today and couldn’t be happier. The service, impeccable. Our server was helpful making suggestions for us to try. And the food!? So good! We tried a few different dishes and everything was so tasty, fresh and just delicious! Most of their recipes/options are gluten free too! Cannot wait to be able to come back! I wish we had this place in Maryland!

Lilly Sellati

The food is quite good and very reasonably priced. Just be careful of the spice level, even the "mild" dishes are spicier than I've had at other Indian restaurants. There is no dedicated gluten free space in the kitchen but I have never had a problem here (I have a gluten allergy, not celiac fyi). I regularly get, and love, the veggie pakoras, chana saag, chicken tikka masala, and kheer.

Holland Schorr

Food was delicious and service was top notch. Highly recommend. We eat gluten free and plant based and it was an excellent menu for us.

Good for vegans/vegetarians/ gluten allergy/sensitivity

Dr Shankari

Never thought of such pleasureful experience when stepped in Spice Venue for dinner. All the dishes we ordered were delightful, bursting with flavor and freshness. We chose for Chicken Tikka Masala, Gobi 65, Butter Naan and Gulab Jamun, all of which were generously portioned and arrived on table impeccably flavourful, fresh and warm. They offer ample gluten-free and vegetarian choices. We'll surely return for more!

Tried to get into this place last Friday and the wait was too long with our toddler. However, we went back this Thursday and it did not disappoint! Best Indian food I have had around here, everything was delicious (masala fries, chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo & naan). Their menu is labeled for allergies which I appreciated as someone with Celiac. Place is beautiful inside, the staff was super friendly and even the children’s highchair was nicer than the norm. 10/10 will be back and would recommend!

I ordered for a large group event at Connecticut College and it went so well. The staff was very easy to communicate with and expertly created a menu for our 14 person lunch with vegan and gluten free options within our budget. Everyone loved it. Highly recommend!

Melly G

Food is delicious! Menu has gluten-free and vegan options. My husband ordered the Chicken Chittinad with garlic naan and roti. My dish was the Aloo Capsicum Masala which is vegan and gluten free. Owners and chef and very friendly and kind🤗You wont be disappointed!

Diana Garbera

We had a lovely family dinner at Kamana last night. I had never eaten there before, but chose it because I needed to accommodate gluten free and vegan diets. Kamana did not disappoint! The food was delicious and there were numerous options that met everyone's dietary restrictions. The service was amazing. Our table of 8 was attended to with patience and great care. The servings were generous and the prices reasonable. I highly recommend Kamana. Delicious Indian food. Perfect for vegan, dairy free and gluten free diets.

I liked it better when it was India palace and traditional tandoori food. The naan came out last?!The pakoras and samosas were fried and, burnt, deep fried and likely frozen to start. Really not authentic at all. They don't even give you the chutney and dips with stuff. Horrible service, no knowledge of what is actually vegan or gluten free, they told my aunt, who has a severe allergy, that whole wheat roti was gluten free. Also the roti was indistinguishable from the naan, it just didn't have gi on it... Worst place to take a date or to bring family. Lack of real options. Main plates even seemed like they were pure made and warmed up. Severly overpriced and packed to the gills with little space between tables. I got ill after eating there too, probably because it was so packed and the food was so grimey.

Hands down my favorite restaurant. The food is always delicious and the atmosphere and service are excellent. Lots of gluten-free options as well. An absolute hidden gem of a restaurant.

The familiar aromas of cumin, cardamom and clove greet you upon entering Sitar Restaurant in New Haven, where northern Indian cuisine has found a comfortable home amid contemporary décor. Exposed brick walls contrast with white pillars and ceiling, while caramel-toned chairs and navy upholstered booths create a modern yet inviting atmosphere. On a recent visit, the lamb vindaloo arrived in a traditional metal bowl, its reddish-brown sauce glistening under the restaurant's soft lighting. Each spoonful delivered the dish's signature heat, tempered by tender chunks of lamb and brightened with fresh cilantro. The accompanying basmati rice, adorned simply with carrot slivers and herbs, provided the necessary counterpoint to the robust curry. The garlic naan deserves special mention. Pulled from the tandoor at the precise moment, it arrives with the ideal balance of char and chew, its surface bubbled and glistening with a whisper of butter and garlic. Sitar's menu extends beyond these standards to include chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh and saag paneer, all prepared with an eye toward authenticity rather than adaptation. Vegetarian and gluten-free options appear throughout the offerings, reflecting a thoughtful consideration for diverse dietary needs. The service strikes that delicate balance between attentiveness and restraint. Water glasses remain filled, empty plates disappear promptly, and questions about spice levels receive honest answers rather than default reassurances. Some diners have noted occasional delays during peak hours, though the quality of the food generally compensates for any wait. Others praise the restaurant's delivery service, which reportedly arrives with food still steaming in secured packaging. Sitar operates daily during lunch and dinner hours, with a brief afternoon closure. Prices remain reasonable for the portion size, with most entrees allowing for tomorrow's lunch — a value proposition that, like the restaurant itself, satisfies without unnecessary flourish.

We had a great time at Darbar’s new location in Branford. They had so many gluten free options for us to try including gluten free Indian pizza! Staff was knowledgeable about gluten, dairy and nut allergies. The Gobi 65 is an all time favorite and we can’t wait to go back.

Matthew Conroy

Delicious food and excellent service! We ordered from India Raj for our annual staff party for the second time this year. My team especially appreciated the good variety of gluten free and vegetarian options available. Would highly recommend!

I love the food here. I wish the food can be labeled with Gluten Free and Vegetarian, then we would come more often.
