I am a new lover of Veda! After coming here with a friend over the weekend I decided to return for lunch this week. I was so happy to find out they had specials for restaurant week!
The fish pakora was so good I literally wrote home to mom about it! As someone with dietary restrictions finding a place to eat can be hard, but Veda has loads of clearly labeled gluten free options. Their fish is sumptuous and flavorful. I also got the fish moylee and the sauce was so good I could swim in it! I totally enjoyed everything I had. Everything tasted very fresh, flavorful, and delicious.
Apart from the food the service was wonderful. My waiter was kind and attentive at every point throughout my meal. It’s great when food tastes good and even better when service stands out. My waiter, Khemraj, was so kind and helpful I will make it a point to stop by again sometime this week when he is working. Do yourself a favor a stop by Veda. Whether you’re by yourself, on a date, or with a friend- you’ll be glad you did!
I have gluten allergies and I never have to worry when eating here. The food is excellent and it is always a very good experince. It is my number one go to place.
I absolutely love the service here. The owner always visits with the guests and is hands on in the kitchen! So many gluten and dairy free options. Staff are knowledgeable and accommodating. Amazing flavors and incredible food!
The food was very good, as it always is. I don't eat from the buffet because I like the flavors of Indian food but I cannot have spicy (I have GI issues), so I order from the menu at a level 1 heat. They seemed offended that I wanted to order from the menu. I don't know why, it's definitely more expensive than the buffet. My son and his wife ordered the buffet.
I also brought wine because they have a very limited wine menu. When they first installed the bar years ago they would still let you bring your own wine for the corkage fee. That is no more and they seemed offended that I asked. I honestly didn't know their policy had changed. So, that was fine, I left my wine in the bag I ordered wine from their menu.
After my dinner came out I asked for some raita. That was met with what I would characterize as distain.
Finally, since it was my son's birthday and his wife has gluten sensitivities I had brought some french macarons and one small birthday candle so that we could quietly sing. His wife and I literally whisper sang because we were becoming increasingly aware that the staff were giving us the side eye. After that I asked for a check and some boxes for my leftovers (again, NOT FROM THE BUFFET) and they seemed taken aback. But I had ordered the lamb tikka masala, and a garlic nan, and a vegetable korma all from the menu. It was a lot of food and I wasn't about to throw it all away.
Food was still amazing but by the time I paid the check we felt very uncomfortable being there. My son said he felt like everyone was staring at us.
I have been going to this restaurant for decades and have never been made to feel uncomfortable until last night. It's a shame that the service has changed so might that we didn't feel welcome. And it's not like the place was packed. We went at 7:00 and there were several open tables throughout the seating area. Not sure what was going on that evening but I'll have to think twice about going back.
Also, they now provide Styrofoam for leftovers, not the foil containers they used to use. That is like a throw back in time. Fast food places don't even use Styrofoam any more. The service has certainly changed since the new ownership. For shame.
This place is wonderful! The staff are lovely and were helpful when I voiced my dietary needs. I feel safe eating here, knowing their kitchen is conscious of preventing gluten cross-contamination. And, of course, the food is delicious. Only complaint is that they don't offer the spicy mango sauce in gallon jugs 👀
We tried the vegetarian biryani and paneer tikka masala and both dishes were delicious with generous portions. The service was attentive and they have a wide range of options for vegans, gluten-free individuals, and Jains. They can adjust the spiciness to your preference; I ordered mild and it had a hint of pepper but was not overly spicy. I'm not sure if there is a no pepper option available. Overall, it is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to.
I can't say enough about this wonderful restaurant. The service is incredible and the food is just out of this world. We have visited 3 times now for dinner and everything has been consistently amazing each time. The staff is very knowledgeable about food allergies and I feel very comfortable with the gluten free options on the menu. Favorites so far are the lasooni gobi and lamb roganjosh, but we have loved every other dish as well. Thank you to everyone at Guru's for another fantastic experience...we will definitely be back!
I have been going to Namaste for a bit now. It is my go to Indian restuarant. The food is always good. Ive become a regular carry out customer and I think the lady who usually gives me my order has recognized me as a regular. I dont know her name but she is always so kind. I only dined in once with a large group and the service was great and they were knowledgable about gluten free items on the menu. I always am happy with my food and service. And like to thank the lady for her kindness( feel bad for not knowing her name.)
We came as a group for a late lunch/early dinner and the food was AMAZING! Our server, Happy Grover, was so hospitable. He told us his favorites, spice index and made excellent recommendations for appetizers and entrees. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, as well as very clean.
Food ingredients were very fresh and portion sizes were great! We ordered a bunch of dishes and all shared.
There are also a TON of gluten free options!
Highly recommend! Ask for Happy Grover
Amazing Indian food. My husband and I were visiting from Florida and were disappointed to know the airport/Robinson area (actually entire city) has hardly any healthy or vegan restaurants whatsoever. I called and spoke to the owner (who is wonderful) and was anxious to to try this place. During our six day stay, we ate here three times. They have delicious food with many options being gluten and dairy free and even had quinoa. Really, the flavors are so amazing. Highly recommend and we will definitely go there again the next time we're in Pittsburgh.
We’ve come numerous times and food is always excellent, and the service is amazing. They are also very careful when it comes gluten allergies, which is super appreciated!
Great place! Quick and good service, very polite and helpful workers, good gluten free menu and the staff was very aware and respectful of gluten allergies. The menu had lots of options. Overall pretty great place!
This is the best Indian restaurant in Pittsburgh. The food is amazing, the wait staff are so nice, and the restaurant is clean and inviting. The team was very helpful to understand what items had gluten. Then, they ensure that I knew whether each item that came to the table was gluten free. It was an all around great experience!

Wow. This was the best meal I've had in a long time! I can't stop thinking about it.
The portions were very generous. And my partner with celiac disease is comfortable eating here without any fear of gluten contamination.
I can not say enough good things about this restaurant. The staff is so hospitable. I have a gluten allergy and the kitchen has no problem accommodating. My kids love the different naan options. We will be back very soon!
Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly about Gluten Allergies and helped us out so much. Food was fantastic and presentation was excellent. Would love to come back again.
Loved it! Great food. Family friendly. Gluten-free options. Our family has been coming here since it opened. The restaurant is spacious but has a cozy atmosphere.
This is the third Indian buffet we have tried in the past month. This was our least favorite lunch buffet. They did not have mango Lassi, their food selections were very limited. There was nothing along the lines of salad vegetables. However I have celiac disease and my obvious safe food choices were tasty and did not make me sick.
I love Indian food and this is one of the best. I'm gluten sensitive so I really appreciate the menu pointing out that all entrees are gluten free except if they're marked Gluten. The food is fresh and delicious, service there is awesome and the atmosphere is very homey and warm. They have a nice porch for outside seating in better weather. My husband really likes that he can get his choice of near beer there also. Lovely place that we will visit again. 😊
Simple straight forward menu with clear designations for vegan, gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and nuts. Excellent food. Good service. Plain and clean. Did I mention the excellent food?
Amazing food and staff, with the menu having lots of items good for people who are vegans, vegatariens, and gluten free. It also had cool decor. I loved the fresh naan and all the paneer dishs where top tier. 10/10 would recommend.
Great spot, delicious food, great service. Really great vegetarian and gluten free options! Sometimes the chicken that is in the appetizer sampler is a bit overcooked, but the rest of it as well as everything else we've eaten here is so, so good that it doesn't bother me much - not even worth detracting a star from this review. I only mention it because it's the ONLY flaw. (And the chicken that is in everything else is really excellent.) Highly recommend!
This restaurant is a treasure! Located in the burgeoning and diverse Pittsburgh neighborhood of Garfield, the buffet, from 1130am to 230pm M-S, is not to be missed. People’s is a small venue with no waiting area and today we arrived at 145pm to find every table filled. The wait was worth every minute! There are both vegan and meat-based options, mostly gluten free. The bread was incredible and nothing was too spicy, just delicious and perfectly seasoned. Dessert and coffee is included and large bottles of water are provided on each table. The tables are very close together but both customers and staff are friendly and polite. Every visit to Pittsburgh will now include People’s!
They had things clearly labeled as vegan on the online menu with a “v” and “gf” for gluten free. The food was tasty, although still pretty spicy for mild. I ordered for pickup and the food was ready when I got there, a few minutes before my pick up time. The atmosphere inside seemed nice.
Excellent food and friendly people! We’ve tried at least 5 different things and all have been delicious. Appetizer fried paneer in a tomato based sauce, veggies with rice, spinach plate, saag, all very good.vegetarian and gluten-free options . Definitely recommend.
Lovash is by far the best Indian food in Philadelphia. We order take away 3 or 4 times a week from work, the food is always fresh and the taste is homemade. We especially love the Veg Biryani, Saag, Rogan Josh, and aloo tiki chole. They have great vegan and gluten free options for many dishes and tasty Lassi! Thanks Mohan!
My new Favorite go to spot for delicious Indian Food, including a fabulous buffet available at lunch and dinner. The buffet is absolutely perfect with gluten free and vegan options also, and all items are marked as such. Cold salad bar with fresh fruit and desserts and even hot chai tea.. The buffet is a great way to try different Indian dishes if you have never had it, or love it and want a bit of everything.. Their full menu is also always available. Their drink prices are Awesome with 3.00 wines,shots and beers & 2.00 Yuengling bottles. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly with exceptional customer service. Same amazing service Everytime-- days, nights, weekends. Great for fun with friends, meeting someone for a business lunch or just to chat, and even makes an impressive date night on a budget. Their huge vegetarian samosas are amazing and all the buffet food is spiced just right for anyone to try. If you have missed this University City gem please give it a try...You'll definitely go back for more... Also very clean establishment with beautiful clean bathrooms.
We absolutely love Masala Zone, very close to my work so end up going there with colleagues for dinner. We have been there many times and have never been disappointed.
Special shout out to Robert, he is fantastic, very attentive and always delivers outstanding service. He is very knowledgeable about the food and provides excellent recommendations based on any preferences you may have like vegetarian, gluten free, lactose intolerance etc
There are some interesting desserts, some which may not be on the menu, make sure you ask Robert about them.
They also have a very good lunch buffet, haven't tried it myself but have heard about it from my colleagues.
Rangoli has delicious, made from scratch food that is made to order! Our meal was the best Indian food I’ve ever had! Krishna was warm and welcoming and answered every question we had. He even helped me pic something that did not have any nuts as I have an allergy. The menu does state if it’s gluten-free and/or nut free. He even made an effort to make something special without nuts. We WILL DEFINITELY eat here again! Yum!!!
Magnificent food. We got Chicken Tikka Marsala & Chicken Korma at a Lv2 spicy ++ some apps. Wife doesn’t like spice, I do. She felt 2 was perfectly fine for her pallet. I could have been a bit spicer(will do next time) but overall great taste. Plus most of their entree dishes are gluten free which is a plus for having a wife with celiac. We will be returning for sure!
Went for dinner. Food was phenomenal and staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. Good music and atmosphere. Overall 10/10 will be visiting again!
My 2 children, my husband and I are on a plant based diet. As we sat, they guided us through their vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options. They also, made some adjustments to make dishes vegan. The flavors were perfect. The yellow lentil Dal Tadka was a hit with my family. The mixed vegetables Pakora were crispy and flavorful. We highly recommend this hole in the wall flavor bursting spot!
Give it a try and leave full and happy!
This is one of my favorite restaurants. I always get excited to eat here! Most of the dishes can be made gluten free. The staff is lovely, the service is timely, and the food is just so so good. It's not too expensive either, because the portions are quite large and I always have leftovers to bring home for later. I highly recommend Srinagar.
Don't let the building's surroundings deter you, this place is gorgeous and clean inside and the food is incredible! So many vegetarian and gluten free choices on the menu and the service is great.
Very tasty Indian fare in the suburbs, with friendly staff and quick service. I stopped in with my wife and a friend for lunch, and we all enjoyed our meals. The staff was helpful in assuring my wife that all the main courses are gluten-free, and our food came out quite quickly after ordering, along with a plate of rice to share.
The rice is bottomless, which was pretty key for my lamb vindaloo, which had some nice kick to it. Lamb was cooked well, and the sauce was on point!
Prices felt a little high, but quality was there. Could be great to have a lunch buffet there!

The food is delicious. We dine in sometimes and we take out sometimes. We go here regularly. The Butter Chicken tastes so good and is gluten free! The Naan is perfectly seasoned and absolutely scrumptious. Their drinks are very different - the Mango Lassi is very refreshing. I highly recommend Bittoo's Tikka!!
