Essence Indian Cuisine

5 stars! The food at Essence Indian Cuisine is both delicious and nourishing! Arrived at 12:30 on a Sunday afternoon after hiking Lagoon Valley Park, and we were absolutely famished! I looked for a near by Gluten Free Restaurant and was delighted to see that Essence had items on their menu clearly marked Gluten Free! I will share that I called ahead to confirm and when I was at the restaurant inquired about the items that are deep fried and learned that it’s a shared fryer, so if your concerned about cross contamination avoid those. However I had the Masala Dosa and was very pleased with the portion size and the flavors. The other people in my party had the mango chicken with rice and an order of garlic naan each! The server inquired about the spice level for the mango chicken and they wanted it mild, it came out extremely palatable for them with regards to heat as well as still very jam packed with flavor. The servers also came by regularly to fill our water as well as checking in the food was good or if there was anything else we needed. We forgot to take a picture of the food before however here is the after math of our collective clean plates!

Absolutely delish! Best luck stopping here on a road trip amd wow! Only bummer they’re so far from us :( we got extra to have the next day! We looooved all the gluten free options!!! Delicious! And great service! I’ve already recommended it to friends in the area!
