Top 50 Gluten-Free Indian Cuisine Havens Across Canada

Kyle Embley

Horrendous experience. We recently heard that this restaurant could cater to those with Celiac disease. So we gave it an go today!! Everyone was excited. After asking repeatedly to confirm everything is gluten free and free from cross contamination, before/during/after, we were assured it was. My 10 year old is now violently ill. I might point out that it was 2:00pm when dined and we were the only table there. All any parent of a child with Celiac asks is that a restaurant is just honest on whether they can guarantee gluten free food and possibility of cross contamination (within reason). If you can’t, we’ll bring something with us!! The severity of the reaction my son experiences is always in proportion to the amount gluten he ingests. If it’s a slight cross contamination, it’s usually a couple trips to the toilet to vomit, bit of Tylenol then he’s good. The severity of this particular attack tells me it was direct ingestion of wheat. We’re moments away from going to the hospital. To the waitress that served us and the owner of this establishment…shame on you. I wish you were here watching my child experience the effects of your neglect. Watching your child suffer like this is heartbreaking. While I’m on it…the service was terrible too. Seeing as how we were the only table in the place, why did I have to go to the bar to tell her we were ready to order, again to order a drink, then again to ask for the bill. The Canadian guilt in me still left a 15% tip. Regret that now. Edit to this post after the fact…Owner contacted me and refunded money. Offered up apology. He did clarify that food is prepared in same kitchen so avoidance of cross contamination cannot be guaranteed. He said staff are supposed to tell the customers this. He’s committed to retraining and educating.

Good gluten free and vegan options, all clearly marked on the menu. Excellent service and very knowledgable staff

Kevin Horek

Love the gluten free wraps

Andrea Schartner

Amazing food, amazing service, beautiful restaurant. And basically everything here is gluten free!! This is definitely a new favourite spot. Thank you!

Kathleen Oneill

Made me a gluten free pizza in under 10 minutes because we needed to catch the ferry! Delicious and speedy

Arne Seidel-Höfer

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

Kristel

Delicious and plenty of vegan, gluten free options! Thank you!

We have been going to Asian’s with our family for years and it is the closest we have found to a UK curry in Vancouver - which is a huge compliment as the best curry restaurants in the world are in the UK! Chef Rick has been in this business for over 45 years and he makes everyone feel welcome. All dishes are freshly prepared. He is there early every day prepping all the ingredients. For diabetics it is particularly good - he does not use sugar but instead does magic with onions to introduce a sweetness. This makes the butter chicken the best ever. I can eat here without the food spiking my blood sugars at all - as long as I don’t stuff in too much Nan! The Tandoori mix grill is the best I have had. Mushroom matter is a favorite as is Lamb Sag. Did I mention the butter chicken! He often gives our grandkids a box of home made sweets to go. Gluten free options available and ample free parking on the street outside. I have noticed that Prices have not gone up since before COVID - go along as you won’t be disappointed.

Great food, fair prices and friendly staff! This is my go to whenever I'm in Chilliwack. I love the food and, as someone with celiac disease, I've never had any issues after eating it.

We where served so well by the staff esp Ashwanth. The food was awesome and gluten free allergy was well taken care off. Highly recommend for ambience and Tasty Indian food.

Gluten free, Vegan, AND delicious 😋

Phil and Christine German

Great place for Indian food in downtown Ottawa. The Thali trays are great for authenticity and variety. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free.

I went to Krispy Samosa a couple of times and was really happy with their gluten free samosas. Yes, their butter chicken samosa is bland but some of the other flavors are decent. I decided to purchase a bag of frozen samosas that I can cook at home. As I was eating a samosa, I felt something in between my teeth. I spat out the samosa only to find a long piece of hair inside the samosa. I was so disgusted. I tossed out the entire bag of frozen samosas, which were not cheap and I have not gone back since.

Excellent food and service. They were very accommodating and attentive to my toddler we brought with us. Almost the entire menu is gluten free. Best eggplant I've ever had. The garlic Naan bread was that great combo of fluffy but still crispy and well flavored. Paneer stir fry was very tasty. We skipped dessert but our mango lassi/moi during the meal was already a treat. Highly recommend it. Parking is a bit annoying with the small lot but we found a nearby side street to park on.

Alexandra Young

Lovely restaurant with excellent service. I like that they have vegan and gluten free options well marked on the menu. Rice isn't included with the curry dishes so make sure to order it extra. I found the rice servings quite small, but the main curry dish servings are generous. The main dishes come in containers with candles under them which keeps them nice and hot!

Pretty good portion on the dosas if you get their Dosa of the day. I like the lamb on Tuesdays. Pretty fast at in-between times (non-dinner time) when they are quite empty. The dosa is probably gluten-friendly but you might want to ask if other ingredients inside it are gluten-friendly too.

Devyn Henson

Me and my friend had a great first time here! Food and Service was excellent. I think her name was kiera. Very accomodating with food allergies. If your gluten free like me your very limited in what you can have but almost everything on their menu they can make gluten free. Im definitely coming back :)

Simon Hirst

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.

Dan Panamaroff

Excellent, I did no know dosa could be so thin and good. (Also, most of the menu is gluten free.)

Meghan van Aardt

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!

Sam D

Lots of seating, kind of industrial atmosphere. But the food was great! Lots of Vegan and gluten free or friendly items. We will be back

Gillian

I’ve eaten here about a dozen times now. I’m diagnosed celiac and I’ve never had any issues! The food is always terrific. I always get the Alo Gobi, Dahl Makhani, and the Paneer Pakoras. They’re always super mindful of my dietary restrictions by telling me which sauces are/are not GF, which I always appreciate.

Amu served us at Indian Affair, and they have incredible gluten-free options! The butter chicken dish was fantastic, The service was exceptional, making the experience even better.

Melissa Newman

The food and service was fantastic. Flavours were amazing. Server was very helpful explaining dishes and was so kind. Lots of gluten free options. Amazing experience and we will definitely be back the next time we are back to Ottawa!

Alice Leung

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.

Sheepdog

First time here for the lunch buffet … great selections for vegetarians/ meat lovers, gluten free and vegans! Well worth the price! Good service aswell … will be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Great gluten-free and vegetarian options. Food was well prepared and presentation was nice. I hope to go again soon.

Catherine Tays

Such tasty food and fantastic service as well. You can ask for a separate menu to see the vegan, gluten-free, and dairy free options, of which there are many, including vegan and gluten-free naan. Do not miss the Cauliflower 65. The cocktails are great and the restaurant mood was great too.

Lilian Tiro

Tucked in Burnaby is this East African Indian fusion place. Great pakoras, lamb biryani and beef ribs. Plenty of gluten free choices. Great service too. Not disappointed at all. No photos to show as we dug into the dishes as soon as they were served.

Michael Wilson

We had a fantastic dinner tonight. First time for us but recommended many times by friends. Food was great at a reasonably priced. I am celiac and there were many gf options and I felt quite “safe”. Our server, Raj, was pleasant, professional, and ever so friendly. * update for Celiacs…. I did suffer a celiac reaction post this initial review. Looking further on the web it seems they do not have a dedicated fryer (would love confirmation). My guess is that the pakora I had was cross-contaminated with Samosas, etc.

Tova Davidson

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.

v brown

Wooooooow that was so tasty! You will not regret eating here! The flavours were beautiful, the portion is generous, and the mango lasse is the best I’ve ever had! The dosas are gluten free :)

Michael Van

Came here with a couple friends to try out because of their gluten free and vegan options. Prices were extremely fair (you can a full meal for around 10 dollars). Worth stopping in if you like dosas!

Alya Govorchin

This place is delish and they have gluten free options including roti. The staff are really nice..solid and affordable lunch special as well!

Charlene Waines Wiltink

Take out LARGE GLUTEN FREE pizzas on the west side from Evergreen. They taste really very good for gluten free pizzas! No complaints about that! We had one large deluxe and one large Hawaiian. And they actually were large - not large for gluten free. These filled the pizza boxes. And they tasted great! Will definitely get them again. The one downside is they are expensive! These are not something we can afford often. With discounts applied 2 large pizzas were $65 which is way more than we will indulge in most times. Usually I am fine with much less expensive choices. So no faults on flavour or service both were great but be prepared at the till. If you want a great tasting full size GF pizza tho - this is it.

Kaley Merritt

Went there to celebrate with a group of 5 people. The wait staff were very friendly, I was greeted by each server I passed as I came in. The servers were always nearby to assist when needed and the owner was walking throughout the restaurant helping to attend to each table. The service was a 10/10 and noticeably better than most restaurants. The food was incredible and so flavourful. We ordered most of not all the appetizers to share and they were amazing. We had a vegetarian in our group and there were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. They also had a variety of gluten free and dairy free options too. I will definitely be returning to try their entrees. The lamb popsicles are what I have my eye on for next time. They also had an extensive drink list which included a good variety of non alcoholic options too. Are the prices high? a bit but food costs have increased and most restaurants have had to adjust their prices for this reason. For the experience and the value of the dishes, it’s reasonable. The ambience of the restaurant was nice and dimly lit. We all enjoyed our time there and I will definitely be going back again soon!

Maria Yousaf

Great food, and friendly service. Felt very welcome, almost as if I was eating at a family members house. We had one person in the group that was gluten free and was easily accommodated. Lastly, all meat is halal. Will definitely be back.

Erich & Kathy Boschmann

Service took a little longer because of our need for Gluten Free bread. But it was worth the wait!

ZoEy Gerbrandt

Grate place good price it’s all my friend will order gluten free and a lot more they have will fill you up and go back for more

Siman Sandhu

The food is absolutely delicious and the service was great as well. Dosa is a little hidden gem. They have a large menu of savoury and sweet crepes that cater to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free diet options to choose from! I had the vegetable Dosa. I'm obcessed. The prices were reseasonable too! N the service was excellent.

Nikul Sharma

Cant thank owners of this restaurant Uncle and Aunty enough for offering such amazing food for celiacs. The gluten free Roti is just out of the world. The extra effort they took to ensure taste and service is just 5 star. Must visit for Gluten Free rotis.

Pathum Kodikara

Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill in Vancouver is a hidden gem serving up bold Nepalese, Indian, and Indo-Chinese flavors. Their momos are a must-try, and the lamb curry packs just the right heat! With vegan and gluten-free options, plus friendly service, this spot is perfect for a flavorful feast.

Aurelius L.

We ordered for takeout. We chose this restaurant because of their reputation for consideration for Gluten Free people. They took good care of us, and the food was delicious. I would recommend for GF peeps, just make sure you mention it.

Heather Walker

So many gluten-free options, the food is beautiful and even tastier...best restaurant in Brandon

Tiara Battiston

Delicious food and great service! Very gluten free friendly everything is labeled at the buffet!

Véronique Nollet

Superbe expérience! Énormément d'options véganes, j'adore ça en tant que végane! Mon copain et moi avons pris le Tali et j'ai pu découvrir le papadam! Le tout était super bon! Mes compliments au chef! Le Mango nectar aussi, un vrai délice sucrée! Et pour finir en beauté, une tarte au chocolat, qui était sans gluten, mais quand même excellente, même si je ne suis pas céliaque ;) Le service était charmant et les deux employés étaient super sympathiques! C'était une belle ambiance tranquille et bien décoré malgré le petit espace, mais j'ai su que dans 6 semaines ils auront un plus grand local juste à côté avec vu sur la rue ! C'est une bonne nouvelle ça! À la prochaine, c'est sûr !

Kyle Anderson

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!

Vegan Saskatoon

This was my husband and I's first time visiting this restaurant. We came because of the clearly labeled vegan and gluten free items, as I am both. It was so nice to have so much variety with clearly labeled markers on the menu. Everything was full of flavour and delicious. We were both so happy with our meals! We tried: Vegetable Pakora, Bharve Tandoori Aloo, Wangan Bharta, Dal Tadka, Saffron Rice, Tandoori Roti, and the Chilla (Gluten Free Flatbread) At another time not pictured I also tried the Channa Masala and the Bhindi Masala, both sooooo delicious. Craveable food full of flavour!!

Abisaac Saraga

Very tasty but very pricey compared to other similar places. Food had a good spice. Would go back again for something different then our norm. I really enjoyed the coconut curry Basa. Lots of gluten free options. Chef was working hard in the back for the made to order meals.
