BEST PLACE FOR GLUTEN FREE/VEGAN FINE DINING!!! Super fancy, absolutely delicious, amazing atmosphere with the live musicians. My fiance and I were swooning over how luxurious our anniversary dinner was. Its been a long time since we've found a place that meets our dietary restrictions AND makes us feel like we had a real fancy night out. Cannot recommend this place enough. Also, try the silk route feast! Its worth every penny!!🤤

East is East is hands-down one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences you’ll find in the city. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped by the cozy, bohemian vibe—dim lighting, live music, and aromatic spices drifting from the kitchen. The décor and ambiance transport you somewhere between Istanbul and Kathmandu. I highly recommend the “Chai Feast”—a rotating selection of dishes from across the Silk Road served tapas-style. Every bite is rich, layered, and made with love. Personal standouts: the Afghan eggplant, lamb kebabs, and the mango butternut squash stew. And don’t miss their house chai—refillable, spiced to perfection, and served with a smile. The staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels like you’re a guest in someone’s beautifully curated home. Whether you’re a meat-eater, vegan, or gluten-free, there’s something flavorful and nourishing here for you. This isn’t just dinner—it’s a cultural experience. Perfect for date night, out-of-town visitors, or when you just need a warm soul-hug in the form of food.

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

They do an amazing job with gluten free dishes and I never worry about cross contamination when eating there.

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.

If you have Celiac you should avoid this place. I was looking forward to trying the Samosa’s here as I called in and was told they are prepared seperately. I had the samosa’s with chickpeas, the samosa’s themselves tasted greated however I had a reaction right after eating here. If you have celiac I would avoid eating here as there is some sort of cross contamination happening.

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.

Celebrating a senior's birthday, 4 of us agreed to Indian Oven for our first contact with them. The reservation process was easy and I could leave notice that one of us had Celiac Disease. I also emailed to see if they had gluten free options. They responded to say they had many dishes that were gluten free, or could be made gluten free easily. We decided to go and are very glad we did! The chef owner himself came out to talk directly to me about my food options, assisting the four of us to order a variety of foods almost all of which were gluten free! They ordered naan (very fluffy) while I ordered the gluten free roti right off the menu. The chef was knowledgeable about food restrictions, and all the staff were very good about keeping the gluten food away from the gluten free! We ordered 4 gluten free share plates (Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka Masala, Aloo Gobi plus the Indian Oven Grill, a mixed share plate with Fish Tikka and Prawns, tandoori chicken and chicken tikka, seekh kebab that was wonderful for the other three; I was served the chicken tikka separate from this plate. Veg Jalfrezi rounded out our meal, coupled with a very good plain rice. We also had a litre of wine to share at reasonable cost. All in, we agreed that we must return and enjoy other dishes - for the menu is extensive. No better review than that!

Amazing experience! Food, environment, staff, everything was phenomenal. The red sauce is one of the best I have ever had. Plus they have large gluten free crust. The paneer was also soooo flavourful. Created to perfection, with a good balance of seasoning It's family operated and you could tell. They truly care about your experience and the quality of the food Phenomenal experience! Will definitely be back and highly recommend

Tucked in on Wharf (with another spot on Yates), Dosa Paragon nails South Indian comfort food with crispy, perfectly fermented dosas, tangy coconut and tomato chutneys, and hearty sambhar . The signature dishes—like the Butter Chicken Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa—burst with authentic, bold flavours you won’t easily find elsewhere on Vancouver Island . Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options make it inclusive and appealing to many dietary preferences. Many guests rave about crisp dosas and excellent chutneys: “Bomb.com for dosa lovers!” . One Redditor even called it “the only proper South Indian restaurant on the island” , and another praised the Butter Chicken Dosa as “fantastic!” . Service and atmosphere can vary—some mention occasional slowdowns at peak times or small portion sizes for chutney —but most reviews highlight friendly staff and a cozy setup. Highlights • Exceptional, large, crispy dosas with vibrant fillings • Delicious chutneys & hearty sambar • Inclusive menu: vegan/gluten‑free friendly • Filter coffee and mango lassi round out the meal nicely Tips • Go during off-peak hours to avoid waits • Parking can be tricky near Yates—Wharf location offers easier access Bottom line: Authentic South Indian cuisine with bold flavours, a welcoming vibe, and a menu that satisfies vegans and gluten‑free diners alike. A must-visit for dosa lovers in Victoria!

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.

Aseem Arora

Great place. If you’re a celiac, they have gluten free roti. Very nice…… Highly recommend.

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!

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.

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.

Amazing gluten free cheese masala dosa and mango shake! Just like home.

Delicious! Great service re: accommodating for a gluten allergy.

The food and the service was fantastic. Most items are gluten free, and if you ask, the owner is very clear about which items are not gf or are fried with non gf items. Really great experience. I will definitely be back!

We had an unforgettable evening at Maurya’s Restaurant during our Russian-Ukrainian girls’ night out—we were treated like Hollywood stars! The incredible quiet atmosphere was such a highlight— a place where you can talk to your whole table without having to shout. The FANTASTIC cocktails were stunning, both in flavor and presentation, and they also made zero-proof drinks for those of us not drinking alcohol. The best drinks in Kamloops 100%. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate all our food concerns, making everything zero spicy, gluten-free, and absolutely delicious. The service was exceptional and made us feel so special all night. Maurya’s is truly a gem in Kamloops—a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and top-notch hospitality. Highly recommend!

Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The staff/owners are clearly so passionate about South Indian food and proud to share their culture. Everything was just heavenly, well seasoned and fresh. And the menu was SO clearly labelled with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. I felt so safe eating food here as it seemed so clear they could accommodate many allergies easily. 10/10

We've only ordered delivery and every time it's been great! We have a couple of allergies in the house and the staff take it seriously and know their ingredients, it's great knowing the good care put into their orders. Highly recommend! Note - I'm celiac and my son has a bad dairy allergy and we've never once had an issue.

Authentic Flavors & Outstanding Service at Dawett We had a truly memorable dining experience at Dawett. The food was exceptional—rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was delicious, from the paneer pakora to the chole batura, and the chicken korma with the jeera rice, and the salty lassi was perfectly refreshing. A special shout-out to our server, Mandeep, who made the experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu—offering great recommendations especially as one of us was celiac, and checking in at just the right times. Whether you're new to Indian cuisine or a long-time lover of it, Dawett is a must-visit in Kelowna. We’ll definitely be back!

Jon Kitzen

Gluten Free menu that does NOT use a dedicated fryer is "idiotic" because we are talking about a $600 bit of equipment - instead its all cross contaminated. Food is good but not great (the reviews say that) staff are very nice and attentive. Nice ambience

We absolutely love this restaurant- for its unique menu, delicious food, and for their wide range of gluten free options! We are from out of town, but visit every summer NUMEROUS times each year!

We were visiting from Vancouver. Their pizza was great, and the gluten free size small was great for a full meal for one. My husband enjoyed the normal pizza crust.
