Top 31 Gluten-Free Indian Cuisine Havens Across Ontario

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

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

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

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Leah Davidson

Jonah Strub

Sooooo delicious! Tons of gluten-free and vegan options! The dosa platter was exceptionally delicious and the owner was very warm and inviting.

faizan alsulkar

This place is a lifesaver for gluten-free options! I had the cauliflower with rice, and it was both delicious and safe for my dietary restrictions. It’s so nice to have a place where the staff is knowledgeable about allergens.

John Andrews

My first time at this restaurant I have been driving by for so many years I decided to go in today and try some butter chicken, I also ordered matar paneer and some garlic Naan. I have been to at least 5 Indian restaurants in ottawa, every restaurant has a slightly different flavor on there food Each one has a different take on there Naan bread, but all were very good, so was the butter chicken The butter chicken at Indian express was excellent I noticed that the chicken was very tender. all the other restaurants I have been to the chicken was dry. The Naan bread was very good, nice and fresh loved it, no complaints here. The matar paneer was also fresh and flavourful, the rice was also fresh. Indian express also makes fresh deserts on site I tried a square with Mango and coconut WOW WHAT FLAVOR, They also had a gluten free chickpea flour ball with Cashews WOW the flavours just keep on coming Had to get an assortment of desserts oh so good After one bite you will know what I mean. Well I have no complaints on the food at Indian Express, service was good, very happy will be back.

Prasanth Thoppe

Went in tired and exhausted after a day trip to Tobermory and came out powered up and super satisfied . My wife and I were glad we came to this place as the food was not only delicious , but felt home like. We had home made Dal makhani , Kadai paneer and gluten free roti . Also the nepalese chai was very good too. The place had a very pleasant ambience . Would definitely return again if an opportunity arises. Oh yes, even the gulab jamun was delicious.

Gabrielle Beaulne

The food was really good and the portions where HUGE. There's a tone of options for people who are gluten free as well !

OK Naledi

The most lovely and delicious experience! Ordered catering for 10 and every. single. dish was exquisite and the portions were so plentiful! The folks here were so helpful with my order and made great recommendations. Communication and delivery was beyond my expectations. Very well organized, packaged and labelled (really accommodated my gluten allergy). I would give 6 stars if I could.

Clara C

Was there for dinner tonight and the food was so delicious. Everything on the menu is gluten free except for one dish. Lots of vegetarian options too. Definitely going back.

Jeffrey Gramata

My wife has a gluten allergy and we are vegetarian. This place was amazing. Some of the best Indian food I've eaten. So many gluten free and vegetarian options and everything is labeled. Wish I lived closer to come to again

michy

been coming here for years, the food is excellent. chicken pakoras are amazing and gluten free. they have multiple gf and vegetarian options. must try

Bonita F

We've been coming here for several years. The food is consistently yummy and the service (especially the family who owns the restaurant) is truly lovely. I usually eat vegan and gluten free, and there are a lot of options here for me. They have lots of regular clients, but if you're new to the area, I highly recommend checking it out.

Anumod Vm

Superb Customer service,nice ambiance, they have special menu for Gluten allergic people.

Darlene Mantini

Second time here by to celebrate a family member’s birthday. Was as good or even better than first time and the first time was excellent!!! Liam our waiter ( both times) made our lunch fabulous. He gave us all recommendations and helped order for the table of 6 plus ensured one guest who is celiac, could enjoy all her food too as well kept the ‘heat’ to a minimum for our tastebuds. Food is excellent here, plentiful and so flavourful however Liam our waiter made all the difference.

B Ramey

This place is absolutely amazing!! Our server was Susma and she was so kind and helpful! I have a lot of food allergies (gluten free, dairy free, and more) and had many questions about the menu. Susma was so accommodating to help me find foods for my dietary needs. To top it all off, the food was beyond INCREDIBLE!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Melanie Lynch

Delicious Indian food. Many gluten free and vegetarian options. Excellent service. Fast and great service. Beautifully decorated and clean.

Debbie H

Nice and restaurant upstairs. All the tables had nice clean white linen tablecloths simply set. A very quaint atmosphere. The food was fresh hot and delicious. Lots of choices we ate from the buffet. We are gluten free and 97 percent of the buffet was gluten free. They were very knowledgeable about cross contamination ie same fryers. Totally recommend and can't wait to go back!!

Fiona Turnbull

Absolutely delicious food, and they have tons of vegan/vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options so there's something for everyone.

Hamont Reviewer

We recently had a pleasant lunch buffet experience at Mumbai Masala Grill in Ottawa. The restaurant was clean and easy to find, with good service. We were particularly happy with the selection of gluten-free options available on the buffet. While the overall food quality was average, some dishes stood out. The butter chicken was flavorful, and the vegetarian options were satisfying. The highlight of the buffet was definitely the tandoor chicken, which was delicious. However, it would be helpful if they replenished the tandoor chicken tray more frequently to avoid running out. The naan bread was a nice touch, brought fresh and hot to the table. Overall, Mumbai Masala Grill offers a good lunch buffet option, especially for those seeking gluten-free Indian cuisine. While some dishes may be average, the highlights and attentive service make it worth a visit.

Nite Shade

Food was good, and was very cozy. Nidhi was great, ensured the gluten and gluten free food didn’t mix.

Raghu Bisht

We had an amazing experience at khau gully for an annual client get-together. The service was fantastic — super attentive and friendly — and the team went out of their way to make the last night special, and even tailored dishes to accommodate a few guests with food preferences and restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, etc.) while still being flawless with the execution. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. You could really tell how much care went into the food and service. Our clients were extremely impressed and everyone can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.

Doug Lindeblom

Our daughter was staying in Thornhill from out-of-town and was craving Indian food, so we tried Bombay Bhel. Food was amazing, butter chicken to die for and great chicken biryani...chicken in both dishes was SO tender. The onion pakoras, samosas and butter naan were all great....food was all very fresh and flavourful. Lots of gluten free options for her. The mango lassie was also a hit! Glad we found this place!

carlee walsh

Food was super flavourful and the guy behind the counter was very kind and helpful, making sure to ask if it was our first time and helped us navigate the menu for dairy free and gluten free options. Will definitely be back!

Sarah

Large portions, great prices. Good vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options.

Sameer Alibhai

First, we were seated promptly at 7 PM, but the evening quickly took a nosedive when the server informed us that they were *already* out of all appetizers. At 7 PM. For a restaurant that boasts an extensive menu, this was beyond disappointing and set the tone for what was to come. Things only got worse when we noticed that items clearly labeled as "gluten-free" on the menu were, in fact, *not gluten-free.* This is not just misleading—it’s dangerous. As someone who has a serious sensitivity to gluten, I trusted the menu and paid the price. I ended up getting severely sick after the meal, ruining not only my night but several days afterward. Adding insult to injury, they sneakily included a tip in the bill due to our party size (6 people) but failed to disclose this when presenting the check. They then tricked one of my friends into tipping a second time on top of the already included gratuity. This lack of transparency felt deceptive and unprofessional.

Miranda

The food is AMAZING, the staff is so attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is lovely. Edit : I was told everything I got was gluten free and I was really excited about that because I have celiac disease, but I got really sick after so I don’t believe everything was ☹️

Alyssa Carrigan

Excellent service and food! The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive. I gluten free - they had great gluten free options and were so accommodating!

Sarah Regnier

The food was absolutely delicious and I so appreciate both the well-marked gluten free items on the menu and the clearly marked gf on all the food we received. So helpful and reassuring. Delivery was great as well.
