Top 44 Gluten-Free Indian Cuisine Havens Across England

Michelle Brown

Make reservations well in advance! This location was near the London Palladium where we were seeing a show. It is very important to note that Dishoom is very serious about allergens, but not all locations have the same dishes. The Carnaby location is a bit limited on its GF entree choices. Because of my husband’s many preferences plus GF needs, he felt his only choice was the Mutton Pepper Fry, which ended up being tender and delicious. There were more side and small plates that were GF or could be modified. The Carnaby location is in a bustling pedestrian area that is bustling with bars, pubs, and shopping. Our reservation was early so we had time to walk through Carnaby and into Piccadilly before our show. Specific note: if you have airborne wheat allergies, the bathrooms are in the basement and you must walk through the naan baking section and flour is abundant. It’s cool to watch unless you’re allergic.

Had a great experience catching up with friends. The staff were super helpful and accommodating to my gluten free intolerance. We were served by Ubayd who delivered a friendly and generous experience for me and my friends

We visited Dishoom in mid-April. And the food was awesome - the most authentic Indian food I've had outside of India ! However, our experience was muted by an important communication challenge. I was dining with a guest who has sensitivity to gluten. Dishoom has a clearly-marked "allergen" menu, however nobody on the restaurant floor knew enough about the ingredients in any dish to be able to guide us. Not the hostess, not the server, not the manager. They explained that the allergen menu was developed by the chefs strictly analyzing each ingredient -- and if any ingredient contained any risk of any gluten cross-contamination, then the entire dish is flagged as "containing gluten". (e.g. - so many (maybe most?) of the dishes on the menu contain no glutenous ingredients, but if a single ingredient may have been processed in a plant that also processes wheat or barley or rye, then the entire dish is labeled as unsafe for diners with gluten sensitivities.) Nobody in the restaurant was able to provide any additional information about the ingredients in any dish to help us assess the risks. This aspect of our experience was quite frustrating - and made more challenging by the very noisy dining room, which made even basic communication difficult. We nearly left without ordering food, but we eventually chose dishes based on the listed ingredients, and our own knowledge of the cuisine. Again - the food was amazing ... but the frustration and anxiety caused by the inability of the restaurant to communicate allergen information left the most lasting impression.

Excellent food and a couple of celiac friendly dishes. Cozy atmosphere and staff is friendly.

Colin Osborne

Delicious food, nice environment and great service. Fully catered for gluten free (celiac) and vegetarian (& vegan). Love this place.

Nick Howard

GF-knowledgeable staff and very tasty food. As another reviewer has said, the kitchen has limited opportunity to cater separately but this was fully advised. I simply chose carefully, and avoided fried food. Would recommend.

Amazing meal at Mowgli. It was my first visit and I loved it. We were a group of five - three adults and two children. The adults ordered the street food sharer for the three of us, and the kids each had a chicken butter curry and rice. Now, the food was excellent, but the restaurant was understaffed and service was really bad. I appreciate that it was mother's day and very busy. Once seated, we waited about 15 minutes to be given menus, and we were asked what drinks we wanted which we ordered. Another 15 minutes went by, no drinks had arrived, but the waitress appeared to take our food order. She also repeated our drinks orders which was strange. I think this is where things went a little stray. We ordered the street food sharer for three and two more curries and two more rice for my nephews. When all the food arrived, there were four rice rather than five, two rotis rather than three. There was still plenty of food and we weren't sure if one of the kids meals hadn't been put through or one of the sharers. Once we finished eating it was another 15 minutes for the table to be cleared and for ice creams to arrive (you get a scoop of salted caramel with the sharer meal). Definitely book a table in advance. There is plenty of choice for vegans and gluten free. I like the individual portions and sharing options. I didn't take many photos as I was too keen to enjoy!!

Firstly, I have coeliacs disease and was so pleased to see a wide range of gluten free options. The food portion sizes was spot on. We had 5 “tiffins” between two of us. The option for drinks was very good. To the food…it was simply bloody lovely and wished we had one near Southampton. Atmosphere and decor, again was spot on, and to make the evening even more special for my wife (who is the foodie), Nisha was also there and took the time for a photo and chat. An amazing night and a great memory.

Setu Upadhya

Very flavorful and tasty food! It was very easy to find gluten-free / celiac and vegan options here. Kat and Rohit are both super friendly.

Amika Mcculloch

Matilda was attentive and great for allergies and gluten free

Alex Watson

nicely decorated and set up, good service from the staff. But the food was far from good. We had a set meal for 3 of us. it came with the smallest chapati I've ever seen (the size of a good biscuit) and there were 2 of them for 3 people. small portions. the starter was inedible and i eat anything and everything. Mains were watery in consistency. The only large portion was a potatoes dish. I don't go to an Indian restaurant for potatoes. Everything is gluten free, great if you can't tolerate it so maybe that's why the dishes didn't do it for me in the taste department. Soda water very expensive, same as a coke. Surprised there are so many top reviews. so guess its just me!

Great food especially for me as I am Gluten Free. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Sophie Besford

Gluten free food was fab! Azita was a great server.

Tanya Cheetham

We cannot rate this place highly enough, the staff are amazing, the food is fantastic, and for someone who is gluten free, it is food heaven! Thanks again for another wonderful evening.

Alison Byrne

Went for the first time yesterday with coeliac daughter, had to wait for a table as was busy but didn’t have to wait long at all. The whole experience was amazing. Daughter had a great meal and didn’t feel ‘different’ she loved it. Hubby and I had the tiffin boxes and was just divine. Had different curries in the boxes so we could share. Amaxing meal

Van Hammer

Great first time experience. Food was not only quick but delicious when it arrived. Good selection of Beer too. Venue is very accommodating for Gluten-Free diets. Served by Sadid, Eva and Mareey, all of whom were amazing for our needs.

Kate Fearnley

Delicious but there are a lot of “‘may contains” on the menu, despite the fact that there are no gluten ingredients in the meal. Frustratingly there was only two main meal options available for coeliacs, which was disappointing seeing as most of the menu could easily be naturally gluten free with a bit of thought!

Had a wonderful time at Fatt Pundit and offered the following: -Guava Chilli Cocktail: Refreshing guava juice without much spice minus the salt rim -Mango Szechuan Cocktail: Refreshing mango juice with a little spice from the szcechuan spirit but not too overwhelming -Popcorn Cauliflower: Perfectly crisped with a delicious soya garlic sauce -Kolkata Chilli Duck: Star of the show with very flavorful strips of duck -Malabar Monkfish Curry: Similar to a Moilee curry and was a perfect blend of fish and light sauce; just as good as the duck! -Burnt Ginger Rice: Recommended pairing to the Malabar Monkfish Curry -Stir fry broccoli: Simple but still yummy broccoli dish -Egg Szechuan Fried Rice: The only time we did not like; spicy but not very flavorful Geet and Alex did a great job in taking our orders and making sure our gluten intolerance was taken into account. Really loved this restaurant and highly recommend anyone in London to walk-in or make a reservation ahead of time.

This place invites to a great evening with family and friends. And quite fun too, as you enjoy wonderful indian dishes while sitting on a swing (yes, you read correctly). For all in need of glutenfree food, you find lots to choose between here. A special thank you to Michael for his welcoming service and glimt in his eye. We will be back ;)

Ellie Mcdonald

Absolutely amazing food and wonderful service. Plenty of gluten free choices and perfect place to share a couple of dishes with friends or just have something to yourself, although not the cheapest definitely worth the price.

Silvia Bertoni

We had a wonderful experience! Our waiter, Fuhad, was very kind and helpful — he guided us in choosing gluten-free and lactose-free dishes that respected our allergies. The place is lovely and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Five stars, highly recommended!

Wendy Morris

We had visited from Nottingham and were very lucky to find this place around the corner from the theatre. We had the Vegan Thali feast and every mouthful was sublime. Every mouthful. Shiva reassured me on the gluten free standards and was able to offer gluten free beer too. Lovely decor, friendly service and fab food. We'll be back.

Eleanor Young

Really yummy food. I have been multiple times and great for gluten free options

JJ Lam

Great for gluten free options! Such unique flavours, will definitely remember to come back if I'm in Eastbourne again!

Brooke McGorisk

We had a fabulous lunch and the staff was so amazing! Have plenty of gluten free options for people with celiac.

Jess Dendy

We had a wonderful first experience at bandook this evening. The food is such high quality, amazing flavours and so hot and fresh. The menu has a wide variety of the dishes to choose from and everything was delicious. I have coeliac, and gluten free (and vegetarian and dairy free) items are clearly marked on the menu (large selection to choose from). The squid and duck dosa were my personal favourites, and both things you’d usually not expect to be gluten free! Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning! Thank you for such a lovely meal!

Beth Gilde-Young

Really lovely restaurant, with a sparkling atmosphere. The food was delicious with an extensive gluten free menu. All the gluten free dishes were very nice and the variety was great. Would definitely eat here again. It’s so great to see a gluten free menu displayed outside alongside the other menus.

debra mitcheson

Food was delicious. First time my partner and I have visited the restaurant and certainly will be coming back. Service was great, Shruthi was very helpful as I have an intolerance to gluten and was advised on best options. The gluten free menu was excellent.

Jennifer Brenneman

The view was perfect, the food was tasty, and the prices reasonable. I would go back again. I was particularly grateful for the clearly marked gluten free menu!

Great for gluten free.

We were served by Joe and Evan tonight, who gave very friendly, down to earth service. The food had great flavours, restaurant is lovely atmosphere, and there are many options for my partner who is coeliac. This was our first time visiting after being recommended by a colleague, and it was made really special by the team. We will definitely return again soon

Michelle Cabena

A great gluten friendly menu and portions are very generous.

Sandrine Lloyd

Probably the best Indian restaurant I have been to. Really authentic, refined and delicious food. Amazing service too. The staff created a dairy free and gluten free curry for my mum. They were the nicest people. And the decor is stunning. Would highly recommend.

Yvonne Rogers

Staff were friendly and were careful to understand my allergy requirements. Lots of gluten free options and the dosa was amazing!

Daniela Bruckner

Such a lovely atmosphere with dim lighting and sparkly lights. I had the lamb curry with rice and it was really good! My friend is gluten free and had some sticky chicken which wasn’t great to be honest. Had brownies for dessert which were gluten free with ice cream and they were lovely! There’s a meal offer they do for 2 people for about £25 each which looks really good and includes a variety of things as well as dessert.

Really poor for gluten intolerant people. The QR code isn’t accurate and shows only 2 times available. Made for a very stressful hard way to order. Needs a GF paper menu to specify what has CONTACT with gluten and what has gluten INSIDE.

Annie

As a coeliac, I have to be very confident that a restaurant understands the need to not only provide me with gluten free food, but also that they have understood the risk of cross contamination to me. I emailed the restaurant in advance and they took my concerns extremely seriously. The Manager personally spoke to the team to ensure they could cater for me and then processed my order directly keeping me updated via email. On the day of the delivery, I was telephoned in advance to reassure me that the delivery had been prepared safely. And my goodness, when it arrived it was absolutely delicious! As a coeliac it is hard to be confident eating out, but it was wonderful to have my concerns taken extremely seriously and I was perfectly ok after eating. Thank you to all the team, you made my evening!

Fab vegetarian and vegan options. Gluten- free options clearly labelled in the menu (waiters seemed understanding about cross contamination for our Coeliac). Extra seating upstairs is excellent (if a bit hot)...

Yvonne Stamp

Tried the Koconut Grove for the first time today and we'll definitely be back. Our son is Coeliac so cannot eat anything with gluten. We were so impressed by their knowledge of cross contamination. They took their time to explain what was gluten free, what to avoid and really went out of their way to make sure our son knew what was safe to eat. The food was delicious, the staff amazing what more can you ask for.

Liljia Polo-Richards

Everything about your business, and you Anna Riley, is simply brilliant and inspiring - I love how committed you are to catering for everyone. This is the second year The English Indian has catered for our conference and the food was a huge success again. Gluten free food, which is also allergy friendly for other allergies... what's not to like?! Thank you xx

Ezgi

Delicious food and lots of options for gluten free!

Oliver Wood

A place with cool atmosphere and average food. Sadly, a very strange and rude attitude serving people with intolerances or allergies. I have a dairy and gluten intolerance. The servers told me to check a confusing online allergen menu myself with no guidance rather than answer any question about the menu. Then, we ordered the nachos with yogurt on the side, not an abnormal request. A manager literally came to us to tell us having the yogurt on the side would inherently alter the dish and they couldn't do it. I worked in hospitality for 6+ years and this is absolutely crazy. We were blown away by the arrogance of this, which seems to be decision from the chef, not the FOH. It's not haute cuisine, it's fusion nachos at a chain restaurant. Just put the yogurt on the side. Overall, food is acceptable, nothing remarkable, and the atmosphere is cool - but you would get better allergen service even at the worst of chain pubs. Would not come back.
