Top 50 Gluten-Free Indian Spots to Explore in London

J Hickman

Not CELIAC friendly Only 5 items can be made entirely gluten free and while staff is knowledgeable they mention cross contamination and I got sick

Sara Cherifi

The options for people with allergies (dairy and gluten) are limited, but the staff took them seriously. The vibe is nice, but better to go when it's less full.

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.

Ludovica Migliardi

Great food, I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala! The wait staff was also really friendly and also catered to my gluten allergy. I will gladly come back ❤️

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!!

Very good address! A menu with a choice of vegan and gluten-free options, everything is fresh and tasty.

Gianni Bianco

Alayna was absolutely amazing - I her service was absolutely outstanding and made us feel super welcome. She was so helpful and friendly - we care about sharing this feedback because we understand it goes a long way in this industry. Alayna was very thorough advising for which dishes were gluten free and we had incredible food. Thank you again - E & G

Geri Morton

Raj was excellent..helped me navigate the gluten free options! Food was really interesting and tasty. Def recommend

Rebecca Greenwood

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)...

Alan Hill

Don't come here if you have Celiacs. Nothing on the menu says GF and the choice is extremely restricted. None of the starters are available to you. Indian cuisine has many dishes that don't contain wheat or barley. But not here!

Samantha Elliott

Best food for gluten free allergies

I went on a fabulous fourth date here. The location was very convenient for both myself and my date as we were meeting after work. He was annoyed that he could not book a table in advance and I know Dishoom don’t allow for this, you have to queue. Kings Cross has completely changed, I really liked where Dishoom was. They told us we would have to queue for up to 40 minutes but truthfully it was more 20 minutes before we were inside. The lovely staff gave us tasty mini lemonades whilst waiting in the queue which was a lovely touch. I loved the decor in here. We were initially taken downstairs into the bar area and I was about to order my Mocktail when our table was ready. They had a decent selection of gluten free options for my date which was good and the waitress was very knowledgeable about this as well. I had a delicious Rose and cardamom lassi and an Espresso martini mocktail. As an Asian woman and a proficient home cook, I know what Indian food is and how the standard should be. I really liked my starter but my date’s starter of bhel was pretty dry, they did not give much sauce whereas I know there should have been more. The seekh kebabs were amazing as was my chicken biriyani. It was too much food for me and the portions were huge. I took the biriyani home and gave it to my daughter who is at uni who equally loved it. I love the decor and atmosphere, we had a really fun date here. I would love to come again for breakfast/brunch. ☺️💕

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.

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.

Connor Hudson

Amazing restaurant with so many options of vegetarian and gluten free food. That’s on top of the incredible meat dishes. And Naman topped it off with his amazing service. Will definitely be coming back

Michael Coelho

Delicious Indian fare in a comfy laid back restaurant. Wonderful options for gluten free and vegetarian restrictions. Seasonal items were delicious, okra fries and masala chips. Great service. Russell is a great host.

Leon Bumüller

We had delicious, authentic Indian dishes (including gluten-free options) and a great time with our waiter, Shuybe.

Black Out

Possibility of eating gluten-free, very pleasant and very delicious food, very good atmosphere and attention

John Newman

Can’t say enough about the food and service here! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating for my gluten allergy, and the food was delicious. We also loved the atmosphere!

Kristi Weisenburger

The food and service were excellent. Barry was very attentive to us and my gluten allergy. I highly recommend Masala. Thanks Barry!

The King's Arms at Hanwell Broadway is a great neighborhood pub. It offers delicious wood fired pizzas with vegetarian and gluten free options and a broad selection of drinks. There are craft beers and a wide range of gins on offer on top of the usual pub drinks. They also offer discounts, £7 pizza Monday to Wednesday and other discounts for NHS staff, key workers etc The staff are always knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly with quiz nights, live music nights and sports tv channels. There is also a good sized garden at the rear. I would definitely recommend a visit to the Kings Arms in Hanwell.

Laura Lagonigro

All the good reviews are not wrong. Great food, roughly 1/3 of the menu was vegan, and some gluten free, but not only. The bread and the dosa were just so delicious with the crunchy veg and spicy sauces. Great value as we spent just over £40 for two (without drinks, we just had water). I'll definitely be back and south Indian cuisine is becoming my new favourite!

Sophia Huebscher

Very friendly service, giving us tips on the dishes and they were extra careful with the gluten free and had excellent knowledge on what was coeliac-friendly and what not! The food was lovely and arrived quickly and we had a wonderful time! 😊

Thomas Winward

Wonderful spread of food including many gluten free options and great awareness of allergens. Thank you!

Rich

My favourite restaurant in London. Nothing beats the food, service, location, and staff. Amazing for gluten free requirements!

Florence Minchella (Flo)

Went last night and it was absolutely wonderful! The food and cocktails were fantastic but what stood out to me was the care they gave to my intolerance. I’m gluten intolerant so it can be quite hard to go out to eat and it can feel embarrassing having the huuuuge allergen folder dumped at your table for you to flick through! Our server instead labelled my menu with all the items containing gluten and the ones that could be made gluten free to order. They said they’re working on a qr code but for now this is how they label allergens. I thought it was wonderful and will definitely be coming back!

Seray Hussein

Gluten free friendly

Tara Ram

I found this restaurant online as I was looking for genuinely gluten-free dosa i.e. free from cross-contamination. I called them in advance and when I arrived, the gentleman I spoke to on the phone came out from the kitchen to reassure me everything would be gluten-free. The masala dosa was lovely and you could tell everything was cooked fresh i.e. not just the dosa itself but the potato and the sambar. Service was great too.

aaron mckee

I grew up eating Indian food, this was some of the best (maybe the best) I've ever had. We popped into Zaika because it was across from Kensington Palace, we got there 20 minutes before they closed to prep for dinner. Everything we had was absolutely fantastic and they had gluten free roti that was sublime.

Ilaria Guerra

Loveeeee this place the food is amazing, the staff is so kind and the vibe is PINK and cozy and love it love it!!! Go and bring your friends!! Vegetarian restaurant with vegan and gluten free options ❤️💚

Melissa Reynolds

Really really good food & at a valuable price. Service was best we have had in London - all really in tune and striving for excellence. Sam & co were brilliant. Good gluten free options too.

Luly Jaya

We spent an excellent evening in this warm restaurant with its subdued lights. This is not the first time we have come and we are always captivated by the flavor of the dishes. The menu clearly lists allergens and there are several vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is attentive and we are always served quickly. Flawless and an address to which we return each time we visit London.

Beth Molyneux

Such a great spot for South Indian food! You’ll discover Indian dishes you didn’t know existed, not just your standard curry menu. Overwhelming number of choices for veg/vegan and they even cater to onion/garlic/gluten free. Great for sharing and discovering new tasty dishes. Lovely service too. Basic decor but very clean and authentic.

Hannah Samano

Second time here and absolutely love it. Amazing for gluten free! Jay made us feel very welcome and I’m excited to come back and try more of the menu soon! The masala dosa and the matter paneer were amazing.

Helmine B

The fiery Lamb dish was incredible! Lots of spices and a good choice for an indian evening. They were helpful concerning allergies. They have no gluten-free kitchen but seemed knowledgeable in decreasing the risk for gluten cross contamination. Helpful staff and good wines on the menu! Thank you for a lovely evening.

Chris Lipe

Solid food, great service, lots of options for gluten free and vegetarian

cristina O

Restaurant with a very pleasant, spacious atmosphere, attentive and friendly workers. As for the menu, it is very extensive which makes it easy to find an optimal option. As for gluten, the menu was reduced, but I was still able to choose from several dishes. Of course, if you are sensitive to spiciness, like in my case, you should ask for extra rice to neutralize it haha.

Becci Johnson

We absolutely loved the food and the service 😀 6 of us, 1 gluten free celiac had a variety of starters and mains, and loved every dish. My husband and I have been 4 times, with seasonal menu changes and always come away wanting to come back. An absolute must try!

Emily Wilkes

Had a delicious meal with friends at Timur, the service was great. I am allergic to wheat and they were able to cater for this across most of the menu items - the onion bhajis in particular are delicious and gluten free. A lovely local restaurant that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Preeti Sawlani

Super delicious and authentic Indian food! Chicken tikka and paneer was tender and well made!! On top of that, the chef specifically customised chilli chicken to cater for my gluten free husband who hasn’t had this dish in years!! We will be frequenting this spot :)

Rhys James

Really lovely staff and welcoming. The food was incredible and I felt comfortable talking about my gluten allergy with them. They told me 95% of items were gluten free (including all the curries). I would recommend you to go. Indu was a great server.

Christian Tallarico

Had a great experience with Bikash!! Great cocktails and great food. Very gluten free friendly

Caroline Da Cunha Lewin

We came here for my partner’s birthday. We tried each of the main curry (dahl, cauliflower, egg and potato and curry special with pol roti and muttonless roll on the side). All were absolutely delicious and so flavourful. Absolutely lovely manager - we were informed that we only had the table for a little over an hour but we needed to stay longer for a surprise I had planned for my partner. The manager was wonderful about this and very attentive when taking our orders. Only negative - we started the meal with some chai lattes. My partner’s mother is coeliac so we double checked the oat milk was GF. Heard the manager say it was GF but not for coeliacs, the waitress then came back and said yup, my partner’s mum could drink as was GF (missing the crucial “not for coeliacs” comment), which we then double double checked - not great, but obviously only one experience! She was a bit grumpy about being asked at all hence us making a note of it but coeliac is coeliac and we needed to clarify. Would definitely come back though, lovely restaurant.

Lena Marie

Very good food, friendly staff and nice ambiance. It is possible to order vegan & gluten free food.

sophie mei

went here with a friend! service was super quick and the food was delicious!!! i’m vegetarian and have celiacs disease but there was still a wide range of options on the menu, so great for those with dietary restrictions :)

sarah laskaris

Everything from start to finish here was perfection and it’s on my list to go again the next time we are in London. We made a reservation about two months in advance where they asked for us to add in any dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, etc). They have specific menus that highlight dishes that people with restrictions can consume which is so helpful! I am not the biggest gin drinker, but their classic pink g&t tasted so light and refreshing. My friend ordered the masala margarita and also loved her drink. The stars of the show for me was the Aloo Chat, Lasooni Wild Tiger Prawns, and the Chicken Butter Masala. The move here is definitely to order a bunch of dishes, and share among the table so you can get a taste of everything! The service at Gymkhana is also unmatched. Someone was always stopping by at just the right time to refill drinks, ask if we had any questions or needed anything else. While we were unfortunately too full for a proper dessert, they left us with little cubes similar to a Turkish delight that were so tasty! Cannot wait to come back.

Nikki Palladino

A great big thanks to Trishna’s wonderful staff, including Manesh, for making us feel so welcome celebrating my wife’s birthday, whilst we were visiting from The States. I’m gluten sensitive and both my wife and I were able to order our favorite foods off of the restaurant’s respective tasting menus. Gorgeous dishes prepared with such care and delicate spices. Best Negroni I’ve ever tasted. Can’t wait to return!

Elliott Wooster

Well labelled food catering to everyone. As a gluten free vegetarian there’s PLENTY of choice here. I’ve just moved nearby and I’ve now been 3x. The staff are INCREDIBLE and friendly, they always seem to go above and beyond. Suni is just awesome and has a great natural banter - it seems with everyone! Whenever I see her another table everyone seems to be enjoying her! The food is amazing, every dish I try I’m always blown away by how good it is. Even their kind of standard dishes are next level! Their onion bajhis, which Ive always thought of as an afterthought side, are BEAUTIFUL. I’m sure I’ll be here a lot given that I’ve lived here 5 weeks and been 3x.

Pete Beal

Lovely food, incredible flavours and gluten free, the staff were wonderful giving my 70 year old sister a lovely evening to remember on her birthday! For a party of 4 siblings
