Top 23 Gluten-Free Indian Spots to Explore in Chicago

The dosas, idli, sambar, ice cream… it’s all so wonderfully delicious and perfect for anyone anytime, whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten free or not. It’s worth a trip into the city by itself for sure and I’m sure I’ll be back soon.

A really cute vibe inside, food was varied and all very safely marked for gluten free or veg. Service was great as well. I got the veg platter special for Lunar New Year and my partner got the chickpea curry and loved it. The appam was very fresh and fluffy, and the yucca bites for an appetizer were great. We got ice cream and the rice cake for dessert because it looked so good, even though we were full. It was delicious! We'll definitely be back!

Definitely going to return to this restaurant! A friend and I came, and I’m gluten intolerant, but she can eat just about anything. She admitted later that she was nervous when she found out it was also vegan, but as soon as we got our first appetizer, we knew we were in good hands. Everything was fresh, deeply flavorful and nuanced And balanced, and delicious. We loved the lentil fritters, and the gluten-free samosas (which are softer than traditional wheat samosas but still very delicious), and the tamarind sauce they came with, and our entrées. Everything was delicious and filling! We barely had room for dessert but we were glad we did, dessert is wonderful if you like coconut. Though I’m not a huge fan of coconut shavings, which made up the bulk of the crust of the mango cake I got, I still was happy to finish it because it was just that good. Both of us were thinking of friends we could recommend the spot to before we were finished. I will say they take a little time to get dishes out, so keep that in mind— but freshness THAT good takes time!

Served by Khushi; she made us feel welcome, cared for my wife’s gluten allergy and provided exceptional service.

The first thing you're going to notice when you walk into this business is the aroma, it is so wonderful, it smells absolutely incredible in here! The next thing you're going to notice is how easy the menu is. It looks effortless, even though it was obviously curated over time with great care and precision. There are options for literally everyone. The gluten-free offerings are extensive! They are incredibly careful and gracious. If you have a food allergy, the staff is very well informed about which are the safe foods and which are not. If you are celiac, they did not make us feel in any way like an inconvenience or a problem. The food here is absolutely incredible, as are the chai drinks. We recommend this place all the time! Really hoping that this place is always here, because they never, ever disappoint.

This was my first Indian restaurant experience! My sister in law chose the restaurant and it was a perfect choice. I am one of those that always will choose something different on the menu and if I have never heard of it then I am going for it! I had the paneer pasanda and it is to DIE FOR. I can't even describe it. The sauce to dip the dish and my side of Naan in is quite addicting. Nothing was overly spicy or acidic, it was quite perfect. The pasanda was rich with creamy texture. I highly recommend the Sweet Potato Chaat, it was bursting with flavor being topped with the yogurt mousse. (Check out the photo!) And my significant other who went for a Gluten free option LOVED the tasty salmon and potato dish. The wall art was stunning and unique. Will definitely come back!

If you want fast, delicious food at reasonable prices, Rajun Cajun is a great choice. They have great variety, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Rajun Cajun also cares about their community and has been supporting Midwest Workers Association for over two decades. I encourage everyone to try this Hyde Park institution!

Excellent location! Food was to die for. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Staff was very accomodating for spice level preferences. Additionally, the server was extremely friendly and brought out some desserts on the house. What else can you ask for!

Shuri was our server and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took extra care to ensure everything I ordered was gluten free. Everyone here was super friendly and the service was superb. The food was delicious and it came out quickly.

I really, really wanted to give this place 5 stars but I have Celiac and told my server I'm allergic to gluten. She was very accommodating but I double checked with her if the samosas are GF, she said they were, and I've been violently ill and vomiting as a result. The food was really good and they do have a large gluten free selection, but if you have Celiac be wary.

I ordered Chicken tikka wrap with garbanzos and cucumber with mild sauce. This was seasoned well. And the wrap was flaky and warm 10/10. I also got a Mango smoothie which dairy, gluten and nut free. It was sweet and creamy. I’ll be going back

Alicia Farrell

Very good food. Lovely service. Vegan, Vegetarian, some gluten free, some dairy free, some carnivores - that was our family. All happy at the end.

Fantastic food and flavors. I don't usually go for chicken on my pizza. But I'm never not going to order the chicken on my pizza here. They make it taste so good! Also, GLUTEN FREE pizza crust that's crispy! Staff is super friendly as well.
