Top 26 Gluten-Free Indian Cuisine Havens to Explore in North Carolina

Viran Patel

I love this place! The food was well presented, and absolutely delicious! You can taste that the food was made from scratch from the freshness of the spices, giving it a home made feel! The staff were very pleasant and we were lucky to sample some other dishes on the menu. There are gluten free options too. Excited to go back and try more dishes!

Jennifer Adolfie

Excellent food with many gluten free options! GF options are clearly marked on the menu. The GF bun was awesome. Definitely recommend!

Jen

This was a fabulous dining experience! Plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. The reason that I knocked off one star is that the dhal I ordered was so insanely salty! But it was very tasty. The atmosphere is awesome. It is a great place to meet up with friends.

Alivia Byers

Absolutely the most delicious Indian food ever! The spices were amazing, generous portions, and everything on the menu was labeled clearly for allergies, including so many gluten free options. The restaurant is very clean and the service (particularly Edwin) was so fast and extremely helpful. Can’t recommend enough!

Fred Lybrand

Cool interior. Lengthy, exhaustive menu. Gluten free gf menu items are labeled. Staff is very friendly. During our meal, something went wrong - delaying our order. Owner and manager apologized and gave us a dessert. Very thoughtful.

Kyro Bartolacci

Absolutely fantastic! The food is amazing, the staff is wonderful and very attentive, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Most of their food is gluten-free and they have some vegan/vegetarian options too. The food came out quickly even when they were busy. The portions are large and very satisfying. Five stars all around!

Not only is the food incredible, but the staff, chefs, and owners are in a class of their own. My husband recently discovered he has Celiac, and we rarely eat out as a result. I am from Asheville, and we even have trouble finding places consistently Celiac-friendly there. We risked going to Square Root recently at my suggestion because I’d been a decade ago and remember it being fantastic and considerate regarding dietary issues. We were not disappointed, and we keep going back. John is a wonderful waiter and we have been lucky enough to have his help every time we’ve gone. I cook a lot, and it takes a good deal to impress me. Everything on Square Root’s menu is beautiful. Highly recommend!!!

Ben Pattison

Amazing gluten free options! They were so happy to accommodate. Anand and Napoleon were so nice

Teresa Pigeon

I’ve been a regular at Kababish for years, and just getting around to posting a review. Their food is delicious - fresh and full of flavor… consistently. The staff, many of whom are family, are friendly and attentive. I have celiac, so I cannot eat gluten. They are aware of gluten free needs; most items are naturally gluten-free, and they can easily modify many dishes to accommodate many dietary requirements. This gem tucked in downtown Cary is my favorite in Cary - because of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. It’s my go-to for my birthday, and Mother’s Day as well! My favorite dishes are butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, kabobs, and lahora bhindi (okra). And of course the mango lassi!

Jayme Berggren

Food was delicious! We had 3 different chicken dishes. And three different desserts! Service was excellent ! All of the food items were gluten free except for Chili Naam! We were given extra chili sauce to accommodate different palates!

Jamie Campbell

Amazing food, wonderful staff! Great gluten free options!

Sunny C

Absolutely loved the buffet so many options if you are a vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free. The ambiance is so cozy and service was on point. Loved the watermelon juice it’s at the bar.

Deborah

Our family is a big fan of Indian food, and had hoped to pay a visit to Cilantro for a while now. Dinner was so delicious! Gluten free diners know what a challenge it can be dining out, and I was pleasantly surprised by their extensive GF options. Loved the saag paneer I had, and my family enjoyed their dishes as well. The staff and manager/owner were so kind and helpful, and the ambiance is lovely. Thanks, Cilantro! Hope to return soon. :)

Amanda McLenon

Yatin gave great service today and as always Mela was delicious! I love that they have so many veggie options and always a gluten free bread option (like papadum). Fresh and yummy! Happy to see they are reopened after the storm

Emily Newsome

This place is delicious! Safe gluten free options and sweet, hospitable staff! Ravi treated us to Masala Chai tea after our meal, on the house. By the consumer demographic, you know the food is authentic ;-) one entree was plenty for two to split, and the missi roti was GF naan!

Jb B

Service was awesome and food was great. Had the lamb tikka masala along with the paneer and meat platter. Tons of gluten free also. Couldn’t recommend anymore!

Kristen Baumlier-Faber

We came here with my two daughters. They brought out an extra appetizer for the kids cause they were so hungry. My one daughter has gluten and vegan allergies and they were able to make a chicken curry for her that she loved that was allergen free. Our waiter was very attentive and made it a great relaxing time for the kids and us. Food was excellent, the portions are large, so we have leftovers that we took home. We’re gonna come back on the weekend for the buffet —-

Hannah Prewitt

Me and my mother wanted to try an Indian restaurant close to where we were, and Shukkranaa's nailed it! The food was delightful and flavorful, if a bit spicy. We ordered the Aloo Tikki Chat for an appetizer, my mother ordered the Channa Masala(mild) under the Classics section, and I got the Chicken Korma(medium). Mom's dish was a bit spicier than expected, and it definitely was noticeable right off the bat. Mine was a more subtle heat that stuck on the tongue and throat. Delicious food overall! And the service was great! When we asked if the Korma was gluten free, the waiter made sure to double check with the kitchen!

Divinity All Natural Products

Delicious food, lots of options for veggies or meat, even drinks. Tons of gluten free and vegan options as well. Spiced perfectly, can get non spicy and spicy as well. Our toddler even loved the food. Great service as well!

Food and service are always great! Gluten-free options. Highly recommend.

Sandra Lefenfeld

This is THE PLACE to get Indian food in the Winston-Salem area. The food is consistently well prepared and totally delicious. It is obvious that it is cooked with love. The service is always friendly and attentive. I've eaten here weekly for about a year - there isn't a bad dish on the menu, but the Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta, Vegetable Korma, and anything from the Tandoor are particularly good choices. And the Vegetable Pakoras are a great choice to start. As a bonus, many of the dishes are gluten-free, so it's any easy choice if GF is a concern.

Barbie Patterson

Excellent food. Menu has items labeled gluten free which is extremely helpful for me.,

Bryanna Meyer

WOOOW!!! I rarely leave reviews. This may very well be my first, certainly in years. However my experience this evening was so absolutely phenomenal I had to immediately hop on here to let the world know. Food: hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in…..years? Idk all I know is that the flavors were SO on point and perfect that I literally lost my train of thought mid sentence first bite. (To no fault of my hot date). Seriously out of this world flavor. I had the lamb Biryani my husband had something as equally delicious I can’t remember the name of. Both were to die for. The flavors and the textures and the tenderness of the meat I mean, truly impeccable. Cocktails: surprised this is a whole section? ME TOO!!! I had NO IDEA I would have the best old fashion I’ve had, maybe ever, at an Indian restaurant but HOLY MOLY!!! Fantastic!!! Service: our server (Autumn) was not only a complete gem, but also super knowledgeable, accommodating, attentive, but just all around lovely and incredibly fun to banter and chat with. I will be coming back (we’ve only ever been to the buffet and this was dinner), I will be bringing my parents, (they are huge foodies), I will be telling EVERYONE how amazing our whole experience was. And I will leave this GLOWING review because it’s the least I can do after such an astounding meal. Thank you. Also last thing, nearly everything was Gluten Free which I am which was dope.

Danica Jackson

Formerly Wild Cook; they no longer have gluten free Naan and the recipes are slightly different but still excellent!

Aja Salaam

Amazing! Great food. Good variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Not much for the gluten free crowd but still a great experience. Will definitely be back.

Rodney Holcomb

Amazingly fresh and delicious food whether from the menu or luncheon buffet. Staff are helpful and friendly. Most every dish is gluten free as well!

Dipesh Rai

The food at Curry House is absolutely incredible! I recently discovered this gem on DoorDash, and today, a coworker suggested we order takeout for the office. The food is also of much higher quality than the average restaurant. Amazing service, delicious food, and on-point ambiance. All meals are cooked to order. While takeout is good, dining in is even better. Kushal is an impeccable host! I've been to Wake Forest many times and had no idea that Curry House existed! This is a fantastic little Indian place with a sizable menu that clearly lists gluten, dairy, and vegan distinctions. They also ask about spice tolerance on a scale of 1-10. Everything we tried was delicious, and we will definitely be back! Curry House has become my favorite place to eat. I love how personal Kushal has become; he knows my order and is always so nice. He consistently goes above and beyond, and that is very much appreciated. I will forever love Curry House—it feels just like home. Also, their momo's are to die for! If you love dumplings, you have to try them. They are perfectly steamed with flavorful fillings and just the right amount of spice. Curry House has truly captured my heart and taste buds!

Joy Unspeakable Joy in 2019

Exquisite. Surpassed my expectations. The restaurant is gorgeous. The food is outstanding. I highly recommend the KOZHI VEPUDU and the Yellow Tail Red Snapper Coastal Curry, especially if you require gluten and dairy free. Both were amazing! The staff is wonderful. I loved that the owner and chef both came to check on us throughout the night. Tamasha is the best fine dining experience I've had so far - better than Parizade and G58! If you're on the fence - visit Tamasha first!

Rebekah Wilson

The food is delicious - great flavors, good quality and we’ve liked everything we’ve ordered! Tons of gluten free options. Our server, Raj, was fantastic -- friendly, great recommendations & attentive! He made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Bruce Adams

Most of the food we ordered was superb. Wait staff was friendly and very helpful. There were lots of gluten free options (kitchen is not dedicated) including some very fun dosas.

Ashi Rehan

We stopped in Greensboro on our journey back to Durham and we had chai here. We also ordered dinner to go. The chai was great except that is was not hot enough. We also had dessert on the spot. The serving size was rather small and left my daughter wanting another bowl. Besides that, the taste of both the rice pudding and rasmalai was great. The service was great and they answered all of my questions related to my daughters gluten free restrictions. Now once we get home, will see how good the main dishes are, but until now, it was great experience. My one complaint however, is that the service took a bit more time than I expected considering that we only ordered 2 cups of chai and a rasmalai and rice pudding on the spot. And the time to make and pack the actual order also took much more time than expected.

Shanah Bell

We stopped into Transfer Food Hall while downtown hanging out. They had a lot of gluten free and vegetarian options for me. I decided to try the Palak Paneer and the Onion Bhaji (vegan) as an appetizer since I'd never tried them before. Both were delicious and and the portion sizes were huge! The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back again.

Janesha Hassaram

This is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in the area! I've lived here over 25 years, and it's been a challenge to find good quality, authentic Indian food. I've been here several times, and have ordered a wide variety:biryani, naan, paneer, dal makhni, saag, gobi manchurian, and malai kofta. All absolutely outstanding! I've added pictures below of the chicken biryani and Malai kofta. They have recently updated their menu too, and it identifies common allergens such as vegan, and nuts. All the entrees are gluten free too. Definitely will be back!!

Karson Childers

A beautiful place to wait for your take out. Friendly staff. The Indian cocktail are so beautiful and unique. The menu has so many choices for anyone. Gluten free and Vegetarian Friendly!!

Rachel Robison

They have an amazing brunch! Super gluten-free friendly, delicious food, great atmosphere, and the nicest staff. I have Celiac’s and Lavina was so kind and helpful, answering all my questions and making sure our whole group had a fantastic brunch. Can’t wait to go back!

Allison Wrenn

posting from my mom's account.... Me and my girlfriend visited the restaurant last night. It was amazing. service was great, food was great, atmosphere was great. the staff was very aware of my gluten allergy and made sure i didn't eat the wrong thing. highly recommended

Robert Travis

Since we first came to this place over a year ago we have made it one of our most regular restaurants in town and they have never disappointed. The food is always excellent, and the service attentive but not overly so. Raj always greets us with a smile and knew what we liked on our second visit, even though weeks had passed from the first. We've explored many items on the menu and always found the flavors distinct and the spiciness exactly what we ordered (each of our family have different levels of spice preference). One of our family has celiac and has never had a reaction showing good cooking methods preventing cross contamination of gluten. Our favorites are the vegetable pakora, Tandoori chicken, lamb Tikka, and lamb Chettinad, always with the Saffron rice. While the atmosphere from the outside isn't attractive (this is clearly some sort of recycled fast food place) and the bathrooms don't smell great (something not having to do with cleanliness) they have turned the dining room into a very pleasant experience. It's not crowded before 7pm even on Friday and Saturday. We plan to return frequently!

Lorena Gomez.

Amazing hidden gem in university! Authentic Pan Asian Cuisine! I finally found a place who has all my favorite Pan Asian dishes along with a ton of gluten free options! I will definitely become a regular.

Dug Lebel

The food is so amazing! This was our first time and we came at the recommendation of someone else. Everything we had was cooked well and was just so yummy. Our particular server seemed very distracted, so he was not very attentive, but everyone else we interacted with was excellent, friendly, and helpful. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten and dairy (I cannot each either) so I was thankful for that. We can’t wait to go back to try the lunch buffet!

Bonnie Johnson

Fantastic food. Loved it. Lots of fabulous options that are gluten free

Life Insure

Owner came out and helped us pick out gluten free optipns and then came out and made sure our food was great and it was soooo good!! I'm huge into customer service and he was awesome!!

Lisa Keaveney

The food is wonderful, ask about gluten-free foods, the wait staff is knowledgeable about the food served there.

Kristen Butler

Number one best Indian place in Raleigh! We normally get takeout, but we took some out of town friends who are vegan and gluten free, and they were delighted! They couldn't stop saying how good it was. They were very accommodating of dietary requirements and the food, as always, was incredible. The worst part about coming here is eventually I run out of leftovers.

Vanya Wright

Good Indian food with plenty of vegan and gluten free options. Alert: their rice-based breads are NOT gluten free. They will tell you if you ask. My bad for making assumptions.

ZenFit Family Studio

The food here is amazing for both vegans and meat-eaters alike. I love the choices of vegan and gluten-free items, and the spices are perfect!! I highly recommend the rani tikki, and my husband loves the chicken tikka masala. We’ve dined here about five times since they’ve opened. We think it’s awesome!!

Charlotte Websolutions

There are several good restaurants in Charlotte for Indian food - this is by far the best, in my opinon. The food was delicious, the pricing was reasonable, we had no worries about gluten contamination, and the gentleman who took our order was extremely helpful. He took pride in his restaurant and it showed. Thanks VJ!

Solaric Tracker

Very good food. Excellent service. If you haven't tried Indian food before come at lunch and try the buffet. Lots of gluten free options.

I drove out of the way with a bunch of kids to eat their gluten free pizza as they advertised online and in their in person menu. When I went to order they stated they didn’t carry it anymore. Terrible and rude customer service.

Tara Williams

The chai is their own blend and delicious! My mom has celiac disease, and all of their sauces are gluten free. We ordered coconut curry, tika masala, butter chicken, a lovely cauliflower appetizer, and masala fries. Each was delicious. They also made the tika as spicy as we wanted and brought some more spicy oil on the side. The service was attentive, quick, and personal. There is also beer and wine…one of the best lunches we have had…every single thing was great!
