Top 12 Gluten-Free Indian Spots to Discover in Pittsburgh

Max Little

Great for vegans and people with gluten allergies. And everyone else.

The food was very good, as it always is. I don't eat from the buffet because I like the flavors of Indian food but I cannot have spicy (I have GI issues), so I order from the menu at a level 1 heat. They seemed offended that I wanted to order from the menu. I don't know why, it's definitely more expensive than the buffet. My son and his wife ordered the buffet. I also brought wine because they have a very limited wine menu. When they first installed the bar years ago they would still let you bring your own wine for the corkage fee. That is no more and they seemed offended that I asked. I honestly didn't know their policy had changed. So, that was fine, I left my wine in the bag I ordered wine from their menu. After my dinner came out I asked for some raita. That was met with what I would characterize as distain. Finally, since it was my son's birthday and his wife has gluten sensitivities I had brought some french macarons and one small birthday candle so that we could quietly sing. His wife and I literally whisper sang because we were becoming increasingly aware that the staff were giving us the side eye. After that I asked for a check and some boxes for my leftovers (again, NOT FROM THE BUFFET) and they seemed taken aback. But I had ordered the lamb tikka masala, and a garlic nan, and a vegetable korma all from the menu. It was a lot of food and I wasn't about to throw it all away. Food was still amazing but by the time I paid the check we felt very uncomfortable being there. My son said he felt like everyone was staring at us. I have been going to this restaurant for decades and have never been made to feel uncomfortable until last night. It's a shame that the service has changed so might that we didn't feel welcome. And it's not like the place was packed. We went at 7:00 and there were several open tables throughout the seating area. Not sure what was going on that evening but I'll have to think twice about going back. Also, they now provide Styrofoam for leftovers, not the foil containers they used to use. That is like a throw back in time. Fast food places don't even use Styrofoam any more. The service has certainly changed since the new ownership. For shame.

Loved it! Great food. Family friendly. Gluten-free options. Our family has been coming here since it opened. The restaurant is spacious but has a cozy atmosphere.

This restaurant is a treasure! Located in the burgeoning and diverse Pittsburgh neighborhood of Garfield, the buffet, from 1130am to 230pm M-S, is not to be missed. People’s is a small venue with no waiting area and today we arrived at 145pm to find every table filled. The wait was worth every minute! There are both vegan and meat-based options, mostly gluten free. The bread was incredible and nothing was too spicy, just delicious and perfectly seasoned. Dessert and coffee is included and large bottles of water are provided on each table. The tables are very close together but both customers and staff are friendly and polite. Every visit to Pittsburgh will now include People’s!

Excellent food and friendly people! We’ve tried at least 5 different things and all have been delicious. Appetizer fried paneer in a tomato based sauce, veggies with rice, spinach plate, saag, all very good.vegetarian and gluten-free options . Definitely recommend.

A nice new find for us - protein bowls and side dishes were very good! Staff was extremely friendly and helped us with gluten free options (one of us has celiac). Plan on coming back again.

Fantastic place for lunch! Very tasty and healthy Indian food. They have several dishes you can combine for your lunch every day, many of them are vegan and gluten-free. The owner makes everything himself and knows all ingredients in detail in case you have allergies etc. Highly recommended!

Bombay to Burgh is awesome! Combine the mix of a cozy setting, a truly kind staff, and scrumptious food, and you've got a winner. Every time we dine here, we feel so welcome and well-nourished. If you have any questions about the menu, the servers are happy to help. I have a gluten intolerance, and my knowledgeable server carefully went through the whole menu with me. Almost every option was gluten free, but she took time to steer me away from food that wasn't. In the midst of our meal, I looked around the full dining room, and saw other happy families and friends enjoying the experience just like us. This is a gem of a restaurant, and I feel so lucky to have them providing this type of experience in our beloved city of Pittsburgh.
