The Silver Oak Indian Cafe And Restaurant

The menu has a dedicated 'Main Course - Vegetarian' section with nine dishes, plus several vegetarian starters and sides. Many items are explicitly marked (Veg). The kitchen handles meat and seafood as well, so vegetarian dishes are prepared in a shared kitchen, but the clear menu separation and labelling make it easy to identify options.

The menu marks several dishes as GF (gluten-free), including onion bhajji, truffle mushroom tikka, lamb seekh kebab, paneer tikka, dal makhani, and many vegetarian curries. However, the kitchen is shared and also prepares wheat-based breads like naan and roti, so cross-contamination is possible. No dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Coeliac diners should confirm procedures with staff before ordering.

Several dishes carry a nut-free (NF) label, among them onion bhajji, chilly paneer, chole tikki chaat, Manchurian, and many tandoori starters. Some dishes, however, contain nuts or lack any label, for example kashmiri naan with nuts and malai kofta in nutty gravy. The kitchen uses nuts in some preparations, making cross-contamination possible. Confirmation with staff is recommended for those with nut allergies.

A few items are marked DF (dairy-free), such as Manchurian, but the menu does not have a dedicated vegan section or comprehensive vegan labelling. Many vegetarian dishes contain dairy (paneer, cream, ghee, yoghurt). Vegans will need to ask staff to identify suitable options and confirm no hidden dairy or honey.

Only one item (Manchurian) is marked DF (dairy-free). Many dishes contain dairy (paneer, cream, ghee, yoghurt, cheese naans, lassi). The menu does not systematically label dairy-free options. Dairy-free diners will need to discuss each dish with staff to find suitable choices.
