Babu Ji

The owner-chef has coeliac disease himself, so the kitchen is led by someone who needs to avoid gluten. Curries are naturally GF and the GF naans are prepared in a dedicated space. Papadams share a fryer with gluten items, so those are not safe. Multiple coeliac diners report no reactions across several visits and the venue is listed as coeliac-friendly on FindMeGlutenFree with multiple positive safety reviews.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.
