Dishoom

Dishoom offers a gluten-marked allergen menu (via QR code) with a small number of items confirmed free from gluten ingredients, but operates an open kitchen where naan and bread are made on premises, no dedicated fryer, and no dedicated kitchen space. Staff are generally knowledgeable and flag dishes, but cannot guarantee against cross-contamination; many items carry a 'may contain gluten' warning even on the allergen menu.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Dishoom offers a gluten-marked allergen menu (via QR code) with a small number of items confirmed free from gluten ingredients, but operates an open kitchen where naan and bread are made on premises, no dedicated fryer, and no dedicated kitchen space. Staff are generally knowledgeable and flag dishes, but cannot guarantee against cross-contamination; many items carry a 'may contain gluten' warning even on the allergen menu.

Honest caveat: Multiple self-identified coeliac reviewers across at least three independent branch listings report becoming ill after eating here, and one reviewer was served the wrong dish despite assurances it was gluten-free.
