Bombay Palace
The menu at the Waikiki location states all entrees are gluten free, and several coeliac diners report knowledgeable waitstaff. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes, the fryer is shared (fried items are not safe), and multiple reviews report reactions or inconsistent experiences. The Wanaka branch has a sign asking guests to declare allergies but no gluten-free menu and limited options. Careful questioning of staff each visit is essential; fried items should be avoided.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Honest caveat: At the Waikiki location, one coeliac diner reports a strong reaction after eating saag paneer; the shared fryer makes fried items unsafe.
