Gluten-Free Dining FAQ

Does SPICE ROOM have gluten-free Indian food?

Yes! Over 25 dishes on our menu are naturally gluten-free, including most curries (Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, Chana Masala, Vindaloo), all rice dishes and biryanis, tandoori items, and many appetizers. Our servers are trained to help you navigate GF options.

Is Indian food generally gluten-free?

Many traditional Indian dishes are naturally gluten-free since they're based on rice, lentils, vegetables, and spice-based sauces rather than wheat. At SPICE ROOM, our curries, biryanis, tandoori dishes, and most appetizers are GF. Breads like naan and samosas do contain wheat.

What gluten-free breads or sides are available?

Our rice dishes (plain basmati, jeera rice, biryani) are all gluten-free. We also offer papadums as a GF appetizer. While our naan and roti contain wheat, most curries pair beautifully with rice as a gluten-free alternative.

Does SPICE ROOM offer gluten-free catering?

Absolutely! We can build fully gluten-free catering menus for events of 20–500+ guests. Popular GF catering picks include Butter Chicken, Vegetable Biryani, Tandoori Chicken, Chana Masala, and Dal Makhani. Contact our catering team at (303) 558-0992 Ext 4 for a custom quote.
