  • Ok, let me preface this review by stating I have Celiac's. If I eat gluten I get sick. Dinner becomes a not great experience after a few hours. You can stop reading now if you see where this review is headed and don't feel like my issues are relatable to you. Back to the review. After walking in on the Indian side of the restaurant with my sister and seeing literally no one in the seating area at 6:00pm on a Sunday, we were a little nervous. We tracked down a waiter at the bar on the Bamboo Garden side (1 restaurant - 2 sides, 2 entrances, but they connect in the middle). We were seated in a booth only slightly above ground level and given menus. Being somewhat familiar with Indian dishes and starving after Christmas shopping, we made some selections - birbali shorba (very zesty) and samosa (VERY SPICY) to start. I explained, "I'm allergic to wheat, my sister can't have nuts". We were planning on sticking with curry dishes with rice for me and some naan for my sister. The waiter assured me the sauces were prepared only with spices, no wheat, flour, nothing. Granted I've eaten Indian before with success, so I knew which dishes had been previously safe. But we were trying a new place, specializing in southern Indian flavors. My sister tried the Alu Ghobi (not on the menu but still offered if you ask) and the Chicken Tikka Masala (which was delicious). I tried the Lamb Saag (again, not on the menu but offered) which was the best buttery spinach version I've ever had, as well as the Chettinad an earthy dish with whole chilies. The rice was a bit of a disappointment as it was a tad over done, and the spices cooked with it weren't my taste. By the time we had finished our meal and packed up our many leftovers, more customers had joined us so we didn't feel so strange and alone. All was well...until a couple hours later. I'm not sure where I went wrong, if there indeed was gluten in one of the sauces, or what not. All my cherished leftovers had to be thrown away. I would have given the restaurant 3 stars with a warning to fellow celiacs, but then I remembered the bathroom at the restaurant. Let's just say I've seen nicer bathrooms as truck stops. So 2 stars is the best I can do for my personal review.
