The exotic spices and flavors found in international dishes lead to a unique culinary adventure when dining at ethnic restaurants. And for people with dietary restrictions or preferences, such as sensitivity to gluten, these restaurants also offer a wider accessibility to their menu. Instead of reading down the menu only to find one or two gluten-free options, Indian and Thai restaurants provide a wide variety of dishes that are naturally gluten-free.
At these ethnic restaurants, curry is king for the gluten-free crowd.
