Gluten Free at the Taj Mahal in Lancaster, PA

I recently ate at the Taj Mahal Indian Restaurant in Lancaster, PA. Before being seated, I discussed my gluten sensitivity with the owner, Mani Sharma. He informed me that there is no flour used in their foods except for the bread. All of the sauces are cream or tomato/vegetable-based and flour is never used as a thickening agent.

Mani assured me that I could eat anything except for the bread. As a standard precaution I would also avoid anything coming out of the deep fryer. (According to the menu, most of the Taj's appetizers use chickpea flour. However, I neglected to ask Mani if any other items using regular flour go into the fryer.) I asked a couple questions about cross-contamination and was satisfied enough with the answers to proceed with my meal.

I enjoyed my vegetarian dish and did not experience any nausea or sickness afterward.
