Cafe Diwali
90 Crane Street, Salisbury SP1 2QD
At a glance
Indian street-food on Crane Street in the Maltings — small plates, lunch and dinner menus, plus takeaways.
Gluten-free options
Cafe Diwali's official lunch and dinner menus mark many dishes GF — across nibbles, starters, curries, Malabar biriyani and sides (for example poppadums, onion bhaji, fish amritsari, chicken tikka, Kerala curries and dum biriyani). The menu states that many dishes are gluten free and asks guests with food allergies or intolerances to speak to a member of staff before ordering.
Before you order
This is an Indian kitchen with naan, porotta and other wheat-based items on the menu. The GF mark is menu-level guidance, not a dedicated coeliac kitchen — follow the restaurant's advice and check suitability with staff on the day. The menu also notes items may contain traces of nuts.
Worth asking?
Which dishes marked GF on today's menu are suitable if I need strict coeliac precautions? How are gluten-free orders kept separate from wheat-based breads and shared prep?
What this means for coeliacs
Official menus identify many GF dishes and direct guests with allergies to speak to staff, but dedicated preparation and cross-contact controls are not documented.
