Gluten-Free Indian Food in Copenhagen — Dining at Zahida
If you follow a gluten-free diet, finding a restaurant that genuinely accommodates you — rather than just tolerating the request — can be a challenge. At Zahida, we work with guests' dietary requirements whenever possible, and several of our dishes are naturally suited to gluten-free diners.
Here's what to know before you book.
Does Zahida Cater for Gluten-Free Guests?
Yes. We accommodate dietary preferences including gluten-free at Zahida. Indian and Pakistani cuisine is well-suited to this — many dishes are naturally built around rice, lentils, vegetables and spiced sauces rather than wheat-based ingredients.
That said, our kitchen does use some gluten-containing ingredients (such as naan and certain marinades), so cross-contamination cannot be fully guaranteed. If you have a serious allergy or coeliac disease, we strongly recommend contacting us directly before your visit so we can advise on the safest choices for you.
Which Dishes Are Naturally Gluten-Free at Zahida?
Several items on our menu are naturally free from gluten or can be adapted:
- Masala Striploin with fries - Steak and chips but the Zahida way
- Jeera & Haldi Rice — basmati rice with cumin and turmeric, naturally gluten-free
- Grilled Kerala Prawn — tiger prawns with coconut sauce
- Grilled King Mushrooms — with coconut sauce
- Murgh Makhani — our signature butter chicken
- Masala Celeriac Steak — with vierge sauce
- Sabzi Tarkari — cauliflower, okra and aubergine masala
- Mango Kulfi — condensed milk, mango and pistachio dessert
Please always confirm with our team when you arrive, as recipes and ingredients can change seasonally.
What to Avoid If You're Gluten-Free
Dishes that contain gluten include our naan breads (Garlic & Ginger Naan and plain Naan), but most of our menu (90%) is gluten free or can be made gluten free.
How to Let Us Know About Dietary Requirements
The easiest way is to add a note when you make your reservation, or to email us at info@zahida.dk ahead of your visit. Our team will make sure you have a great evening without the guesswork.
