Gluten-Free Indian Food in Amsterdam: What to Order at Miri Mary

Published: August 11, 2026  |  Estimated reading time: 5 minutes  |  Written by the Miri Mary team

Looking for gluten-free Indian food in Amsterdam does not have to mean settling for one simple dish. Rice, lentils, vegetables, grilled meats, seafood and fermented rice-based dishes all play an important role in Indian cooking, making it possible to build a varied meal without relying on bread.

At Miri Mary in De Pijp, several dishes on the current dinner menu are marked GF. The most reliable approach is simple: review the allergen labels, tell the team what you need and choose a balanced selection of sharing plates.

Start with the Allergen Labels

Miri Mary uses abbreviations beside individual dishes to identify common allergens and dietary information. If you are avoiding gluten, begin with dishes marked GF instead of judging a dish only by its name or main ingredients.

Sauces, garnishes and accompaniments can affect whether a dish is suitable. Check the current Miri Mary menu and allergen labels before visiting, then confirm your requirements with the team when ordering.

Gluten-Free Marked Dishes on the Current Dinner Menu

The dinner menu currently includes several GF-marked dishes with different flavours and textures. Examples include:

• Prawn Canapés — Kerala-style prawns with curry leaves and chilli, served on cassava chips
• Farm to Fire — spiced garden vegetables charred on skewers and served with slaw and mint chutney
• Gunpowder Okra Fries — crispy spiced okra with tempered yoghurt
• Miri’s Spiced Chicken — tandoor-grilled chicken in a black pepper and tomato sauce inspired by Andhra cuisine
• Mary’s Crêpe — Chennai-style dosai made from fermented rice and lentil batter, served with sambar and coconut chutney

These dishes are examples from the menu checked on August 11, 2026. Recipes, accompaniments and availability can change, so treat the live menu and the restaurant team as the final source.

Build the Meal with Rice, Lentils and Curry

A satisfying gluten-conscious meal does not need to revolve only around grilled dishes. The current menu also marks Heavenly Black Lentils, Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken and Steamed Basmati Rice as GF.

This makes it easy to combine one lighter sharing plate with a curry or lentil dish and rice. For example, a table might pair Prawn Canapés or Farm to Fire with Saag Paneer, Heavenly Black Lentils and basmati rice.

Butter Chicken is currently marked GF, but it also carries dairy and nut allergen labels. If you have more than one dietary requirement, check every relevant label rather than focusing on gluten alone.

Do Not Assume Indian Bread Is Gluten-Free

Indian cuisine can offer many gluten-free choices, but breads need particular attention. The naan and whole-wheat tandoori roti on Miri Mary’s current menu contain gluten.

Steamed basmati rice is marked GF and is the simplest alternative alongside curries, lentils and grilled dishes. Mary’s Crêpe is another option worth asking about when you want something different from rice: its fermented rice-and-lentil base is currently marked GF.

Dining with Friends Who Eat Differently

Sharing plates can work well for a table with different preferences. One group may include guests who are gluten-conscious, vegetarian, vegan or eating without restrictions. The team can help identify which dishes suit each guest and how best to organise the order.

Gluten-Free Group Dining at Miri Mary

Dinner groups of six or more are served the Chef’s Heritage Menu family-style. Gluten-free and allergy adaptations are available, but dietary requirements should be shared when booking so the team can plan the menu properly.

For a larger celebration, company dinner or a group with several dietary needs, visit the Miri Mary group dining and events page before making your reservation.

Coeliac Disease or a Severe Allergy?

A GF label helps when browsing, but it cannot replace a direct conversation when strict avoidance of gluten or cross-contact is medically necessary. Miri Mary serves dishes containing gluten and does not claim to operate a completely gluten-free kitchen.

Tell the restaurant when booking and remind the team when you arrive. They can explain the current preparation and advise which dishes or adaptations may be appropriate. The Miri Mary dietary requirements FAQ also provides current restaurant guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which dishes can I combine for a balanced GF-marked dinner at Miri Mary?

These dishes are currently marked GF, but the menu and preparation can change, so confirm your choices with the team.

What can I order instead of naan with a gluten-free-marked curry?

How should a group of six or more request gluten-free adaptations?
