Quick answer

Twenty restaurants in Dubai maintain dedicated gluten-free kitchens or strict cross-contamination protocols. These venues train staff on celiac-safe procedures, use separate fryers and prep areas, and list certified gluten-free items on menus. Prices range from AED 65 for mains at casual spots to AED 180 at fine-dining venues. Most accept reservations via the restaurant’s own website or Talabat, Zomato, and Careem NOW. Always confirm current certification with the Dubai Municipality food safety team before visiting.
