Azitra
Locations:
535 Zang St. Suite C, Broomfield, CO 80021 (with one additional location in Raleigh, NC)
Azitra was recommended by a reader after a great experience finding Paleo friendly dishes available there (thanks Adam!). Azitra may be one of the most Paleo friendly Indian restaurant I have heard of (not something that is easy to find). The majority of menu items are marked as either Gluten Free, Vegan or both. In addition, they commit to cooking with a combination of coconut oil and coconut milk in many of their dishes as requested. In talking to them, they confirmed that menu items and sauces are made from scratch, cutting down on the worry of unknown commercial ingredients. They also confirmed that they do not use refined sugars in their entrees (may want to reconfirm individually about each dish with your server just to be 100% careful). Of those vegetable dishes that contain potatoes, they confirmed they are happy to make the dishes without them. So if you are looking to eat out and craving some international options, Azitra in Broomfield is definitely an option to consider.
