If you follow a gluten-free diet, it can be difficult to find meals that are in line with your dietary restrictions. Conveniently, a Thai-style diet is naturally almost completely without gluten, so when you head to Maui’s Thai Chef Restaurant, ordering delicious food and sticking to your diet will be easy.

Founded in 1985 and located in the Old Lahaina Shopping Center, the popular restaurant has earned a reputation for having the best Thai food in town. Below, these experts discuss three tasty Thai dishes that are perfect for a gluten-free diet.

3 Delicious Examples of Gluten-Free Thai Dishes

1. Thai Fried Rice

If you follow a gluten-free diet, the most important items to avoid at a Thai restaurant are wheat and egg noodles. Luckily, most food is centered around rice instead of wheat, so you should have many options to choose from. Some tasty gluten-free examples that can be found at your favorite Thai restaurant include house-fried rice, pineapple-fried rice, and fried rice with veggies.

2. Thai Curries

Many popular Asian dishes contain soy and oyster sauces, which often have gluten. While you can find gluten-free versions of these sauces for cooking at home, the easiest solution is to avoid them altogether when ordering at restaurants. Curry is a great option since it contains neither of these. It also comes in many delicious varieties, including Thai red and green curry and curry peanut pangang.

3. Thai Veggie Spring Rolls

Thai food is perfect for those with a restricted diet because it naturally substitutes many gluten-free ingredients into popular dishes. For example, Chinese spring rolls are typically wrapped in wheat flour paper, so they’re usually not an option for gluten-free eaters. Thai veggie spring rolls, on the other hand, are usually made with rice paper, so they are safe to order.
