Many of Bawarchi's rice-based dishes (biryanis), lentil dishes, and curries are naturally gluten-free, but the restaurant is not certified gluten-free and fried items and breads contain wheat. Guests with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity should ask staff about cross-contamination risks before ordering.

Gongura is a sour leafy vegetable (sorrel, also called red sorrel or Hibiscus sabdariffa) that is a defining ingredient in Andhra cuisine.
