Rice is one gluten-free dish.
Gluten is a component of food with carbohydrates that can be difficult to digest. People with Celiac's disease (an autoimune disease of the small intestine that reacts to gluten) cannot eat gluten at all. Luckily, many restaurants have become clear of this problem and offer gluten-free dishes or full gluten-free menus. Sacramento, California's capital, boasts several such places. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Sugar Plum Vegan Cafe
This restaurant has an entirely vegan menu, meaning no animal products at all. They have an extensive gluten-free menu, too, and all of their sandwiches can be made gluten free by substituting millet bread. For example you might try the "Midtown Club," with homemade Gluten Free Tempeh Bacon, Romaine, Tomato, Avocado, Clover Sprouts and Vegennaise on Millet Bread. Or the Vietnamese Banh Mi with Mushrooms marinated in Lemongrass, Galangal, Tamarind and Kafir Lime Leaf, Pickled Daikon, Shredded Carrots, Sriracha and Fresh Cilantro.

Mati's Indian Express
This casual Indian food spot has a number of dishes on their gluten-free menu. According to their website, they ensure safety by keeping separate their gluten items (like samosas) and their nongluten items (like paneer cheese): They always fry these in different pans. The gluten-free menu includes items like chicken tikka masala and rice and vegetables or lamb biryani with rice.
