Absolutely Fabulous! I order all my gluten free bread and treats from Off-the-Gluten Path on a monthly basis, and the service is beyond brilliant. I feel like I know all the customer service staff by first name already. Furthermore, I have never tasted such outstanding gluten-free bread and tasty treats, and believe me I have been around the block. Their pita bread is exactly like the gluten-based ones. I cannot recommend Off-the-Gluten Path highly enough for great service and high quality products.

The food is some of the best I have ever had. we shared 2 lots of tacos & each had the brisket that melted in your mouth. I truly haven't had food quite like it before. The price is extremely valuable for the quality & location. The staff were exceptional, very kind & very knowledgeable. My friend is gluten-free and had plenty of great options available.

We were 4 diners. My daughter has Celiac disease so we specifically went to Maria’s because they advertised gluten free food. The food was amazingly good! But the manager was rude and abrasive, very dismissive when we asked for assurance that the food was prepared separately. When we got our starters, her gluten free starter was placed next to pita bread that was NOT gluten free, thus contaminating her food. When we pointed this out to the manager, he simply shrugged and left. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And also apologetic about another table that was very loud, causing us to not stay for dessert because the noise level was simply too high! The only down side about the food was the baklava fingers we ordered as take away. They were vile! Tasted only of cinnamon. I’m Greek so I know how they should taste. Very disappointing dessert, don’t order that!
