4.5* - This was the first time I’ve had authentic (to what I think) Venezuelan cuisine, and it didn’t disappoint!
We ordered the yucca fries, Pabellon Criolo, 2 arepas, and the soup of a day. Obviously, way too much food for 2.
I thought the yucca fries & the creamy cilantro avocado salsa/sauce was delicious. The pabellon criolo, which is the Venezuelan National Dish, was delicious. Stewed pork, rice, beans, and 3 slices of plantains. Very, very, very good!!!
The two arepas we ordered were very delicious as well. They put a lot of filling in them, so they’re a whole meal in one. Arepas are also gluten free.
Soup was alright. Not the star.
Order the Venezuelan National dish, one arepa, and maybe an appetizer… you’ll be stuffed with great food.
Store has gluten free bread and wrap options for those with a gluten intolerance or celiac disease. I ordered a grilled chicken chopped, with everything on it. Juice bar inside store.
This place is a fave — it’s cute, walkable to the park, and has such a varied menu. Also, it carries such delicious gluten-free treats! I try to get a lamington slice whenever I pass by. The bev menu is extensive and the coffee is great. Honorable mention to the lavender latte, it’s def worth a try! ☕️
We decided to try this recently, after passing it on a daily basis. After trying several places in Astoria, this place has the best burger I’ve tried by far. Cooked to perfection, and I am especially happy they offer gluten free options for those with celiac. The sauces we got with the fries were something else. No doubt, we’ll be back soon.
I have Celiac. They were so kind and accommodating. They cleaned the blender with soap and water and they checked the ingredients in the smoothie I wanted. I felt comfortable and safe ordering here. Plus it’s delicious!
I went looking for gluten free products they had a few choices but they ended up being too hard to eat
And the service left me feeling like I wasn't welcome yet they had no legal reason to ask me to leave so I got my order I wouldn't go back
I ordered a gluten free waffle and believe their batter was off, the waffle was sour with a kinda vinegar taste. Friends tried it too and agreed something was off. I mentioned to the waitress who offered to change it which I refused as I wasn't interested to get anymore food there. I let her go with the rest of it and still got fully charged for that item. I wouldn't have wrote a review if I wasn't now feeling sick with heartburns. Never again there.
We were in the area for a business project and took a chance on this spot for an early dinner. Around 430 so wasn't crowded. Our waiter Miguel was attentive and made sure all of our additional needs were met. Many of us had nutritional/dietary restrictions and the menu was flexible. There were also gluten free options. A really cute place, great food and experience. I would definitely go back when in the area.
We found this nice place by chance, we were staying in a nearby hotel.
We were intrigued by the all-wood interiors, it seemed like a welcoming environment and so it was.
The food was excellent and the gluten-free sandwich was also excellent, served with particular attention.
Accurate and attentive service.
Excellent experience, I recommend it... I hope to be able to return.
My first impression about this restaurant is that it is very large and they have a very nice decoration. From the moment we arrived the attention was good and fast.
I suggest that if you want to go with a large group of people it is better to make a reservation because although the restaurant is large, many people will come to eat.
It's my turn to have the brunch menu. If you are celiac, the truth is that it is not a very extensive menu. But I suggest the eggs with cheese and homemade potatoes, they are very good. The salads we ordered were accompanied with meat and chicken as an extra.
The food has good flavor and good size. The prices are not excessive and the size of the dishes is worth it. I hope to return to this restaurant to try the lunch menu, which they start serving I think at 4-5 in the afternoon.
I give the food 4 stars because it would be perfect to have more gluten free options.
Contacted the Queens Room for a party of 15 the day before a memorial at St. Michael's and the owner, Antonia hooked us up. The service was on point and the food was delicious. She suggested pre-ordering appetizers for our guests which came out promptly after our drink orders were in. Antonia made herself available via email and phone just in case we had a change in plans which was comforting on a day that was difficult. We had a vegan, vegetarian and a gluten free guest and there were filling options for all of them. I highly recommend The Queens Room for the service and food. This will be my family go to from now on.
NYC Bagels always had gluten free bagels but they've recently changed the recipe and the new gluten free version is a DRAMATIC improvement. The gf bagels are now larger and overall have a much better texture. They have a nice chewy inside that tastes good even without toasting them. Thanks for the new and improved gf product, NYC Bagel!
Great brunch. Gluten free pancakes were sold out so I had the lemon ricotta waffle...absolutely delicious! Great bloody Mary. Excellent fries. Friendly staff. Place was packed.
We really enjoyed our dinner here. Crazy to see this restaurant with so few guests on a spring Saturday night! Cool vibe, music was not loud as others claimed, food was yummy. Buffalo cauliflower was crispy and tender, not spicy, though so should be served with some Buffalo hot sauce. The shrimp was really good and my kids loved it too. Lasagne was wonderful and so rich! Kids said the chicken and waffles was really yummy. Served with 4 big pieces of seitan, but they wanted even more.
One suggestion is to incorporate the vegan salmon in some of the gluten free dishes. I would have loved to try it in place of the zucchini with the lemon sauce or on the gf sandwich in place is the tofu. Or just served with Alfredo sauce with veggies since I don't think they have gf pasta. But the salmon is gf. However, there was no dish where I could try it, so that would definitely get me excited to come back. I'd love it with some gf hollandaise sauce and like kale or spinach on the side.
Lovely coffee shop and market. The gluten free olive oil cake is delicious. They offer several milk alternatives. I tasted macadamia nut milk for the first time and loved it.
They also offer gf vegan cookies. I thought they might be dry due to no butter or sugar, but they were tasty. Personnel is friendly and fast.
