Absolutely amazing gluten-free ramen. If you are celiac, I highly recommend this place! My friend and I got the same dish, mine was gluten free. The staff was also wonderful.
Service was amazing. Food was mediocre; brisket was good but lacked flavour; ribs were tough and dry; mac and cheese was spicy, but needed someone else; chicken was good and it was gluten free.
Great communication and super adaptable to changes in quantity, and menu for a work event! The food was well received (walima feast), and catered to meat eaters as well as those with dietary restrictions or vegan/gluten-free!
Only thing is the delivery person forgot to leave a crate, but we found a workaround!
Unforgettable Dining Experience at Zarak – A Must-Visit!
I had the pleasure of dining at Zarak for the first time in July with a group of five people, each of us with different dietary restrictions – gluten-free, dairy-free, coconut-free, and vegetarian. While I initially felt overwhelmed by the menu, our server, Sanmeet, turned what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and enjoyable experience. She took the time to carefully listen to our restrictions and, in less than a minute, curated the perfect menu for us, ensuring we could enjoy our time together without worrying about what to order. Her recommendations were spot on, and the variety of cocktails was equally impressive!
From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, the entire team made us feel welcome and cared for. The level of attentiveness was beyond compare. One detail that stood out to me was how the staff intuitively timed their service – they approached us only during natural pauses in our conversations, which I deeply appreciated. At one point, I needed a napkin, and just as I was about to ask, one of the staff members approached me, and it felt like they had read my mind. It’s those small details that really made the experience special.
Now, the food was incredible, but what made the evening truly unforgettable was the exceptional level of customer service. Towards the end of the night, everyone except me ordered dessert because I couldn’t find anything on the menu that was both dairy-free and coconut-free, which I was fine with. Sanmeet noticed and immediately went above and beyond to accommodate me. Within minutes, she brought out a delicious pistachio gelato, which had no gluten, coconut, or dairy – and it was on the house! That thoughtful gesture spoke volumes about her dedication to making sure everyone had a wonderful time.
What’s even more impressive is that when my partner and I returned to Zarak a month and a half later for drinks and dinner, Sanmeet remembered us. The genuine smile on her face when I greeted her by name made it clear that this restaurant isn’t just about serving great food – it’s about creating lasting relationships with their guests.
Sanmeet’s warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care for her guests left an incredible impression on me, and I’ve been raving about Zarak to everyone I know. If you ever visit, I highly recommend asking for her – she truly made our dining experience unforgettable. I look forward to returning again and again!
From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the staff’s kindness. Their matcha is unbelievably smooth, and the pastries are just right not overly sweet but still satisfying. The fact they accommodate gluten-free and dairy-free diets is a huge bonus. It’s a bit small inside, but I’ve always managed to find a seat when I come.
They make a Gluten Free crust and it is near impossible to tell apart from real pizza crust! Also, the happy hour offers are awesome!
This is my new favorite neighborhood pizza place now!
I added olives, and I'd do it again! Delicious.
Overall, we had a lovely experience at Burdock and Co! I received a gift card here and was eager to try out this Michelin star spot. We had the citrus moon menu, which highlighted local citrus from salt spring island. Every dish was very thoughtful and meticulous in design and presentation. I appreciated that the tasting menu is very veggie forward, local, and seasonal. Few Michelin star restaurants are as accommodating as Burdock and Co. The menu was already naturally mostly gluten free and they helped modify a dish for me to avoid raw food because I am pregnant. Highlights of this menu for us were the potato dish, scallop confit, and the dessert. I highly recommend the arctic sourdough and profiterole add- on- two of my favorite bites. Service was kind, warm, and accommodating. It is a hefty price, but a very special experience.
I went to high tea and got the dairy-free, gluten-free items; it was phenomenal! Everything was made fresh, and there was so much attention to detail that made the most wonderful high tea experience
Fantastic place for an authentic Rajasthani experience. Vegan & glutenfree thali was scrumptious. Perfectly spiced chai served in a kulhad. Hearty servings of a variety of foods. Friendly service with all the information you need. Worth the drive to Vancouver
Wow! I brought my 13 yr old out to breakfast, and found this cute little coffee, café, bistro? Kranky's has a little of everything, and it is mostly made there, fresh! The owner and waitstaff were super friendly, kind(helped us find a tasty choice for me(I have Celiac), and had a joyful small-talk conversation with our daughter about her choices on a future pet :)
Thank you, Cat, Hope? and ummm, dagnabit! The owner!! I know, I know her name, it is just out of my reach right now.
Such a cute study area. Never too loud, great food and drinks (including gluten free items!). The only downside is it can be hard to find a table during peak hours, but that’s to be expected. Love it here!
I’ve only ordered on Uber eats 1000000/10 every time. Everything is so delicious, flavourful made with love. I’m a celiac it’s very rare I get many options when ordering food. So many tasty gluten free delicious food options here. Everything I’ve tried on the menu so far has been the best tasting food ever. I’ll always order here & one day when I am not working from home I’d love to eat here in person.
Very cute cafe! Yummy coffee and they have Gluten free & Dairy free treats which is so hard to find in a cafe. Usually it’s one or the other. Staff was super nice! :) Thank you for your lovely service.
Great healthy and delicious food. Staff are friendly and helpful. Some gluten free options, try the chicken bowl - Would recommend!
Removed a star as there's no option to pay for extra/double protein even though I'm sure many people would appreciate it.
Hands down, best pizza in Vancouver. We've tried every type and even the gluten free and vegan cheese pizzas are delicious. As close as authentic as you can get in Vancouver. Well worth it every time!!
Fresh & delicious sushi that melts in your mouth! Very tiny restaurant that fits maybe 20-25 guests but it’s cozy and feels like you’re eating in the chefs home. The service was kind and very efficient. I have celiac disease and they had gluten free soy sauce which is always a relief. However, there weren’t many gluten free options on the menu as they told me their sushi rice, ginger, wasabi and mayonnaise all contained gluten which was something I had never heard before and greatly diminished my options. Nevertheless, they were able to make a few rolls with regular rice and use separate cutting boards and kitchen supplies to make my sushi which was really appreciated! Would highly recommend this cute sushi spot!!
WOW! These gourmet pizzas are so loaded! Layered deep with delicious toppings. 5 stars!
Our gluten free pizza was an absolute delight. Superb GF choices and so tasty! Excellent customer service, too! Will definitely be ordering again. Best pizza delivery in Vancouver!
Friendly staff, huge dog friendly patio, lots of food options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free which is great! They even have a menu just for dogs! Prices are great even outside of happy hour!
A vegan MacDonalds, and if you can manage Seitin (gluten based base based on a process invented by the Chinese a long time ago) then u should definitely try this place, the cheese burgers taste like mac's, the price is comparable to Macky d's too, and the chocolate milkshake (soy and oat based) is off the charts. Big Up.
Went in for happy hour and to watch the game. Paid $20 to bring my own zero wine which was discounted from an alcoholic corking fee. My only complaint is I wish they had zero % wine on the menu and not just zero near beers as I am sober and celiac. Hopefully one day! Staff was nice, moved us to a better seat to see the screen when we asked. Atmosphere was great and chatted with our neighbouring table. Would return if they brought zero wine in :)
Celiac friendly
