I am coeliac and I was appreciative of the staff knowledge of my concerns. Seperate pizza oven and staff awareness = a beautiful evening with no side effects. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. My husband and I shared a pizza with some sides- salad and potatoesGreat combination, with attentive and friendly service. Thank you.
I had a Poke Bowl at the Yours and Owls festival it was really good and me being celiac (gluten free) is was really comforting that he was aware of cross contamination and re made my order. I’ll be going again today.
Great night out with friends! The service was amazing, Emily was so great with my food intolerances. It was so great to know a restaurant goes out of their way to make sure our food didn't have dairy or gluten in it. Thank you! 😊
This would have to be the best pizza ever! The gluten free and dairy free options were delicious. Everything was fresh and and tasty. We had a group of 10 and everyone enjoyed the meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this gem.

We had the tipsy tapas as we were celebrating some birthdays and having a (rare) Mum's night out. The food was SO delicious (even with one gluten free diner), the drinks were definitely bottomless and we had a wonderful time. Thanks so much :)
Asked if any of their burgers were dairy free. Was told they were probably not. Vegan burgers used to be legendary but now they have changed and use milk buns with gluten free buns as the alternative. Was told the chicken was dairy free. It was definitely not....
Absolutely amazing staff, Decor and cleanliness was A+, the menu was absolutely Devine and absolutely accommodating to all including those with gluten or vegan requirements, food came out quickly with amazing staff and attitude everyone was smiling and happy it gave off a great atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone to have a family or romantic dinner here.
Such an incredible dinner with very helpful staff assisting with gluten free options. Would definitely recommend visiting and will be going back for sure!

Best Thai food I have had in a long time!! So much flavour! We had the peanut chicken and panang curry, both amazing. Im gluten free and called to check the dishes I ordered were GF. My partner didn’t get GF, and they wrote which stuff wasn’t GF so I didn’t accidentally eat it! This will be our new regular Thai place !
I went there for a New Year’s Eve lunch with my family and was greeted with great service from the staff. The selection of food that they had was good, with some tasty options to choose from.
I myself had the braised beef rib which was delicious and was a soft as butter. Everyone else either had the tenderloin or the tempura fish and chips, which they all loved.
In terms of the venue, it felt very modern, and had a lovely atmospheric view of South Beach.
The menu itself clearly shows which items have dairy gluten and chilli. They also had a children’s menu, which is separate from the main menu. However the individual meals were a little confusing to follow as I thought they were multiple options to choose
In addition, the pricing of the food is a little on the expensive side, but given where the restaurant is located, it is mostly worth the price. However I would recommend some cheaper options.
Otherwise I would recommend this place to locals wanting a great experience.
Great service, amazing food and options, lots of Celiac options which tasted delicious!, nice place to go for all ages and I highly recommend it! Highly recommend the nachos with brisket 🤩🤩

I’ve visited Babyface a few times and have always been impressed. The food is brilliant and the service is seamless. The way they cater for gluten intolerance made me feel like I was getting more rather than less, which is rare. Definitely worth a visit.
Great dosa GF (coeliac) friendly. Lovely staff, fast service at Friday lunch. Highly recommend. Just watch out you have the right location - it seems to be wrong in Apple Maps.
Had dinner here at sunset. My gluten free grilled chicken burger (the one with pineapple bacon and cheese on) was delicious. Hot chips were great and the fish batter (not gf) was also not greasy or heavy. Hake was delicious too!
Absolutely shocked with my experience at Samaras. I have eaten there a few times before and know that the garlic sauce has cashews (I am allergic to nuts). So after we got seated I asked for my meal to have hummus instead of garlic sauce and was flat out told that they would not serve me and had to leave the restaurant. This was the most awkward and embarrassing experience I have dealt with inside a hospitality establishment. I felt ostracised over an allergy that I cant help but live with. Why reject customers with a nut allergy when you can instead practice safe and clean kitchen procedures? I have worked in many restaurants that have products containing nuts but there are simple ways (like being clean) to avoid cross contamination with nuts. Another Mediterranean restaurant I go to understands my allergy and caters accordingly. I am very disgusted in my treatment at this place. Would give zero stars if I could as I didn’t even eat anything. Saw someone post that they were great with gluten intolerance, at least that’s something! Can’t say I’ll be coming here again because I’m clearly not welcomed Hahahahahaha
Had takeaway from JJs while on a work trip. The food was outstanding. There are lots of gluten free and veg options too. Will definitely go again when back in Wollongong. Left overs for lunch was a bonus
Fantastic food! We ordered Catering for small groups, meatballs, chicken and pork and a range of salads, all tasted amazing, generous portions, very well priced. They also catered for multiple dietary requirements (pregnancy, gluten, dairy, vego) all very friendly staff and super easy to deal with. The range of options was wonderful too and every dish was unique and yummy! Our guests loved it!
Beautiful seaside location, delicious food presented well and friendly, efficient service. Excellent gluten free options, and plenty to choose from. Easy to recommend and would very happily dine again.
We chose this restaurant because the menu indicated gluten free options. So many options for people with food allergies. The chicken and pineapple fried rice and the Singapore noodles were incredibly flavorful, great portion sizes and the staff was incredibly friendly. Highly recommend.
Zeus Street Greek in Wollongong is a hidden gem. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, friendly vibe that's as genuine as the food. Their lamb wraps are a revelation. The lamb is so succulent and tender, it melts in your mouth. And the flavor? Let's just say it's a flavor party in your mouth. One wrap is barely enough, trust me.
Their chips are a side dish that deserves their own spotlight. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned, they're the perfect complement to any meal. And for those with dietary restrictions, their gluten-free wraps are just as delicious as the regular ones. My wife and I were both blown away.
If you're in Wollongong and craving a casual, authentic Greek meal, Zeus Street Greek is a must-visit.
My husband and I were just walking by looking for a quick snack and found this place. We loved it. Friendly staff, the place is clean and food very tasty. The best are the gluten free options. We certainly recommend and will come back 😁
Great spot for a date night, night out with friends. Excellent food and best cocktails. Lovely service by owner and chef Lesley. Caters for coeliac sufferers as well. Give this local business a go!
Such an unassuming restaurant tucked away next to the IPAC with unbeatable Vietnamese food and very large portions. Worth every cent, highly recommend.
Gluten Free options available too!
Excellent restaurant! Arrived late past thier closing time but as they already had a large group staying longer than expected they happily took us in for a quick order. The chef came out to help with my wife's gluten/ dairy issues... the food was excellent & the staff super lovely - 6 out of 5 stars!!
Best restaurant in Wollongong! DELICIOUS food - caters for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free…Most hospitable staff I’ve ever met! And that is why we keep coming back!!!
A great local restaurant with really friendly staff and a lot of love for its customers. The food was fantastic, and the chicken and sausage gumbo was delicious and perfect for a rainy day - really nice flavours and some amazing cornbread to go with it. They have more than a few vegan and gluten free options too, and the french toast we had was the perfect ending to the meal. If you like Southern comfort food you’ll love this place, and if you don’t then you’ll still find something you like, I promise.
Also, if you like foreign Fanta flavours like pineapple, grape, peach, etc you’ve found the right place!

There's not a more underappreciated restaurant in the Illawarra. It's absurd that surrounding restaurants will be packed to the rafters while this fantastic establishment has empty tables. Thai Gong's meals are fantastic, and the prices highly competitive. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't bring you and your friends here with a bottle of wine each and be treated to some of the best service you can experience. Plenty of Vegan and Gluten Free options, with a special menu for each. Words cannot express how much you're missing out if this isn't one of your go-to venues.
Stopped in for an unplanned lunch.
Kids have dietary needs, one with nut allergy, and another with gluten intolerance.
Staff were very helpful and receptive. And food they served was fantastic!
The coffee was well above average.
Great job to the team here. Thanks for caring and loving what you do.
We wandered the streets of Wollongong, looking for somewhere to have dinner, when we encountered an enticing fragrance wafting on the breeze, emanating from Asees. We went in and were quickly seated. The dining room was neat, roomy and pleasant. I was delighted to see that the menu waa full of gluten-free options. Our order was swiftly taken, our meal promptly served, and our waiters friendly and efficient. And the food was DELICIOUS. Oh we demolished every skerrick, and were fully satisfied. To top it all off, the prices were incredibly reasonable. Our dinner for two was less than $70, which included drinks and sides. Highly recommend.
We attended this restaurant as part of a private function last night. Staff were incredible (and hilarious). The food was delicious. I am coeliac and meals were catered to meet that need.
Looks very low key but I was very impressed with this small little restaurant. When we are in Wollongong again, we will definitely be visiting.
Celiac friendly
