Great birthday lunch. Friendly welcome, clean and tidy, lovely decor and atmosphere. Excellent food, excellent gluten free menu. Food came with a flag on it to ensure I got the right meal.

Zan Fish Spondon is a top quality chip shop! The staff are super friendly, the food is amazing and the fact that they offer gluten free is brilliant! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Aidan Reyes

Came to derby to visit parents, my dad has dementia. Both parents are gluten free. It was quiet as a Friday midday. The waitress Sinitta immediately remembered my parents from being there only once before and they remembered her as said how nice she was last time. She welcomed us, sat and chatted and basically made us feel welcome. The fact she remembered my parents (in their 70’s) was so amazing! They made sure and double checked for gluten allergies which they both had and food was lovely! I don’t live in derby but I know they will be back again because they felt so looked after!

Great food with good vegetarian and gluten free range. Had excellent customer service from Corey our waiter. Really nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

Carole

Excellent gluten free food available, great choice. I had pork belly with roast vegetables and it was superb. Creme Brulee with raspberry sorbet (home made) was heaven too. Virtually everything is gluten free so coeliacs can relax and enjoy their dining experience. Highly recommended (I say that reluctantly as I'd like to keep it secret 😊 it's that good).

Tabitha Morgan-Earp

Really great cafe for gluten free options. I’m not 100% sure where the name came from as there really wasn’t many books? But overall the atmosphere was quirky and cosy. I ordered the bhaji sandwich on the online ordering option. There was no option to make it gluten free apart from the notes section but the waitress was happy to swap it and it came out with a GF bun, the food itself was really tasty

Rachel H

Really enjoyed the attentive service, atmosphere and my gluten free, vegetarian meal plus drinks! Thank you Beth and everyone else for a lovely night after a long day at work

Lizanne Dilley

Altho they only tend to do one gluten free option it's always fresh and tasty. The staff are lovely and so is the coffee

Becky

I have Coeliac Disease (gluten free) and it can still be a struggle to find reliable, trustworthy restaurants who cater correctly. I had the double stack burger with a gluten free bun - my mind was blown. Alongside this the fries were crispy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. The food was delicious (melted in the mouth!) and the portion size was perfect!

Tonia Hill

Had the set Christmas menu for eight of us, absolutely yum! Two of us were coeliac and that was no problem at all, you can feel like you are a nuisance! Thank you to all so much, deeelicious, it was all absolutely lovely 😍 xx

Petra Bharwani

Brilliant food, gluten free options available, service was excellent. Go and see for yourself you won't be disappointed

Steven Halford

Usually I would comment on just the food, but on this visit I would like to give massive praise to Eden who was waiting for the 1st time and totally smashed it there's nothing more he could of done for us he went over and over and above with a fun and friendly attitude. Even stayed after his shift had finished to complete our journey. Also dealt well with order of gluten free and vegetarian. A great 40th birthday meal. I hope to be served again soon by this lovely young man

Natalie Ordish

Fantastic place! Dog friendly and lots of vegan and gluten free options! I don't personally drink coffee but my boyfriend said it was really nice. The nicest hashbrowns I have ever eaten!

Laura Olivier

First time at this brilliant restaurant! I am one of those people who don't realise venture out and try new foods, but my goodness, I was so pleased I tried Zorba. Such beautiful food and wonderful service. Everyone was so friendly and so accommodating. We had one in our party who was gluten free, and she was looked after so well and had plenty of choice! Would definitely recommend!

Cloe Bowers

Our server Shannon was lovely, we informed her that our two year old daughter had a gluten allergy and she was very accommodating towards that and provided amazing service throughout. We ordered some chicken but as informed by Shannon it was a bad batch so she didn’t want us eating something that she wouldn’t so recommended we ordered something different. This was amazing customer service and made our whole experience better.

Had been for dinner with family with one of us being gluten free, the food was bit of a hit and miss. The gluten free main course was a pasta dish chosen from the set menu , the pasta was a bit undercooked and didn't really gel with the sauce in which it was cooked. I had the chicken milanese which was essentially a breaded slice of chicken with tomatoes on the side and bowl of salad with cheese , the chicken was too crispy and dry, didn't really enjoy it and wouldn't recommend . The dishes which I liked were the mushroom soup which was really good and the tiramisu dessert. We went on a Tuesday so essentially the restaurant was deserted being mid week , probably would have had a better vibe on the weekend.

Matt

Excellent food and service, Merrick and Jonathan were amazing, advising us on gluten free options and provided a friendly welcome service! The pies are awesome!

Gaynor Bates

We were a party of 40 guests with a range of dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free. There was a large range of choices for all of us, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional.

Clive McIntyre

Excellent food for all as the vegetarian offerings are super whether you are vegetarian or not. Lovely gluten free options and cakes. Highly recommended

Sharon Massey

Had a really lovely meal with a party of 10 food was delicious. Amelia our waitress was amazing and went above and beyond. They were great with gluten free. We would definitely return. Thank you Amelia

Debra Styring

Gluten free batter needs to be a bit lighter.

Oonagh Neill

The food and service were amazing. Brilliant for gluten-free options, too!

Michelle Mason

My fave place forever. Gluten Free safe too

Our Worldschooling Family

The best restaurant in derby. So great to have a restaurant with a wide variety of healthy delicious meals. There are so many vegan and gluten-free options. We love being able to choose the size of our bowl (which means the kids can have the right size for them) and then choose from proteins, hot options, sides and the massive salad bar. We highly recommend their falafel, potato wedges and coleslaw. We will be going many more times! Service is quick and everyone’s really friendly.

I'm celiac, they always take it very seriously and you can see the staff changing gloves before handling my food. Bit expensive but worth it for the peace of mind

LorraineHook1956

Food is great, very friendly ,very clean , and they do gluten free, dairy free etc, just ask very helpful . They also do take-away

Ayy0

Really enjoyed my time there, i always do! The food was great, we got a big sharing platter which had a great selection. Some improvements could be to provide a gluten free alternative to the bread at the start of the meal, and the pina colada drink i had was very watered down, needs improving! Will definitely come again, the man who runs the desk was very kind!

Lauren Garner

Really friendly and welcoming staff. Made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Food was excellent - really tasty and decent portion sizes. I am coeliac and the menu was clearly marked with what was Gluten Free and the staff even made sure i was aware what dishes others in my group were GF or not. Would happily go again!

Amiee Edwards

Since finding out I have a few food intolerances I haven’t been able to eat a curry without fear of the aftermath. The gentleman on the phone was fantastic in advising me of what I could have and even spoke to the chef to make sure it was possible! Food arrived promptly and was delicious! Will definitely be my go to now! The only Indian in Derby that does gluten free bread too! Thank you so much!

Clive Jones

highly recommended, attentive friendly and helpful service. Food great and they even do gluten free naan bread .

We were a walk in group. The pub was full but Shane made an extra effort to accommodate our group and was very attentive with his service which included a gluten free member which was greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Had an 80th birthday party at Italian Cucina in July 2023, the restaurant was beautifully decorated and the food was perfect. The food was so amazing that we decided to use them for a home catering family event which was very short notice, Manju and the team were incredibly accommodating to dietary requirements including gluten intolerances. The food arrived hot, on time and was a mix of mixed grill, Indian curries and pizza. All of the guests commented on how amazing the food was. We would definitely order from Italian Cucina again and recommend them for anyone to use in the future. Thank you to the whole team. Jay

I believe they have closed there restaurant and moving onto a smaller restaurant as we were told the last time we went in. I will miss the service and food. The service was amazing I have never been in an restaurant where they had top notch service always 100% never failed on the service and the food was great, my husband eats gluten free and they always reassured it'll be cooked on a different wok or pan and never cooked with the same oil with gluten etc always catered for the needs. I will wait for them to reopen somewhere and start ordering there again. It's hard to find somewhere that does actually have Gluten free food that promises you it's Gluten free. This Chinese restaurant is the best. We dined in and takeaway, the food was always made fresh.

Izzi Byrd

Food was lovely, they offer gluten free. Was served by Alex who’s a lovely bubbly character who made sure all our needs and asked were met. Lovely thank you

My new favourite Japanese restaurant. Don't let the simple exterior fool you, this place is a gem. The food was delicious and the rice to salmon proportions of the nigiri were perfect. I can't wait to go here again. They were accommodating with gluten free soya source and menu options as well.

Jeanette Hyde

We had a gorgeous meal last night. Great menu choice. Lovely fresh tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere. Very reasonably priced and lovely friendly staff. Also plenty of choice for our friend who has to eat gluten free food. Thank you! We loved it. Excellent. Would highly recommend.

First visit here and definitely won't be our last! Lovely, quiet, relaxing vibe with gentle piano music playing in the background. Gorgeous food, takes a while to arrive but that's because everything is freshly cooked to order. Oodles of choice on the menu, really didn't know what to have so will have to go back to try other options! Lots of veggie and vegan options and several meals are gluten free. Try the Thai pancakes for dessert, just completely delicious.
