Café Rumi
Gluten-free options

This spot offers a chill vibe with outdoor seating for both sun and shade lovers, plus tasty options for various diets.
I learned about this cafe a few years ago and it has taken me this long to finally make it there. The gluten free chicken wrap was delicious. The chicken was well seasoned and the sauce set it off. I will be back.
Denica's Real Food Kitchen

2723 Castro Valley Blvd #5411, Castro Valley, CA 94546, USA
I don’t usually comment but this place is EXPENSIVE, nothing special , nothing fancy , parking sucks.. they are more expensive than Hyatt sac restaurant that have amazing pancakes and gluten free choices . U will never make me comeback to this place.
Phulkari Indian Cuisine
Gluten-free options
3418 Village Dr, Castro Valley, CA 94546, USA
A fresh spot with top-shelf offerings, known for its delightful tandoori chicken and unique Indian mixed pickle".
Previous owners (Aroma?) had more variety for the buffet; however, this was very good. Maybe needs a salad and more vegetables in buffet. The noodle rice desert was too liquidy and not at all flavorful and not like a rice desert we're used to. Naan was good, but doesn't offer gluten free.
Pad Thai Cuisine
Gluten-free options
3774 Castro Valley Blvd, Castro Valley, CA 94546, USA
Veggie options shine here with fresh flavors and a standout basil stir fry, though street parking might be your best bet.
Tried out their veggies options, and was delish. I liked that they can make their entrees gluten-free. Ordered the Cashew nuts and the Basil stir fry. Both were similar with the exception of the basil flavored in the later one. Not sure if they have a parking lot though. I found parking on the street.
