Amazing experience. Extremely kind staff. So welcoming, friendly and go over the top for us! Gave me free dessert and a candle for my birthday. All the food was incredible and for someone who is gluten free , it was a dream! Thank you Samba we will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone we know! And a beautifully decorated place as well.
Both my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the meatball appetizer and our pizzas. He ordered the 9-inch Detroit style gluten-free pizza, and I ordered the Meatball Ricotta Pizza. The food was fresh, delectable, and perfectly seasoned. The staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere was dark, modern, and sophisticated. We were seated right in front of the counter, which allowed us the opportunity to speak with the owner, who was absolutely delightful and gave us the history of the restaurant and himself.
Small, counter service bakery, with a few seats at the bar and a couple tables outside. Everything we got was really good. I'm not gluten free but my partner is, and we both really enjoyed what we got.
We got two bagels, one sesame with butter(her) and an everything with cream cheese(me) here in lies our only beef. My partner is also dairy free so the butter was the only option and even that was a stretch and a chance. And they were pretty light with my cream cheese, not trying to be greedy but I expect an ample schmere. So the bagels were amazing but in the future we'd get them to go.
We also bought an array of donuts and cookies to take for later and ALL of those were excellent. Not pictured are the filled donuts, and a slice of coffee cake.
Honestly the best thing in my opinion was that thumbprint cookie, kinda stole the show for me. I would go back back get 50 of those things.
It's really nice to have a bakery option be gluten free. And if you are, this place is totally up there.
9 out of 5 stars
Everything was 100% gluten free even the fries. Burger was juicy and tender and sweet potato fries were done to perfection. Thank you for a great meal!
I really appreciate them having a gluten-free menu and lots of options, not just a salad. I tried their gluten free general tsos shrimp and shaved marinated brocoli shoots as an appetizer. It was generally good but shrimp was a bit overcooked. I will come back to taste their other dishes.
Went for dinner a little early There was plenty of open tables but they filled up as the meal went on.
The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Nice decor. It did get a little loud as the tables filled up
We got the Mesob sampler, which was larger and varies. There were a large number of options to choose from from all areas of the menu.
We chose high spice options across the board and they varied in heat, but a few had some really nice fire to them.
Everything was well cooking. All of the meats were juicy and tender.
There are plenty of veg options and gluten free us availtif you call ahead.
The sampler was generously portioned and more than enough for two.
The serve was good. Attentive but not assertive. They multiple employees checked in frequently.
I am a hearty eater, but even though the dessert options sounded good, there I was too full to even consider it.
Overall, very nice. I would absolutely recommend them
Loved everything about Tacoria. The decor and wall art was beautiful. My favorite was the one toward the back made from books. Food was delicious - had their salad bowl with the vegan street corn and loved it so much I went back a second time. They have gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!
It’s ok. Very hit or miss depending on who is working that day. Had a really good crepe,and they have great options for vegan and gluten free. Perfect for middle of the day remote work because outlets are marked and it’s not full of people midday during the week.
I got takeout for the family from here tonight and it was phenomenal! We have a Celiac person and they were responsive to the need of gluten free (for the Pad Thai). Everything was piping hot when we unpacked it and sat down with it. I would definitely return for dine in and recommend to everyone!
I love everything about this place. Coffee is delicious every time. Pastries have good variety, have gluten free options, and are delicious! I understand they need to have days off so no judgement there. But Mondays and Tuesdays are my most free days and they are closed those days :(

I work in an medical office in Montclair, we wanted to order lunch from a new place. Great customer service and the food was DELICIOUS!!! Amazing taste and you can tell all fresh ingredients. They accommodate their menu to all, including gluten free! Absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to come here and experience the vibes and atmosphere. The restaurant is stunning! So happy I found this amazing gem!
We enjoy the dining experience at the Montclair House Grill. We were impressed by their friendly staff. Especially pleased to find Gluten Free items available
Lovely place with lovely food and lovely people. And they can substitute their breads with gluten free options. Had a lovely chicken sandwich. Oh and their turmeric latte is delish 💕
Super cute space, a tiny step up at the front door so I don't know how that would work for people in wheeled devices, but I was limping kinda hard when I came in and I was able to navigate it easily. Delicious food with gluten free and vegetarian options. Delicious gluten free desserts, and fantastic rotisserie chicken.
The iced vanilla decaf latte with oat milk was smooth and delightful. The impossible burger with gluten-free bread was average. Definitely needed a better plate presentation. The side salad dressing had too much vinegar.
Bright, cheery, clean restaurant with delicious, fresh, generous portioned vegan food! But the real win is the staff. Friendly, helpful, and knowledge. I'm gluten free and the server let me know that the biscuits were gluten free, even though they were not marked gluten free on the menu. Since I *never* get to have biscuits I didn't believe her and probably asked her 4 times if she was sure. She patiently answered me each time, and I finally went for a biscuit with buttah and jam. I will come back here even just for those biscuits!!!! Probably one of the most delicious GF things I have ever eaten, and even more special because I never would have ordered it without the server mentioning that it was GF. The power bowl was good too 😉. My husband had the BBQ pulled oats and said they were flavorful and filling.
Yummy small business with lots of flavor and choices! I had the bbq jackfruit sandwich which came with plantain chips and the most delicious coleslaw. I also had a vegan coconut cupcake. I am so happy with that lunch and will be back to try more. They had vegan, vegetarian gluten free and carnivore diet options.
My mom and I were looking for a quick place for lunch and happened upon Jalwa. We looked at the menu and peeked in: busy at lunch hour but an open table! VK Verma stepped out and warmly invited us in. What a great decision. I had the palak paneer lunch special and Mom had the chicken tandoori lunch special ($15 each). I also had the mango lassi--delicious and the right amount of sweetness. The portions are perfect, and all lunches come with a vegetable of the day, dal, basmati rice, roti or naan and dessert! The food was very fresh and tasty. Rasmalai for dessert on Tuesday and Kheer today. Yes, we have already been twice. I have found my favorite Indian restaurant in NJ! P.S. Very accommodating for Gluten Free Eaters. Celiacs and Gluten-Sensitive folks, rejoice! Very easy parking nearby.
Initially planned on going to Toast for brunch and the wait was too long. Walked over to Uncle Momo Bistro and was pleasantly surprised. They combined tables to seat the 4 of us and served us right away. The eggs and milk are organic. The crepes are amazing and all gluten-free! Definitely was happy that I went to Uncle Momo’s instead!
The food was so delicious! My friend and I got this platter to share with hummus, shawarma, eggplant salad, and beets salad. They provided regular pita and gluten free laffa for my friend. Really delicious and nutritious!
Zeugma is such a lovely spot with delicious and incredibly fresh food! I came here with a group of four friends for brunch on a Saturday and while the place was busy, I didn't feel that it was overly loud or overwhelming. I would definitely recommend reservations during some of the peak times but it's a relatively large restaurant so I'm sure you'd be able to eventually get seated either way.
One of my friends is a vegetarian and gluten-free and she had no issues finding a bunch of options to choose from on the menu. I love that everything is clearly labeled if it is vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free which makes life a lot easier for people with dietary restrictions.
We started out with the mezze platter to share; you can choose any 3 mezzes. We opted for the Avogannush, Antakya Hummus, and Beet Heaven. For my main course, I got the Beet Falafel Wrap which comes with some delicious thin-sliced fries. It was extremely filling but not in a bad way; you won't feel overly stuffed after eating any of this food. I could tell that even the fries were made in a high-quality oil.
If you love clean, fresh ingredients and chill, trendy vibe, Zeugma is a must-try!
Outrageous crepes, gluten- free available also. Great soups & lattes . Nice weather outdoor seating. This is a very small place so I always get take out. Nice staff !
The breakfast burrito bowl was amazing, I ate it with such glee I forgot to take a picture. The bathroom is super clean there is very limited indoor seating I'm still not ready to do that but the outdoor seating is nice It's not in the street it's actually on a little sidewalk. and while the chairs aren't super comfortable for people with sciatic issues etc they're perfectly adequate for a meal. Raymond's is a New Jersey institution and I'm a big fan they're very accommodating and when it comes to my gluten and dairy issues and they're new turmeric lattes are super tasty.
I can’t say enough about the incredible experience we all had at HALCYON Montclair. I threw a bridal shower that was perfection from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, engaging, helpful, and everything you would want them to be. The food was prepared in a stunning way and abundant and was as delicious as it was beautiful. No less than 10 out of 30 people in attendance told me the chicken was the best they had ever had ( it really really was) . The other 15 said the salmon was the best they had ever had and the last five couldn’t stop raving about the pasta. I had quite a few dietary restrictions ( lots of celiacs in the crowd) and they handled it like pros. The decor is absolutely fantastic and fit in with our “love is in bloom” theme perfectly!
I could go on and on, but I will just say that if you have a party at HALCYON, you will be so glad that you did! I can’t wait to go back!!! .
Was there last night to celebrate my 18th birthday. There was 8 of us, we came at 6:30 and were basically the only people in the restaurant and we left around 8-8:30. To start off: the food was great, especially the spinach dip though if you have a gluten intolerance you specifically have to ask for corn chips. We had a variety of food (Mac and cheese, empanadas, salads and burgers) and everyone agreed the Mac and cheese was the best. The staff and owner?/manager? Was super sweet, wanting feedback since we are a big younger than their typical demographic. This is something I really appreciated knowing that they are constantly looking at ways to improve their menu to better suite a wide range of people. Do not even get me started on the desserts they were AMAZING over 10/10 will come back also quick shout out to Dez our server who put up with 8 high school girls for 2 hours
Not sure if its because of covid or worker shortages but everything is self order and pay on a smartphone. You do not have a server to ask questions and only a runner brings you your food and drinks. This made it feel kinda like a fast food restaurant, think shake shack. I went with one other person who had questions about gluten free options and what was actually in the cocktails, but there was noone to ask. Not for us.
Come to Sayola for my birthday celebration. The food is fantastic, and the ambiance is incredible. The standout items are the tapas—they're generously portioned and of excellent quality. They offer a variety of delicious cocktails. Our favorites were the octopus tapas and the chorizo. Additionally, they have excellent gluten-free options available. The highlight of the evening was definitely the tiramisu cake—it was simply delightful. I'm excited to return for live music in the future.
Thank you Mario for the best specialty pizza I’ve had since learning about my gluten allergy! Cauliflower crust was definitely the better choice and my leftovers even reheated great!!!
This place is super cute and has a delicious menu! I’m gluten free and dairy free and our server answered all of my questions about the food politely and even double checked something when he thought the chef misunderstood the question, saving me from getting sick!
I got the pollo a la brasa, my friend got the pork and both were delicious. My only complaint is that in my opinion the maduros weren’t ripe enough but I enjoyed this spot and will come again happily!
There’s lots of tables here and space for eating.
Excellent food. Had the,grilled flounder it was delicious. Service was great. Food came out quickly server was knowledgeable,was able to tell me what was gluten free.
I was so excited to visit this restaurant that when my friend cancelled at the last minute, I went alone. Fortunately for me I was on a conference call so I didn't feel lonely. The food was good. I ordered 3 sides and a salad as I am Gluten Free and there was not much on the entrée menu that I could order as I do not eat red meat and did not want shrimp n grits. I would have given the place 5 stars, but I took off a star for service. There was only 4 other people in the restaurant so it was empty. The owners were present and didn't come over to say hello, welcome to our restaurant or anything. They had friends there and only socialized with them. To top it off, there was some type of plastic particle in my collard greens. I placed it on the side of my plate and made the server aware. She replaced the collard greens, which was fine. The owner Tonza was present and saw what transpired and never came over to ask if there was an issue, apologize or ask if she could do anything to rectify it. It was disappointing, because even when I left they did not say thank you for coming or anything. Service is important in any business venture, especially a new business so I am hopeful that my experience will not be the same for someone else coming to support! Food for thought!
You eat a Burger from here and you will question every burger you ever had in your entire existence BEST BURGER SPOT IN NJ too me they have the Impossible Burger never had it because I'm not Vegan but I bet even that would taste better than other places and they may not have the Gluten free option yet but get your Burger without the Bun and it's still better than any other Burger spots. 🔥🔥🔥
Most of Montclair residents already know about the atmosphere of Thought and Motion and its people but have you tried their COFFEE??!! I look forward to Master White rabbit coffee that’s exclusively found in Thought and Motion every time I visit. There’s three levels of intensity and Master being the strongest one is by far my favorite coffee. It’s perfectly nutty, balanced and strong. I look forward to Master and so should you… && of course a side of lemon square or their gluten free chocolate muffin.
