My family and I recently celebrated my June birthday at Mellow Mushroom in Wake Forest. The entire staff was friendly, every person we passed spoke to us, and our server Lilly was an absolute delight. We had wings, cheese pizza, a calzone, and a gluten free Kosmic Karma that were all of exceptional quality. Lilly even surprised me with a (free!) birthday pretzel in the shape of a flower because I mentioned how my father and I love lillies and flowers after she introduced herself. That was incredibly thoughtful and it honestly made my day. My dad wasn't half way through lunch and was making plans to return for his own birthday.. in April.. but I'm willing to bet we make it back to see you guys before then! Thank you Lilly and thank you Mellow Mushroom! ❤️ 🍄 🍕

The service was great and it was clean. But the real reason we drove 30min for dinner...the amazing tasting gluten-free and corn free pizza! It is also good value in today's prices. We all had food to bring home. It's larger than the typical GF pizza you find. My husband loves their regular food too!

This is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in the area! I've lived here over 25 years, and it's been a challenge to find good quality, authentic Indian food. I've been here several times, and have ordered a wide variety:biryani, naan, paneer, dal makhni, saag, gobi manchurian, and malai kofta. All absolutely outstanding! I've added pictures below of the chicken biryani and Malai kofta. They have recently updated their menu too, and it identifies common allergens such as vegan, and nuts. All the entrees are gluten free too. Definitely will be back!!

The food at Curry House is absolutely incredible! I recently discovered this gem on DoorDash, and today, a coworker suggested we order takeout for the office. The food is also of much higher quality than the average restaurant. Amazing service, delicious food, and on-point ambiance. All meals are cooked to order. While takeout is good, dining in is even better. Kushal is an impeccable host! I've been to Wake Forest many times and had no idea that Curry House existed! This is a fantastic little Indian place with a sizable menu that clearly lists gluten, dairy, and vegan distinctions. They also ask about spice tolerance on a scale of 1-10. Everything we tried was delicious, and we will definitely be back! Curry House has become my favorite place to eat. I love how personal Kushal has become; he knows my order and is always so nice. He consistently goes above and beyond, and that is very much appreciated. I will forever love Curry House—it feels just like home. Also, their momo's are to die for! If you love dumplings, you have to try them. They are perfectly steamed with flavorful fillings and just the right amount of spice. Curry House has truly captured my heart and taste buds!

I am so pleasantly surprised by this place! The atmosphere reminds me of Chipotle a bit, but it's not an assembly line. The mac-and-cheese is absolutely delicious. And we got all gluten free for my mom, and it was also delicious. If I hadn't known it was gf, I wouldn't have been able to tell. Staff is very friendly. Highly, highly recommend!

I’m updating this review after the staff contacted me and were more than willing to improve my overall experience. I love trying new sushi restaurants and although the sushi rolls I ordered were not as tasty as I had hoped, I was contacted by someone at the restaurant who was friendly and apologized. I have a gluten intolerance and when I called to ask which rolls were gluten free, the lady who answered the phone did her best to answer my questions. I also ordered Tom yum soup which was good. The people who work here seem to genuinely care about your experience when visiting.

Sharing a review specifically for Sean, the General Manager of the Wake Forest location I came in during the dinner rush while all employees were juggling online and in-person orders. I have both an allergy to gluten and dairy, and had also made a mistake in my online order. Amidst the chaos of the dinner rush, Sean was calm and collected, and communicated kindly that he would check the status of my sandwich, and personally made the desired change when he saw it hadn’t been made yet. This was while still serving the needs of the customers in line. He continued to go above and beyond in making sure that I did not experience cross contamination or exposure to allergens, even remaking my sandwich immediately upon realizing that cheese had mistakenly been added. Throughout the interaction, he was extremely quick and efficient while also providing a customer service experience that never once made my allergies or complicated order feel like an inconvenience. He remained kind, calm in a chaotic environment, and attentive to the needs of employees and customers around him.

Been coming here for almost 8 years under the previous owner and George has done a great job taking it to the next level - the food is always great, the Italian dinners are not over salty which is a good thing, his Pizza is top notch and always has been (if you've never tried, get a large plain for $10.99 on Monday, you'll be impressed!) and they even offer a wonderful 14" gluten free crust now which is the perfect balance of thinner than a NY style but still crispy - Violet and her mom Betty work behind the counter and as waitresses - they are wonderful and greet you with a smile even though it seems to be always busy and firing on all cylinders inside - best pizza in town and dare I say one of the top pies in Wake County - keep up the great work to George and the hardworking good people in your restaurant and wish you continued success!

The kitchen is dirty. Proper cleaning of dishes is not followed. Sandwiches put on dirty pans to heat up. Brownies are from a box. They claim to have gluten free options but do not use different utensils for this, lots of cross contamination. Use dirty rags to wipe down tables and counters. Never saw employees wash hands.

Had a great experience here with Kaitlyn. I'm allergic to gluten, and as soon as I mentioned that, she changed her gloves and took extra precautions to make sure things were safe for me. It's always stressful when I eat out, but with someone like her, giving me a list of foods that were safe and making sure there wasn't any cross contamination I feel safe returning here! It was delicious and I didn't get sick. Thanks again!

Went there for dinner with husband. Had the B.K.E. sushi roll. Since I'm celiac and can not have any gluten, they removed the fried onion crisps. Their hibachi meals are great and plentiful. Just avoid the fried rice if needed and ask for the gluten free soy sauce. They have many ways to customize your meals and will work with you. Just need to ask the server to check with the kitchen. My server was very nice and accommodating.

I wanted to use my points before the year ends, so I stopped at the closest location near me. Surprisingly, at 5 pm, there was no line. We went thru the drive-through this time, but the inside is always clean. All of the associates we engaged with during this visit were kind. Our fries were fresh! My sandwich on gluten-free bread was perfect. This was my first time trying the crunchy kale salad. It was good. But I didn't receive the almonds that compliment it. I received tomatoe crispy red bell peppers instead.
