Great restaurant! I was able to eat an excellent gluten-free pizza 👌☺️ Thanks to Ruby for her service 😍

Jamie

Great vegan and gluten-free options

Chloe Banham

Great gluten free pie options, the service was lovely. There were a couple of issues with our meal but they dealt with them well.

Maria

I absolutely love the place! Perfect for gluten free and super cute. It is quite small but this is part of its charm. Service is amazing and so welcoming :) I recommend any of the brownies and the gluten free bagel is out of this world !

phil kennedy

Incredible gluten free and vegan options. Staff always friendly!

Chlo Baulcombe

Had a great experience catching up with friends. The staff were super helpful and accommodating to my gluten free intolerance. We were served by Ubayd who delivered a friendly and generous experience for me and my friends

Amanda Flanagan

Went for an early mid week tea. There was a separate Gluten Free Menu with plenty of options and the allergen handling was clearly explained, I ordered a smoothie and the staff member made sure all the equipment was swapped out before making. Food was delicious and speedy. Items were also clearly labelled with allergen markers which was reassuring. Can't wait to go back and try something else from the menu!

Second Bill's I've dined at, the last being in London. Great service, consistent quality, great GF variety. They have a separate Gluten Free menu and you are served your food by a manager for safety. 5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

visited Manchester today for my scheduled monthly trip with my son and husband. We dined at the Hard Rock Cafe, our preferred establishment, appreciating its exceptional atmosphere, staff, and cuisine. The restaurant's accommodation of my son's and my coeliac disease is particularly noteworthy, ensuring both safety and deliciousness. Our server, Steven, provided attentive, friendly, and welcoming service. His own experience with coeliac disease was a significant advantage, eliminating any need for extensive explanation (though the Hard Rock Cafe staff are consistently accommodating). He thoroughly explained the kitchen's procedures. Despite our familiarity with the restaurant, their reassurances regarding food safety were appreciated. Manager Rik also checked on our experience, reiterating the safety protocols. My son particularly enjoyed the attention, a welcome respite after a challenging week at school.

Such a lovely place we came on Saturday my mam is gluten and dairy free and it was not a problem, the food was lovely we all had the flat iron steak, friendly atmosphere and the staff were so helpful and happy in their work. We moved into the bar area after our meal and it was so relaxing. Thank you to all of the staff Ash, Simon, Paulo and Tyler it was lovely to meet you all and we will definitely be back.

Jackie Swayze

Great pies! Love that they have gluten free options. I had the gluten free ranger and garden peas - would absolutely come here again!

Came here for takeaway for 3 on a late Sunday afternoon as my daughter is Coeliac. Had the cod and chips with mushy peas and curry sauces. The staff were friendly and the fish was delicious, even after a 30 minute drive back to North Manchester. I’d definitely buy from this takeaway again but beware of the parking cameras which monitor the road outside the shop as they allow only 15 minutes and we nearly exceeded this despite it being a quiet time

Fiona Beresford

Nice place to eat, clearly labelled vegan and or vegetarian and or gluten free foods. Good enough standard. The cauliflower wings were sold out, so too were the cashew nuts. Took 40 mins to receive our food after our 2 pm booking and food order. Seems like a nice place to go for afternoon tea?

They don’t have a separate gluten free menu but almost everything can be made gluten free except from 2 or 3 dishes. They do have gluten in the kitchen so cross contamination is a possibility even if they take every precaution. Had the avocado on toast with poached egg for breakfast and a coconut flat white. The avocado on toast came with GF brioche bread which was very nice. The dish itself was nicely prepared with some lovely flavours. I’m a bit of a coffee snob and found the flat white was quite average. If I lived in Manchester I would definitely go back to try other dishes on the menu.

Sam Stone

We ate here as a group of 8 work colleagues for an evening meal and we all had a great time. I had booked a table in advance which was lucky as the restaurant was full when we arrived (apart from our booked table!) The woman serving our table was very nice and friendly throughout the whole meal. As long as you like pizza the menu is perfect! Many choices of different pizzas. I love Neapolitan pizza but it still requires good ingredients and skill to cook it correctly. And this place did not disappoint! Pizza was cooked perfectly. Lovely tomato sauce. Perfect amount of toppings. And most important amazing dough with just the right thickness around the edges. One of our party is gluten free, and he said his pizza was one of the best he'd had. (There are many pizza restaurants in town, and when I was making this booking I had narrowed it down to two places but I chose here because my other choice didn't do gluten free bases at all) Everyone had a really good meal and I would definitely come back here for more pizza.

Cellie Auger

nice place with tasty gluten free pasta

Phillip Morgan

I always love the Tea Hive, they serve great tea and coffee, plus a really good selection of cakes, many of which come as Vegan or Gluten free. The food is always fantastic, plentiful portion sizes with fresh, quality ingredients

Hannah Mitchell

Brought my mum with gluten and dairy intolerance. Amazing service. 10/10 for the gluten and dairy free fish and chips Thank you.

Gracie Robertson

I love this place. I am a regular here, whether it’s just to get a takeaway drink or sit in and get some work done over a great brunch. They have gluten free and vegan options and the quality and quantity is great. My favourite is always the soups which are always changing. And usually their drinks are always great. However I got an iced matcha with oat milk today and was VERY disappointed. There was practically no matcha. The drink was very light green and very milky. Just semi-matcha flavoured milk. This is the one drink I wouldn’t recommend or get again. It was £4.90 and just not worth it. Very bland and no flavour. Left me quite upset and let down as I do like this spot so much and am always purchasing from them. I then went in about 2 weeks later to sit in and ordered another iced matcha and what I got was shocking. The drink was TINY and gone in about 2 sips, mind you half of the drink was just ice. So disappointing and just a rip off. (I have shown a picture of the drink next to my index finger for reference of how small the glass of matcha I was served really was.) I understand matcha is expensive but if you can’t serve quality drinks or offer the option of to add extra matcha powder then don’t serve the drink period.

Ellie Mcdonald

Absolutely amazing food and wonderful service. Plenty of gluten free choices and perfect place to share a couple of dishes with friends or just have something to yourself, although not the cheapest definitely worth the price.

Jo J

It's so nice to eat somewhere that has good options for someone who is both veggie and gluten-intolerant. Often, restaurants think you can be one or the other but Maray catered for us well. Very tasty dishes, nice atmosphere and the 2 wait staff we had were very friendly and helpful.

Ashleigh Tara

We had Simon serving us, he was friendly and super helpful. I am coeliac and had a gluten free pizza, fries and brownie which were all delicious. Best gluten free pizza outside of Italy! No photos as I was too excited to eat it. My boyfriend says the strawberry ice cream is lovely too.

Sonja Hartwig

Jannah has been AMAZING!!!!! She took care of our gluteness needs in such a warm and welcoming non judgmental way… quiet encouraging. It has been one of the best dinner experiences we have had in a long time. Thank you. ♥️💋♥️💋

Ruaridh Williams

Great gluten-free pizza & dough balls. Friendly & quick service 🙌🏼

Rowanne Dinning

We had a lovely time at Namii, after I was gifted a voucher by friends for my birthday. CC and our other server with the bright pink hair (apologies forgotten your name) were very welcoming, accommodating and friendly. CC offered to take pictures of my partner and I which was appreciated. The food was delicious, and I was gifted a free dessert as I said I was here with a voucher I received for my birthday. Several meals looked great, and they are very accommodating for gluten free eaters like me, and vegetarians/vegans

Ian Mc Neill

Yolanda was amazing! Exceptional service and as a Coeliac she explained everything so well! Food was great & had one of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve ever had

Victoria Round

Very good food and great service, Josh the waiter was very kind and understanding of my coeliac disease and every other member of staff we spoke to was friendly and approachable

Simone Algisi

Good gluten free pizza and fusilli ragu. Gluten free options clearly marked on the menu and the staff is very knowledgeable

Cheryl Pearson

Awesome spot for coeliacs and GF people. Food is spectacular. Nothing is off limits !

Sophie

George was the most attentive waiter really accommodating to my gluten free needs and the staff all were so careful and attentive and even used different oil. Amazing service, allergen friendly, stunning Italian dining experience.

Frank Cilla

This is my absolute favorite place in Manchester. I came here while visiting from the US and everyone in my family loved the food. My daughter has celiac and cannot eat gluten and this is the best meal we have had in a very long time. The arepas were so full and fresh I wish I had more time to try others. We had the chicken and the beef and both were phenomenal. We also ate empanadas and they were some of the best I’ve ever had. Not only was the food amazing but the service might have been even better. They were so accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten allergies and ensured we had a great experience here. I can’t say enough how amazing Mia’s Arepas is and highly recommend to anyone in the Manchester area. Thank you for making our family trip even better with your delicious food!

Tegan Carney

We were welcomed immediately upon entering and our server MyMint was friendly and efficient. One of our party is coeliac and the other is allergic to mustard, so dining out can be very stressful, but the detailed allergen menu and MyMint's confidence with asking about allergies left us feeling reassured and relaxed to enjoy our meal. It was a fantastic experience and I'd love to come back to explore more of the menu.

John O'Hare

Lovely food and great for gluten free

Victoria Coleman

Lovely, staff really helpful, happy and nice to talk to. I'm celiac and felt well looked after, thank you. Served by Simon chef was Steven.

susan collins

Disappointing. Had a gluten free pizza. Tomato sauce and cheese were sparse with some ham and mushrooms Ate less than half. Offered free dessert. An Italian restaurant which is unable to create a pizza is to be avoided. Won't be back.

Yvonne Rogers

Staff were friendly and were careful to understand my allergy requirements. Lots of gluten free options and the dosa was amazing!

Charlie Clark

Really good food, cocktails and great service from Nic, especially accommodating to a gluten allergy! Both her and the host were really understanding and explained everything really clearly. Desserts were given free as an anniversary gift which we really appreciated!

Adhvaidhi

The place is and will always be amazing!! Budget friendly food and the best cocktails. We went for dinner and genuinely had a great time!! The food is finger liking good, and the best part is they got a gluten-free menu and vegan menu catering to our needs. The cocktails were simply amazing xx. The waiting staff were great, too. A bit loud with the music, but apart from that, it's really good. Definitely recommend.

A SP

Really friendly service and well-looked after by Keesha. She dealt with my gluten allergy and recommended dishes. The summer menu is delicious and loved the burnt Basque cheesecake. I know I can always rely on Waggas to deliver tasty gluten-free food and l really enjoyed the North Atlantis G.F. IPA. Thanks Keesha and team for another enjoyable evening.

Peter Hayes

The tastiest food and a really lovely vibe. Generous portions, too! My gluten free diet due to Coeliac disease, catered for beautifully. In Manchester? Pay these guys a visit. Once you’ve tasted the food, you’ll thank me! You’re welcome…

Jodie Reynolds

Really poor for gluten intolerant people. The QR code isn’t accurate and shows only 2 times available. Made for a very stressful hard way to order. Needs a GF paper menu to specify what has CONTACT with gluten and what has gluten INSIDE.

Ashleigh Wilson

Prebooked a 2 course Christmas meal with friends. Mainly due to gluten free options available. Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Extensive drinks menu - i tried a few coctails and tye salted caramel martini was amazing! Absolutely will be back in the new year.

Chris OH (Chris)

The food was delicious and fresh! Even the salad with the crackers tasted good. We had a friend who needed gluten free and it was accommodated so well. I really enjoyed the pineapple fried rice. Inside a pineapple!

Thibaut

Went for the breakfast and it was as expected: very good! Make sure to come early or to book a table (I don’t know if they take reservations) because it can take some time to get a table. Of course there are several vegetarian and vegan options as well as gluten-free!

S Chowdhury

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious with a great variety — loads of halal options and plenty of naturally gluten-free choices too, which was perfect. The salad bar was super fresh and honestly one of the best I’ve had. Service was excellent — one of the staff kindly asked if we were waiting for a specific meat and made sure it was brought over to us quickly. The highlight for me was the cinnamon pineapple… unreal! I’d go back just for that alone. Only downside was the atmosphere — it was quite busy and noisy, so a bit hard to have a conversation and hear what the waiters were saying. But the food and service made it totally worth it. Will definitely be back!

Macartney Forbes

Brilliant birthday dinner, expertly served by Carmen from Bilbao. Drinks at the bar, including 0.0% and gluten free options. Quite the best steaks we both have eaten, probably ever. A rare fillet and medium ribeye, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend the creamy spinach and we also had delicious fries. The jus served with the ribeye was delicious GF alternative to some of the sauces. Side of maple bacon was an excellent sweet aside. 10/10 to Carmen for attentive, friendly, smiley service.

Alanah Moulsdale

Accredited by coeliac UK, they have a dedicated gluten free menu with lots of tasty options.

Amazing coffee and gluten free choc brownie and exceptional service from Fraya
