Really great quality food, large variety of gluten free - best gluten free fried chicken I've had in Sydney!!

Our group of seven were so well looked after. The extensive Gluten Free menu was well appreciated. So many gluten free desserts, it was difficult to choose. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. The view is amazing also. Staff were very obliging.

I was really looking forward to dining here after hearing such great things, especially because of the mostly gluten-free menu. Ideal for celebrating a coeliac friend’s birthday. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. The portion sizes were shocking for the price. $28 for a plate of heirloom tomatoes and stracciatella felt steep for what we received. The cauliflower dish was also underwhelming, it was bland and lacking in flavour. The sticky date pudding and the cardamom yogurt were great but didn’t redeem the meal. While I could understand paying premium prices for amazing atmosphere or great flavours, neither were memorable. Disappointing overall, especially given the great reviews and high prices.

MID Overall, we had a mixed experience – some dishes were delicious, but several service and food issues kept the evening from being truly special. • Tasty mains: The lamb (with potatoes) was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. • Great gluten-free dessert: The gluten-free rhubarb dessert was a wonderful end to the meal – creative and flavorful. Areas for Improvement • Slow service for basics: Water service was slow, and one of our cocktails was forgotten until we reminded the staff. • Service slip-ups: A waiter dropped cutlery near our table, and we were almost served a drink in a chipped glass (caught just in time). • Table clutter: Unused wine glasses stayed on our table all night, which felt cluttered and unnecessary. • No dish explanations: Each dish was delivered with no description or introduction, leaving us guessing what we were eating. • Food quality issues: Some ingredients not fresh – the cauliflower salad had pomegranate seeds that tasted old, and a gluten-free zucchini flower appetizer had an off (fishy) taste. • Burnt dessert: Unfortunately, the churros we ordered came out burnt, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion.

We came here because I've had it on the list for coeliac friendly things when we are driving down the M5. Having never been here before I didn't understand the menu, when the very friendly gent on the register asked what salad I wanted with my deconstructed yiros, I said "just the onion and parsley please", because they state yiros come with tomato, onion, etc. and I don't like it so I just asked for the onion I could see in the prep area. When I received it, it had Greek salad with cheese all over it on the plate, and when I said to the blonde lady I asked for just onion, she got really rude and threw the chips and meat in a dump on another plate and was all "We don't do that!" If you don't, why ask? Sitting down and reading the menu 100 times over again, I realise that the salad on the deconstructed is the salad in the cabinets, and not the salad that they label out for the yiros. Easy mistake, but the reaction from the woman was like I asked for something they don't have. And the plate was such a mess I had to order extra chips to satisfy my child who is the coeliac and didn't want to eat it looking like a tip (because neurodivergent kids are annoying like that). Lovely food and with coealic options low on the ground we will come again, but will know to specify in future with a PowerPoint presentation and interpretive dance to hopefully avoid her wrath again.

Asked for a gluten free pizza for a Friend: she says is one of the best she's had. The other two also were very good and tasty. Totally recommend this place

Love this place!! Came here for a meal with family last Friday night. The space is beautifully designed, the staff were fantastic, so friendly and absolutely take pride in their restaurant. The sticky date lamb was incredible, highly recommend. Lots of gluten free and dairy free also on the menu which is great as we had a ceoliac with us. Thanks guys, will definitely be back.

Fantastic food at a beautiful venue. The service was friendly and attentive, and they cater to coeliac requirements in a very welcoming manner! They can make almost everything (apart from the fried options) coeliac friendly, and the banquet and skewers we had were delightful and extremely generous! The baba ganoush and tabbouleh were some of the best I've ever had!

Tara Nath

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed dining at the Mez Club. They do a contemporary take on Moroccan food. Excellent food and very creative cocktails! Many of the dishes are vegetarian and/or gluten free. The crème brûlée is a must try! Staff are lovely.

Catherine Chen

Quite delicious. If you get the set menu, portions seem a bit small at first but by the end, you’re stuffed. Nothing super ground breaking, just modern Middle Eastern fusion done well and presented beautifully. Sat outside and the bar table is a bit unstable, plus the ground is sloped. A bit awkward to deal with but not terrible. Plenty of gluten free options and well communicated. Nothing that stood out as a must have again but still a solid choice for an upmarket meal out.

Wonderful gluten free pita. My boy had the chicken pita bread gluten free and removed the spicy and dairy ingredient in its app. The pita was nice when it was served warm. I had the standard mini chicken wrap. Love this Greek street food. We like the alfresco sitting area too.

My friends and I had a wonderful dinner here on New Year's Eve. Nothing was too much trouble for the restaurant and they catered beautifully for our gluten-free and vegan guests, and the staff were very welcoming. The food was delicious. Thank you for a lovely evening, we will definitely be back!

Absolutely incredible food and service.. also the most delicious Gluten free lemon tart

Brian Anthony

Visited twice for dinner during a stay in The Rocks. We absolutely loved the menu items across each course, with amazing flavors and high quality ingredients. The lamb shoulder was “melt in your mouth” tender. Amazing cauliflower side dish. The humus dip is spectacularly good and we fought over that. There were multiple Gluten Free options in each course, even desserts! The team are attentive and genuinely friendly. Cocktails arrived quickly and wine recommendations were helpful. Highly recommended!

Ordered lunch into our office for 35 people at a workshop - arrived on time, was amazing taste and quality. Not a single complaint! Recommend the pizzas and the gluten free options were loved also! Thanks Ooshman Waterloo!

My experience at Shaffa was nothing short of exceptional. The food is absolutely outstanding—rich in flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with creativity and care. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance: sleek and stylish, yet relaxed and unpretentious. The unique layout adds a rustic, authentic charm that makes you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere far from the usual Sydney dining scene. The menu is a standout—varied, inventive, and full of soul. Each dish reflects thoughtful preparation and bold, memorable flavours. What truly elevates Shaffa, though, is the service. Veronica and her team strike a rare balance of being warm and personable while remaining impressively professional and attentive. Nothing feels like too much trouble. We were looked after by the wonderful Francis, who brought the whole experience together with his deep knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. He took the time to ask insightful questions about our preferences and made thoughtful recommendations that hit the mark. His attentiveness—especially toward my partner’s gluten intolerance—was both considerate and seamless. I can’t recommend Shaffa highly enough for your next meal out. You’ll be in for a memorable, delicious experience from start to finish.

What an excellent restaurant! I booked Calico as we were going to a Saturday night show and wanted something within walking distance. It's always a bit of a stressful responsibility booking a new restaurant for a group, but we were all thrilled with the amazing menu and felt very looked after by the staff; Paul was an absolute delight! I had the Wild Shroom dish along with the Coco Loco smoothie and both were fantastic. Our entree was the pumpkin hummus, breads (including a gluten-free option) and burrata and it was all so tasty. Would highly recommend dining here and we'll 100% come back again! Thanks Calico!

Love their gluten free options here. They are delicious!! Make sure you let them know you’re celiac and they’ll take good care of you.

Joanna Gershon

Excellent food and a good variety of gluten free options. If you’re gluten free you have to try the malawach it’s delicious!

Such a wonderful date spot. Delicious gluten free-knowledgable staff as well. We absolutely love it here and come as often as we can. The staff is 10/10 too!!

We have eaten here a couple of times before seeing a show at the Enmore. The hostess is super friendly and is very accommodating. She takes her time to understand our dietary requirements (husband in coeliac and I am low fodmap) and each time we have been here we have both been given amazing options for dishes we can both have. We ate here last night and the hostess (sorry we havent caught her name yet) remembered us from last time and that we have dietary requirements. Then you get the food, omg such delicious food. Last night I had the marinated haloumi and for main I had the prawn and lobster linguine (minus the garlic cos I cant eat garlic) and then I had the creme Broulee with Belgium chocolate sorbet! Thank you to all the amazing staff for the excellent customer service and for modifying meals so we can eat the delicious foods you offer. We look forward to dining here again next time we venture to the big smoke

We’ve only recently found this place & everything we tried is absolutely delicious! The best crispy chips I’ve tried with amazing garlic sauce. Stoked that they offer gluten free wraps also, which was very tasty! Definitely our new local go to ⭐️

This place is AMAZING that it is even better than places I visited in the heart of Istanbul! 100% authentic!! I am visiting from Melbourne with my friend and she took me here for an authentic Turkish cuisine and she wasn't wrong! She wanted me to try the grills but what blew my mind was the stuffed vegetables! Home made with love ❤️ The meats were also very juicey and tender and cooked to perfection! I even took it home re-heated it and it was still very juicey and delicious! Very fresh foods! I am coeliac though and I've let them know I am gluten free and although they went above and beyond and out of their way the stuffed vegetables had bulgur which is not GF so please be extra cautious with allergies guys as coeliac is a very serious disease!!

I came here the other night. Their menu had gf online however didn’t state that on the QR menu. I’m intolerant (not coeliac) so I clarified if those dishes were gluten free which they checked with the kitchen and replied yes, however, that night I was so sick and bloated due to their being a significant amount of gluten in something. I understand cross contamination and the risk but i have never been that sick from something stated gluten free. I won’t be returning as I’m too scared to trust it and don’t think it should be labeled as gluten free if it has that much of an impact on someone who is just intolerant.

Food was excellent + great care taken with gluten free. We will be back

The service we got from El Karim was fantastic! We ordered takeaway and noted in the order our daughter was coeliac to ensure they took care not to cross-contaminate. When unpacking the food we noticed pita breads had been placed in the container on top of the GF Shish. I rang, wondering if perhaps they were GF pitas (they weren't). The owner was so quick to recognise he made a mistake that he instantly offered to make up an entirely fresh order. That was very kind of him, but we didn't need all the food to be replaced. He then offered to just cook new chicken & lamb shish for us and just told us he would deliver them to our door (El Karim don't normally offer delivery). The new food arrived in 15 minutes!!! That was above and beyond great service and we really appreciated it. Oh, and the food was superb too! Thank you El Karim for taking such good care of us!

So so tasty! And happily made everything gluten free. Also loved the cinnamon peppermint tea.

I went here on Sunday to order a chicken wrap on gluten free pita with extra chicken, and honestly, I wish I hadn’t. I was greeted by someone who clearly didn’t want to be there—no smile, no energy, just a miserable attitude. Wrap was a complete disappointment. The chicken was burnt, barely any sauce, and the whole thing was very dry and flavourless. It was like eating cardboard. Absolutely disappointed. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about their food and service.
