hidden gem!! cute diner with tons of gluten free options. I let the server know of my gluten allergy, the staff were very knowledgeable. the buckwheat chocolate chip pancakes were delicious- even my non gluten free husband loved! definitely recommend making a pit stop here

Heather Coupland

Cannot get enough of this place. We will drive 50 minutes, absolutely fighting for our lives in Hartford bound traffic, and once we’re seated that experience is completely erased and replaced with a giant bowl of lamb hummus. Please if you get any starters let it be this. I love mixing and matching the small plates and we share with the table. The Brussels sprouts are always cooked perfectly and the batata harra is soooo delicious. Beware if you don’t like garlic (which would be wacky). The desserts are also lovely especially the pistachio cake. There’s a lot of naturally gluten free options on the menu which is awesome and it’s easy to eat here as a vegan/vegetarian as well. I’ve heard amazing things about the whole roasted cauliflower. There’s an open kitchen and you get to see the puffed up pitas come out of the oven. The staff is wonderful and if you’re lucky Bri will be your waiter. She knows the menu inside and out and will always recommend the best things on the menu.

Their gluten free pizza / crust is one of my favorite options in the area!

Great place!!! My Family and I ate there the other day for first time and was super impressed with the food. We had a bunch of the appetizers and main courses and they were all excellent. The food was simple and fresh tasting. They had plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options which is always welcomed. They had gluten free falafel which I rarely see and was such a nice change of pace to be able to enjoy this even though I am gluten free. You would think now-a-days everyone would have gluten free falafel but I have never seen it on a menu before. The waitress was super nice and attentive. It was a slow paced meal but in a good way; The place isn't too big so there is more attention to the food and what is going out. Located slightly off the main drag which is nice cause its peaceful when eating outside which we did. This place is great for families or low key date nights. Highly recommend.

I went here for the first time this summer and since then I have frequented this place every week or sometimes 2 times per week. Having a gluten allergy its often hard to find places that have good food and multiple options. The food is great, the owners are present and the sevice awesome. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience. Never have I seen an Italian restaurant with so many gluten free options.

Chelsea Clemens

Good classic diner, great place to take kids as well! Food is fresh/ good quality! Easy on/off exit 14 we come from stamford on the weekends! Kids always finish their food and have fun. My husband and I love our food too- they even have allergen-free options such as gluten free. Gluten free pancakes are very good! Staff are all super nice and place is family oriented ! Happy to have found a new spot 😊

Olivia Korell

Great options for gluten free or vegan. Some of the best fries I've had. Our family loves all their wraps too.

I can't have gluten dairy tree nuts it's hard to find good places to eat with so many food allergy it's great when when you can find a gluten free place and feel part of the family .

Rawa is a gem in Westville, New Haven neighborhood. The staff is always so kind and they have a great rotating selection of cocktails and mocktails. Their dishes (which have many options for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian) have so much flavor and quality olive oil with the right amount of subtle spices. Our favorites are the baba ghanouj, the tabbouleh, and any of the biryani dishes. If you save room for dessert, the baklava is absolutely to die for.

I had the gluten free butternut squash ravioli on Saturday and spent the following 24 hours fighting for my life from food poisoning. I see most reviews are stellar but a few have mentioned cleanliness. At a time when recalls and food borne illnesses are at a high it’s really important to be extra vigilant with food safety.

Service & food was very good! Didn't wait long to be seated even though Pantheon Diner was busy. Got coffee in an old timey cup & saucer instead of a mug. That was a surprise. Must have been right at 8 ounces because I usually take 3 creamers & 3 sweeteners but only two of each fit. As a coffee drinker it matters but that's ok cause refill is a coming. Um, coffee is not strong. A bit on the watered down side to me but could be just me. Price a little more than expected ($$) but New England, I'm learning, is like that. (Moved from Vegas so if you've been, you know full breakfasts or buffets can be VERY inexpensive). I ordered their 3 egg cheese omelet which included home potatoes & toast. I asked for gluten free toast which was very good. Potatoes were oh so tasty! I love spuds & broke my keto diet to eat them,...I'm bad. NOW, the omelet. Needed 1: something else other than onion, perhaps bell pepper, or seasoning? Or option thereof. and 2: the cheese, I believe was (gag) 'American' cheese OR (not so gag) less quality Monterey Jack cheese. The cheese was flavorless and looked like melted white plastic goo. It was still palatable because eggs were tasty but the cheese didn't enhance the flavor at all and probably could have been left out. Another quirk was my husband ask for sourdough bread toast instead of their regular toast. 75 cents extra for sourdough toast?? Other places either don't charge extra or that much! Seriously? Seemed odd to us especially since my hubby barely could taste it was sourdough. Almost wonder what the other toast is. Darn, I forgot to ask him if they charged that for my gluten free. But the home potatoes made it! So good even my hubby said we'd go back for the potatoes lol The servers were very nice and attentive. The food didn't take long to arrive at all. I like the old timey ambience in diners. They feel like the world use to feel like. Warm, familiar, safe with something good coming your way. Go to Pantheon, just ask about the cheese & toast options first, lol. Written by Steve's wife, Fatima Perry

Laylas is definitely growing heavy in my Stamford gluten free rotation. There are ample gf options including the falafel, hummus, and fries and they have a dedicated gf fryer. The staff at the cashier was very helpful and they had good procedures for avoiding cross contamination. I particularly loved the grape leaves. Only bummer is a lack of gluten free pita.

Tamara Clayton

Came for the gluten free pizza. Absolutely amazing! Will definitely be coming back 🙌🏽 The staff welcomed us in smiles. Service was great. Food came out quickly, fresh, and was steaming hot. Atmosphere is small and quaint.

Catie

Maybe you should tell someone that you ran out of the ONE gluten free pasta you had before you have the entire table order!! We would have left! Your servers should know this before you put in the entire tables order. Also not gluten free friendly at all, there’s hardly any options as it is

Barbara Ellis

Lucy Kinsley

Server was very upbeat and kind. Gluten-free needs were well met. Food tasted good!

Haley Spencer

As a large family, it’s always tricky to find a good place and a gluten free friendly restaurant. Bon appetit is always amazing, the food, the service, and the atmosphere. It’s one of our new favorites

Sae

Gluten free cheese bread available. The pulled pork eggs Benedict is awesome

barbara levine

I took. Home hummus with herbs. fresh! Kept fresh for 11 days, yummy. I ate a cabbage slaw with a lentil bean mixture. Portion large. Took home and had for 2 more meals. Gluten free and vegan.

Molly Chapman

stopped in for lunch with a friend, informed the server that I have Celiac and cannot have any gluten and was told they could not accommodate us at all. not even just eggs and bacon on a separate grill, apparently their kitchen is so dirty nothing is safe at this place. We ended up going across the parking lot to Andiamo, where they can make almost their whole menu gluten free.

Allan DeYoung

Very tasty, plentiful and great value. Enjoyed the Gyro lamb on rice with lots of yummy sides/toppings. Also, a gluten free chicken dish!

Julie Williams Stoner

Server was wonderful! However, compared to the Olive Garden on Boston Post, chef was less than accommodating. I've never had a chef not willing to make a simple butter/white wine sauce for my gluten free pasta... until last night. The best the chef 'offered' was butter & parmesan cheese...not a sauce mind you...just a little bit of butter with grated parmesan. Probably won't be back.

Dustin Heath

Stopped in for takeout while on a roadtrip. Service was quick, the staff was kind and the interior very inviting. Gave off a family style atmosphere with a priority on good food, drinks, and comfortable environment. The burgers were flavorful and cooked to the right temperature. They also have a good gluten free bun option.

Carol Lehmann

Love this sweet restaurant! It is beautiful and classy with a gorgeous stained glass wall. We both had a gluten free grilled cheese with lobster bisque. It was the best gluten free bread I have ever had and the lobster bisque was plentiful and delicious! All for 14.00. Excellent and comfortable service make this restaurant a gem!

Elizabeth Peterson

Had the hummus, tabouleh Salad with Lamb, grape leaves. Absolutely fabulous! The owner Omar was very friendly and knowledgable about celiac disease.Everything was made fresh! So, delicious!

Nome Gnome

So amazing good, even accommodated someone with Celiac. Food was to die for delicious!! We had several meals and all were rave worthy!!

Melanie Yukov

These people are hospitable to the core. Expect to leave having sampled something new or going home with something extra on the house! Careful if gluten free to specify since they put noodles in the rice. I am very grateful for this place and the yummy home cooked food!

Bethany Riley

One of my favorite hidden spots in Litchfield county. The food is always exceptional. The service is great. Greek Salad is one of our go to GF menu items

StaceyMarieSings

Their kitchen is open late, which was a godsend after a really long day at work. Actually, a neighboring restaurant directed me here because of that, which was really nice of them. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was amazing. I'm gluten free and was able to find plenty of options. Had apps, food and red sangria. Highly recommend the grilled calamari which was so tender and flavorful.

Icon Gate Entertainment

Kiki's Kitchen in Plainville is a great little spot with a nice variety of foods. Like many other reviews have said, it is a bit pricey. However you are getting freshly prepared and fresh tasting food. Steak Dip pizza was a unique flavor combination and definitely worth a try. Lamb Gyro tasted great. Gluten Free cheesecake was pretty good too, but again very pricey (big city, white table cloth prices). Service is very friendly and easy parking in the back.

Julia Mushyakov

We have been coming here since sometime last year. There has not been a single instance where the food wasn't perfection. Walking into the restaurant we are treated like family. The service, the food, the atmosphere is a 10/10 every single time. We must have been here or gotten take out at least 15 times at this point and we plan on continuing dining at this amazing little place for years to come. The specials are delicious, and regular menu items are absolutely wonderful and made to perfection. My husband has celiac and he has never come home sick, which is pretty incredible for a place that specializes in Mediterranean food. Keep up the amazing work guys. See you soon, I'm sure!

Joseph Mucherino

Amazing Turkish restaurant absolutely delightful. It was very clean throughout and with beautiful decor. I had lunch with my daughter and son-in-law who also enjoyed everything. The menu is outstanding and so much to choose…also gluten-free food. So I ask several questions about what they recommend because I’ve never eaten Turkish food. So they recommended to check the food that’s on display in front of kitchen. The service was quick…the food and dessert was so delicious. I would like give thanks to our outstanding server DERYA…she was so helpful and friendly. We will be coming back soon!

First time visiting last night. Say out on the patio. Food was great. Ropa Vieja , avocado quinoa salad and Parrillada de carne all were great! Service was very attentive. Almost everything was gluten free which was fantastic as I have a severe allergies and had no reaction. We will return!

Sheila Desalurier

This Deli was a lovely surprise! My son and I stopped here on a whim and are very glad we did. We got 2 truly delicious gluten-free, well priced sandwiches. Both sandwiches were filled to the brim with fresh, delicious ingredients. All 3 individuals who waited on us were very courteous, and the place itself was clean and well organized. We will definitely be back!

Paula Habib

They handled my Celiac ( gluten-free) and everything was terrific.

Martha Rogers

Showed up on a Friday night with a party of 11 including young children (thought one of us made a reservation but we didn't). They welcomed us, made no errors serving us, the food was outstanding, the staff friendly, and we all had a great birthday dinner for our relative. It was our 1st time there. We will return! CELIACS FRIENDLY and kind! Waitress went out of her way to make sure my GF needs were met!

Erik Babin

karen cerasuolo

The food was delicious and the the atmosphere of the restaurant was very comfortable. There were many choices for anyone requiring gluten free or vegetarian options as well as traditional fare. We were a party of nine and everyone raved about their meal. Andrea the owner was very kind and accommodating.

Chris Minar

Good spot. All of the dips are gluten free and several of the small plates and entrees. Had HUMMUS TAHINI, BABA GHANOUSH and SPICEY FETA. Had to get vegetable crude te since bread is not GF. Wife had the FREE RANGE CHICKEN "MASCHAN" which was really good and o had the BLACK ANGUS RIBEYE SHAWARMA which was amazing! I could have done without the parsley side. There were several dessert that were GF as well but did not partake.

Maureen Brasel

Olympia Bordelon

Delicious vegan and gluten free options. Falafel is the best I’ve ever had. The fresh OJ is a must order. Havenly is absolutely amazing and I hope they can expand. An elegant casual restaurant, it’s the perfect place to meet friends and family or hang out with a book. Can’t wait to come back.

Lorraine Myers

Wendy Hagwood

Yummy food and gluten free options. Server was knowledgeable on what was safe which made me super happy. We hope to go back. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken skewers.

Luis Ferreira

Nice place but disappointed with gluten free pizza size. Definitely recommend the garlic bread with cheese though
