Love true foods ! Waitress was very accommodating for my daughter order who just wanted a gluten free pizza with red sauce and vegan cheese . Love the lavender matcha ! I always order that and so many vegan options. First time trying the vegan cookie and ice cream was delish !

Food was excellent & service was awesome! I’m gluten free and they were so accommodating. Honestly no complaints what so ever. Appetizer: calamari was beyond delicious. I had the salmon for dinner and it was so good

My team was traveling from Seattle and looking for catering for a Saturday night dinner. I'm so glad we found Norma's! From planning the catering order, to delivering to the hotel, working with Norma's was quick, easy and wonderful. When I wasn't sure what to order, Elias hand-made a catering order for our team, knowing the athletes would need a lot of food and ensured no one would go hungry. The food was absolutely delicious, everything from the vegetarian, gluten free, and the meat options! We will forever order from Norma's when we are back in town.

Kerry Leccese

GF crepes are amazing!

Kia Hamm (the happy hamm)

Food was good and fresh; ample gluten free options. Nice and clean w/ minimal decor.

The food is awesome and they even have gluten free options, however every time I order from here something goes wrong with my order, every single time. I feel like things can be improved as far as organization and communication. I just ordered one sandwich for close to 20 dollars. The store told me that it would be ready at 307 and that if it was ready sooner, they would text me. I did not receive a text so I waited till 307. I went inside and my sandwich was in a bag sitting there and I said to the employee - “this was ready for how long?” And he said 15 minutes. So I said, “Why didn’t you text me” and he said “Oh I forgot” meanwhile, there was nobody in the store. It was completely dead, and my bag is sitting there and there’s another employee in the restaurant as well, doing nothing. Needless to say, my sandwich was ice cold. And not only that, I’m on lunch break since I work up the street, so time is of the essence in this case. I’ve also dealt with getting the wrong item, missing item. Would just love if one time, everything comes out right. Their food is really good though and that’s the only reason I would come back but I am hoping that they work on management and customer service aspect. I would suggest trying them though since food is good.

I have a gluten allergy and the staff were so kind and helpful. The man working changed his gloves for me and was so kind taking my order. I just took one star off because if I’m spending $15 for a bowl I’d like to have more rice and protein but other than that very good.

Danielle Perrotta

🫶YUM for gluten-free options - I go there when I crave waffles or pancakes. 💛Chris and the staff are incredibly kind and greet us warmly whenever we visit. This was the 1st place we went to when restaurants started opening and 4 years later, it’s the place my kids still ask for when we go out to eat. ⭐️As a mom of children with varying degrees of neurodivergent children, we feel so safe and welcomed. Go check them out - great for families and plenty of seating inside and out!

GiGibee

Very accommodating for gluten-free and vegan. The food is very tasty and the owner is friendly and helpful. Will come back

Kara Zuleg

We came here for a lunch as a walk-in and were immediately seated. The interior is nicely decorated, and the food was fresh. We both had the lunch special for an app and entree. A healthy option with gluten-free and dairy-free options.

LP Platow

Five stars all around. The gluten free wraps are deceiving good. They don’t taste gluten free, but I assure you, they are! The back patio is cool and comfortable. You’re sitting at a beach dune without being on the sand. Five stars specifically for Kaylee. She is always helpful and just one of the kindest souls on the boardwalk. It’s always good to say hello to her, season after season. Thanks again for a fantastic afternoon.

Denise D

The food quality is excellent as well as the presentation. Our server, Stephen, is always accommodating and polite. I have tried a few different dishes and the combination of flavors is amazing. I love the gnocchi and Lemon platter! The desserts are to die for. They also have a gluten-free menu, but make sure you question the items because an item on that menu wasn't gluten-free. All in all - outstanding.

Carrie Curry

We had dinner her for my best friends bridesmaid dinner. I have celiac and the food was amazing. i’m extremely sensitive and I did not get gluten. we are looking forward to dining here again. Thank you so much. ❤️

Jackie Ferro

The Jefferson diner is nostalgic and fun. They have many gluten free choices and their food is delicious. I visit them often.

Catherine Cummings

Nice spacious location with plenty of indoor seating. Very clean, both tables and bathrooms. Staff was very helpful! Plenty of Gluten Free options, though you should reference their menu as there are so many options. Convenient to the Exchange Place PATH station and neighboring offices.

Laura Labadia

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!

Jessica Valiente

I came across this place in Fidelity Plaza, which has a lot of places to eat, when I was looking for a place to grab lunch. I had never heard the name before (apparently, there are a few of these), but I love Middle Eastern food, so I checked it out. I have celiac disease, so I checked there website. Almost everything is gluten free (more on that in moment). It's the kind of place where you opt for a bowl, wrap, or pita, then you choose your base, protein, grains, veggies, toppings, sauce. I got a bowl, of course. Everything is very good, and the service was very friendly. In fact, my server kindly told me that the falafel (labeled gf) and anything else fried goes in the same fryer as the pita chips, and showed what was prepared on the grill instead. Saved me a very unpleasant afternoon. The location is quiet and a lot of chrome and linoleum, but it's very clean.

Missy Bravo

We found this gem after showing up to another restaurant where we had birthday reservations for my husband to find it closed. A quick google search led us to Koy Grill and we are so grateful. The food was so delicious, the ambience was cozy and our server Mo was so friendly and attentive, as were the other staff. .such a surprising find in a little plaza that I have driven past many times not knowing what a find it is. 10/10 highly recommend and we are ready to go back with more of our fam. Also the menu shows what is vegan and gluten free as well as other designations. Plenty of options for someone like me who has so many restrictions.

Khushi Shah

Beautiful seating setup with delicious food. Vegetarian ,Vegan and Gluten Free options.

Danielle Petrucci

Excellent food and service!!!! Delicious sauces and great gluten free options! Our server Toni was so kind and helpful amazing !!!

jen sluyk

Truly a wonderful experience! My husband and I were due for a date night and we like to try new places and REYLA has been on our list for a while. I decided to make a reservation at the chefs table which was an amazing decision! At first we weren’t sure what this entailed but Chef Anthony helped us along the way on what we should try, he took my gluten allergy seriously and truly an exceptional experience. The level of flavor and creativity in the food was beyond delicious, you could taste the love they put into their meals. We truthfully travel outside of NJ to get this level of flavor and accessibility to allergy friendly restaurants. Majority of their menu is gluten free, they have vegetarian options marked, as well. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy another fantastic meal and experience by Chef Anthony and his team!

Jackie Finnegan

Great appetizers! And the widest range of gluten free food I’ve seen at a restaurant. All flour used in dishes is gluten free! Finally fried calamari again!!! I’ll be back !

Parth Patel

Such a great menu with many options, including extensive options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. Everything I prepared fresh (you can hear them blend the tomatoes for marinara). I'm a big fan of them having whole wheat pasta as an option as well. We've come here several times and will keep coming back in the future.

Thapki Purab

Excellent service! Gluten free and dairy free options!

Franky S

Been ordering/stopping in for a while because it offers great food and has gluten free options which I require. Would have made it 5 stars but the prices have been steadily increased to what I consider an insane degree and now I can't afford to, and wont order moving forward. If you look back at user shared photos of their menu you will see what I mean. Inflation is one thing, but passing the buck to the consumer to bolster or increase profit margin isn't something I can tolerate. Perhaps the ultra rich in Closter can afford to keep this place afloat but the rest of us live in reality. Shame.

Bridget Davis

Great vegan and gluten free options. Love the falafel gyro.

Bob Marks

Food was excellent. A big place and very busy. Orders can take a while. Accommodated my Gluten allergy.

Kathryn Fink

Not a lot of options for gluten free. But the gluten free pasta was really good.

Carolyn Fenton

Hubby loved the bread, we both enjoyed the grilled octopus and the seafood risotto once we added broccoli rabe. Gluten-free cheesecake made me very happy. Service was slow and it was loud. We will be back!

Patrick Devlin

The falafel and kababs here are wonderful. They are consistently delicious. We usually get combo plates which come with pita bread on the side. My wife eats gluten free and has never had any problems with a combo plate at Mamoun's. She loves the mint lemonade too. There is very little seating, so it is better for take out at peak hours.

Stephanie Tosadori

Food is always delicious. Large servings. Staff is super friendly and also knowledgeable and helpful when we asked questions because my husband is gluten free (not celiac)

Lea Direnzo

Ricky our server was the Best! Great food, healthy and gluten free options. Delish! Atmosphere was great! Highly Recommend 👍

Erin Koester

Beautiful atmosphere with amazing service and options for gluten free. My waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to confidently give recommendations, both on standard fair and what could be made gluten free. A perfect place to bring a date or a business client.

Zimanie Richards (Zimmii)

Amazing food, awesome staff, everything is so tasty and freshly made. Amazing it's authentic Greek food an explosion of Greek culture on your taste buds. They also serve gluten free food you can get anything gluten free on a wrap or a gluten free salad with chicken or tuna.

Felicia Lohnes

💖Love there menu and when they heard I was celiac they accommodated me. Everyone was very polite and food came out quickly 💃💜

Miriam Diamant

Mamouns Falafel is a classic spot for delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. I personally loved the Vegan and Gluten Free options. I did not like the Babaghanoush, it tasted like a Hummus/Tahini paste and had absolutely no taste of eggplant. Other then that the portion sizes are good, and I enjoyed the rest of food. The place is clean and has a homey, rustic vibe. They do not have parking just paid metered street parking.

Sherryl

My previous experience here was great. I brought my mom for lunch. This time I brought my mom and 2 kids , one of my kids is on a gluten free diet due to celiac. She ordered a gluten free pasta and when she got it there was a piece of pasta shell with. My 11 daughter said oh my there a cross contamination on my food. I didn't think much of it till we got home because she had a diarrhea. I be gone to other olive garden before with my kids in Massachusetts and that location they were well educated with cross contamination.

Steven Ramnarine

We ordered from the gluten free menu notified employees of my girlfriend's Celiac disease. After eating, her nose started bleeding before we even got back to the car and started vomiting back at the house. Not sure if the kitchen is able to prevent cross-contamination.

Sylvia Striano

Gluten free pasta is great.

bklyn11217

The food is typical of your everyday Olive Garden, what differentiates this restaurant was the service. Our server, I believe her name was Jen A., was wonderful. We had very specific needs, both my husband and son don't eat gluten. And she removed the noodles from his minestrone soup to accommodate his dietary restriction. The manager towards the end of our meal came around to check in on us. I felt like they were making sure that we knew that our patronage was appreciated.

Kathy Fritz

By far, the best restaurant we tried on our first trip to NJ. After being disappointed by a few other highly rated places, La Cucina delighted us! The food is fresh, the service friendly, and the Dream Bomba a must for dessert! They are happy to make gluten free accommodations as well. We ended up there 3 nights for dinner!

Diamond Sword

We ordered: classic gyro pita California burger Royal burger Cheesesteak hoagie with gluten free wrap Burgers come with fries. Fries were so delicious. Cheesesteak hoagie was awesome. My family and me liked it. Thank you 😊

Jess P

My family and I love eating here both for breakfast and dinner!!! I love that there are gluten free options for my daughter (who has celiacs). She loves the gluten free French toast and for dinner, the hot dogs on gluten free bun and baked potato. I love the sandwich’s and wraps! Especially this Milano sandwich which is Ceaser dressing, bruschetta and steak! The fries are delicious . We are always happy with our meal.

Alvin Garcia

Loving the food from wonder! Fine dining at the speed of fast food ! There’s so many menus to choose an order from. Gluten free items and vegetarian friendly items! Will be coming back very soon.

Catherine Cummings

Great atmosphere and service! Very friendly staff with upscale food/drink choices. Have several gluten free options in both appetizers and meals. When I went all the sides were gluten free!
