True Food Kitchen was a refreshing and delicious surprise during our visit to Easton Town Center. In the middle of all the classic American comfort food spots, this place stands out as a healthy and flavorful alternative—and it doesn’t sacrifice taste one bit. The menu is packed with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, which is perfect for anyone with dietary preferences or restrictions. Even as someone who usually leans toward meat-heavy and indulgent meals, I was seriously impressed. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. It didn’t feel like “health food”—it just felt like great food. The atmosphere was bright, modern, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to make recommendations based on what we were in the mood for, and everything came out quickly and perfectly prepared. True Food Kitchen is a gem in Easton—whether you’re a dedicated healthy eater or just want to try something different that still hits the spot. I’ll definitely be back, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a guilt-free but truly satisfying meal.

I always have a great experience. They have a lot gluten free offerings and very knowledgeable having dedicated gluten free appliances. Though I have my go meal. You can have something different every day of the week if not more.

We found this place on a whim and it is the cutest little lunch or meeting spot. The service was good and the menu had many gluten-free options which was needed for one of my family members. The smoothie was very thin and unsweetened but the Naan wrap and hot cocoa were delightful. Will come back and try a different item.

Well, howdy y’all, lemme mosey on and tell ya ‘bout this Aladdin’s Eatery in West Chester—it’s a rootin’-tootin’ gem! I sauntered in, and tarnation, it’s like steppin’ into a cozy ol’ saloon with a fancy Lebanese twist. They got a spread wider’n the plains—over 40 vegetarian dishes, 30 vegan, 40 gluten-free, and plenty o’ meat fer the carnivores. Somethin’ fer every cowpoke under the sun! I kicked things off with the hummus—smooth as a desert sunset, fresher’n a spring mornin’, topped with olive oil slicker’n a greased saddle. Then I wrangled me a Beef Kafta Rolled—grilled just right, tucked in a pita with tahini yogurt that’d make a steer kick up its heels! The tabouli? Zesty as a buckin’ bronco, with parsley and lemon ridin’ together like partners on the trail. And them smoothies—tried the Tropical Storm, and I reckon it’s sweeter’n a tumbleweed breeze! The folks workin’ there? Friendlier’n a campfire chat, quick as a rattlesnake too! Place is cleaner’n a freshly scrubbed chuck wagon, vibes are finer’n a fiddle tune, and the prices won’t leave ya skint—worth every darn dime. Aladdin’s Eatery in West Chester’s my new stompin’ ground. Five stars, partner—saddle up and git yerself there pronto!

Really poor experience here. Not enough training on gluten intolerance, my plate was cross contaminated and the wait was insanely long. Then we get home and my daughter starts puking. Overall not impressed. The manager offered me a gift card but I seriously doubt that I will ever go back.

Fast and friendly staff make a casual dining experience top notch. The food is always good and they have gluten free options.

Zhug oozes warmth and class, and is probably my favorite of Doug Katz's restaurant ventures. Like his other recent restaurants, it's best enjoyed as a tapas adventure with friends. Unlike his other ventures, they unfortunately are too cool for reservations. There's usually a couple spots open at the bar for the taking, but come with any more than 4 people and your wait on a busy night may be upwards of an hour. If you're lucky, you can find street parking in front on Cedar (free since COVID days), or park in the old Dave's grocery lot across the street (also free). The dim lighting allows candlelight, plush pillows, and verdant greenery to dominate the atmosphere. The staff are entirely the opposite of the standoffish lot you might imagine would work here - every person we've encountered has been friendly and incredibly accommodating. Also accommodating is the menu, which is vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan friendly. Although they do have high chairs and children are welcome, it's not an ideal place to bring little rowdy ones since there's quite a bit of glassware and candles, not to mention tight quarters. Two gender-neutral bathrooms are located at the back and kept in orderly condition. Be prepared to get lost in the sauce, because there are a lot of sauces and dips. A satisfying order usually consists of about 2-3 dishes per person. The usual culprits on our group's order are the Nigella Seed and Burnt Onion Hummus - paired with the complimentary pita bread, and a little dollop of their complimentary zhug (a spicy green Yemeni sauce), this provides a cozy foundation for your stomach as you await the rest of the food. Cauliflower, Roasted Carrots, and Potato Tostones are other delightful, textured bites to get your fiber in and fill up. Protein wise, I'm a huge fan of the Crispy Chicken and its brightly seasoned dipping sauce, as well as the Warm White Beans (more pleasurable than the plain name would suggest) and plump Butter Roasted Shrimp. Their wine and cocktail menu is tastefully curated, but I've actually never made it to the desserts since we're usually so stuffed after the savory dishes.

We were visiting family from out of town, and I picked this place to eat, as we had vegetarians, as well as dairy and gluten free people, and this place seemed to cater to everyone! The food was SOOOOOOOOO good!! I don't know what they put in the garlic sauce but I need the recipe ASAP, it's so good!!! My kids are picky, so a grilled cheese not on good ol' American white sandwich bread was a no go, but after a small hunger strike, she ate it and liked it! Spicy Cauliflower is a MUST, hummus plate was amazing, falafels were so good!!

Had an incredible experience here with high-quality food and service! They gracefully accommodated our large group (including seven kids!). Despite our dietary restrictions (gluten/dairy), we had numerous menu choices for appetizers, dinner, drinks, and desserts. The servers were so kind and hospitable and put together a big table for us. We felt very welcomed and would be thrilled to eat here again.

Jeff Lin

Delicious food. Good gluten-free options too.

Caryn Bazemore

Love all the tasty gluten free options! Especially the flourless chocolate cake!

I have been to this Aladdin’s many times but my most recent experience was with an online order. We placed an order using the website and I went to pick it up, and upon returning home I discovered that the pint of Len-Chili soup I ordered had chicken in it. After double checking our order receipt to be sure we ordered it without any chicken, I called the store to request a refund. They were quick to get the manager on the phone and she was happy to issue a refund. I then decided to mention that I was pretty bummed, because I am vegan and this was my first dinner after a 5 day fast and I was so excited for this soup. It isn’t in my nature to have shared all that, but I felt compelled to share that even though this order item was wrong, it wasn’t going to be eaten and I didn’t want to drive back to the store to pick up a replacement. The manager I was speaking to, Kelly, insisted that she would drive over a new soup to me, without chicken. I told her it wasn’t necessary, I just wanted her to know. She was persistent and because I really was looking forward to that soup, I agreed. She showed up shortly after with a full quart of Len-Chili (no chicken) and it was AMAZING. I am a long time patron of all the Aladdin’s restaurants, but this service from the Middleburg Heights location was truly ABOVE and BEYOND. I am grateful for the amazing food, the variety of vegan and gluten free options, and the incredible team of people working at Aladdin’s to ensure that everyone has an incredible experience. Thank you!

Stopped in while driving through for lunch. The mint tea is so good! Great gluten free options. Enjoyed the lentil soup (husband had the chili and liked it) plus an entree. Food was fresh and tasted good. Would return if in area again.

Cynthia Werle

Wonderful food, especially the gluten free selections

Ordered by DoorDash so only reviewing food. The menu has great food sensitivity information and A LOT of gluten-free options. The online menu can be filtered by vegan, vegetarian, nut free, or gluten free. The food was fresh and delicious. I got the Len-Chili which had wonderfully complex flavors, but wasn't as spicy as I would expect something that is 1/2 chili to be. (which is preferable for me) The falafel was tasty and not dry, but mine didn't come with any tomato slices. The tahini lemon dressing was a perfect compliment to them. The Chocolate Mini dessert was tasty, but the frosting was completely stuck to the wrap and made it messy to eat. I look forward to being back in the area and trying other items from the menu!

Louis Charles

My wife and I love to eat at Aladdin. We get vegetarian options such as the sampler platter appetizer with grape leaves, falafel, hummus, tabouli, etc. We also have dessert here too because they often have gluten free cookies.

Emily Miller

A great place to eat! They have gluten-free options! Very good food!

Dominic Obhof

Joshua & Sarah Lee

Very gluten free friendly and delicious! Definitely appreciated the help with the gluten free selection. Delicious lamb and meat sampler. Really liked the pickled turnips and flavorful sauces!

Shelby Edwards

Really small but cute interior with delicious pizza! I've never had gluten free pizza taste this good AND I wasn't glutened!!!

Mark Clark

Secret soup, Gluten classico, and Unlimited stick! Olive Garden, when you're here, you're here. What can I say? It's exactly what you expect.

John Chicots

Really good healthy food. Very attentive to my gluten free needs. Giant wine selection! The staff was super friendly and helpful.

AmberLynn Dunn

This is one of my FAVORITE places to eat! I can't have gluten so eating out can be difficult but I never have to worry here! Plus the food is absolutely delicious!!

Rachel Rasmussen

Solid experience. Great food. Consistent. Does some gluten free options (except the naan). I don't usually bother with rice, but that rice was...I don't know. I kept going back for more. Couldn't get enough of it. Seems weird to gush about rice, when it was just normal rice, but it made me happy.

Our service was fantastic. One person in our needed gluten free alternatives. The manager & staff was very helpful and accommodating with our groups needs.

Luz Massera

Food is great, service too fast for me… but the place is very nice. I wish they had gluten free bread options

Their food is sooo good. Its similar to Brassica, but better, in my opinion. They have more choices for toppings/sides. Meats are tender and toppings are fresh. Everything is very flavorful and they have great portion sizes! They are also vegan/gluten-free friendly which is great when you have a group of people to please!

Allie Jania

If you’re celiac- make sure to say no worcestershire sauce. They use it on the grill. I love the team there and the chai is delicious!

Jenny Kirk

Driving through Cleveland looking for healthy lunch options-gluten free. Solid solid Mediterranean bowls. Personable owner. Fast service. Great prices.

We went to cheese school at Astoria! The cheese monger was sooo knowledgeable and energetic. The service was great. They accommodated my gluten free request. A very fun and delicious evening!

Lindsey Somos

Really appreciate that some items are marked gluten free on the menu and prepared with care. Very nice space with pleasant outdoor seating, diverse menu with something for everyone (including kids).

Holly Putnat

Always friendly service and quick enough for a work lunch. They even were able to accommodate a coworker with a gluten allergy! Definitely a go-to when I'm in town.
