Julie Tippets

GF baked goods, delicious safe GF options.

Breannah Bobo

Best Lebanese food in the world! Can’t get enough. And great prices. They have gluten free bread!

Bethany C

Everything is tasty and consistent. Lots of gluten free, dairy free or vegan options. Love the Arabian Mezza and Chicken thigh kabobs.

Paul Schtezel

First time trying Egyptian food. Went with my wife and son, who are both gluten free. We all ordered different meals and enjoyed them a lot. It tasted homemade with quality ingredients. Different spices and flavors were delicious, but not overpowering. If you value good quality food, you won’t regret.

Nick Dupont

They advertise that they have gluten free pita bread. That's a lie

Colin Mosgrove

Holy shit. Service - amazing. Atmosphere - so warm, inviting, and community oriented. THE FOOD? Blew my mind. The GLUTEN FREE BAKLAVA? I transcended the boundaries of my physical body when I took my first bite. I am now changed forever

Savannah Johnson

This place is delicious and comfortable. The tables are well spaced so you dont feel squished. They have gluten free pita bread and are accommodating to celiacs they will make sure everything is clean before they cook to avoid cross contamination. Not to mention the inside decor is cute. 10/10 thanks for providing my first gluten free gyro, I haven't had one in 2 years

Faith Purvis

Was in the area and stopped in for a quick bite - and was very impressed! Their stuffed grape leaves and lentil soup are some of the best I’ve ever had. Sooo perfectly flavorful, I felt both the soup and grape leaves had a more nuanced flavor than at many Mediterranean restaurants I have been to. Just delicious. The falafel was darned good too. I am veggie and gluten free and there was plenty for me to choose from on the menu. I will definitely be coming back!

Been going here for YEARS. Food is always wonderful. My recommendation is to come for dinner and not lunch, portions are better. Lamb is always perfect and juicy. AND AS AN ENORMOUS BONUS, best GLUTEN FREE PITA EVER. seriously divine. even non GF people find it great… I have to fend them off! The food in Portland is great, with so much verity and new exciting places popping up all the time, but Nicholas will always rank in my personal favorites.

Terry Harper

Always a good meal at Olive garden. I wish they had more gluten free items to choose from.

Marie T

A lovely little place, hours are reasonable. About a 14 minute drive from IKEA. They have been pretty good about making the food gluten free.

Michelle Hamilton

I ordered a veggie platter which had tabouli, 2 falafels, hummus, 2 dolmas, and tzatziki sauce. I added a gluten free naan which I had before and it had been good. This time the naan was hard. I took it back to the counter and he had the waitress bring another one to me. It was more chewy than the last time I had it on a previous visit, chewy almost hard but not as hard as the first that one they served. No one came back to check and see if it was ok. The food was ok other than that, not as flavorful as other places I’ve eaten

Ashli Quintela

Lydia was our server tonight and she took such great care of us, we felt like we were her own kids the way we were chatting it up tonight. She is so personable and fun. The food was spectacular! Nearly everything on this menu is actually gluten free and I was unafraid to eat 90% of this menu! Gorgeous restaurant and actually used to be a speakeasy within the area. Expand your pallet and give the Lebanese tour a chance, it’s a little bit of everything and really gives you the chance to taste it all. Really was the perfect meal for two to share and fills you up. Make sure to mention if you do have a gluten allergy as they can provide you with pita chips so you’re still included in having a dipping item for all the great sauces you will endure. Definitely will be back.

Ali Cannon

Great restaurant! Their fryer is dedicated gluten free so most of their menu can be made gf. Had the vegetable cheese quiche and some fried chicken! So good! Lovely kid + pet friendly patio. Great shady spot to escape the heat

Natalia Chang

Food was delicious, service was attentive, helpful, knowledgeable and lovely to interact with! They expertly handled my food restrictions (gluten free and no starches/substitute veggies). We ordered the Greek salad and each had the special, which was a filet of branzino with potatoes and roasted veggies (mine was a huge pile of perfectly sautéed spinach with onions and almonds, topped with roasted mixed veggies) in a lemon caper sauce. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area where we have access to delicious food and this was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I will be back the next time I’m in Portland. So delicious!

Melissa Mattson

Really good food and huge portions! Great bang for your buck. Almost everything is gluten free.

Gabriela

I had a fantastic lunch here over the weekend! I have celiac, and was delighted to learn that everything on the menu except the pita and the baklava was gluten free. We tried the falafel rice platter and the hummus with veggies instead of pita. Both were delicious and so flavorful! The owner was really friendly as well. I look forward to coming back!

Les Valsquier

Wonderful Mediterranean cuisine. Lunch time Buffet is a spectacular deal, and most dishes are gluten-free, many also vegan. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, clean, and nicely appointed. The staff is also warm, friendly, very professional, and obviously invested in customer's enjoyment of their lovingly crafted food. Make certain to order the coffee and baklava. Well run establishment, I highly recommend!

Amber Throssel

Great food, meat veggie vegan and gluten free options. Great service and atmosphere. Must try.

Ren Prince

I'd give more stars if I could! The staff was very kind, the restaurant was cute, and the food was absolutely incredible. I have celiac disease but there were tons of gluten free options (the gf pita was divine). I also accidentally left my phone in the booth after dinner, but they went out of their way to catch up to me and make sure I didn't leave it behind. A wonderful experience and I will definitely be back.

Melissa Wear

This is one of my favorite restaurants! They have a hugr variety of gluten free and dairy free options. They are knowledgeable about the menu and willing to modify dishes, when possible, to meet my dietary restrictions.

Lauren Wylie

Great catering! Had a fantastic experience catering a dinner for 70 staff and it was delivered. Delivery was ontime and they did all the set up! I needed t have Gluten free & vegetarian options and they had a great variety for the staffs dietary needs. The manager Angela was great to deal with and had great customer service. If you need to feed a lot of people that is affordable - this is the place! Great food & customer service!

Mark Rafter

There is a reason these restaurants are consistently popular. Excellent food options and soup, salad and bread sticks that are worth the trip alone. Even the gluten free pasta is a notch above.

Rene Parsons

Our waiter in the dining area was lacking in skills. Our salad bowl was empty for a long time and was suppose to be all you could eat. No gluten free options, sadly.

Mel

Sooo good! Loved everything we got, but the hummus was my fave. They do sauces really well here. They were able to accommodate celiac (gluten allergy) very easily which I really appreciated. For a tapas place I feel like the portions were really good.

V Lau Gautam

We ALWAYS love dining here. They were training today, but were impeccable with the service--especially with 7 of us. It's also been years since we ate at Olive Garden & I was pleasantly surprised that they offered gluten free rotini these days! 10/10 (I knocked off a star due to one time getting food poisoning after eating a tiramisu at this location)

Cyan Gleason

10/10! Love the clearly labeled vegan & gluten-free options, comforted my soul! Very kind staff as well

Anika Laurie

They can do gluten free pitas! I got the donair on a gluten free pita and it was fantastic. And the fries are also gluten free and came out super hot and crispy

Teru Stalcup

The food was great! They have gluten free options! The price for dinner was great with plenty of leftover food. The garlic sauce is legit. Be prepared for death breath.

Sarah Archuleta

We had truly one of the worst customer service experiences ever at this place. We had the rudest waitress. Our large party called ahead of time to request to go over the normal allowed limit. Our request was approved but the waitress who had us was PISSED at our table size despite us being kind customers. She scoffed at two of us for asking for gluten free options. At the end, our group organizer asked her if we had upset her and she said “ACTUALLY yes, you are breaking our table size rule” and went off about it, then told us she wouldn’t continue taking care of us and we had a switch off of servers. The whole table was appalled. We ordered plenty of dishes with a large check and were friendly. Our two families will never recommend this place because of this waitress

Lauren Lo Bue

This food is phenomenal. It’s the best Middle Eastern food I’ve had. I’ve been here three times. They make gluten free pita, too, which is such a treat for me!! It’s really yummy. Being able to have a shawarma wrap in pita for the first time in years is amazing. The lamb shank dish was so flavorful and complex, I couldn’t stop eating it even after I was beyond full. The lamb fell off the bone and the broth was so rich, such perfectly balanced sour and salt and a touch of umami. Even the salad is incredible flavorful.

Lori Albright

Gluten free wrap! I will be here often!!

Maryann Spady

Lots of gluten free options. I love their hummus. So good and they bring veggies instead if the bread when you order it gluten free

Sharon Tyler

I have been here twice in the last week, prior to this I had never tried it. I am hooked! And the ladies working, you rock! I get the gluten free wrap and it is phenomenal.

R W

This place ROCKS! The food is always delicious, the service is wonderful, and it's a beautiful little restaurant to boot! Great gluten-free options!

Daniel Aronow

Ordered gluten free roting pasta, came out less than half a plate full. This isn't the only time that this has happened.

Camillia de la Garza

Lovely as always. Great wine. Great for sharing. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options.

Nathan Hale

We love getting Hush Hush for team lunches! My team has several vegans, a pescatarian, someone who is gluten free, and another who is lactose intolerant. Finding a place to eat together can be challenging. Hush Hush had amazing food for everyone. Also, the folks working there are super nice and fast!

Rachael Liddell

We came on a busy Friday night and sat at the bar, we asked for recommendations and the bartender gave us options. We went with the steak & lamb kabobs, and it was the best steak I’ve ever had. I have a gluten allergy and he was very attentive to me. He even offered vegetables instead of pita bread with our appetizer. The staff works hard and it shows, I highly recommend! Try the falafel if you are gluten free, it was amazing.

Elyse Douglas

Very cute spot! The space has a great relaxed vibe & service was top notch. They have gluten free options which is why we drove from Grants Pass to check it out.

Karasi Mills

Oh my gosh, I used them for catering for a group of about 35 people. It was so much more food than I had even hoped for, they were on time and delivered it to our meeting space. Multiple people told me it was the best conference food they had ever had. I will *always* use them for future meetings, and I know at least two people who attended my conference used them for catering already! I can’t wait to try a meal at their restaurant. The best Mediterranean food ever, and lots of gluten free and vegetarian options, too!

Joca

First time at Cafe Agora and everything was delicious! Customer service was great, food came out quick also! I really appreciate that they offer gluten free/vegan options too. Will definitely be back! :)

Breazy Wirth

Rom’s has everything! Gluten-free, vegan, lavender lemonade, lamb gyros, burgers, the best garlic fries you’ve ever had in your life. The whole family can find something to eat here. Everything is impeccable. I’ve eaten here many times and never had any issues with anything. Our whole family gives her five stars and it’s really hard for us to agree on a place to go.

Joanna Brook

We arrived early on Saturday night without a reservation and were graciously and immediately served at the bar. The meal was perfectly cooked and completely delicious. The kitchen was able to accommodate my tomato allergy. It was fun to watch the bartender make all the pretty drinks. Romantic last minute choice. The only thing I would change would be to have a chocolate gluten-free dessert option. Thank you. We’ll be back.

Crista Lawson

I’m new to Eugene and gluten free, so I have yet to discover the best eats in town. Generally I haven’t been impressed, but the food here was AMAZING! I should have snapped a photo before digging in, but alas my delicious half-eaten meal. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about — a little crowded and a small indoor seating area with a larger sunroom/patio. I sat in the patio area, but it was a little “lonely” feeling and I wish they had more seating inside. They should at least put some speakers out there to carry the music and personality through. Overall, I highly recommend Tradewinds for the food — best I’ve tried in the area so far!!!

Jessica Bengtson

Better than the tapas I had in Spain! Highly recommend ordering whatever the server recommends. Everything was flavored to perfection, there were so many gluten free options, and the atmosphere is so eclectic and cute. This was the best restaurant in Newport that I’ve been to!

Jennifer Secord

I absolutely can not say enough good things about this restaurant!! I loved every bit of it. It feels nice and up scale as you walk in. Perfect for a nice date night. It has a beautiful blue mix tile floor with a dim lighting but is cozy but still had enough light to talk with my husband and read the menu. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and specials. I informed her that I was gluten-free. She gave me a lovely recommendation of sparkling wine to pear with my pork. The food is full of flavor. My husband and I ordered a little bit of everything, and every dish was more lovely than the next. We will most definitely be back! Thank you for everything ❤️
