Our waitress was Frances. She was very charismatic and very knowledgeable about gluten free foods. My wife has celiac disease and this her greatest concern when it comes to trying a new food location. It was an amazing experience!

Sanskriti Kant

This cafe is located in Reston near the lake having beautiful view. The ambience is pretty Greek and happy. You can order food from there and enjoy either inside or outside with the beautiful lake view. The pizza was brick oven cooked and was so tasty. They used fresh mozzarella. They have vegan and gluten friendly options too. The staff it’s so friendly. We also had panini that came with chips and pickled cucumber. Its was also nice. They have spicy sauce ketchup and other seasoning too you can use

My friend's and I eat at The Cellar frequently, because for the most part we know that the Food will be good. It is also one of the few places that my friend can eat because she has corn and gluten allergies. I have beef and pork allergies, so I appreciate having a lot of options on the menu. The service can be slow at times, but the servers are always kind. So I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I had dinner at True Food and it was excellent. Lots of menu variety for gluten free and vegan individuals. Our meatloaf (non gluten free) and burger were tasty, prepared exactly the way we requested. The service and ambience was outstanding. When you go, ask for Fernanda to be your waitress. She’s very customer oriented and kind. Emerson the Manager brought out our food and was very professional and helpful. True Food is a great place to eat!

My family had a really wonderful experience. We were a large party celebrating a birthday and everything was great. From the food to the service to the atmosphere. We're looking forward to returning for our next special event. Oh and every dish that was ordered was delicious. We had a mixed group of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and omnivore and everyone was happy with their meal.

Margaret Perry

My favorite restaurant in Roanoke. Lots of options are naturally vegan, gluten free or both! They are all over-the-top delicious. You get to choose how spicy you want it, so if you have people in your party that don’t like spicy-hot, no problem. If you like it to blister your mouth with spice, that’s not a problem either.

Airus Copeland

The owner, David, was very friendly and accommodating. I am celiac and he assured me that 95% of the menu is gluten free. He offered up additional information on labeling to assure me. I told him I was semi hungry and he recommended the salmon kabobs. It came with two different sauces and rice with a salad. It was fresh and delicious. I will be a new “usual” customer now!

Jessica Ashworth

Excellent food, lots of gluten free and vegetarian/ vegan options! Will definitely return! Lazarus was a great server, very attentive and professional!

Is there a perfect restaurant? This is as close as I've seen. The food is incredible, the atmosphere amazing, and the entire staff was very friendly. This is a habit forming restaurant. Their gluten free menu has a wide variety of delicious items.

Zach Pittinger

This was our first time and we really enjoyed the food. Health conscious and gluten free options. The cheese dip was awesome. Elizabeth P took great care of us. Warm, attentive, and made great recommendations. She also gave us a free appetizer on our next visit. Highly recommend!

Great restaurant with good gluten free options!

This is one of the best restaurants in Falls Church and one that I frequent a lot with family and friends alike. I have never had a bad meal at Fava Pot and have been for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - their breakfast is particularly good! Their food is consistently fresh and tastes truly home-made (in the best way). I think I could eat their fava beans or falafel every day of my life and never get tired. The staff is always so friendly! I recently had a catered family-style event from Fava Pot and everyone loved it! Dina (the owner) called me and walked through how much food she thought we needed. We needed gluten-free food due to guests with Celiac and I was blown away with how much care and attention was given towards making sure the food was labeled and Celiac-safe. The catering process was easy and the food was presented beautifully. I would definitely recommend Fava Pot if you are considering them for catering your next event, or just want an amazing meal!

Cafesano serves up Mediterranean and Italian food and has options for vegetarian and gluten free food options. This is more of a fast food style place where you order, grab any available table and the food will be brought to your table by the server. Not knowing the place was this style, I had called them couple times in attempt to make reservations but no one called back at all - would have been great customer service to call back and inform no reservations was needed. The place looked good and food was fine. I got the falafel wrap with side salad, which was ok. My friends had a gluten free wrap, and a pasta dish and bruschetta.

Bekah Hope

Food and service is always fantastic! They accommodate my needs to be gluten-free with ease! This is my new go-to for takeout. Will definitely be back again and again… just wish I could tip them - they don’t have any way to tip employees, whether digital or cash.

Kirsten Otterby

Our waiter Aziz was very attentive and was helpful when I told him I couldn't have dairy or gluten. They have almond yogurt so they can make certain dishes dairy free/vegan. The food was delicious and flavorful. Highly recommend!!

I will never be able to put into words how special this place is to me. There are very few places my husband and I can eat at together between my husband having diet restrictions and myself being vegetarian and this is both of our favorite. Best gluten free pizza and spanakopita by far! This family is so sweet and hardworking, they truly deserve the business too. The food has that cooked with love taste and it's all amazing. Neither my husband nor myself have had anything bad from here. I will never eat a tomato basil or gazpacho soup from anywhere else because in comparison, it will always be a disappointment. The mac and cheese here is certainly a hidden gem too. It's on the kids menu and with no shame, I order it for myself. Lol! We both love the hummus as well and as if this review isn't long enough already, don't get me started on desserts. They're all amazing! The lemon berry cake is one of the best desserts I've had in life and I've had my fair share of sweets (my mom bakes a lot too). I could go on and on (nothing bad). Just go/ order, your taste buds will thank you.

The pita bread for appetizers was light and soft. Hummus trio was perfect, especially the spicy hummus. Kibbeh was very filling so maybe don't order it if you plan to order a full entree as well. I especially enjoyed my mouzat (slow cooked lamb leg with spiced rice). It was a lovely meal. Great service, the place is huge so there were many available seats, good food. They have lots of vegetarian and gluten free options. Highly recommended.

K Gibbs

Accommodating and good atmosphere! The staff was knowledgeable and provided substitutes for menu item so that we felt comfortable.

Elizabeth Jane Addington

Cannot speak more highly of Mejana. Ordered from them for my office’s staff lunch and there were options for everyone: vegetarian, gluten free, and meat. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. Staff is incredibly kind. Ordered from Grubhub for delivery, delivery was never confirmed by the 3rd party service, called the restaurant and they immediately said, “no worries, we will get to cooking and wait for the order to come in and call you when the order comes through and if a driver was assigned.” Mind you, this was Grubhub’s fault, not the restaurant! The hostess asked me to text them my order and texted me when it was ready since Grubhub wasn’t communicating with me. You can’t beat this kind of customer service. Love supporting this local, small-biz!

A very delicious lunch today. The food was great. I like the gluten free options, would love if they can bring in a gluten free bun for the lamb burger. O'doughs has an excellent sandwich bun, taste the most like real bread. It's kept in the freezer (wont spoil) for toasting. Hint! Hint! I appreciate that you offer great food at affordable prices. Everything was fresh. We will be back!! That's a promise.

We love Cava. My kids are gluten intolerant so they live eating the rice bowl.

Afternoon Tea at Mazadar is a wonderful, delicious experience!! Ida provided warm hospitality to me and my mom and sister, with a beautiful and abundant spread of sandwiches, fruits, veggies, cheese, and more. The dips, served with pita, were tasty and unique. The homemade scones and jam were phenomenal!! We enjoyed a pot of their house-mixed black tea and then the honey ginger lemon tea - both wonderful! The ambiance at Mazadar is also comfortable and charming. I was especially impressed and grateful that Ida was able to adjust the menu for my sister’s gluten free and dairy free diet, providing her with a plate of GF / DF sandwiches so she could enjoy the experience equally with no concern about the menu. Ida was so kind and wonderful to work with in booking the reservation and hosting our tea party. We will definitely come back!! Hopefully for another tea party but I would also love to try the regular dining at Mazadar as well.

Our recent visit to Olive Garden was a delightful experience from start to finish! Erin, our server, was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. The famous Olive Garden breadsticks? Fresh, warm, and baked to absolute perfection – they didn’t last long on our table! What truly stood out was how well Olive Garden catered to a gluten sensitivity at our table. They took special care to ensure that our friend had safe, delicious options, which really speaks to their commitment to customer care. The food was delicious all around. We had a variety of dishes, including the ravioli, lasagna, mushroom pasta, and of course, the classic soup and salad. Everything was cooked beautifully, with flavors that felt like pure comfort. Ruthie, the evening manager, also made an impression by ensuring the restaurant was spotless, which added to the overall relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. All in all, a fantastic evening with great service, wonderful food, and a warm ambiance. We will definitely be back!

Karen Dawson

It would much better if there were more gluten-free options. Way too limited.
