My favorite restaurant for gluten free food in Ann Arbor!

Caris Bindus

My first time eating here was over the weekend and I regret not eating here sooner. I have celiac disease and trying new restaurants is scary. When I mentioned that my food and our appetizers needed to be made gluten free, the waiter asked if it was due to celiac disease. I think my face went red from how excited I was. The fact he knew what celiac disease was made my anxiety melt away instantly. We got the pizza appetizer and I got the fettuccine alfredo with chicken. We also got the gluten free bread (which was soft and amazing)! It was the most delicious Italian food I have ever eaten. And it was gluten free! I think this will be our new birthday, anniversary, celebration dining place. The food was amazing and my family loves Italian food. I am ecstatic that I have found a safe, delicious, and gluten free friendly Italian restaurant.

Excellent and crave worthy food. Have separate option for ordering with celiac and have a dedicated fryer.

Jeanna DeMond

One of my favorite places in Ann Arbor. I could have French toast/pancakes/ waffles and be completely fine. Highly recommend

Kellie High

Love this place, this has become our "go to"! Our family members that are local took us here when our daughter was transferring to U of M and we must go back every time I visit. They have yummy gluten free options too! Highly recommended!

Bora Esenler

Refreshing, authentic & quality food. We’ll be regulars here when in town. Definitely better then continental or regular classic breakfast. The products are organic and produce are fresh. They have gluten free options!!!

Elizabeth Rose

I ordered a gluten free cheese pizza to go. The crust was so chewy, my jaw hurt. Toppings were extremely scarce, it was mostly bread.

kelly carmona

They had something for everyone and that was a miracle! We had gluten-free, dairy-free & tree-nutt free. I was amazed! And you honestly couldn't even tell the d

Aimee Winchester

We ordered a gluten free detroit style online, website experience was good. Service when we arrived was great. We have only had gluten free detroit style once before (not in Michigan 😂)and it was amazing so we were excited to find a place near us. The toppings were great we had picked out a Mediterranean. The crust, that was a different story. If someone is looking for a gluten crust I don't recommend this place. The toppings are so good tho that I feel like their regular pizza is probably delicious.

Hannah Becker

They label gluten free on your take out and understand what celiac is. They do make a claim that they can’t confirm 0% risk of cross contact but they take all precautions.

Island Ewert

Service was great! Server was knowledgeable about gluten allergy concerns they walked me through the menu and the appropriate things that could be substituted so I could make a decision. There was more than just salad options. And they even had a dedicated fryer for French fries! I got a side of fries with my chicken and did not have any adverse reactions. I'd recommend when you make a reservation that you indicate any allergies they need to be aware of so they can be prepared and begin with that in mind. I would recommend them! Also it's not explicitly fancy, but definitely a snappy casual or higher kind of place. Plan accordingly!

Bernadette Flynn

First time here. Our server, Hoda, was very personable and knowledgeable about the gluten free options. She even brought out a sample of the sauce to make sure I liked it before ordering the chicken Sajee (Lebanese seared chicken). Oh, and it was fabulous!

Scott Sheridan

I’ve been coming to Ann Arbor for decades and I’m embarrassed to admit this is the time I have come here. Amazing vegan and gluten free dishes and desserts. We can’t wait to come back!

Evan Wylie

As a person with celiac disease this place is great for gluten free options. Dedicated fryer for the house made chips, excellent salsa you can tell is made fresh. The Shredded Beef and Chicken taste great, and the FLAN! Best I’ve ever had and I could come here for that alone. Great place

Grace Su Ming

Food was great! Prices are so affordable and portions good. I Loved the tamales ! I got a pineapple and cheese tamale. The salsas were very flavorful. Staff very kind. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.

Chris Lao

Very consistently good location over here. Always delivers a tasty burger with fresh onions, flavorful bacon and avocado. The burger patties also taste very high quality and are cooked perfectly. My only complaint would be that the burger juices can quickly turn the Gluten-Free bun into mush if not properly insulated. Perhaps putting lettuce under the patty to prevent the juices from pulverizing the bottom bun could help! Even still I will continue to order from this location!

Ben Orlyanchik

Food is very ok. Service was horrible this time. We didn't get bread because we had 2 gluten free people in a party of 8, so the waitress thought we didn't want it even without asking. Also, 2 of the salads ordered did not have the avocado and egg as it said in the menu. Not even that they ran out of ingredients but they just plain out just didn't put some of the 2 main ingredients of the salad. We were there for a birthday and apparently get a free dessert. We asked for a candle and the staff said ok but no candle was brought. We thought they ran out of candles but we saw another party celebrating a birthday with the same dessert with a candle. We talked to the manager and they comped the dessert. Disappointed compared to my previous visit

Kathleen LaTosch

Lovely mid-September late lunch at the 100% vegan street side cafe. Waiter recommended a customer favorite - the Reuben - which was delicious, especially the sauerkraut! He also brought me a complimentary sampler cup of Chana masala soup since it was my first time there. I could have had more - also delicious. Highly recommend and will come back! Lots of gluten free options too.

Emma Mertens

Vertex is the best coffee shop in Ann Arbor. Great atmosphere (so many plants!) friendly knowledgeable staff, all gluten free snacks and lots of vegan options my personal favorite is the brownie! the coffee is delicious and roasted by the owner and they have signature latte flavors for each season which are all so yummy you can get a coffee flight to try multiple. the shop uses sustainable practices like compostables and reusables. I love that its locally owned and so welcoming to community! you can make your drink sparkly with pride and donate money to lgbtq charity. I really won't drink coffee from anywhere else in Ann Arbor or ypsi.

JM D

I ordered the chicken box, thai chicken with brussel sprouts and purple rice. A totally gluten-free meal. Whole meal was Very tasty.

Taco

We did a pick up order and not that far from the place, and when we got there we had to wait like 3 more minutes, but the noodles were hot and fresh! Staff were pleasant and the noodles tasted amazing, probably one of the best! The Gluten free Mac and cheese was great! I would definitely consider this business!

Roxanne Jensen

The service and food quality was impeccable as always! The server even went so far as to mark each item on the menu that was safe for me to eat, since I have a gluten allergy! She had recommendations for substitutions and all the modifications ready to go, it was a great experience.

Fionnan Noori

I was dying waiting for TAQ to reopen for the year! So glad they finally did so I could get the iconic nachos! Our server Nash was so kind and with my friend being gluten free and vegetarian she had a lot of questions but he was super helpful with that. I'd say it's priced pretty fairly for the quality and speed of the food. I spent less than I would've thought and had a delicious high quality meal with quick service. 10/10 recommend!

Torri Shenise

Great drinks! Gluten free buns!!!!!!

Cynthia McCall

Absolutely delicious. Lots of gluten free options. Thank you so much for making wonderful and safe options. Highly recommend.

Jeff March

It is the one place my wife can get a gluten free bun that is good the food and service is good

N A

The atmosphere is nice and so are the ladies working there. I ordered the shrimp bruchetta which was sloppily drenched in a bland sauce w/ a long piece of hair on my cheese toast. The waitress and manager went above and beyond to attempt to rectify the situation....cooking staff obviously needs to wear hair nets. My co-woker ordered a gluten-free salad which wasn't and she had a reaction. I wouldn't return or recommend.

Donna Gill

Phebe Jones

Waiter was: blatantly disregarding celiac needs, confused about allergies, irritated when asking about allergies or food modifications, didn't listen for orders. Menu was not as expansive as the East Lansing location either having no gluten free and vegan options for allergies. Waiter was rude about allergy needs and needing to modify items. Do not recommend this location.

mikayla peterson

Oh yum! Ordered takeout and it was nothing but delicious! Friendly staff and I’ll definitely be going back :) I always wish that chicken shawarma was gluten-free but it’s no fault of the restaurant. It’d be great to see more gluten free options on the menu!

Margaret Svoboda

It is hard to find a coffee place that has anything gluten-free. The Drip House has a variety to choose from. As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciate the choices.

Ersyla Nellajoy

The short take is hillarysa market and Cafe is a gem way out by Speedway on Maple and Miller. The long story is I wanted meat an thought a hamburger. But I'm gluten free so only certain places have been free buns etc. I knew Harissa was close to me so i went in bought three lovely lamb beef gluten-free meatballs on a bed of perfect saffron rice. as I enjoyed my meal I surrounded by beautiful handcrafted gift ideas and imported Delicacies. I think I might make this my regular Friday treat.

Andrea Klooster

My book club has been meeting here, which is always wonderful. Tonight was our first time coming for dinner for a special date night. The food was excellent, from the tortilla chip flight to our fabulous entrees (the salmon and the cherry burger) to a delicious and unusual Indonesian dessert (pictured). Kaitlin took such good care of us. I especially appreciated her knowledge and attention to detail regarding my gluten free diet. We will definitely be back!

Nicole Pumarada

Food was delicious, even the naan, which is always the iffy thing at Indian restaurants, imo. The only thing I didn't like was that the muttar paneer was a little sweet. Lots of vegan and gluten free options.

Steven Burkhalter

This was the one and only time I'll ever come to this restaurant. This place is so ungodly overpriced, tack on a 4.95% service charge because of "inflation" and you're not walking out of there for less than $25 per person, not including drinks. My wife, brother-in-law, and I went for dinner last night and ordered a gluten free feta bread, a small chicago deep dish pizza, and a 1/2 gluten free sub with french fries and 3 waters and our bill was $91 BEFORE tip. The food was absolutely mediocre and not worth the price. It felt like a mom and pop diner, the menu had too many items on it, and the taste just wasn't there. And before anyone calls me cheap, I'm ABSOLUTELY willing to pay good money for a good meal, but this was far from a "good meal" for the price.

Hailey

Came in on a Saturday around 7pm and was able to get a table easily. They have gluten free crackers for the spreads which was so nice. Service was great!

David Nauer

Great gluten free menu

L. Murphy

Met up with friends for brunch. I called ahead and made a reservation since there were 8 of us. Reservation was made very easily, the table was waiting for us when we arrived, Everything we ordered was really good. I have celiac and I was able to order the club sandwich with GF toast, which was so good, Everything was fresh. Everyone was very nice. We will definitely go back.

Emy Moore

All meals and ciders are GF

Caryn Walker

Filet was over cooked but potatoes, broccolini and crème brûlée were amazing! Such cool history in the building. Worth a walk around inside and out! Nice gluten free option and well educated servers.

Michael Murphy

Good gluten-free options.

Girlie Kulp

This was my second visit to Blue Nile Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan, an Ethiopian eatery. I love it because they offer gluten-free bread made from teff flour. The all-you-can-eat vegetarian feast and the spiced Ethiopian tea, which is naturally sweet, are both delightful. The ambiance is inviting, and the decor transports you beyond the U.S. The staff frequently checks in to see if you need more food. The dishes are flavorful and satisfying without feeling heavy afterward. I also enjoy eating with my fingers and the bread, and the communal vibe reminds me of home in the Philippines. I’d rate this place a 10 out of 10 for its food taste and ambiance. However, there is a $3 charge each time you order more gluten-free bread.

Corey Cowles

Celeste was an awesome bartender/server! The food was so good and very gluten free friendly. Will definitely be back, the street corn quac was sooo yummy! Thank you!

Marie Barksdale

Great Food, huge burritos, delicious. Burrito bowls This is actually a good gluten-free option as long as you If you get the bowl. This is my favorite location. I’ve always had a great customer service there. We get food quick. Dine in is good, If that’s what you’re looking for. It’s also always been easy for us to order to go and get out of the door. Just as quick as you can get through a drive-through.

Rachel A

I choose chipotle because it's a healthy gluten free option. But it's horrible. They are always out of everything. Seriously no napkins or forks. They can't even process a refund if you ordered online. They make you call a phone number. Where I am from that's stealing if you are taking money and you know you don't have the product. Also the guy that works the register, the times I have been in there is soooo rude!!! Don't order double meat, I got less than a normal serving.

Ve Ru

My husband and I fell in love with this place. We both enjoy good Mediterranean cuisine and are very happy to have discovered this restaurant when me moved to the area. Everything we had here was delicious. My most favorite main dish would be the classic chicken kebabs with lemon potatoes, they make them just perfect. But the main reason we keep coming here is actually their appetizer of patatas bravas. They are the best potatoes I ever had and are amazing every time. I also always have their Tarta de Santiago. It’s a light dessert with a unique taste and texture. And it’s gluten free. The waiters are very pleasant, professional and helpful. The atmosphere is just right, calm and relaxed. We can’t wait to come here every month.

Grace Su Ming

Very cute restuarnt. The food is solid. The flavors are good but not super rich. Lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Staff kind.

Ruthellen Ray

Food was awesome with a lot of gluten-free vegan and vegetarian choices! It was packed but we only had a 15 min wait! Service was excellent!
