I’m the most complicated individual in terms of how stringent I am with food. I look into quality ingredients, seed oil free, halal, sugar free, soy free, gluten free, grass fed butter etc & Huma & Fabian understood my language & concerns & we’re able to accommodate my every request 100%. This shall be my go to spot for late lunch or dinner. Restaurant that promote quality down to the ingredients is rare.

Soo good! We buy our bread here instead of in the stores now

Sabrina Matouk

I loved that they got gluten free food

Tanja H.

Very nice and friendly place. A paradise for celiacs! My daughter had a chocolate donut and she loved it

Erin Zachary

I literally eat here everyday because they are one of the few restaurants with gluten sensitive options. Staff is A1 food is A1!

As a long time customer of True Food Kitchen - for more than 4 years - what initially interested us was the healthy non GMO, Gluten Free menu that does not use unhealthy seed oils (like Canola/Rapeseed Oil) in its food preparation. Since then, True Food has made some slight changes to its menus, including the use of controversial Vital Farms products as well as changes to its gluten friendly pizza dough and hamburger buns, however the one thing that has NOT changed - and is the best part of the restaurant: its employees. Ask for Chantal, Yuyu or Aaron - those are three of the best restaurant professionals you will ever meet! Their can do attitude, combined with their amazing ability to connect with customers is the REAL secret weapon at True Food Kitchen on PostOak. My family can eat at any restaurant in Houston, but we choose to eat at True Food Kitchen on Post Oak because we are always given excellent service and shown kindness when we eat there. Every restaurant should figure out how those three team members work, and copy it exactly - as a customer you leave having had a good meal, and GREAT service. Kindness, always served with a smile - and if there is any problem at all with your order, they are always quick to rectify the situation. You will never sit around with an empty glass of tea if you are being served by Aaron, Chantal or Yuyu. They always put the customer first - which is why, as long as they are working at TrueFood, we will always eat there! Give it a try - and ask to sit in their sections - you will have the best dining experience ever! Thank you Chantal, Yuyu and Aaron!!

Incredible Gluten-Free fried chicken, and great wines

Nice place but not the menu for me. If your a healthy food eater who really needs gluten free this is the place. I'm almost 100% sure if you fit the description I just listed this is the place for you.

As someone with celiac disease, finding safe and delicious gluten-free options can be a challenge, but Pondicheri absolutely delivers! Their menu has so many naturally gluten-free dishes, and the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions. It’s such a relief to enjoy incredible Indian-inspired food without worrying about cross-contamination. Everything I’ve tried has been packed with flavor, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is also warm and inviting, making it a great spot for anything from a casual lunch to a special night out. If you’re gluten-free (or just love amazing food), this place is a must-visit!

Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!

Sarah Alderman

My Gluten free people!!! Run, dont walk. rC's has absolutely blown me away with their GF options. I've always enjoyed their GF pizza, and often buy dough from them for our pizza oven- always amazing. They now have a thick crust Sicilian style that is everything you could ask for. Crispy, fluffy, crispy cheesy side - think pan pizza or deep dish. It AMAZING. They use the same base for bread sticks, cheesy garlic bread, and their spinach artichoke dip. All GF. They have an entire menu for it!!! Even Pasta! If you haven't been in a while, or have never tried RC's, they need to be on your GF safe list. Go treat yourself!!

Kari Tseng

The food is delicious and the portions are generous, with plenty of gluten-free options available. However, be prepared for a wait, as there's usually a line and parking can be quite difficult.

Kylie C

We arrived Saturday around noon and didn't have to wait. Food is always fabulous and the staff are friendly and attentive. They have lots of gluten free and vegan options. Love this place!

Samantha

Really great burger joint, quite a few gluten free options on birger choices with very good shakes. All around I am very satisfied with our experience. I would highly recommend!

Karen S.

Loved the gluten free options!

Georgia Lister

This is a fantastic restaurant for anyone, but especially vegan, vegetarian and gluten free people. I have a gluten allergy and fit some reason they have a couple things on their menu that contain gluten.. One of their sauces, in particular, that seems strange to offer since it's not that amazing of a sauce? Anyway, if you have a gluten allergy, be careful. The food and atmosphere are lovely. We love going to this place!!

Kat Spofford

They have awesome gluten free chocolate chip cashew cookies, and desserts. Salads are really good too.

Stacy Falbaum

It’s so delicious. Like a reinterpretation of a classic noodle bowl. So fresh and no concerns about a negative health impact!

Jun

really good sunday brunch buffet. a ton of gluten free options, including their super tasty cornbread!!

Leo C.

One of the best gluten free buns I’ve ever had. Service was nice and made sure the rest of the burger ingredients were gluten free as well.

S. G.

Love this place. So many gluten free options, the food is good quality and the prices are really reasonable. The gluten free mango cheesecake is amazing! Not cloyingly sweet.

Nichole

Gluten free cinnamon bun crepe was delicious!

Alyssa Isbell

Really enjoyed this place. We came for the Gluten free pizza, as my son has celiac. It was delicious. Our food did take a while, but our server was so kind. She even brought us out a gluten free dessert to try! Will definitely be going back!

Tonight we had our church volunteer appreciation dinner at Carrabba’s. What an awesome night! The restaurant looks stunning, even more so than usual with all the holiday decorations. I have been coming here for many years, and it is always beautiful and an amazing experience. Tonight Ishmael and Darwin and the support staff were wonderful. I never had to ask for my glass to be refilled, or my plate to be taken. No small task with 25 people in the room for dinner. Being a former server it always is a breath of fresh air to receive excellent service, especially in this day and age of lackluster experiences at most restaurants after 2020. Every modification I asked for was kindly given to me, which I really appreciated because of being gluten free but still wanting the chicken Marsala. They had a smile on their face after any request that was made by anyone at the table, and I felt like family as I sat there. It was absolutely delicious! The chicken Marsala here is probably the best I’ve ever had. I ate the chicken Marsala at one of the franchises of Carraba’s at the airport in Atlanta in October and it was not even close. It didn’t even compare to how delicious the food is here st the Original. The servers even knew exactly when to close the doors so that we could have some quiet while we ate, visited, played a game, and went around the room to talk about the past year and our grateful hearts for our church family and our pastors. Although I do my best to give compliments instead of complaints, I don’t always succeed in remembering to do it. However, I had to post a review now while I was thinking about it so you would know how happy the whole group was with the meal and the service. Thanks for always being consistently great, guys!

John Hoeglund

Great food with allergen friendly, gluten free, and vegan options. Something tasty for everyone.

Jylian Zimmer

They have gluten free options!

Daniel Davis

Food was great and the manager Lake was real knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. Very gluten friendly.

Bertran Schultz

Good food and nice gluten-free selection.

Dave

Dog friendly patio, gluten free pancakes, Oat milk.

Guilherme Pirani

Very good food, place and people. My wife has a severe allergy to gluten and took really good care. Kudos to Katy who helped us :) *I hope I have the correct name for her. Sorry if I'm wrong LoL

Camarell Anderson

This was an excellent option for gluten free snacks. The bruschetta board and grilled cheese was amazing!

Noelle Maxwell

Absolutely love them! Service and food is amazing. I am dairy and gluten free and love that I can super yummy crepes with dairy and gluten free options! Wish more places offered that!

Hannah Slaven

Gluten free pizza that’s real pizza! Also my kids love it.

Sammy Berzoza

Wonderful crepe spot in citycentere with delicious options and very attentive staff! A little busy and a little on the loud side, but otherwise an enjoyable experience and worth a stop if you’re in the area. Expect to pay $20-$30 per person. They do have vegan and allergen friendly options on the menu such as gluten free and dairy free. Parking is a bit of a chore, and most of it is paid parking, but there is some free parking available if you’re lucky and willing to walk.

Kent Scribner

Happy hour. We arrived in time for happy hour. The house margarita was great. The happy hour food menu was valued priced. We started with the happy hour guacamole. Excellent flavor. The salsa is excellent. I tried the beef taco, fish taco and smoked chicken skewers. Everything was very good.excellent place for gluten free.

Larry Cox

OMG!!! Amazing!! First: make a reservation!! I did and avoided a 2 hour wait. Second: service is excellent!! Don’t rely on your waiter/waitress, everyone chips in! Alejandro was our waiter, excellent! Made great recommendations. I had the Thai ribs and my wife had the salmon. Told a waiter my wife had a gluten issue. He changed her order to include a side of cauliflower instead of the wheat based grain. Everything came out hot and fresh straight from the kitchen to your table. No wait time flavors were amazing. Portions were huge definitely could’ve shared either one of our plates had old fashions to drink mixed perfectly. Had the cheesecake for dessert, light fluffy, no crust or flakes and not a sweet dessert perfect for after dinner Definitely recommend this for a date night or even a family gather.

Cliff Sanchez

🤌🤌🇮🇹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our experience at this Italian restaurant in Houston was nothing short of excellent! We chose this upscale gem specifically for its extensive gluten-free options, and my wife couldn’t have been happier with her meal. Our server, Alejandro, was fantastic—crafting the perfect cocktails and providing attentive service throughout our visit. He even surprised my wife with a special gelato, which made her evening extra special! The kitchen did a remarkable job with every dish we ordered—each plate was not only delicious but beautifully presented. We were truly impressed and can’t wait to return every time we’re in Houston. This place is definitely a keeper! Highly recommend!

John Doe

Almost always great. Food was excellent, service was excellent. Gluten free options that taste amazing. Aaron is one of the best servers we've had in a long time. Ask for Aaron if at all possible.

Jenna

Black Walnut Café is such a great spot for a casual meal with tons of options! As a celiac girlie, I appreciate that they offer clearly marked gluten-free choices and that the staff is knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. I felt safe eating here, and the food was delicious! Whether you’re grabbing brunch, lunch, or dinner, it’s a solid choice for anyone needing gluten-free options in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Ruth Brown

Great gluten free options and it is delicious. The prices are a little high and the sides and drinks are on the small side. I paid almost $3 for a bottle of Diet Coke to find out it was a mini one.

Lewis James Gearing

Great food. All meats GF.

Blake Boyter

Best burger hands down. I recommend the smash burger with tots. Good local beer selection too! I’ve also tried it on their gluten free bun and have to say they have some of the best gluten free bread I’ve had.

yajaira escobedo

Food is good but pretty loud inside to have a conversation however we went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. I like the gluten free options for the pancakes.

Philippe Jacques Kradolfer

This Flower Child restaurant is definitely a fantastic place to eat and enjoy, specially if you are into natural and healthy eating. All dishes are made-from-scratch, catering to all lifestyles like vegetarian and vegan, meat-eating and gluten-free, as well as keto and paleo. To point out at a given dish, be it a salad, a bowl, a wrap, or any of the variety of mix-and-match veggies, grains, fruits and healthy proteins would be superfluous as ALL dishes are very well prepared and delicious. Of the several Flower Child restaurants I have visited this was for me one of the best ones. Great atmosphere and great service. I’m certainly looking forward to returning to explore the menu further!

Lara Sowell

We are in this restaurant this afternoon for lunch. I eat gluten free at my doctor’s direction. I ordered brisket and eggs. The brisket was served over grits and my husband ordered the gluten free pancakes for us to try. Everything was so delicious! Although next time I would cut the coconut from the pancakes. I also got a Hibiscus Rose Kombucha and a cappuccino.

Jen Alectine

First time there, visiting from Philadelphia, had a good and positive experience! Faith kindly waited on us, checked in on us but I most appreciate her efforts to accommodate my gluten-free and dairy-free needs. JJ (possibly the manager) came to check on us as well. I would highly recommend this place!

Angelika Romero

Best gluten free pizza in Houston! Highly recommend the margarita pizza with the gluten free crust and bomba style.

Crowley Grimm

can’t believe i’ve been living in houston almost 20 years and i never even knew this place was there! as a person that doesn’t eat meat, this place is great! lots of options for gluten and dairy free, too.

I have been to other Mod Pizza locations, and this was the worst, for various reasons. The person making the pizza did not know the difference between the pizza crusts - she stared blankly when my friend and I asked whether the cauliflower crust was a better choice for someone who is gluten free. Finally she said, "it's made from cauliflower...". Ummmm. I have a dairy allergy (which I advised) and there was cheese in the other topping containers. I had to ask the preparer to pick the cheese shreds off as she just reached in and grabbed whatever. The person in charge of baking the pizzas was too busy doing things on her phone to pay attention to the food, and my friend's pizza came out burned (they served it anyway). I could tell the baker was not paying attention because she had her back half-turned and was giggling as she typed for long periods on her phone. The person plating and cutting the pizza had a scowl on her face and all but shoved my pizza at me. In summary, the lack of knowledge, lack of professionalism/customer service and state of the topping containers has turned me off to this location.
