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.

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!

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!

Sooo accommodating! My girlfriend has a gluten allergy and the chef came out with a special menu for her. Food / drinks / service was amazing! We will definitely be back.

My party and I had a wonderful experience, especially thanks to our server Brian. My boyfriend has a gluten allergy and trying to find a place with gluten-free options or people who are knowledgeable of a gluten-free diet is always a challenge. I told Brian ahead of time that our table had a gluten allergy and he told us to go ahead, select our options and he would see what he could do. We ordered an assortment of nigiri, three rolls, the ceviche, grilled shishito peppers, house made seaweed salad - all of which Brian made sure could be modified into a gluten-free version and were still so delicious! We were so pleasantly surprised to hear his expertise on the ingredients in each dish. I could tell how attentive he was being throughout the night as he brought us our dessert bowls before we had the chance to order, it felt like he was reading our minds. The kakigori and green tea soufflé cake were also gluten-free and were a lovely touch to end the night on. We’re still raving about the amazing experience today and it wouldn’t have been the same without him. Thank you so much! :)

No parking, which didn't make a lot of sense because it doesn't appear to have a sit down space. The Gluten Free banana chocolate chip muffin was amazing though and my Latte was fabulous. My friend's Americano was a bit hot, probably because he didn't have any milk added to it. Will for sure be back

It may seem like a gimmick but if you want some place to try mead, know that it drinks like a beer but tastes like a wine and this is the place to try something you'll like with some amazing food to boot. They have gluten free wrap and plenty of vegetarian options too so this is an all inclusive place.

It has usually been pretty good, but my last visit wasn't great. I ordered the relleno that is gluten free and it just tasted "off". We let the waitress know and she brought the manager out. I didn't make a huge complaint because I figured I might just not like the sauce it was in. So, when the manager offered to make a new dish I thought that was great. But, I asked for no sauce and no spinach, figuring one of those might have been the problem. He didn't pay attention though, and after waiting a long while, a dish drowning in sauce was brought out. He had not paid attention at all. Then, my friend, who likes all their sauces offered to buy that meal and just have it wrapped up for lunch and the waitress acted so weird about it. I even let her know - no - He is offering to pay for it, but she said she still had to talk to the manager 🙄 what? Finally got the 3rd attempt out- only for it to still not taste great. I gave that to my friend, because by this time I just wasn't hungry any more. I may or may not go back, but I'm certainly not excited about it. The wrong food happens, but the absolute inability to pay attention to what the customer is saying - just too problematic.

The staff were very knowledgeable about which dishes would be safe for gluten-free diet restrictions. My soup and my husband’s curry were both 10/10.
