Best gluten free pizza! And just amazing food! I came here with some friends, being gf and vegan it's hard to go out with a group of friends who don't have dietary requirements and this place was just perfect! I was able to eat the same foods as my friends without feeling left out. I can't wait to come back .
Incredibly accomodating and knowledgeable about gluten free/coeliacs and what is suitable on their menu. Even come by with a card for you to have near your place setting with “coeliac” written so no servers mistake your order.
Quite delicious. If you get the set menu, portions seem a bit small at first but by the end, you’re stuffed. Nothing super ground breaking, just modern Middle Eastern fusion done well and presented beautifully.
Sat outside and the bar table is a bit unstable, plus the ground is sloped. A bit awkward to deal with but not terrible.
Plenty of gluten free options and well communicated.
Nothing that stood out as a must have again but still a solid choice for an upmarket meal out.
I went to dinner with 3 friends and it was a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is really nice with seating both downstairs and upstairs and is very welcoming.
Menu is extensive and has vegetarian, dairy free, nut free and gluten free options so really something for anyone with a restriction!
Staff were very attentive and service was wonderful.
Excellent pizza, perhaps slightly salty, but very digestible. You can feel that the dough is worked well, since I have stomach problems, gluten free is also available.
Small, somewhat noisy, but familiar environment.
Right price quality.
Long term customers with an ever evolving menu of deliciously fresh, aromatic flavours. Couples, families, friends it’s a guaranteed great meal every time. Menu a little confusing for celiacs. Items not clearly listed GF.
My experience at Shaffa was nothing short of exceptional. The food is absolutely outstanding—rich in flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with creativity and care.
The ambiance strikes the perfect balance: sleek and stylish, yet relaxed and unpretentious. The unique layout adds a rustic, authentic charm that makes you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere far from the usual Sydney dining scene.
The menu is a standout—varied, inventive, and full of soul. Each dish reflects thoughtful preparation and bold, memorable flavours.
What truly elevates Shaffa, though, is the service. Veronica and her team strike a rare balance of being warm and personable while remaining impressively professional and attentive. Nothing feels like too much trouble.
We were looked after by the wonderful Francis, who brought the whole experience together with his deep knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. He took the time to ask insightful questions about our preferences and made thoughtful recommendations that hit the mark. His attentiveness—especially toward my partner’s gluten intolerance—was both considerate and seamless.
I can’t recommend Shaffa highly enough for your next meal out. You’ll be in for a memorable, delicious experience from start to finish.
✅ Separate fryers for gluten-free items.
✅ Practise safe measures in the kitchen.
✅ Ask if you’re coeliac if you order gluten-free, so they can make a note for the kitchen.
✅ Nommy food!
We celebrated a birthday at The Winery for one of their Sip & Slay brunches. The food was amazing with generous portions. Our various dietary needs were taken care of seamlessly with delicious gluten and dairy free alternatives provided.
The service was exceptional from the moment we arrived - with a shout out to the lovely Eva!
The drag show was spectacular! Fun, entertaining and brilliantly naughty.
Highly recommend!
Gluten free and vegetarian options avaliable. We had a toasted sandwich each and a side of chips. Good portions and delicious. Happy hour between 4-6pm. Aperol Spritz for $10, nice and strong! Lovely outdoor seating and attentative staff.
This is by far in my top 5 dining experiences! The food itself is fresh, delicious and unique. Even better is they are very educated with allergens ( I have Celiac's disease), and they took it seriously. It's a professional, trendy, yet welcoming space. I went back 3 times while I was in Sydney because it was such an awesome experience! To top it off their staff is brilliant -professional, educated, and a delight to be around. I can't wait to go back!
We went to the caberet event last night and had a great time! The food was absolutely amazing and served quickly with great timing in between meals. The service was really great. Lots of gluten free options which was nice! The show was amazing. All in all a really nice night. We are planning to come back soon :)
So so impressed! Absolutely recommend Arthur to everyone, worth every penny. The service is also phenomenal. As someone with Coeliac (GF diet) they were so accommodating and took great care preparing my dishes. The food is so delicious and the ambience is beautiful. This is a new favourite for me.
Visited for the first time on new years day. Staff were super friendly and greeted us with a smile and a ‘happy new year’ greeting which was nice. We sat near the window and ordered via the QR code on the table. We both enjoyed the pita breads (gluten free and wholemeal low carb pita) & dips (tzatziki and eggplant). We will return here for another meal when in the area again. They are located only a short walk from Central station on the Woolworths side.
We loved this place. Good vibe and a sense of the food being made with love and quality ingredients.
Service was fresh and friendly. Mr S thought his eggs Benedict was top notch and I really enjoyed my dish - with very nice gluten free bread.
Do you like cheap, but good pizza? Welcome back to the competition, Dominos.
If you really want to feed 5 plus mouths and the politcians who own your household are unreasonably hiking up the rent, look no further than good ole Dominos
Sure, they lost their way for a bit, but don’t we all?
You’ve got options, you’ve got an app, you’ve got vegan, gluten free, and you’ve even got that 90s garlic bread wrapped in foil - yep, that one that is probably more cake than savoury dish.
Thanks for being who you are Dominos.
Don’t go changing, or trying too hard, you’re perfect who you are.
Very homely and absolutely delicious food. Huge range of Gluten Free options which suited our needs. The service provided by the owner was extremely friendly and helpful when choosing our meals. I would highly recommend Mexican Burrito Cantina to anyone looking for a traditional Mexican restaurant.
Sweet and cosy cafe with high quality food, beverages and amazing customer service. The staff provided us with a blanket when it was chilly outside, and answered all of our questions about the food, including whether items were gluten free, as one of us is coeliac.
They even pulled up an extra chair for our little pup at our outdoor table, which was very kind. When it started pouring down with rain, they invited us inside and set up a table for us to keep dry. We are in love with this place after stumbling across it today, and will definitely be back!
My friend and I were taking a noon walk, passing by this beautiful restaurant in Surry Hills. The atmosphere of the restaurant was delightful. Mishy greeted us, led us to our table, and handed us a very sweet, fresh slice of watermelon.
The dishes were beautifully fresh and very healthy. If you order a salad, I would recommend adding cured ora salmon; it's delicious. Before I left, I took away a pistachio gluten-free dessert. It was just the cream on top of the cake. I would definitely come back again :)
We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday at Lil Darlin’ in Surry Hills, and it was absolutely perfect! We booked a group for their bottomless brunch and were blown away by the entire experience.
The food was incredible – everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We had two coeliac guests in our group, and the staff went above and beyond to provide a dedicated gluten-free menu with plenty of safe and tasty options. It made such a difference and was genuinely appreciated!
The cocktails were sensational – creative, well-balanced, and kept flowing throughout the brunch. For $89–$99 per person, it was incredibly good value and reasonably priced for the quality and amount of food and drinks provided.
The vibe of the place is fun and relaxed, perfect for a celebration. We’re already planning our next visit. If you're looking for great food, amazing drinks, and top-notch service, Lil Darlin’ is the place to be.
Highly recommend!
After waiting YEARS for a reservation we finally got one and this place didn't disappoint... The service here was impeccable, every person that served us knew their part to a T! We were educated on food and wine and nothing was a hassle - even our gluten and dairy free requests. One on the bucket list ticked off but would love to return again
I was very disappointed with the service. I clearly informed the waitress that I am coeliac, but they repeatedly overlooked my dietary restrictions. They initially brought out a dish with croutons, and when I asked if it was gluten-free, they seemed confused and said mine was still coming—clearly indicating they had forgotten about my allergy. It then took another 10 minutes to receive my meal, and unfortunately, I became sick after eating. Given the lack of care and attention to serious dietary needs, I won’t be returning.
The falafel plate was very good for a kebab joint. Very few places will freshly the falafel like they do here. I'd prefer to go to Jimmy's at Wynyard and pay a bit for for the vegetarian plate there, but it's such a hassle to get there.
This is a great option if for a healthy vegan gluten free option if you're nearby.
Amazing Thai Green Curry with chicken... superb service. All the food we ordered was excellent and they did proper Gluten Free advice for our Ceoliac friend.
Very tasty middle eastern food, decently sized and priced. The pita bread was served separately but not sure if the falafel was gluten free or if the sauces were dairy free - no dietary guidance unfortunately. BYO with no corkage was nice and the bottle shop was just across the road.
An unusual building with character. Not the warmest of welcomes and everyone was rushed out at 9:30pm instead of closing time at 10pm. The service was a little off putting to be honest, especially the gentleman, hence the 4 stars.
