Delicious vegetarian menu including several signature concoctions and several dishes which are also gluten free, or vegan or vegan option. Every food dish is healthy here. At least everything here is served with healthy intent. I only say this because they do serve beer and wine also.

A lot of gluten free options, pricey but the food is very solid. Waitress was kind and the vibe was lovely!

Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating. Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not. Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊

I love the work out classes, and LOVE that they have so many vegan and gluten free pastries.

Celebrating a senior's birthday, 4 of us agreed to Indian Oven for our first contact with them. The reservation process was easy and I could leave notice that one of us had Celiac Disease. I also emailed to see if they had gluten free options. They responded to say they had many dishes that were gluten free, or could be made gluten free easily. We decided to go and are very glad we did! The chef owner himself came out to talk directly to me about my food options, assisting the four of us to order a variety of foods almost all of which were gluten free! They ordered naan (very fluffy) while I ordered the gluten free roti right off the menu. The chef was knowledgeable about food restrictions, and all the staff were very good about keeping the gluten food away from the gluten free! We ordered 4 gluten free share plates (Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka Masala, Aloo Gobi plus the Indian Oven Grill, a mixed share plate with Fish Tikka and Prawns, tandoori chicken and chicken tikka, seekh kebab that was wonderful for the other three; I was served the chicken tikka separate from this plate. Veg Jalfrezi rounded out our meal, coupled with a very good plain rice. We also had a litre of wine to share at reasonable cost. All in, we agreed that we must return and enjoy other dishes - for the menu is extensive. No better review than that!

This place was great! As someone with celiac disease, it was so nice to know everything was 100% gluten free, and my non celiac fiance loved the bowl he got too. I had the regular size porchetta with honey mustard, rice pilaf and garden salad and it was delicious and the perfect portion. Will 100% go back next time I am in the city! But do note, there is no bathroom so make sure to not wait until you get to the restaurant like I did, assuming there would be one lol.

Didn’t understand what all the hype was about this place until a friend and I went…. Wow great quality food, so delicious! My friend loved the gluten free pasta! Will definitely come back!

Great Canadian restaurant. Fabulous and friendly service. Absolutely wonderful waiter. Great meal served with great courtesy, no better place. Gluten friendly too.

Got a sandwich here for lunch. Food was great, decor and atmosphere are nice if a bit quirky. They offer gluten-free bread for sandwiches which I enjoyed! Both times I visited there was no one at the counter when I arrived which was a bit awkward. The second time I waited for a while and then ended up leaving because no one arrived.

Three of us waited about an hour in the cold to get inside. I love the vibe inside, I got a good but not outstanding gluten-free meal, service was good but I’m jot sure the whole experience is worth the hour wait outside

Checked with the host before seating that they’d be able to accommodate gluten free at brunch. Discovered later that they had no gluten free bread and all potato is cooked in a gluten contaminated fryer. Disappointing that they couldn’t accommodate, had to eat elsewhere.

Amazing experience, the whole idea is awesome, unique and inspiring! Hiring the visually disabled is something a company should get more applause for doing! Joe was awesome and funny! Our needs were met! I had a gluten allergy and had no problem finding gluten free stuff on the menu, they can change pretty much everything to be gluten free! My only real complaint is that the prices were super high and the food was a solid 7.5/10 which isn’t bad at all! It’s more for the experience and I’m so happy with everything!

Everything is made in house … gluten free pastas and crackers available . The wines were amazing ! The mushroom risotto was perfectly cooked , the rigatoni Bolognese was superb … this place reminded me of the old pronto on Cambie street , but better ! Will definitely be going back

My husband and I always order from this place. We recently have been dinning in and can I say the food is some how even better if you dine in! Take out is totally worth it and still delicious. They accomdate for my husbands Gluten Sensitivity and he has had zero issues from them. All the dishes are delish. Best Chinese in Kitsilano. ❤️

Honestly, this place falls short of expectations. Despite claiming to offer gluten-free options on their online menu, there were none available. It's a charming spot, but the service lacks expertise, and the food doesn't scream authenticity. The menu is disappointingly limited. For an authentic experience, your best bet is to venture to Richmond instead.

I will start by saying this is some of the best Mexican food in Vancouver. Each dish was packed full of flavour with generous portions...but the service...was terrible. I'm not sure if it was the staff on the particular Friday night we went but, I've never experienced such terrible service. The staff were friendly but ridiculously slow and forgetful. It started with when we arrived. We were left standing at the door for 5 minutes while the door staff pottered around doing seemingly nothing, fixing lights and what not. The place had multiple empty tables too, we still had to wait in the cold to be seated. The women who took our order started to take it, once we listed out appys she just turned around and walked away...said absolutely nothing and didn't come back. It took 5 minutes to flag down someone to take the rest of our order. We thought it was random misunderstanding and enjoyed our appetizers. But it took 55 minutes from us finishing our appetizers to get the main course, and when we got it, we needed to request cutlery twice. During that almost hour, our glasses were regularly empty, and it was difficult to flag staff down to request a refill, and once we did, it took even longer to get the next glass. I usually wouldn't complain about something like this only for the place was half empty, the staff stood in the hallway to the kitchen chatting and it wasn't just one staffer, it was multiple bad interactions. We paid almost $150 for food and drinks and only for the food was that good I'd be leaving 1 star. Please speak with and train your staff, your food is too good to have such poor service. I really want to come back and try more, if there is guaranteed better service, especially because almost everything on the menu is gluten free which is rare in Vancouver.

This was our first visit to "Don at Kitsilano". They'd run out a few of the gluten free items on the menu, but I was able to find substitutes. The food was wonderful! We all enjoyed our meals. I had beef tartare as a starter, and beef cheeks for the main. Both dishes were fabulous!! If you want to be sure of a table, make a reservation. As a party of 4, we were very glad we had reserved a few days before our visit. We are already planning our next visit! Thank you so much everyone.

Celiac safe and dairy free. Ate the steak, salad, and fries. Amazing. Great service!!!

What a fabulous brunch on the patio! Our group of five ordered the mimosa tower which was enough for each of us to have 2-3 drinks. Everyone was very happy with the food, my steak and eggs were incredible. I think these potatoes are the best I’ve ever had. We had members of our party who were vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free and there was something for everyone. The one sidenote would be to skip the $4 side of grilled avocado as it was just one single thin slice so that wasn’t worth the cost.

Perfect spot for a quick no-fuss meal; friendly staff, celiac-friendly menu and cosy vibes The food itself is super tasty, a bit too much on the sweet side especially the Thai iced tea and even the pad thai, but overall generous portions, nice flavours and textures And no background music which is rare and amazing 💗
