Most authentic oven-fired neopolitan pizza in downtown BK; BEST GLUTEN FREE crust in the CITY! The evening ambiance and heated / covered backyard are as delectable as the food. This has become a special treat for date night--it feels like a slice of Italy 🍨
Good overall, good gluten free pasta. But I find it to be a bit over-rated. Desserts are not that good. Flavor is always off. They’ve messed up my delivery orders multiple times with no attempt to make it right.

One of the best food markets in NY. It is not the cheapest, but it is worth it.
We took the tacos and the arepa (both gluten free) and they were really tasty
Literally the best vegan food i've had in ages (easily adaptable to vegan and gluten-free options).
The food is extremely tasty, there are many options and the staff is adorable.
I highly recommend!!

I've been here a bunch of times and recently went again. It was great!
The vegetarian combo was fantastic as always. I think this place has my favorite injera. I've been here with a gluten-free friend and they offer a gluten-free injera option - so great! The lentil sambusa was flavorful and delicious, a great option for kids. Although, you should be sure that your kid can handle flavor and texture and spice; this isn't a place for buttered noodle kids.
The service is always good and the space is nice.
We sat in the back which was fully enclosed, so that was lovely. I've been back there before in the summer, but was happy to see the enclosure was comfortable.
Clean eating but kind of boring for the price. Good for dietary restrictions like gluten free stuff. Just not very exciting and not very large portions so didn't like the price was entirely justified. The non alcoholic drinks are a rip off for sure. $12 for like 4 oz of juice essentially. That was a little steep. Service was very good however, atmosphere was nice. Went for brunch so the wait for the food was a bit long. Fresh juices were very good.
Really great celiac-friendly restaurant. They even have the option of gluten-free pita upon request that's quite delicious. My food accidentally came with a regular pita on it and they immediately noticed their mistake and went back and prepared a fresh, new plate.
The Jungle Cafe is one of those places that nourishes you on all levels. Tasty, clean, fresh, healthy food in a warm, natural and inviting environment. Great smoothies, juices, sandwiches, salads, main courses, vegan and gluten free deserts — even hot cacao! The buffet has a wide selection and features rotating cultural themes daily (Mexican, Indian, Polish, etc.). Do yourself and your community a favor by supporting this great local establishment!
PS — It’s also a great place to get some reading or work done, or meet up with friends.
ISO recommendations on GF restaurants/coffee shops and where to get GF groceries (bread, pasta, cereals...) around Kensington/Windsor terrace/Park Slope area 🤞
the lemongrass pork rice bowl was insanely good AND gluten free!!!!!!! (iirc all the rice bowls are!) i've been missing vietnamese marinated pork since being diagnosed celiac and this more than hit the spot. so flavorful and juicy.
Awesome place!.... Food was delicious, fresh and served with a smile. High quality ingredients. Great gluten free options. Worth visiting. A good find.
I have been an Ursula evangelist since they opened. At this expanded location on Nostrand, I am even more so. The breakfast burritos have always been incredible, and now with an expanded brunch, lunch and dinner menu, you get the best of New Mexican cuisine with an amazing atmosphere and staff. The food is consistently creative and delicious. As someone who is gluten free, I can eat the majority of this menu with reckless abandon (even the desserts!!). So many great vegan and vegetarian options too. The food is also great as take out. This is the perfect spot for a fun dinner with friends or a cute date night. Can’t recommend Ursula’s enough!
The gluten free pizza was very chewy - the flavor of margherita was not good, very bland; the tre foliage was very salty, but not flavorful. Won’t come back again
My friends and I came for the prefix menu and it didn't disappoint, gluten free options too! Arthur was such a sweetheart and made sure we were well taken care of while we had our mini reunion.Will def be back soon!
As someone with celiac disease, finding a restaurant where I won’t get poisoned can be challenging. When the staff know the seriousness of it and actively assist in accommodating a dietary restriction, I am able to feel so much more at ease and can actually enjoy the food. I really enjoyed everything and appreciated the service. Highly recommend
Found this restaurant looking for gluten free options for friends. The ambience is so welcoming and yet intimate. Food was excellent, my gluten free friend enjoyed her meal as well. Would def recommend this place!
Because of the gluten-free options, I’ve given this place multiple tries and every time it’s the same.
Long wait times, regardless of how many people are in front of you. Incredibly small portions for a seemingly ridiculous price (even in this economy). I swear they only use 1 medium egg with every sandwich. My friend got a BEC on a bagel and could barely find the egg. Watery smoothies. Chai latte tastes like cereal milk. Food generally tastes good but def not worth the time and money. At this point, idc if it’s organic, I’d rather pop into my local bodega and add gluten free bread from home. Vibes are 100% gentrification from aesthetics to pricing to the demographic that continues to come here.
Hearty Italian with extremely friendly and accommodating service. All our dishes were excellent in terms of taste (including gluten free pasta which they paid extra attention to if there was gluten in the meatballs - thank you!), and were very generous in time of size. I'd recommend considering splitting a dish! It is cash only and marked clearly as such IMO. We definitely would love to come back as it feels like the family type of Brooklyn vibe we appreciate. A great spot in Brooklyn Heights!
Meat eater here! I don’t usually go looking for vegan food but the gluten free bun on this menu caught my eye. After talking with the cashier, a bright person with a friendly demeanor named Khyla, I was sold on the burger. Khyla gave me complete confidence that I not only won’t be “glutened” but would love the food. The vegan burger resembled beef in texture but had a new and distinct flavor that I really enjoyed. With gluten transparency highlighted on the menu this is a safe space to enjoy tasty fast food. 10 out of 10.
I’m coeliac and they gave me farrow!
Waited 1 hour for any food at all (appetizers) and then a long time between courses. >3 hours total. Food small portions & very very overpriced.
Too easy to use the incorrect side of v sharp knife- cut finger. Many rats around their chicken coup right outside the window we ate at (they weren’t bothered).
I never got a reply from them on my email with allergy concerns after feeling unwell. I would not recommend.
Came for brunch. Interesting dishes and all flavors were on point. Easily adapted my dish to make it gluten free. Ate inside and appreciated the acoustics made for a relatively quiet meal - no shouting required.
This is a lovely neighborhood spot with excellent food and cocktails in a beautifully designed cozy interior. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating. The gluten free pizza option is great and the saffron risotto is delicious. Ingredients are obviously fresh and high quality through out. Highly recommend!
I have been to this restaurant (both UES and Emmons locations) many times in the past 2 years, and the food is always delicious. Likewise, they have live music in their Emmons location. Furthermore, they have gluten-free options, which is great but cost a little bit extra.
Had the amazing -- and inexpensive !! salmon tacos here, served on (handmade?) delicious corn tortillas 😋 which are very much appreciated by this gluten-allergic customer! Wow, the raw tuna ones sounded delicious as well -- love the Japo/Mexi melting pot that is this place!

Did a timeleft dinner hear. The food was incredible. I had a gluten free beef oxtail pasta. I'm still thinking about it days later. They need better hot sauce on the side though.
The food is gluten free. And they already charge a service fee of 20%. Most of the food was missing flavor, the best part of the meal was the drinks. The place looks nice but other than that, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you are going on diet or want gluten free options.
Amazing spot with great food and drinks. The first time we stopped in here we weren’t sure to expect and everything was amazing. That was a few years ago now and we’ve been going back ever since!
They have a ton of gluten free options!
Amazing local haunt with classic and delicious Italian food. It makes sense that there’s lots of local regulars because the service is very attentive, warm and personalized with staff that has lots of attention to detail and are passionate about the place. They put real effort into be accommodating for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free too!
Some of the best service and food you can ask for. My husband is celiac / gluten free and the waiter was incredibly personable and walked us through everything. We were suppose to have dinner at Frankie’s but found ourselves in the area early and they welcomed us for a late lunch instead. Sadly, they didn’t have their GF pasta that day but we picked all items that were gluten free and the waiter broke it up into 3 courses for us — so it felt like we were experiencing a true Italian meal (just all gluten free). We left full and happy! There is something so homey about the inside and it makes you want to stay and enjoy another glass of wine (and Negroni) with whomever you’re dining with. We can see why it’s raved about!!
