Being celiac, I blame myself for believing that a Mac and Cheese place that offers a gluten free alternative could be for real. Don’t be fooled by their ‘GF available’ option, either the sauce was made with flour, or they reused the water to boil the pasta, but I had the worst gluten experience of my life. It was way beyond cross contamination. I agree that the food was delicious, but I would not risk it being are celiac or gluten intolerant, I regretted it deeply. The restaurant agreed to reimburse my plate and ‘look at the kitchen footage’… one week later and I am still waiting for the refund and never heard about their conclusion. I would not brand this place GF unless they change to a dedicated kitchen.
To end the night on an even lower note, although not the restaurant’s fault, our car got broken into, parked right outside the restaurant.
Being Gluten-Free....I am challenged at restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised at the absolute flavor and taste of the food. Even my non-gluten free family loved the fried chicken. Thsnk you
Reliable staple in my life. Fontell is a great host and member of the team. Such a great place for gluten free fries, gluten free wings, gluten free pizza, vegan Buffalo sauce is a must!
Swung by here for lunch and was very glad we did.
We were worried that it was going to be a bunch of fake meat, but that was farthest from the case. Everything tasted super fresh and there's no manufactured weirdness here.
It's a fixed menu, with self service tea and water. All gluten-free and vegan and super tasty.
The black eyed pea veggie soup was ridiculously good - I would have ordered a vat of it if I could have.
We got the chocolate cake - it was a mousse with coconut crust, and it was rich yet not overly sweet. Super tasty.
I'm mainly sad I don't live in NorCal anymore because I'd eat here daily if possible, but when I am up here I'll be making it a point to come back again.
I’ve eaten at 4+ different Ethiopian spots in Oakland so far, and this has been my favorite experience. Great gluten-free injera, kind service, and very yummy veggie combo platter. 👍
Food was good - though I did take out and the portions seemed a little small. Also - we made a mistake on the order, and the phone number takes you to an AI voice bot, which was very annoying. We also needed to check the status of if the fries were gluten-free or not due to dietary restrictions in the family. (The gluten status of items is NOT available online) Worse yet, when it decided it could not answer my question, it told me it could not connect me to restaurant and just offered me a voicemail box or an email address. Not helpful. Might as well not have a telephone number, almost cost them another star over all it was so aggravating.
Really delicious with friendly staff! We saw a lot of people getting the hotpot but didn’t get it because my friend is eating gluten free- it looked fresh and like big portions. Our server was able to tell my friend which banchan and dishes were safe for her to eat. I got the tteokbokki in rose cream sauce, which was huge and rich tasting with bacon.
Celiac friendly
