This place is amazing

One of the few places with a dedicated gf pizza oven. The pizza is great. They'll also make a gf "focaccia" using the pizza crust which is also delicious. They also have gf pasta.

1,000/10 cannot recommend Chaia enough! My wife and I fell in love with Chaia thanks to their brussels sprouts quesadilla and salsa verde, which we would highly, highly recommend. There's also a little park next door that can be used for especially nice days weather-wise. Because of our love for Chaia, my wife and I reached out to Chaia when we were looking for a venue to host a party for some family and friends coming to visit DC from out of town, and they put together an absolutely outstanding evening. Bettina (co-founder/co-CEO) was excellent throughout the planning process, making sure that the party was just as we wanted it. Even as our plans shifted a time or two, Bettina graciously worked with us to make sure that everything would be fine. The vegetarian and gluten-free dishes made accommodating various dietary restrictions incredibly easy, and as expected, the food and drinks were excellent. (Our guests raved to us about the food, especially the habenro pepita dip.) Leyla and Abigail, the staff who were on-site for the event, also went above and beyond to make the evening a great time. We are so thankful we had our celebration at Chaia, and we highly recommend it to anyone else looking for a venue for an intimate celebration!

Simone Gillespie

Very knowledgeable waitstaff as well as a clearly marked menu. We went for Restaurant Week and I was so thrilled to be able to participate in the RW specials. Two thumbs up for a stress free experience as a celiac!

Beth Rose

This was my second time here. Convenient location. I appreciate the delicious gluten-free options and quick service.

Exceptional service! & Amazing gluten-free food! Had no reaction whatsoever! As someone with Celiac I felt confident eating here and staff was very knowledgeable!

Great food, gluten free, vegan options, good environment, will visit again!

Neha Gupta

great ambience and service. lots of gluten free options. loved everything i ordered (meat platter) but wish i got lamb instead of the beef kofte. i felt like the flavor was good but didn’t exactly jump out at me– especially in the stews. but the standout for me was the rice pudding!!! one of my favorite desserts of all time.

J Casseia Lewis

Food was amazing & our server, Jack, was really great. He helped direct me to the gluten free options, he was incredibly kind and checked in on our table throughout service. We had the Chesapeake eggs Benedict, corn beef hash, and oysters. No complaints whatsoever.

Nina Weissberg

On top of ambiance, excellent books, and superb service, they have great Gluten free choices including fried chicken and fried catfish.

Kara Sarita

Maybe it was the time of day, maybe my bar is lower because I am gluten free…but I loved it! I went around 2 on a weekday and was impressed by the ambiance, service, quality of beverage options and best of all…gluten free chicken and waffles?!!! Never have I ever. Unnecessarily pricey AF…but imo so is everything in DC, regardless of quality/quantify…so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Keya Gal

Lots of choices. Great for large-scale groups with all kinds of dietary needs including gluten free options

Victoria H

Reasonable prices, quick service, and all food is gluten-free. Highly recommend!!

Samantha S.

Love having a taste of South America in dc! Sometimes the arepas are a bit tougher than usual, but the flavors are always delicious and I love that they have sauces you can buy to take home. And so much gluten free!!

Allison Mione

We love it here! Everything is gluten free and safe for Celiacs.

Amanda Long

Absolutely delicious pizza! The GF was amazing and my whole family enjoyed their meal and service was fantastic. Highly recommend!!

Blair Egan

Great food, all gluten free (I have celiac disease, and this takes away all stress over cross contamination), and casual. It is an easy place to stop at and get a good meal that doesn’t weigh you down but satisfies you at the same time.

Tracy Dunne

We were looking for a bite to eat after viewing the Phillips Collection. The menu lacks information for those on a gluten free or vegan diet. The dining area is small, crowded, and noisy. The tables were filled with young adults chatting away long after they finished eating (if they ate at all) so we had no choice but to stand or sit on the stairwell ledge. Otherwise the food and tea was enjoyable.

Stefan Schwarz

A pretty delicious meal. Came here as a group and had both vegetarian and gluten-free diners with us. We could get something we each desired here, and our server was fantastic. She handled all of our needs and then some. We were there early evening, and there were a few tables filled, but when we left, most tables were filled. We shared several appetizers, the skillet cornbread was delish, and the habanero butter added a nice kick. Both the avocado tartare and fried cauliflower were great, and the deviled crab egg looked good. I tried the Peruvian soup for my meal, and it came in a giant bowl filled with meat, potatoes, cheese, and a fried egg. I ate about half and brought the rest home. All of the others had great food and looked terrific. We were all too full for dessert, though the dessert menu had some delicious things. Looking forward to coming here again in the future, and I highly recommend that you give this place a try.

G Wilson

Place was crowded and line organization was lacking. The gluten free options were limited but was able to find a few items that were tasty. Good for a quick grab and go meal if you are on the run…

Giulia Rozzo

Anyone who is celiac or a gluten intolerance

Samantha Benjamin

Great option if you are gluten free! The food is fantastic and the employees are knowledgeable. It’s not really a sit down restaurant, you order at the counter and bus your own place, but it’s real food, sourced from local fishermen.

Marie Leilani

Lunch and dinner for gluten sensitive

Leslie Gluten Free Finds

Many gf options on the menu. They're clearly marked on the menu. Had a great steak and mashed potatoes. They also have gf sushi, salads and more.

Matthew Chisholm

Gluten free pizza and stuffed shells were decent but not great

Brian Foy

Great tasting pizza... I can only wish they made the gluten-free pizza crust in house so it didn't have a cracker texture.

Clarissa Martin

Gluten free person here! Had the gf chipper but overall felt disappointed- I think Georgetown cupcakes does a better gf cupcake. It was a bit dry and overly sweet.

Kobbi Gal

The food was very disappointing. We had the lasagna, the basil chicken pasta. The taste was mediocre, the gluten free pasta was good. The portions, especially the lasagna was ridiculously small. We got cocktail, something with ginger, lemon, honey that was flat and bland. The afogatto was also average. The service was pretty good and the place was packed.

Kat S

The best! I have celiac & am very symptomatic. I eat here often and it’s one of my favorites!!!

We are gluten-free and dairy-free. If that's you, this may be a good option. Everything there is dairy-free, with some options also being gluten-free. Service is mid. If you call them, it often takes days for someone to answer or return a call. When you go in-person, the salesperson is knowledgeable but not necessarily warm. We've been several times for a sweet-giz. The brownies are moist and sweet (the one thats like a brownie sandwich with cream in the middle had more of a cake consistency and bot super moist like a brownie). The cookies that I've tried (oatmeal whoopie/cream pie and chocolate chip) were not very moist and only moderately sweet. I don't necessarily need a lot of sweetness, but my crew does, and they thought it was just ok. I recently ordered a birthday cake from them for my neice. After some back-and-forth and calling over 2 days, they accommodated our request to pick it up for hours earlier (they have a 72-hour pre-order rule, or something like that). Had someone answered our calls, it would've been easy to adjust the time, but i digress... The cake was pretty, and the sweetness was on-point. However, it was a bit dry, though. I bake dairy-free and vegan desserts myself, so I know it can be tricky to get the moistness correct, so I'm hoping that they will tinker with their formula to make their items a bit more moist. We would come back bc dairy-free and gluten-free options are slim pickings (it's usually just one or the other), but I would just stick with the brownie. I'm adding a photo of the cake, which was super cute. We purchased the toppers ourselves.

the cozy experience

This restaurant has great atmosphere, really accommodating servers and really beautiful decor. We called ahead they do allow outside cake but we needed to bring our own serving materials so we came prepared cutlery, plates, and knives, but it turns out you only need bring a knife and cut it yourself to avoid the $3 per person cake fee that we learned about upon arrival. (On the phone they just said bring everything and they ended up bringing out plates and silverware??) But no cake fee was incurred so that was nice! THE MENU did a great labeling of dietary restrictions cause our group had a celiac, nuts allergy, and dairy allergy separately which made it hard to share plates and eat family style as intended. However our server didn't know which dip was which on the sampler platter and we had a brave allergic and restriction-less soul figure it out but she wasn't sure other than the fishy one. Also I had a coconut allergy and that ingredient wasn't listed but must have been in some of the dishes cuz my throat was a little itchy when I left. However this is a fancy restaurant and I was disappointed in almost everything I tried. Dip platter was hit and miss the cauliflower was the best but it's hard to mess up cauliflower, the rice seemed like it had cloves in it, I wouldn't have ordered it if I'd noticed that in the ingredients list, the borek was most disappointing of all, and the portions where tiny. The beef noodles the meat was hard. My friend that ordered the lamb kebab seemed most happy and she's the only one who finished her portion without comments. I will say other people liked the borek and maybe Turkish neighbors at the dupont farmers market raised my expectations for that particular dish too high cuz they give me really good and big borek every week lol. Price: We spent 50-100 per person that included a compulsory 20% tip but it would have been in the 35-40 range if we hadn't been covering for the birthday girls portion.

The food here is phenomenal. Our server was so knowledgeable and provided excellent service. They had several gluten free options. Highly recommend this place!

Was in DC for a couple of days and stopped by here for brunch on my last day. The place is located in CityCenterDC which is a cute stretch of restaurants and high end shops. The place is small with some outside seating. You order your food and then grab a seat if dining in and they bring your food to you. I ordered the large sweet berry waffle, which is essentially a regular sized waffle instead of a half waffle which you can also order. I also had the Nobility juice. The juice ended up being more expensive than I thought. There is a charge for the juice and then an up charge for the size. It ended up costing me $12.95 ($9.95 + $3.00 for a medium size). The waffle was $15.95. I think that is too expensive for a drink. It’s not easy to find gluten free vegan waffles and pancakes so whenever I run across them I order them. The waffle was tasty and the strawberries and blueberries were fresh. The Nobility juice was good. It definitely had a green taste to it as I suspected. I’m not a big fan of green juice, but felt I could use less sweetness since I was eating a waffle with fruit. I would eat here again, but try a different juice and at a smaller size.

Emily Hart

I absolutely love this place! We were in DC on vacation for a week and I ate here almost every night. I always got gluten free pizzas here and they are delicious and the gluten-free crusts are easier to chew than other places I've tried and are a good flavor; you wouldn't know it was gluten free unless someone told you. They are extremely friendly and that also made me want to come back! When I come back to DC, I'll be back!! 🥰 Thanks for the pizza!

Kriston László

Best fast food restaurant in the USA, plus points for the gluten-free bun, but the service is terribly slow...

E.L. Marchant

We enjoyed a great dinner at Joe's. We were able to get a last-minute reservation while in town for one night. The food was excellent, but the service was top-notch, and I would give our server, Jeffery, 10 stars if I could. First, they were extremely accommodating with my extensive food allergies. My son and husband have no food allergies, so they got to enjoy a lot more than me. I opted for the grilled seafood platter that came with scallops, lobster, and shrimp and for a side sautted mushrooms. Everything was made gluten-free, also dairy, soy, peanut, and treenut free. It was hearty and delicious and I don't often enjoy a meal so much, especiallyseafood. It's hard to find places that can accommodating me. My son got filet with crab Oscar and my husband a ribeye with bearnaise. They shared a mashed potatoe and a lobster mac. Jeffery was attentive and funny, and we enjoyed his stories. It made the experience even better. We are looking forward to eating there again next time we are in town.

Christina Callicott

I happened across this place on Google maps while I was looking for somewhere to have dinner for my birthday. It ended up being AMAZING! I can't say enough good things about the food, the service, the atmosphere. I loved our waiter, and everyone we interacted with was infallibly courteous and pleasant. And the food was incredible. We had the chef's choice menu. They were very flexible in providing gluten-free options, which is remarkable given that it's a prix-fixe menu. I'm pretty hard to please with food, but I ate everything they put in front of us and would have eaten more. Even the cocktail (the cucumber basil smash) was probably the best one I've ever had. Well done Nina May!

Gwyn K

Had a great time here! I have celiac disease which can be very stressful when traveling. This place was suggested to me as they have protocols to avoid cross contamination. After placing my order a manager came over and said my waiter had let her know that I have an allergy/sensitivity and that they take it ver seriously. She said they work hard to ensure there is no cross contamination and that my food would come out with a red flag to confirm it is gluten free. This made me feel very comfortable as I didn’t even ask to talk to anyone they just did it! I had gluten free rigatoni alla vodka which was good. I was so happy with the service that I came back today for breakfast and had some of the best home fries I’ve ever had! Highly recommend this place, food, staff, and atmosphere are all great.

Greer Vinall

Absolutely recommend this place!! The cashier (Chris) was soo kind and helped me decide what to get. Got the grandezza and it was DELICIOUS!! They had TWO options for gluten free (bread & bagel) which is stellar. The staff were having a great time and catering to guests needs - which created such a fun atmosphere! Lots of laughter and smiles which we love to see. Will definitely be back to try more!!

Sarah Van Brackle

Was looking for somewhere to eat between going to Smithsonian’s. We needed somewhere with gluten free options and the gluten free crust was very good! (I can’t speak to if it’s celiac friendly) limited seating but we were looking for a quick stop, so this was exactly what we needed.

Alberto Zamorano

Under a medical recommendation I’ve decided to try a gluten free Margherita pizza, if you’re a celiac or gluten products may affect your health, 1st time doing so, it wasn’t bad but the taste is delicious although different which I can get use to it, the only issue that I found was that when ordering a Prosciutto topping it was very small and on the center for the most part instead of being spread out on the pie. The service was quick and good, real utensils and plenty of seating both inside and outside with 2 fire pits when it gets cold and a section for children so they can run and play.

Alyssa Woods

The menu is well marked for allergies. I order takeout and come here fairly often and never get sick as a symptomatic celiac.

Melanie Jackman

Absolutely fabulous experience. Our waitress was wonderful, customizing our "tour of the world" to accommodate my gluten allergy. Every single dish we had was amazing.

Vera Crowe

Meredith Porter

I enjoy the Royal for relatively celiac safe gluten free brunch. I haven’t tried their evening food options, but they do have lovely cocktails. It is a QR code type place, so fellow celiacs should ask for the gf menu before ordering and mark their dishes with gluten allergy/celiac. I’ve approached the counter before with questions and staff were chill and helpful. Good brunch spot, good first date spot on quiet evenings. The food and drinks are consistently tasty. I usually get one of the arepas for brunch. They usually seem to use Oatly, though I ask each time I order a coffee drink that has milk. Note, it is quite loud inside at busy times (and occasionally loud outside from sirens passing by). Recommend reservations for busy times.

Jess Peck

Obsessed with this place. Was in Dulles for two weeks and managed to get down to DC twice and went to District both times. I had their breakfast tacos the first time and their regular tacos and chips/guac the second time. You order on kiosks which is fun and easy and get to choose between like 25 different topping options. Their corn tortilla tacos come double wrapped and all bundled up together so they taste authentic and delicious. I got pretty much all the toppings. Their medium salsa is to die for. They have impossible chorizo and an option to select Gluten Free which was amazing. The guacamole was flavorful with a nice hint of lime. I love a good taco but these tacos were life changing🤌🏼

Olivia Brown

The chocolate torte is so incredibly delicious! A must-order! I am gluten free and they are very accommodating. The chocolate torte is gluten free, in addition to many of the pastas. We ordered the gluten free sausage and broccoli pasta, which was very good. The sausage is not spicy (which I like).

Ashley Steimel

Filomena is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in DC. Everything about it is delightful - the food, the service, the ambiance. Decorations are always changing for the season and so fun. The burrata appetizer is seriously one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, and they have delicious gluten free pasta. Love, love, love!!

Catherine Deitelbaum

The Rice Bar is a fun and delicious place to stop and get a quick meal! When you walk in, there is a wall where you can write an order for a custom rice or ramen bowl. They also have gluten free options, so there is a choice for everyone. You can see your bowl get prepared right in front of you and everything tastes so fresh. There is a wide range of toppings and sauces. Delicious!!!

Julie Collins

MJ welcomed us so warmly & our sunlit table became a family moment we will treasure. The food is exquisitely prepared & served … egg white frittata in the iron pot, gluten-free options as well. Delish drinks! Boys loved their chicken & waffles … and MJ’s instincts on making special moments is unmatched. A new favorite!
