Extremely celiacs concious and attentive! There weren't any on menu soups that were gf vegetarian/pescatarian options, so the kitchen staff and manager David personalized a great soup I could eat. I think anyone with celiacs will feel very safe eating here, and especially reccomend for gluten free people that eat meat!

We stopped in here during our visits in New haven. This establishment boasts an appealing atmosphere with a charming ambience. The service is courteous, although the waitstaff, while kind, may be preoccupied. Consideration for a designated server could enhance attentiveness. The cappuccino is commendable. Among the crepes, the Norvegienne, featuring smoked salmon, lacks a harmonious flavor profile with the buckwheat base. However, the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe proves delightful. While I would revisit, I suggest avoiding the savory buckwheat crepes, as they may not align with personal preferences, though they may appeal to those seeking a gluten-free option. Be prepared to smell like a crepe when leaving. Bathroom is in a very weird location with scary movie vibes.

I have multiple food allergies and intolerances, including milk and gluten, and this place is a dream come true for me. I had one scoop vanilla and one scoop pistachio-almond in a bowl, with a gluten-free dark matter cone. My partner had the coquito flavored one, which tasted just like real coquito. The vanilla was everything a vanilla icecream should be and more. It was seriously the most perfectly balanced vanilla icecream. The pistachio-almond had a delightful sweet toasted almond flavor, with the pistachio being more subtle, that reminded me of pignoli cookies. There were a liberal amount of almonds in the icecream. The cone itself was fantastic. Nobody would know it was gluten-free without notification. The 45-minute commute was well worth the effort, and we definitely plan to return.

Excellent menu with a wide selection of options including gluten free and vegan. The cocktails are awesome too, it's a great place to grab a quick drink, a quick bite, or to eat and chat for a long time

Had a great meal at Marco Polo Pizzeria in New Haven! The gluten-free pizza was honestly one of the best I’ve had crispy, flavorful, and really satisfying. Also tried a gluten-free wrap and it was just as tasty. Super friendly staff and cozy vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

Food was wonderful! Great flavors, many gluten free options, service excellent- attentive and warm and friendly. Waiter Lucas was terrific! Would have liked music to be a little lower, a bit loud for conversation.

Such a fun and delicious spot right in downtown New Haven! I stopped by T-Swirl for the first time and was super impressed. The crepes are made with a rice flour batter, so they’re naturally gluten-free and come out thin, crispy, and beautifully wrapped like a cone—perfect for eating on the go or dining in. I ordered the Strawberry Nutella and the Crème Brûlée with Banana—both were amazing! The strawberry Nutella was packed with fresh fruit and the perfect amount of sweetness. The crème brûlée crepe had a creamy custard with that classic caramelized sugar top, and the banana just made it even better. Total dessert heaven! Ordering was really easy with their touchscreen kiosks, and even though it got busy, the service was fast and friendly. The inside is clean, modern, and cozy, though it’s more of a casual grab-and-go vibe than a full sit-down meal experience. Definitely coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something different, fresh, and fun!

Beautiful establishment, attentive staff. Flavors of the meals are out of this world. I had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. Will absolutely be back soon! Gluten free options. Greatly gifted chef. Drinks were SO tasty too! I got the tuna, got it as the chef recommended. My friend ordered the salmon. Was so good! Almond cake, get it if you can!

Jewel Okwuosa

5 star all around! Massaman chicken and the Saigon rolls, WOW, compliments to the chef!! I love that most items are gluten free. The flavor profile is out of this world and an explosion of flavor. The atmosphere is moody and romantic. Food came out in the blink of an eye and waitress let us enjoy our meals in peace (rare for the US). We WILL be back. My new favorite spot!

Excellent coffee and yummy breakfast! They accommodated my gluten allergies with no issue! If you’re staying at the Omni on Temple Street, this is by far a superior option to their 19th Floor breakfast at a fraction of the cost.

Delicious vegan and gluten free options. Falafel is the best I’ve ever had. The fresh OJ is a must order. Havenly is absolutely amazing and I hope they can expand. An elegant casual restaurant, it’s the perfect place to meet friends and family or hang out with a book. Can’t wait to come back.

The familiar aromas of cumin, cardamom and clove greet you upon entering Sitar Restaurant in New Haven, where northern Indian cuisine has found a comfortable home amid contemporary décor. Exposed brick walls contrast with white pillars and ceiling, while caramel-toned chairs and navy upholstered booths create a modern yet inviting atmosphere. On a recent visit, the lamb vindaloo arrived in a traditional metal bowl, its reddish-brown sauce glistening under the restaurant's soft lighting. Each spoonful delivered the dish's signature heat, tempered by tender chunks of lamb and brightened with fresh cilantro. The accompanying basmati rice, adorned simply with carrot slivers and herbs, provided the necessary counterpoint to the robust curry. The garlic naan deserves special mention. Pulled from the tandoor at the precise moment, it arrives with the ideal balance of char and chew, its surface bubbled and glistening with a whisper of butter and garlic. Sitar's menu extends beyond these standards to include chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh and saag paneer, all prepared with an eye toward authenticity rather than adaptation. Vegetarian and gluten-free options appear throughout the offerings, reflecting a thoughtful consideration for diverse dietary needs. The service strikes that delicate balance between attentiveness and restraint. Water glasses remain filled, empty plates disappear promptly, and questions about spice levels receive honest answers rather than default reassurances. Some diners have noted occasional delays during peak hours, though the quality of the food generally compensates for any wait. Others praise the restaurant's delivery service, which reportedly arrives with food still steaming in secured packaging. Sitar operates daily during lunch and dinner hours, with a brief afternoon closure. Prices remain reasonable for the portion size, with most entrees allowing for tomorrow's lunch — a value proposition that, like the restaurant itself, satisfies without unnecessary flourish.
