The interior could use a little updating - but the food was delicious. Got the bang bang gluten free pizza, pepperoni gluten free and a plain cheese pizza (non gluten free). All was delicious and the employees were friendly.

I had to double check two different times to make sure this was actually gluten free… genius! Thank you!

GLUTEN WATCH: this food was very tasty but beware of cross contamination for items labeled gluten free. I ordered items that were labeled GF and was glutened. That being said, great service and the food was tasty!

I’m not usually a huge fan of Greek food (I mean, it’s fine, just not my favorite). When I saw this place makes homemade gluten free pita, I just HAD to try it and I am SO glad I did!! Not only the only gluten free fresh pita I’ve ever had, it was delicious. Everything g my husband and I ordered looked, smelled, and tasted fabulous. Will absolutely eat here again. I’ve you’re not overly familiar with Greek food and want to give it a try, start here! You won’t be disappointed.

Crunchy-ish Mama

Beautiful, and the food was delicious. I loved the look and the to go packaging was precious. So glad to have gluten free options as well.

One of the best combinations of high quality food, service and atmosphere in DC. They were accommodating for gluten free restrictions.

Ismael Bernier

Sarah Gonzalez

Excellent choices of different types of pizza!! Even offers a gluten free crust option!

Vera Cardinale

One of my favorite restaurants! They have incredible options for gluten and dairy-free diners. Veggies instead of bread for dips, homemade almond yogurt to replace any yogurt in entrees. We had the mini tasting menu and there were very few adjustments needed. Absolutely delicious, especially the squash side, the lamb chops, the chicken in yogurt-based sauce, the rice with carrots and raisins, and tasty cocktails. Warm, cozy ambiance with a frequent sitar player.

Great atmosphere and amazing service! Cool place to sit down and get some homework done. I was lucky enough to find a seat right away, but it was crowded- the place seems very popular! I got an iced oat milk latte with lavender and it was very good! I also got a gluten-free chocolate muffin, but it was honestly pretty dry, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Great experience, loved the floral themed decor. Great coffee, good gluten free options

Sadie Fischesser

We had a great meal here! There were lots of clearly marked vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options, which was important for our group. Everyone thought their meal was tasty and left satisfied. My only slight disappointment was that the drinks were from a can, but still tasted good!

This place is a must!!! Great options for gluten free! They also have vegan chili and turkey burgers. Ben's is iconic!!! Do not skip!

Axel Persinger

Really good gelato, staff had an infectiously happy mood, and explained to me how they were safe for gluten free! Will always come back here!

Kim Rodela

This is absolutely my favorite to eat. The manager here is amazing and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted in my bowl. All the staff was personable and friendly. They even helped my friend that had gluten issues. 100% would recommend

Alex Nongard

Excellent vegan and gluten free options. Super delicious and worth the extremely long wait.

Danielle Bennett

Asian dishes are sometimes hard to get gluten free but Beau Thai in Mount Pleasant had so many options! I was able to enjoy pad thai, tom kha soup, and parang curry. The real reason they earn these 5 stars is for the panang... this isn't a wimpy, runny curry but thick sauce with full flavor and depth. The pad thai was also peanut-y sweet which was perfect ti share with the kids. Would definitely eat here again.

Clinton Canady IV

Food, service, and ambiance were great! The starters -- grilled halloumi cheese bites and the cucumber-tomato-onion salad both came out lightning quick! The meats also arrived impressively fast! All the food was delicious and the off-menu fig-infused bourbon old fashioneds were sublime. Plenty of Gluten free options, vegetarian and vegan options 10/10 will be return for another meal!

Good GF chicken pad Thai with some gluten free options on the menu. A few GF appetizers and entrees. While I liked my meal, it had a fishy taste to it, which I found odd, but not at all bad. The regular pad Thai on the menu is with shrimp, so I wondered if that might be why. This little place is next to CityCenter. Great location.

Izuchi Okezie

Good Gluten free options

Lovely experience at Maydan! I’ve eaten here twice now and did a choose your own the first time and the prepared Tawle meal the second time. Enjoyed both immensely! The service is wonderful and was very accommodating of a gluten allergy. The food is amazing but you will go home with leftovers!!! Cannot recommend enough for a fancy date or celebratory dinner.

Joia Burgers on Wisconsin Ave (DC) serves a tasty smashed burger on a fluffy potato bun with melty American cheese. The Joia Toppings were fresh and flavorful, but the Papaya Salad topping didn’t sit well with me 🤢. They offer gluten-free buns for $0.50. The burger was solid, but a bit overpriced for what it is. The Ube soft serve was fun but lacked enough magnolia vanilla flavor for that rich, creamy texture. Ambience was quiet for a Friday, but the customer service was outstanding—friendly and attentive!

Best gluten free crust I’ve ever had!!! And I asked for Parmesan cheese instead of mozzarella and they happily substituted that for me! Yummy!

My friend Sonal brought us here and it did not disappoint. The staff was superb and food delicious. It's clean, nice ambiance, nice for occasion or casual meal. The menu clearly distinguishes between vegetarian, vegan and gluten free if different diets are a concern. Everyone can find something to enjoy and the staff was so great we never felt rushed on a busy Saturday night.

Kate Midden

Love this local spot! Great food, great drinks, the service and community here is fab. A perfect place to connect with your people during or after a long week. Also their breakfast tacos are the best in the city. :) I’m gluten free and it’s always super easy on that front too. Recommend!

Amy Fettig

One of the best bakeries in DC - or anywhere!! The bread and pastries are exceptional - I never thought a whole wheat croissant could be that good! The baguettes stay fresh for days due to the fresh grind of the flour. And don’t miss the bird bread! I’m not gluten free and I still buy it.

I've been wanting to try this place for over a year and it was worth the wait. Initially I found it when looking for gluten free friendly restaurants and it had great reviews. A lot of their dishes can be made gluten free including some pastas. This place was *cozy* but modern. Great atmosphere especially if you go during a quiet time. We went at 830 which was perfect cuz the rush was over and we got a great table. Service was great,very attentive and great recommendations. I even asked for a recommendation on champagne/prosecco and they ended up bringing me a sample of something not even on the menu yet which was exactly the taste I wanted. We both got steak, the NY strip and filet. We both agreed that these were the best steaks we've had in a very long time. My partner got the strip med-rare and it was *actually* medium rare. We got the fried pork belly app and Brussel sprouts app. I don't even like Brussel sprouts... like low key hate them but these were GOOD. I could see this place being a place that's not great when super busy. It's not a big restaurant and some of the tables were pretty tight. So I definitely recommend a reservation and going during a less busy time if possible. Will definitely be coming back

Very tasty and healthy food. Gluten free!

Liliana Manzano

I had an absolutely amazing experience! The service was top-notch, and the food was just as impressive. There’s a great variety of smoothies and juice options to choose from, which was a nice bonus. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming—it truly felt like a place where you could relax and enjoy your time. A special shoutout to Gisell from the management team—she was so sweet and made my experience feel even more authentic and personal. As someone with celiac disease, I really appreciated how attentive she was. Gisell took the time to walk me through the menu and show me what gluten-free options were available, which made me feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing more family and friends with me!

Burger as salad concept is amazing. For a Gluten free option, I was not mad about this. Also, the nachos were really good.
