I have been on the hunt for some yummy gluten free goodies, as many gluten free options just don't hit the spot.
Well ... Today I purchased a peanut butter, marshmallow brownie and it was simply delicious. You wouldn't have even known it was gluten free as it tasted Amazing !!
Thank you - I will be back xx
First time coming here and loved it so much!! The staff are lovely and they have lots of gluten free options including cakes and cookies 🍪 🍰definitely will be coming back
*THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE TAKEAWAY SERVICE ONLY* We started ordering from Namaste several years ago when I became coeliac, and they were the only place that provided safe Indian food in central Norwich. The food itself is generally lovely, super high quality and very tasty- although as a warning even the lowest spice level is quite high coming from someone with a medium tolerance for heat.
However the true disappointing thing about Namaste is its takeaway service. Pretty much every time we order from here there is an item missing from the order (breads, rice, sometimes a curry dish). If there isn't an item missing, the order is late. Not ten or twenty minutes late, generally well over an hour late, to the point where the food is arriving well into the evening and generally stone cold. On each occasion it is late, we phone up to ask where it is and get told "it'll be a few minutes", or fobbed off in some other way, and lo and behold no food arrives. Utterly disappointing service. Refunds and compensation are generally not offered either.
Again, this is just a review for the takeaway service, and as I gather eating in the restaurant itself is a much better experience. If you're looking for high quality Indian takeaway in Norwich, take your money elsewhere.
Excellent experience!
Staff super friendly and knowledgeable.
Loads of gluten free options and the eggs Benedict was utterly delicious, as was the freshly squeezed OJ.
Would definitely recommend and will go again next time I visit Norwich
Fabulous menu, especially as whole menu is gluten & dairy free (which i am). Food was incredible. Service was a little slow, we also had to move tables. Would definitely go back again.
Visited ASK today to celebrate father's day and had a very pleasant experience, our waitress Zara was an amazing host, very attentive and accommodating to my mum's gluten intolerance. My mum was very happy with the gluten free menu which had loads of options, and the food was delicious. Shoutout to Hamish as well, who was also incredibly helpful. Overall a great experience, would definitely go again! Thank you both :)
Booked in advance. Stated that we needed gluten free. Arrived at restaurant to be told there was no gluten free pizzas and no gluten free chips. Had the spaghetti bolognaise which was watery and under cooked.
Went for dinner with some colleagues at Zizzi Norwich. I am vegan (due to allergies) and gluten intolerant. I checked the allergen guide/menu well in advance and saw multiple options I could have including a pizza, 2 pasta dishes, sweet potato fries, regular fries, and strawberry sorbet. My group of colleagues very kindly selected this restaurant due to the number of options apparently available to me which was very kind of them. On entering the restaurant, we were asked for any allergies and I advised I am vegan + gluten free and was told this was no issue at all and reassured. I ordered the vegan non-gluten margherita pizza, to then be told there’s no vegan cheese so this was not possible. I then asked for one of the vegan non-gluten pasta dishes, and was told there’s no gluten free pasta so neither were possible. I then asked for the sweet potato fries, and was told this was not possible either. The waiter then advised they would give me 2 portions of regular fries at no charge which was kind. These portions, while doubled and very tasty, were still quite small and not filling at all while surrounded by people with good portioned meals. We also asked for a jug of water for the table when we ordered drinks and did not receive this, so had to ask again when we ordered desserts. For dessert, I spotted that the strawberry sorbet was suitable for me without needing any adjustments, so I ordered 2 scoops. My colleague sat next to me ordered the same for dessert and the same number of scoops, however when the bill came we saw that she was charged less for the same product, and mine said vegan sorbet, even though the strawberry sorbet was vegan anyway. Initially I thought I had been charged for an extra scoop by accident, but saw the bill listed 2 scoops so the number was correct, so I was being charged the price of 3 scoops for the exact same (no adjustments) product as someone else because there was an awareness of my allergies. It is already embarassing enough attending social food events, and I never expect people to cater to my dietary needs because I know it is difficult, but to be advertised multiple products and reassured on entry, for almost none of these to be available, and then charged extra for the same product as someone else when it did not even need to be adjusted is unacceptable and was incredibly embarrassing. I know I could have challenged the bill before leaving, but I was so embarrassed and let down by the whole evening that was meant to be a special employment anniversary event for my colleagues, that I just paid it on the QR code so I could leave as quickly as possible. I am not one to make complaints ever, and my dietary needs are my own issue and nobody else’s, but if you can’t provide a service, don’t advertise it, so that people with dietary requirements have a chance to find an alternative place to go. The staff were very kind and apologetic, but unfortunately that does not stop me going hungry, so would like to leave this review in hope this changes in future and that dietary needs alternatives are kept stocked, and as a heads up to other people with dietary needs that this may not be the best place to go.
Excellent coeliac-friendly all day breakfast place, gorgeous views of Elm Hill and the cobbled streets. Really appreciated the care and attention in making sure it was gluten free. Very dog friendly, my two pups had a lovely time watching people walk past! Definitely book ahead if you can.
Excellent vegan food that can be adapted to gluten free easily. friendly staff and very fair price for healthy, ethical and tasty food. Would highly recommend.
