Malee’s Thai is located in the heart of old town Scottsdale. The food is authentic and prices are reasonable. They can make many dishes vegan or gluten free and the portion sizes are generous. I have a decent bar with many options. I would highly recommend trying it!

Without a doubt the best Gluten Free pizza I’ve ever had - more fluffy crust, incredible flavor. If you are craving a good pizza but can’t do gluten, this is your place. This place was hopping and it took all but 10 min to get our food.
Brandon was our server and he did AMAZING! It was a Saturday night though not very busy inside dining, yet the door dash and other deliveries are slamming the restaurant and it felt like he was virtually running the whole front of the restaurant by himself, making drinks for people, serving us very well, and assuring my girlfriend with her gluten free and vegetarian options as well as ensuring I was able to customize my order which tasted beyond what I’ve eaten before. I’ve had a lot of carne asada but their burrito customized with the carne asada is immaculate! We love the area and we can’t pass on such incredible service from Brandon and the quality of the food! Great atmosphere and gluten free / vegetarian options!
IMO the best thing on their menu is the bruschetta board and I was so excited when I found out that they have a gluten free bread substitute for it. I’m not sure what kind of gf bread they use but it’s incredible, it actually sticks together and doesn’t crumble apart! It’s so good that my non-gf friends will split an order with me cause they say they can’t really taste a difference.
This server Ryan is an absolute 10/10! The performance is lightning-fast, with minimal flaws and seamless functionality. The atmosphere is family friendly, and the reliability is unmatched—no crashes or downtime. I am also gluten free and have a peanut and Ryan was very tending to those needs and made lunch go smoothly! Highly recommended!
Chef Sandra and her team went above & beyond catering for my husband’s 40th event. We had guests that were celiac and they were so accommodating in being food safe to ensure no contamination. There were so many amazing GF menu options. The food arrived hot and was cooked perfectly. Not only did they provide amazing quality food but their service and friendliness was 10/10. I highly recommend this restaurant and will absolutely be eating here again!
Delicious food! Had the salmon pastey and bangers and mash pastey, both were great. And the old fashioned was perfect. Would give a 5 if they offered gluten friendly options.
Love the morning buzz! Super yummy! I did get a gluten free breakfast wrap but the wrap was a bit dry. Still good flavor! Whenever I am in PHX it’s a go to for me.

I have celiac. We discussed the issue extensively with the server who assured me I was in a good spot and all would be fine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. They messed up the order and brought out a wonton taco plated with the corn taco and the server advised the entire plate was gluten free. Only after eating the wonton did I discover the issue. The server apologized and contacted a manager. That’s where things took a bad turn. The manager, a very young blonde female, who clearly couldn’t be bothered with severe food allergies, came out, referred to the situation as a “small issue”, proceeded to blame me, and then offered three separate excuses for why this happened. Setting aside that each excuse was unsatisfactory, it was abundantly clear neither she, or the restaurant, took food allergies seriously. My valentines date/dinner was entirely ruined, not to mention a very expensive trip to Arizona, for which I am only on day 1 and will inevitably spend the rest of the trip in the hotel bathroom. Despite being celiac, I’m a foodie and eat in some of the best restaurants across the country. This may be some of the worst service, and particularly management, I’ve ever seen.
I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods.
After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one.
We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.)
Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens.
She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill.
Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.
Genuinely some of the best vegan food around. The owner and family are very friendly. Almost everything can be modified gluten free (which doesn’t fall apart or taste bad). Even brought people who eat meat and they loved it. The fries are also great, highly recommend! Don’t even have pictures because we always eat it right away since it’s so good
Such a wonderful place to have a lovely Thai meal.
The staff was super friendly, very kind and accommodating to my dietary preferences.
Being gluten-free and vegetarian often makes it difficult to find restaurants that accommodate however they were very kind and were able to make a delicious meal based on my preferences
Visited AZ & was in search of clean, delicious food! They don’t use any seed oils, soy, dairy, or gluten in their products, and their staff is the kindest. They can answer any questions about their products and offer other local food recommendations. I went there three times during my visit because I knew what I was getting was clean and delicious!!
