Hutong Dubai

Had an amazing time at Hutong. The staff were super attentive and knowledgeable. I suffer from a gluten allergy and the team were very accommodating and managed to make most things on the menu suitable for me. Overall had a great time.

Me and my friend chose this restaurant for an Iftar dinner on March 29th as when we called them to book they assured me that they were celiac-friendly and could cater for it. I have celiac disease and am also pregnant, so I need to be extremely careful with what I eat. Before eating any single dish, I double-checked with both the waiter and the manager on duty to confirm that everything was 100% gluten-free. They reassured me that the dishes were safe but when they served me the shrimp with Chinese bread, I was having doubts and asked the manager to re-confirm with the chef if it was gluten-free. He came back and told me it was. The moment I ate it, I started vomiting for 20 minutes. Later, another waiter told us the bread was actually not gluten-free. The manager then apologized, admitting their mistake. This wasn’t just a small error—it was a serious risk to my health and my pregnancy. If a restaurant claims to be celiac-friendly, they need to take it seriously. I’m extremely disappointed and hope they improve their awareness and practices.
