Fabulous gluten free deliciosness

We were very excited to eat here since I have had many good experiences with wagamama in the past. They also had a gluten-free menu to cater for my partner's allergies which was appreciated. However, from the moment we were sat down the waiters handled my partner's allergies in an unprofessional and borderline discriminatory manner: apparently regular waiters aren't fit to take orders from gluten-free people so in an utterly bizarre twist we had one waiter take my order and a manager taking my partner's. She was even given a "gluten" sticker so that (I quote) "no-one would come near her". They succeeded in making my partner the saddest thing in the room - that is, until our food arrived. My partner ordered a relatively bland-if-inoffensive curry with a mound of rice, which inexplicably had a lime wedge buried inside. It also contained squares of what she said was tofu, although I was convinced it was plasterboard. I, on the other side of the bench, had a plate of noodles and raw vegetables, featuring a mouthful of raw red onion that has left such a strong taste in my mouth that I'll probably pass it on to my future children. The act of eating raw onions was almost as eye-watering as the bill. Overall, our experience was very disappointing - one star is given for the free green tea.
