The food is sooo delicious. 😋 I just discovered their gluten free Calamari, dredged in chickpeas. Soooo yum. 😋 Everything I have eaten here has been wonderful. And the service matches the food. 💕

Food was delicious, healthy, and reasonably priced. It was also very nice to not have to worry about gluten when ordering. Definitely coming back again.

I am gluten intolerant so I ordered a gluten free egg roll and usually Asian noodles don’t bother me so I ordered lo mein noodles. A few minutes after they confirmed my order with DoorDash Josh called and said “I noticed you ordered a gluten free egg roll and our lo mein noodles. The lo mein noodles have gluten but I have gluten free noodles so I wanted to call and double check.” I am a middle school teacher and can’t always get a break so it was SO NICE to have someone make sure my intolerances are respected.

Fantastic Indian restaurant! I have gluten dairy and soy allergies and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable of what was safe for me. And it was delicious.

Yall! This is the place! Fellow vegetarians/vegans, this is an incredible spot to check out. Blue has an extensive vegan sushi menu & it is DIVINE. I have never had any sushi I’ve enjoyed, so I was uncertain at first. I met my parents here for dinner since they are huge sushi lovers & I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was absolutely some of the best food I’ve had in a minute at a restaurant as a vegetarian. Started off with the charred edamame, bc who doesn’t love a great bowl of edamame before dinner? I use to not love sushi bc of the seaweed wrap, so I was happy to know they had alternatives, soy rice paper & cucumber. I enjoyed their Thai & Crunchy Cabbagge rolls. I was shocked at how much I loved sushi, even went back a day later lol. Everything was super tasty. The flavors & textures were everything!!! Not only was the food great, but I highly recommend sitting at the bar. Our bartender Gabrielle provided excellent service. My family & I appreciated your kindness! Gabrielle was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. My mom is gluten free & we are always grateful when our server is eager to help & knows how to accommodate. Thank you for your service, can’t wait to come back!

Gina Gray

Excellent service and fresh food with gluten free and vegan options. Emma is the BEST server - she is very knowledgeable about ingredients and made great recommendations based on our likes. Owners Toey and Jay are so friendly and accommodating. Give them a try… you will not be disappointed!

Writing this review for our server, Will. He was very attentive in our needs, especially for Carol who has a Gluten allergy. He helped her with the menu and explained everything in detail. He insured that she received what she asked for and made sure everything was not contaminated for her. He took very good care of our table and made sure we had everything we needed. Please give him a raise because you have a gold mine working for you that really cares for the customer. Please tell him thank you again from Carol, Walt, Jennie and Greg.

The use of the building is pretty cool. Bar is hidden somewhat from main dining area. Food presentation is cool. Had the eggs to start. They were vey good with a tangy taste. Ordered a poutine to split. Came out in a large bowl. Unfortunately the burnt ends were laden with nothing but salt and made this inedible. Sent it back and it was replaced with cornbread at no charge( nice call on management to make things right). The cornbread was good but not to my liking. No sweetness of corn or even a hint of it mostly cornmeal taste. I felt like I was eating Bobs Red Mill gluten free product and was turned off. The meatloaf and mashed potatoes were the highlight especially the gravy. Both well done. Our waitress was younger and absent most of the meal but could be seen hanging out behind the wall at the bar area. I would return if back in the area to try again.

My kids loved the food here. I am gluten free and they were super helpful with my order to make sure I ordered what I can eat. The food and service were awesome and I would highly recommend!

Kirsten Verleen

absolutely delicious, with lots of gluten free options. 10/10!!

Craig Scarboro

Food is always amazing. Service is great as well. Also gluten-free friendly for celiac as well.

Erin McInerney

WOW! They have a gluten free menu as well as several vegetarian and vegan options. We ordered the yellow beef curry and the green curry chicken. Both were gluten free and out of this world. So full of flavor and the perfect amount of spice. We will definitely be back.

Ginny Marean

Zach S was very attentive, helpful and when we questioned items that were gluten free he answered and made suggestions. Was my 1st time there and will be back. Louisville shelbyville roadlocation very nice.

5-Star Experience at Everest Nepalese & Indian Cuisine My wife and I had dinner here last night with a friend, and everything from start to finish was outstanding. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and offered our choice of seating—we chose a spot near the large glass windows, which offered plenty of natural light and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is impressive—packed with delicious-sounding options. We started with the chicken and vegetable *Sadheko Momo*—if you've never had momo, it's similar to a dumpling. These were bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and somehow both fresh and satisfying. A fantastic start to the meal. For dinner, we shared the *Newari Khaja Set* (which is gluten-free), and it was truly a feast: beaten rice with a wasabi-like kick, chicken choila, piroo aloo, vegetable curry, sautéed black-eyed peas, soybean sadeko, fried egg, lentil pancake (bara), tomato achaar, papadum, and dessert. Every bite offered a new flavor to appreciate. The egg added a crispy touch, and the curry was deeply flavorful. The dessert—imagine a sweet hush puppy in a pool of maple syrup—was the perfect ending. Service was excellent: our server was kind, attentive without hovering, and gave us time to enjoy everything at a relaxed pace. If you're a fan of Indian or Nepalese cuisine—or just love trying something new—Everest is a must. We’ll definitely be back!

Had to try some Thai in our area and I had heard from a fellow foodie to check out “Simply Thai” in Middletown. This location was easy to get too, easy to park, and the restaurant is nice and clean with a fun tropical theme to it. The staff were young, but courteous, timely and attentive. My wife has actually visited Thailand twice, and she was impressed with the menu selection and authenticity of our dishes taste and her sweet peach boba tea that she had. Which although the large tea was $7, it was VERY good, and I’ve had many a southern sweet tea too. She said that it reminded her of the tea in Thailand, some of the best she’s ever had! And we travel a lot. We had just one appetizer, the “curry puffs” (picture taken). Which were very good, enough to share for two. And although their food does not look like much, they are power packed with flavor! The curry puffs were sweet, crunchy, and the cucumber dip was very good. Highly recommended, I bet the “satay” appetizer is also delicious; we will have to try that another time. For the main dish, we each ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, at a spicy 2 (picture included). Again, the dish does not look like much and the portion was MASSIVE! Enough to make an Italian eatery blush. Honestly, me and my wife could have split it between the two of us, but hey, left overs are good too! Beware, I would consider spicy level 2 to be at the highest “spice” that most people could probably still find palatable but any hotter and your tongue will be in for a lava treatment. Unless you are into that, but if it’s your first time eating Thai food, stick to 0-2 in spicy. They will also give free samples of their spices to taste and choose which one you would like too. Their menu was good, with many many options to add toppings, change meat to seafood to Tofu and even adding ingredients a plenty. They have multiple vegan and gluten free dishes and offerings too. However, regarding their menu, you can also customize your dishes if you wish, but some of the additional toppings were expensive. Such as adding olive oil to your dish is an extra $1.50, or others seemed a tad bit odd. I did rate the restaurant as a 4/5 because I am honest and don’t like to hand out too many 5/5s. The reasons why I rated this 4/5 was because of a few reasons: 1. Seating in the booths was uncomfortable, with the bottom of the booths falling off or unglued every time I shifted I felt like it might slide off. Not the end of the world, but they should fix those ASAP. 2. Their drink menu leaves more to be desired. Such as more beer options, more soda options, or having sugar free options. 3. The Pad Thai was served way too hot! Not the “spice”, but the actual temperature of the noodles was borderline scolding. So much of it we had to wait to eat, or blow on them to cool them down. But once the temp went down after 10 mins, it was easier and more enjoyable to eat. 4. A better dessert menu could use improvement. Such as maybe frozen yogurt options or some sort of a chocolate delectable would be nice. But they only have sweet rice and a deep fried banana. I know most Thai restaurants don’t have much for dessert, but it could make for a fun way to differentiate themselves from their competition. Check it out! It is good food! I hope they see my recommendations and consider solutions if they so choose too!

This Thai restaurant was fantastic!! We are from out of town and my husband has to eat gluten free. They can do almost the whole menu gluten free and were very knowledgeable about it. This is great because many of the restaurants in the area don't really know what gluten free truly means or can not accommodate. The ingredients were super fresh and it was delicious! I had the drunken noodles and my husband had the Jungle Curry. The servers were very attentive as well. Best restaurant we have been to in a while. If we are ever in town again, we will go back!

Joshua Moon

If you're in search of an authentic, incredibly delicious Thai experience with a unique atmosphere, this is the place to be. We've sampled many Thai restaurants, and this one stands out as one of our favorites. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, with plenty of parking available. The prices are very reasonable, with dishes averaging around $15. They also cater to dietary needs with gluten-free and soy-free options! The service was exceptional; Eric was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful in guiding us through the menu and answering all our questions. We will definitely be returning for years to come.

I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac disease & have had a very hard time finding restaurants that are Celiac friendly, much less good. Most of their menu is or can be prepared gluten free. I had the Pad Thai & it was OFF THE CHAIN DELICIOUS!!! It was the best Pad Thai I have EVER eaten by a mile. Waitress was very helpful & the place was spotless.

Heather O'Malley

Very tasty Thai food. Excellent Gluten free options

Jay Jay

We love this place, authentic food, clean, friendly helpful staff. I eat a gluten free diet and they understand how important that is when ordering. The food is consistent, as I expect each time. My favorites are fried rice, and pho noodle bowl. The vegetable broth is delicious...I wish they sold it by the quart, but they don't.

Hannah Jones

Owner has celiac! Goes above and beyond in accommodations and has made this restaurant one of my favorite and safest spots in this city!

Jerry Bright

The chef went out of his way to cook personally for my husband who is gluten intolerant. Makes a meal quite delightful. One of our favorite places to eat. And Cece outdoes herself also. Hugs to all

This is my favorite restaurant in Louisville across all categories. Atmosphere: Many restaurants play jacked up music and I can't wait to leave. As soon as I walk into Shalimar I relax. The Indian sitar accompanied music is so pleasant. Even though this is a popular restaurant I've never had to wait for seating, as seating is abundant. The restaurant is clean. The environment is just so peaceful. Service - My family and I have eaten here about 40 times. The service has always been attentive without being over-solicitous. Food - Consistently good every time. We have vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the family. Both are well served. Some of us are gluten free and no dairy and find abundant choices.

Emily Rose

Wonderful people and food! Beautiful and clean restaurant! Gluten free options available, too!!

If you're new to the area or just love sushi, this NEEDS to be your go-to spot for dine in or take out. We've been trying all the sushi places in our area of Lexington and this is BY FAR the best one for quality, presentation, cost, and service. We've done take out here a couple times so far and we just came to dine in and we will probably dine in more often than not going forward! The place may not look very big from the outside but it has a great atmosphere inside and is a fantastic option. They also have Gluten free options and Gluten free soy sauce as well. You won't regret it! I'll be telling everyone about this place and coming back often.

Coty Howard

Went through drive thru and asked about gluten free options for sushi. The person at the window took great care and consideration for my dietary restrictions as I placed my order. Thank you!

Leonard Meador

Angela Biggs

Isaac is a wonderful sever! i’m allergic to gluten so they did have a gluten-free option which was wonderful as well! Such a nice restaurant!!

Isabella Lugo

Food is fantastic but I wish their menu specified which options contain gluten.

Libby Berman

A celiac can eat here. The servings are huge& the staff caring. Take out is extremely well done here. Outside seating.Dog friendly. I really recommend Joy Luck.

Cinda Kelly

Gluten-free options on tasty food. We love it

Ryan Davis

Great dining experience with fantastic flavors. Excellent dining options, even with dietary restrictions, with choices for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and dairy free! Call ahead with your order for takeout, our go inside and enjoy the table service.

Brianna Berry

Namnam Cafe is a great place to eat! The restaurant itself is very cozy and cute, and they have an outdoor seating area as well as indoor! With drinks, they have specials that change and you can order all kinds of flavors of bubble tea and coffee! I think their menu is pretty big for a Vietnamese restaurant (others I’ve been to only have about half of what Namnam has). I ordered a pineapple bubble tea and to eat, I got the Saigon noodles with chicken. I love how they specify that they can make this dish gluten free, because that can sometimes be a concern with noodle dishes! The food came out quickly and was fresh and hot! It was the perfect about of spice for someone who can’t handle too spicy. The pineapple bubble tea was the perfect balance between sweet and tangy - it reminded me of a pineapple whip dessert! I will be coming back to Namnam in the future!!

Katherine Kubarek

Best Asian restaurant in Lexington! They have so many gluten free options on their menu. Food is always so fresh and delicious! If you haven’t tried them, please do!

Matthew Howe

What a great meal! The service was great. He was knowledgeable and supportive as it was our 1st visit. The food was fresh and yummy. They have safe gluten-free options as well.

Chuck Stovall

I appreciated the gluten-free menu! I was able to support my best friend after he was recently diagnosed with celiac's disease. Our meals were delicious AND healthy.

Pamela Isaacs

Loved that they had some gluten free options

Robert Wine

This is a good restaurant and a reasonable price. It's a buffet style (with a menu also), so PLENTY of tasty items and variety. The staff seems very dedicated to keeping their customers happy. As an added bonus, they can provide gluten free food and seem happy to assist those affected by that.

Ashlie Macy

Very accommodating! Was able to modify my meal to be gluten and dairy free. Modified sushi roll to my son's liking. Super friendly staff. Service was quick and food was very good!

susan b

We've always had good food and service here, but they just made me even more impressed by having gluten free soy and eel sauce!

Daniel Nichols

Erin Brady

The food we had was very good - fresh, well cooked and good quality. The menu is extensive and they said most of it can be made gluten free. We had gluten free pad Thai and gluten free beef and broccoli. Service was a little slow and distracted, but not so much that we wouldn't go again. Definitely a good option for high quality Chinese food.

My Account

They have the best chinese food in Winchester. The food is fresh and they always accommodate special requests so it is just the way you like it. They will even prepare gluten free dishes if requested. The staff is friendly and the prices are modest.

Mathis Smyth

Hong Kong chowmein is superb! If you're gluten free, order from the authentic menu.

Elicia P

Great options. They do offer gluten free you just have to inform them as they have a gf soy sauce. Portions are decent and taste was spot on.

Ryan Eggert

Staff was great and very attentive. I had the tofu teriyaki and was very pleased. My family had a14 piece assorted sushi dish and was very happy. Miso soup and salad was good too. They have gluten free soy sauce.
