cute Japanese gluten free cafe Loved their vege tempura noodles! Really fresh ingredients and clear but flavorful broth They also have mochi, donuts, sushi rolls, onigiris to choose from

My girlfriend is a celiac and am so thankful they put effort and time in catering for my requirements. We had a wide variety of choices to choose from and the food came out amazing. Would definitely come again.

Mia Hawley

Love the food here, lots of coeliac safe options. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable about coeliac disease, and have always been helpful!

Mia Hawley

They have an entire GF menu with extensive options, and it’s all really delicious! One of my favourites in the area for GF Thai

Ri F

The food is always incredible, dine in or takeout they never miss! About 90% of the menu is gluten free. I have coeliac disease and I’ve only had great experiences here and always feel safe eating their food. Highly recommend for anyone gluten free

Mia Hawley

Their whole menu was almost all GF, barring a couple of things that were not made in house. Delicious food, and very friendly staff!

Elena Corso

All the food is vegan and gluten free. Set menu is very convenient and there is plenty of food. Definitely recommended if you have allergies or follow a vegetarian/vegan diet. Staff are nice and welcoming, definitely gonna go back!

Chris Kerr

Coeliac safe. Delicious. Great service and atmosphere

Talea Foley

Great knowledge of coeliacs. Will offer gluten free bread and ensure gluten free pasta is not cross contaminated when cooked in kitchen. Amazing quality. Just be wary if ordering a drink, they do use “pasta” straws.

John Aranki

We had the banquet to share. As a gluten intolerant diner, the owner happily changed a few dishes to suit my dietary requirements. I was thrilled to have tried the gluten free focaccia with zucchini fritti and almond ricotta. WOW, just YUM!! I couldn’t believe how soft and flavourful it was. Do yourself a favour and get some. Absolutely delicious. I’d go back again and again. It was so good we forgot to take pictures, now that’s saying something!!

Ri F

All food here is gluten free! I’ve dined here several times as a coeliac and felt very safe. Thank you!

Mia Hawley

All of their curries are GF and really delicious!

Authentic pizza place in new town! Service was alright - but what do you expect at a local pizza shop eh? The choices of pizza were limited - if you’re a big fan of meat (loves meat lover like i do!) this is probably not a good place that you should choose. The menus were mainly vegetarians - and probably just 1 to 2 pizzas with meat. Pizza - Diavola - taste really good with the pizza base, it will always be better to go for more meats! Another special about this place is eggplant parmigiana, this is a gluten free dish and very delicious indeed. You can see the layers of eggplants and the flavor of it were super on point.

Kate Gee

What an amazing place. Food was yummy and so fresh and tasty. Atmosphere was fun and playful. Service was amazing and our waitress knew her food and menu and helped us select foods. Was also able to adjust for gluten free which was great. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

My wife is vegan and I like to join her when she wants to eat at vegan only places. Most places are pretty boring and gimmicky, especially around Newtown where it seems people just give 5 stars because they're excited that another vegan restaurant has opened, even if it's really bad (and there's plenty of bad ones...). But Golden Lotus is fantastic! Easily on par, if not better than most Asian restaurants I've been to! I now make it a habit to go there often and try something new each time. Personally, I don't like the whole fake meat thing, plus it generally contains gluten, which I'm allergic to, so I stick with tofu dishes instead. They're not bad, it's just that if you're going to quit meat, then why bother with fake meat? Bothers me... Real vegan food doesn't need to contain fake meat. Real vegan food is just beautifully prepared plants with outstanding flavours, and there is plenty of that going around. The fake meat thing is a gimmick, and generally way over priced. I'll have real vegetables thanks. I'm looking forward to coming back tonight! I wonder what I'll try next...

3 months ago, Everything is great if you don't have coeliac disease, I sent them a text message to book a table and ask if they could cater for a coeliac, they said YES. So that YES was simply "I don't have the knowledge but let's give it a try", be aware that coeliac disease is not an allergy or intolerance, it is an autoimmune disease, so cross-contamination is no good for us either, it should be illegal in all restaurants. Of course I got glutened and was sick for 5 days, apart from that, my small intestine will still be damaged, so no tries and more empathy. I wrote them a message to let them know and they have left me in the dark. I hope this review is of some use.

I’m gluten free and I ordered the penne carbonara pasta There. The pasta was really well cooked and added a marvellous amount of pepper. The amount of bacon was generous, the sauce was perfect, However, when I got to the bottom of the plate there was a bit too much oil

Ainsley Bost

If I could give them more stars I would because OMG! Even if you are not a vegan this spot is absolutely to die for! My mom and I went for the first time today and got the curry with gluten free bread! Another amazing thing is the majority of the menu is gluten free or upon request can be gluten free which is such a perk! Adam the owner is so kind and the other staff were so sweet and attentive! They have amazing smoothies and other delicious food options….you bettaaaaa RUN not walk asap😋! Also the portions are very generous (could be 2 meals) and are filled with flavor! Definitely a spot we will be again!

This was our first visit to Delhi o Delhi and we were only sorry that we hadn’t been there earlier. The dishes we had were all very tasty and the right amount of spice for our palettes. There were very good wines to choose from and the service was of a high standard. Our waiter was very attentive with our dietary needs and was sure to let us know that the dessert we ordered with another waiter contained gluten. (I thanked him and let him know I was choosing not to have dessert and wanted my friends to try this delicacy). It was greatly appreciated that the waiter made that effort to make sure I wouldn’t get sick. We had a really enjoyable dinner and we all loved every dish. The Harissa Macchli Tikka was new for all of us and we loved it! The serving sizes were perfect for the four of us and was very reasonably priced. We were all very happy with our experience tonight. Thank you.

Daisy Ng

The signature strawberry watermelon cake is refreshing at the right level of sweetness. It takes so much effort to make a beautiful cake. It is gluten free and I hope it can be both gluten fee and dairy free so that my boy can try it.

Mickey

Really good vegan burgers and gluten free bun was really nice as well

Sarah M

My friends and I had a wonderful dinner here on New Year's Eve. Nothing was too much trouble for the restaurant and they catered beautifully for our gluten-free and vegan guests, and the staff were very welcoming. The food was delicious. Thank you for a lovely evening, we will definitely be back!

Lucas Parker

My gf and I went and it was fabulous. We got the set menu and as a celiac, it was tremendous. For $55, the set menu is definitely worth the money, and they don’t even charge extra for gluten free pasta. The staff were welcoming and friendly, providing excellent service, to which a 20% tip felt justified.

Sara Stremikis Bennett (The Mindful Peanut)

Healthy bowls of goodness - fab for carnivores, gluten free & vegan folk alike. I built my own bowl because I have control issues. Miso pumpkin, tofu, kale, ginger - basically a bowl of my dreams!

girly Grace

Chose the restaurant as they had lots of GF options on the menu. Advised I was coeliac and waiter confirmed everything would be gluten free. Half way through the set menu I was vomiting. Waiter apologised as he’d forgotten to tell the chef about my dietery requirements. As compensation I was offered a glass of house wine! Said I probably shouldn’t be charged for the set menu meal given I had thrown it back up and it wasn’t what I ordered. Was offered a glass of complimentary house wine when we’d bought a nice bottle (also thrown up) wasn’t appropriate compensation for being poisoned and ruining a Friday night out with friends. Waiter was stressed and said Manager wouldn’t allow it but he personally would pay for my meal. He was a young guy and we said we didn’t want him paying personally and could we see the manager. Manager refused to see us and the waiter was clearly scared of his manager. Our bottle of wine was deducted but sure the waiter had it taken out of his wages and I paid $88 for a meal I threw up. Didn’t push the payment for the meal as I didn’t want the waiter to lose his job. Cruel management, poorly trained waiters, don’t go if you have allergies, left with an empty stomach, sore throat and a terrible dining experience feeling worried about the waiter. Manager needs to train their staff, be accountable and lead and serve with compassion.

Kai Raisbeck

Incredible food. Really good communication (I’m coeliac and they asked all the right questions). Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Easiest 5 star I’ve ever given.

Tan Napisara

Love the fusion between Japanese and Mexican! The miso salmon taco was delicious and unique. The tacos shell is definitely contributing to this fusion. They offer gluten free option which is great!

Louise

Lovely staff who really care about the food they're preparing. Always fast and efficient. They offer gluten free bases and have ample on street parking on the side streets.

Catherine Chen

The first time I went here was at least 4 years ago and it’s still as great now as it was then. Back then I had a lamb and pomegranate dish (might be similar to the lamb fattah) that was just banging. This time I had the vegetarian plate (subbed bread for salad to make gluten free) which was also delicious. Everything’s so fresh, you can tell by tasting it. Staff are friendly and efficient, and the vibe is casual and bustling. Be sure to get in before 6:30PM if you want a table, as it is very much a takeaway spot so seating is limited.

gemmalodge

Advertised as having gluten free options but they share frying oil and don’t wipe down the plate that other gluten containing food is cooked on - avoid if coeliac! This was kindly communicated by the server but think it should be more explicit that the ‘gluten free’ options on the menu aren’t actually gluten free. We ate elsewhere.

Dawn Hasan

This place is AMAZING that it is even better than places I visited in the heart of Istanbul! 100% authentic!! I am visiting from Melbourne with my friend and she took me here for an authentic Turkish cuisine and she wasn't wrong! She wanted me to try the grills but what blew my mind was the stuffed vegetables! Home made with love ❤️ The meats were also very juicey and tender and cooked to perfection! I even took it home re-heated it and it was still very juicey and delicious! Very fresh foods! I am coeliac though and I've let them know I am gluten free and although they went above and beyond and out of their way the stuffed vegetables had bulgur which is not GF so please be extra cautious with allergies guys as coeliac is a very serious disease!!

Henry Nguyen

Great affordable thai options especially during the 11-4pm lunch special. Ordered the Pad Thai and Massamun Beef curry. Was very flavorful which can be a bit overpowering for some. Overall great experience and was able to cater for our dietary requirements by being gluten free!

Ella

Every dish was delicious and staff were very kind when catering for vegan / vegetarian / gluten free options all on the same table, sharing the same dishes. Great atmosphere and surprisingly quiet even when very busy.

Erica Fletcher

So so tasty! And happily made everything gluten free. Also loved the cinnamon peppermint tea.

Paul Jotsingani

Gluten Free Roti or Makki roti would would be a great addition

Kate O

Amazing night with a group of 7, with various allergies including coeliac. Service could not be faulted. Will definitely go again.

Luke

One of my favourite restaurants in Newtown. The most consistent restaurant around. Great portion sizes, gluten free options, kind staff. Probably been here about 30+ times 😆

huang da

If you see this restaurant but you don't walk in, you don't know what you're missing! They have a very wide variety of food to choose from, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and soft juicy meat dumplings, how thoughtful 🥹🥹🥹Low prices and high quality food! It is my favorite restaurant on enmore road! If you're here for the first time, you can't go wrong with the deep fried eggplant , Mongolian series, and small pork soupy dumplings! And a $10 cocktail to go with it! So enjoyable!

Nic Narapiromkwan Foo

Went in tonight (Saturday night) and ordered a gluten free burrito. Fred was super accommodating and took lots of care with my dietary requirement— so sweet and considerate. Big portions too. Thanks so much Fred!

Jeroen Beerthuizen

Great handmade pastries and glutenfree brownies with cherries Excellent coffee Good fresh camomille tea And a place to side inside and on the boardwalk

A Bunny Yay

Great rooftop bar and food options including Gluten Free for anyone who is Coeliac. This bar has three levels and is easy to access, being so close to the Newtown train station. The Peri Peri Burger, Falafel Burger and Atlantic Salmon were all wonderful. Perfect sized portions for my family friends and I. Dog friendly spot, too, and not very busy on a Monday so a good option if you want a quiet spot on a non peak day. My only problem is the bathroom situation on the top outdoor rooftop section. The bathroom was disgusting on a quiet Monday and there was pee all over the toilet seats. The bathroom is a shared men's and women's so ladies beware of this really vile choice. Also the taps are awful and difficult to turn on/off if you aren't quite strong. You also get a nice blast of water on you from the water pressure and the strange sink to tap distance. Besides that gross bathroom, we had a great time here.

TheDavidlyster

Highly recommended! Great gluten free options and vegetarian, friendly staff, and very nice pho. 👍

LAZY LUNCH REVIEW Being a lifelong vegan, I’ve not had much experience with Japanese food, as it’s traditionally quite meat centric. To further complicate matters, I’m gluten, chilli and edamame sensitive…argh! However, our eldest son has been encouraging us to try his favourite restaurant of its type, Kimusabi Sushi in Newtown. Knowing Peter’s other eatery, Vandal Sydney, and his fabulous grocery store, Greens Super Market we had no doubt of Kimusabi’s high quality offerings. I just wasn’t sure if my allergies could be catered for adequately. How wrong was I you ask? About as wrong as could be and more! Our lazy lunch there last weekend was out of this world. The food was simply sensational, the service was second to none and the atmosphere was just lovely. To top it off, our little rescued K9 son, Charlie, was welcomed in the alfresco section. Plus he was spoiled for attention by our gorgeous wait staff. Speaking of the wait staff, I must mention the lengths they went to, in order to find suitable dishes that I would enjoy and not regret later. The whole experience was wonderful and we cannot recommend Kimusabi highly enough. We will be back at the first opportunity, with bells on and a big appetite. https://www.kimusabi.com.au/

Great service, delicious gluten free food, good portions, relaxing ambiance.

The Pascoe's

Great little hidden gem, close to Cirqular Quay. Lots of Gluten Free options.

Erin White

Love the gluten free sweets, especially the gf vegan peanut butter brownie

Elisa Jakymin

So much wisdom and knowledge shared by the staff at Ojas over nourishing, tasty and easily digestible food which embraces Ayurvedic principles. A very unique restaurant dining experience that’s good for the soul, mind and gut! Highly recommended for anyone with sensitive guts, dietary restrictions such as gluten free and vegetarians.

Tanya Badal

I've been here twice for brekky and it doesn't disappoint! This place has great service and coffee. I Iove the green bowl, zucchini fritters (sorry no photos!) and that they have vegetarian and gluten free options. Note: If you love bacon make sure to try their bacon jam!

Daisy Ng

I ordered the Stir fry pork neck rice (korean). Good gluten free options here. The pork neck tasted good but was too spicy for my boy. Hope there are more gluten free options and the portion can be bigger.

Lisa S

This place has a reputation and stood the test of time for a reason. In the sea of hipster American style burger chains these guys do real quality Aussie burgers, like the ones we grew up with. And gosh damn do they do that well 😋😋😋 They have great vego and gluten free options too.
