I’m the most complicated individual in terms of how stringent I am with food. I look into quality ingredients, seed oil free, halal, sugar free, soy free, gluten free, grass fed butter etc & Huma & Fabian understood my language & concerns & we’re able to accommodate my every request 100%. This shall be my go to spot for late lunch or dinner. Restaurant that promote quality down to the ingredients is rare.

I loved that they got gluten free food

Tanja H.

Very nice and friendly place. A paradise for celiacs! My daughter had a chocolate donut and she loved it

Erin Zachary

I literally eat here everyday because they are one of the few restaurants with gluten sensitive options. Staff is A1 food is A1!

As a long time customer of True Food Kitchen - for more than 4 years - what initially interested us was the healthy non GMO, Gluten Free menu that does not use unhealthy seed oils (like Canola/Rapeseed Oil) in its food preparation. Since then, True Food has made some slight changes to its menus, including the use of controversial Vital Farms products as well as changes to its gluten friendly pizza dough and hamburger buns, however the one thing that has NOT changed - and is the best part of the restaurant: its employees. Ask for Chantal, Yuyu or Aaron - those are three of the best restaurant professionals you will ever meet! Their can do attitude, combined with their amazing ability to connect with customers is the REAL secret weapon at True Food Kitchen on PostOak. My family can eat at any restaurant in Houston, but we choose to eat at True Food Kitchen on Post Oak because we are always given excellent service and shown kindness when we eat there. Every restaurant should figure out how those three team members work, and copy it exactly - as a customer you leave having had a good meal, and GREAT service. Kindness, always served with a smile - and if there is any problem at all with your order, they are always quick to rectify the situation. You will never sit around with an empty glass of tea if you are being served by Aaron, Chantal or Yuyu. They always put the customer first - which is why, as long as they are working at TrueFood, we will always eat there! Give it a try - and ask to sit in their sections - you will have the best dining experience ever! Thank you Chantal, Yuyu and Aaron!!

Nice place but not the menu for me. If your a healthy food eater who really needs gluten free this is the place. I'm almost 100% sure if you fit the description I just listed this is the place for you.

As someone with celiac disease, finding safe and delicious gluten-free options can be a challenge, but Pondicheri absolutely delivers! Their menu has so many naturally gluten-free dishes, and the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions. It’s such a relief to enjoy incredible Indian-inspired food without worrying about cross-contamination. Everything I’ve tried has been packed with flavor, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is also warm and inviting, making it a great spot for anything from a casual lunch to a special night out. If you’re gluten-free (or just love amazing food), this place is a must-visit! You can also follow my journey navigating gluten-free life with EoE over at @glutenfreewitheoe on Instagram for more great finds!

Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!

Kari Tseng

The food is delicious and the portions are generous, with plenty of gluten-free options available. However, be prepared for a wait, as there's usually a line and parking can be quite difficult.

Kylie C

We arrived Saturday around noon and didn't have to wait. Food is always fabulous and the staff are friendly and attentive. They have lots of gluten free and vegan options. Love this place!

Karen S.

Loved the gluten free options!

Kat Spofford

They have awesome gluten free chocolate chip cashew cookies, and desserts. Salads are really good too.

I Palacios

Amazing food! I thought it was vegetarian and was so surprised to find out it was totally vegan and gluten-free! I truly didn’t miss anything. Packed with flavours and spices. Cute decor. Was a little hard to find but totally worth it. Great place. Highly recommend and we’ll be back.

Stacy Falbaum

It’s so delicious. Like a reinterpretation of a classic noodle bowl. So fresh and no concerns about a negative health impact!

Leo C.

One of the best gluten free buns I’ve ever had. Service was nice and made sure the rest of the burger ingredients were gluten free as well.

Faith David

Fantastic gluten free dessert! Wonderful and nice staff! I order from them all the time and they never disappoint!

Ryan Kloosterman

Fantastic help from the staff both times I visited with gluten free options. Super tasty fajitas and nachos 🔥

Guilherme Pirani

Very good food, place and people. My wife has a severe allergy to gluten and took really good care. Kudos to Katy who helped us :) *I hope I have the correct name for her. Sorry if I'm wrong LoL

Camarell Anderson

This was an excellent option for gluten free snacks. The bruschetta board and grilled cheese was amazing!

Sammy Berzoza

Wonderful crepe spot in citycentere with delicious options and very attentive staff! A little busy and a little on the loud side, but otherwise an enjoyable experience and worth a stop if you’re in the area. Expect to pay $20-$30 per person. They do have vegan and allergen friendly options on the menu such as gluten free and dairy free. Parking is a bit of a chore, and most of it is paid parking, but there is some free parking available if you’re lucky and willing to walk.

Ruth Brown

Great gluten free options and it is delicious. The prices are a little high and the sides and drinks are on the small side. I paid almost $3 for a bottle of Diet Coke to find out it was a mini one.

yajaira escobedo

Food is good but pretty loud inside to have a conversation however we went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. I like the gluten free options for the pancakes.

Bethany Talarico

Portions have gotten smaller and prices have increased over the years, but it’s still a decent option for a gluten free brunch.

Philippe Jacques Kradolfer

This Flower Child restaurant is definitely a fantastic place to eat and enjoy, specially if you are into natural and healthy eating. All dishes are made-from-scratch, catering to all lifestyles like vegetarian and vegan, meat-eating and gluten-free, as well as keto and paleo. To point out at a given dish, be it a salad, a bowl, a wrap, or any of the variety of mix-and-match veggies, grains, fruits and healthy proteins would be superfluous as ALL dishes are very well prepared and delicious. Of the several Flower Child restaurants I have visited this was for me one of the best ones. Great atmosphere and great service. I’m certainly looking forward to returning to explore the menu further!

If you need gluten free at Bush airport, this pizza was really good. Service was great though I don't know if they use dedicated utensils. Very delicious.

Megyn Blanchard

Cozy. Excellent food and service. Had the trout and shashito peppers and wine. So many gluten free options

Jerry Fairchild

Great gluten-free options and dairy-free cheese.

Megan Reimann

Postino is such a great place to have happy hour with friends. Their patio is outfitted for the Houston weather, so you can enjoy the ambiance of The Heights year-round. Their wine selection is massive, and the servers always have great suggestions on which ones to get. They also have delicious charcuterie boards and appetizers. The bruschetta is a must, and there are gluten-free bread options for those of us with intolerances! Five stars!

Kimie Kimura-Heaney

Vegan and gluten free and delicious. Fresh and amazing with great prices. Friendly service. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I don't think it is a language barrier thing about the gluten free thing, as some other reviewer said, as my husband is a Cantonese speaker and spoke to our server at length. I guess I will know in a few hours if I die from eating the noodles and dumplings!

Eugenia Jacques

I was incredibly impressed by the flavors! The food was freshly made, gluten-free, and absolutely delicious. The dishes were served hot, with a delightful crunch and char on the chicken. The rice paired perfectly with the sausage, creating a mouthwatering African jambalaya-like experience. The yellow curry sauce was simply amazing. Having lived in West Africa for years, I can say that these dishes capture the traditional flavors at an elevated level. I initially planned to eat elsewhere, but after trying the free sample, I was hooked!

Food, service and atmosphere were all just okay. Nothing was extraordinary. I was told that the quesadilla and chimichanga couldn’t be made gluten-free. I ended up ordering the las enchiladas and chile con queso. If I was already in the area, I’d stop by and try different versions of the gf corn taco but I definitely would not drive back solely to eat at this restaurant.

Yves Brisson

Food was excellent. You order at the counter but there are lots of table to sit down and relax and doesn't feel like a fast food at all. Gluten-free menu so was awesome for my son who is celiac. Would definitely recommend

Ipek Yurdal

Delicious tacos, you can see what I tried below, I ordered them by most favourite to least. Also tried Queso blanco, nice gluten free alternative. 17 Mexi-Cali Shrimp 12 Slow-Roasted Angus Brisket 2 Rotisserie Chicken You order inside and they buzz you when your order is ready.

Gluten free sub roll! Specifically the “club on a sub” sandwich

I have to share for anyone who has a Gluten Allergy/Celiac. While the service was great and staff was friendly. The Gluten-free bread is super dry, and it's like the sandwich was all bread and not alot of "fillings". Taste was there but I hardly got any chicken in my sandwich. I was super bummed because I was craving a sandwich, and wanted to try something new. The GF bread really threw everything off. Plus it was like $20 for a sandwich. They do make the GF sandwiches separately from the non GF sandwiches.

⭐️ FINALLY, A DELICIOUS DAIRY-FREE ICE CREAM ! 🍨 The thoughtful flavor combination in each ice cream offering is what sets Jeni’s ice cream apart from the competition. They have a wide range of Dairy-Free, Vegan, and/or Gluten-Free choices. Each flavor I’ve tried is fantastic, but my favorite is the Lemon Bar. It reminds me of Key Lime pie. This ice cream has an incredible mix of lemon and coconut cream with small pieces of shortbread in the mix. The coconut flavor is not heavy (the mistake other places make), so it compliments, rather than takes away from, the lemon. Whatever flavor you choose, you can’t go wrong at Jeni’s.

Rachel Steinhauser

Postino is our go to place now!! Their gluten free bread is actually amazing!!! The bruschetta boards are all so delicious. The service is always wonderful too. Jermi passed the vibe check 😂
