Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Enjoy in Jersey City

Cary DeLuca

Michelle and her team did a phenomenal job catering my Baby Shower this weekend! She worked with me to develop a menu in advance, and prepared light, delicious offerings for my guests. She easily accommodated various dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegetarian options, peanut free, etc.). The real show stopper was the cake. WOW! Not only was it flavorful, but the decorations fit perfectly with the theme of the shower (woodland). I would absolutely recommend Michelle for any catering gig, especially those that need to be gluten free. Thank you Busy Bee!

The entrees are very gluten-free friendly. All sandwiches and wraps can be made with gluten-free breads. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable - he told me their fryers aren’t dedicated to just French fries and gave me a salad on the side instead.

I only tried Alfalfa for the first time 2 weeks ago and today is my 3rd time getting it. Growing up in Jersey City, I love that the founders grew up in the area and they went to St. Peter's Prep. I love that they offer gluten free wraps which are so good. The food is always fresh and exactly as it is described on the website. I will definitely be a loyal customer going forward.

It is amazing to be able to order pizza that is both gluten free and vegan.

Lexi Shaw

This place has a lot of great gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options, with no modifications needed since the dishes are already made that way. My favorites are the Al Pastor and Brussel Sprout tacos, really flavorful! Their tortilla chips are also pretty good. There has always been tables available when we’ve gone, and the service has always been fast.

The server was very nice, was seated right away, but took a long time to receive our food. I ordered gluten free pancakes and they were disappointing. They were dry, rough, no flavor, and flat. Did not look good at all. Worse tasting gf pancakes I've ever had.

Mickey Crump

They can make you any gf breakfast sandwich on their menu. Delicious coffee options as well! I didn’t see any other gf specific options or baked goods other than their sandwich bread. But the bread was a nice big portion! No small pieces of bread like what you get in store.

Kerry Leccese

GF crepes are amazing!

Jessica Sage

Good tunes, good people, good food. Sometimes I carry out, sometimes I stay in. Everything on the menu is tasty, and lots of gluten free options for my GF friends

Carolina Wente

This is the second time that I had their nuggets and for the second time my stomach hurts. It says gluten free, however it feels exactly like when I eat gluten.

Katya Zhenya

The gluten-free option is very, very good. One of the best. We usually go for a "create your own", but we tried "Farmer's Daughter," and it was very good.

Lauren Disbennett

We come here all the time and are obsessed! The gluten free pizza and pasta is amazing - the spicy vodka rigatoni with stracciatella is phenomenal. We recently tried the square pizzas, so fluffy and massive, everything we’ve had here is a 10/10 plus the outdoor seating is such a cute vibe

Catherine Cummings

Nice spacious location with plenty of indoor seating. Very clean, both tables and bathrooms. Staff was very helpful! Plenty of Gluten Free options, though you should reference their menu as there are so many options. Convenient to the Exchange Place PATH station and neighboring offices.

I'm not sure I've ever had Hyderabad cuisine before, but it was delicious...and spicy! They took a standard dish in Aloo Gobi, for instance, and amped it up with green chilis and Sichuan peppers. The lentil dish we had was similarly rich and spicy. So many vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options, which was important for our group. The menu is vast, and I would certainly return to try more of it. The whole neighborhood is incredibly vibrant.

DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY I went here with friends for dinner on a Saturday night and I’m still regretting that choice 5 days later. I usually don’t write reviews, but given how sick I’ve been after eating here, I’m going to be incredibly detailed. Our server (who was also the hostess) was really pleasant once we were seated. I asked her if they have gluten free pasta and she said yes and also alerted me that the meatball appetizer is made with breadcrumbs in it. I really appreciated her looking out for me. When she told me about the meatballs I said “eh one meatball won’t kill me” - maybe that was my grave mistake. While we were waiting for our food, I noticed that the menu had a large disclaimer on it, that “all pasta dishes are served al dente”. I thought that was weird considering most places serve their pasta al dente…. When my meal finally came out the pasta was legitimately crunchy. It wasn’t cooked through at all. I felt bad, but I asked the waitress/hostess if they could remake it… then the manager comes over and tries to explain to me what “Al dente” means. I didn’t want to argue, but expressed again that it was undercooked and some of the noodles were straight up HARD. She rolled her eyes as she took my plate away. Fast forward: my new dish comes out and the manger comes back to again explain to me how pasta is boiled for some reason and emphasized that they shouldn’t overcook pasta? Whatever- I say thank you for the new dish - I eat my meal and it’s significantly better than the first time. 30 minutes later I start feeling really sick… while I can’t confirm it, I’m almost certain they served me regular pasta the second time around. I’m not celiac, but I have a pretty severe gluten allergy. I ate ONE meatball as my “cheat” meal of the day. Some breadcrumbs usually leads to a LITTLE discomfort for a few hrs. After eating that pasta, Ive been sick for 5 days with all the telltale signs of eating a large quantity of gluten. Sever stomach cramps, joint pain all over my body, bloating, swollen hands and feet. I was bedridden for the entire day after eating here. Again, I can’t prove anything but my suspicion is that they gave me regular pasta bc of my comment about eating the meatball or bc I complained about my original dish? Either way… the manager is rude af and they have a weird obsession with “Al dente” pasta. Sidenote: my friends didn’t enjoy their meals either. Their red sauce is pretty bland according to her.

Attended a reception after a family event here. There was a pre-set menu and I have many food allergies, so I asked the server if any modifications could be made. She was so kind and accommodating about it! Was able to make some changes, including gluten-free pasta. The food was SO good, and I was able to partake in the family celebration. Thank you so much!

Jason Brinkerhoff

Very friendly and the food was both beautifully presented and quote delicious. There are many gluten free options, it was difficult to choose! I will definitely be back.

Alexis Teresi

Hudson and Co. has always been good to and my dietary restrictions. They have a nice selection of gluten free options and staff is always friendly. Every time we go, their Manager Dala goes above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of! He’s our favorite part of the experience! He’s friendly, funny, caring and attentive! We love Dala and will always come back as long as he’s there!

Beware if you’re sensitive to cross contamination with gluten. I order some of their GF pancakes and literally watched them put the batter on the same spot on the grill where they laid open faced bread to toast. They don’t clean the grill in between cooking so my pancakes and mostly my eggs were contamination with bread crumbs. Would not come here again for food. Plus, they forgot my order so I ended waiting 40 plus minutes for some pancakes & eggs.

Beautiful seating setup with delicious food. Vegetarian ,Vegan and Gluten Free options.

Brialle Ringer

Best vegan Mac & cheese ever!! And I’ve tried a lot of them. Soo flavorful and satisfying. The Zak is a must try! I love the perfectly smoky mushrooms on top with the delicious sauce. The salad + pico on the side is a lovely fresh addition to the comforting dish. I also had the churro waffle — soo delicious! Seriously my favorite restaurant on the east coast. The intention, donation based, vegan, organic, gluten free, friggen delicious — not to mention the beautiful garden, free produce fridge out front. I’d love to see more models like this, feels like a real gem in the community

Catherine Cummings

Great atmosphere and service! Very friendly staff with upscale food/drink choices. Have several gluten free options in both appetizers and meals. When I went all the sides were gluten free!

Sugandha Talwelkar

I absolutely love this place! They have great pizza options - my go to is the gluten free vegan pizza. Their service is quick The kitchen is clean The staff is super kind and accommodating I highly recommend you give them a try

Ed Mattingly

I'm embarrassed to say it was the first time visiting in my 20+ years living in downtown JC. Even worse, I've been to every other taco place and this was my last to visit. If you're getting takeout, I'd recommend another taco spot but if you're eating in-person definitely visit. We had the shrimp ceviche and Carne tacos (5 minis w/ rice & beans for $17, super economical) for food. For drinks, we enjoyed 'The Neil' margarita (w/ one Marlee thrown in) and bubbles option. The waitors were extremely helpful and familiar with the menu. Celiac Annie felt at home and was able to partake in all the food options mentioned. I cannot wait to come back. Total package... Presentation, atmosphere food, and drinks...

Jamie Huenefeld

Skinners loft was fun. My dining mate has severe food allergies, and they verified that the fryer wasn't cross contaminating with gluten. Super awesome. Most restaurants can't do that. My dinner had hiccups. I got the watermelon salad, and the lettuce was bad. They fixed it and comped the salad part. Service was impeccable throughout this. The salmon was perfectly cooked, also. I'll definitely go back. They had some organic options, the fish was wild. Yea, good stuff!

Chantal Lamour

Solid burger, nice establishment, relaxed atmosphere. Gluten free buns available too ❤

kevin duffus

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Amazing experience from start to finish. We had a party offsite for 75 people. The whole night went off without a hitch. Diana was easy to work with and her experienced advice was spot on. From planning stage to night of party- exceptionally organized and delivered as discussed. Staff was professional and accommodating with any request. In passing I mentioned a gluten allergy for one of our guests- unsolicited Diana put together a plate and personally delivered it. Aside from all of that- the food was incredible!!! I highly recommend Diana and Casa Cubana.

This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The items on the menu are highly customizable and the establishment is vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free friendly. The spice levels can be made anywhere from mild to extra spicy which makes the item so personalizable to taste. The place is also BYOB (bring your own booze.) Going back to the food, the ramen served was the absolute best ramen I have had in the US. The dessert items are very well made especially for what they are. The overall experience was extremely remarkable and I will 100% return here when I can.

karan rajpal

Enjoyed the paneer pizza selection and they usually have a gluten free crust which is great when your partner has issues.

Natalie Rosborough

Blown away by this little spot! The place itself is decorated beautifully and the staff was super friendly. We ordered the pao de quiejo, Amazon salad, salmon, vegan stew, and chicken stroganoff. Everyone loved their meal. The flavors were outstanding and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. There’s no other place like it downtown. As someone who is gluten free, I was thrilled to see that I could have more than half of the menu. My partner who is vegan also had plenty of options. Highly recommend coming here for a great meal.

Murat Sivis

Very, very tasty. Everything gluten free.

Hannes Bend

Cozy and charming restaurant with delicious original Thai food. We had vegan and gluten-free options and they were incredible. Cooked and served by the owner who is super friendly. Highly recommended - we’ll be back next week!

Trish S

A wonderful atmosphere with delicious food! The mimosas are excellent, and they offer a diverse range of cocktails. There are also good gluten-free options available. Don't forget to make a reservation in advance.

Jenny Bain

We’re gluten free and this still fits the bill!! Super good GF options for pizza and sandwiches. My husband almost cried, he was so excited to eat your GF Philly Cheesesteak. Only had delivery (three times now) and it was very prompt.

A small cute asian fusion brunch restaurant. The portions are decent. You get a lot of food and vegetables. I guarantee you get full after finishing your meal. Every bites were filled with flavor. I recommend trying their vermicelli bowl. They have more western options such as breads and eggs too. There are options for vegetarians and gluten free. The coffee could be stronger. Staffs are nice and welcoming.

Dong Jin Shin

The pizza is very satisfying, especially with Indian style toppings. The dough is much more brittle and fluffy than what you might find in typical pizza, probably because it’s gluten free. It goes well with the texture of the toppings. The pizza can be ordered in 4 different sizes, so it can accommodate groups small or large. The staff are friendly and the order was ready for pickup on time. A good place to stop by when you have a craving for pizza and Indian flavors on the same day.

Audrey Tappan

The host is on their business! Well run place. Gluten free bread is A1 and I could drink the sangria for the rest of my life.

Ally Lowell

Ordered the pad Thai as gluten free and can easily say this is the best pad Thai I’ve ever had. And the staff was knowledgeable about the gluten allergy

Blanca Jimenez

Very accomodating to my sisters gluten allergy, wonderful service, great food, 100/10 place all around

Gluten UNFRIENDLY - Nestled in the Jersey City Arts District, this sushi spot is one of the few in Jersey city which claims fresh sushi. However after dining there today inquiring about Gluten free options we were told that 1) Almost all their food is pre made in the morning - very limited items are prepared fresh 2) the Chef does not support customizations even for food allergies. The wait staff was not knowledgeable of the menu and had to check with the kitchen on multiple times just to advise what was gluten free. Even items like oysters which are naturally gluten free cannot be prepared gluten free as all oysters are shucked in the morning and pre made before the restaurant opens including all topping. When asked if it was safe for oysters to sit out all day the wait staff shared they are pre-made and sit on ice. The sushi is delicious if you are not Celiac but I cannot advise the oysters either way based on the staff’s preparation comments.

Rio The Messenger

In Jersey City it is hard to stand out as an Indian restaurant because there are so many BUT BALAJI BHAVAN is a star! One thing I love is that they specify on the menu about all food allergies — I am vegan and it is very easy to eat there because they tell you, unlike a lot of places where the waitstaff is not sure what has cream or ghee in it. Here it is easy if you are gluten free or have any allergies. That’s just the ordering though…. The food is excellent!! Delicious ! I had the korma (which is vegan) with roti— alll delicious. The atmosphere is so pleasant and bright, the space is beautiful, the service is top notch. 10/10 good work!

Chandrakiran Parkar

It was a business meeting, and they recognized it and gave us space and also knew when you come and ask for our needs. Very quiet, options were limited on menu but had all kinds of options for veg, gluten free, etc

We came here after the liberty science center for my sister’s birthday dinner. Parking was hard to find but we managed to loop a few times and find a spot within 10 minutes of being there. We were a large group, bread is not free, as it’s focaccia bread at $5 a basket, my husband said it was good but not great. Everyone enjoyed their food and it came out lovely. Just when mine the gluten free pizza came out, 10 minutes after everyone else’s and then was completely burned and when my husband asked them to remake it the waiter made it seem like I was being an inconvenience to them for wanting a not burned pizza - which by the way - costs more than the regular pizza and is extremely thin. The waiter said it would take so long and they could just remove it from the bill and I got upset for being an inconvenience to them (or taking it that way) but my husband said no you need to remake this. Ultimately it was a good pizza once it was cooked properly but for me I just didn’t have that grand of an experience, whereas my family did. So that’s why I removed only one star. So if you have a gluten allergy just beware your food may come out 10 mins later than everyone else’s and also not be cooked properly and possibly will make you feel like crumbs for their mistake.

I've been here about 4-5 times over the past several years and it never disappoints. First time attending a Sunday brunch and overall good experience (even during Covid times). Had the pulled pork nachos and rib sandwich along with a bloody mary and breakfast margarita (not shown). Celiac Annie had the eggs, chorizo, potatoes, and queso brunch dish with prosecco. Unfortunately, the waiter did not mention the chorizo and queso both had gluten and therefore the dish was slightly underwhelming. Still tasty and our fault for not asking.

Rex Accavallo

Really nice spot. Semi limited gluten free options and nothing is clearly marked GF on the menu (however vegan is marked). Food was good but not amazing, prices are a tad high for the food I feel. Great atmosphere though, nice place. The waitress was very sweet (Erika) she was great
