Family-run place. People here are so kind! I was able to eat a gluten free pizza being celiac and they are very careful with cross contamination. Loved our lunchtime here and will definitely come back. Thanks :)

Favorites: vegetales al pastor (veggie) quesadilla, tortilla soup, potato and bean chipotle taco, and horchata to drink. Only a few tables, but a cute casual spot. Good portion sizes, goid vegetarian options, and most things are gluten free.

Not too saucy. Hypoallergenic. Offer gluten free soy sauce. Remade a shrimp meal for us when we noticed the shrimp was battered. Really lovely menu. Pad Thai, curries, tom yum soup etc. Protein selection for meals: Tofu, Chicken , beef. Small bathroom; atleast they have one. No parking lot. Park on street.

They give Yonge Street a run for their money! Authentic Persian cuisine. Great food (very high quality; they don’t skip anything). Great music, hospitable and dignified. Buttery, saffron, eggy, juicy. They are aware of allergies. On their menu they note the meals that contain gluten, eggs, walnuts, and are vegan. They have a *special* meal every day of the week for lunch. A party menu. Appetizers, salads, kebab menu, other meals, soups, deserts.

We had an excellent experience at BAMM’s. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I’m celiac and the staff is very knowledgeable and serious about contamination safety. I was so happy they offer gluten-free burger buns, l a dedicated gf fryer for their fries as well as gluten-free homemade gravy, so it was the rare occasion for me to be able to have poutine. The gf cheeseburger and poutine were absolutely delicious. Our party also had a regular double burger, an oatmeal cookie and a fritter and everything was very tasty. The donuts looked soo good. Highly recommend! We’ll be back next time we’re in town :)
