Pho’s menu is 98% gluten free and has been accredited by coeliac UK for the last 9 years. The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend

They have a gluten free menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are very careful with coeliac disease and made sure my food was cooked separately.

Fiona Beresford

Nice place to eat, clearly labelled vegan and or vegetarian and or gluten free foods. Good enough standard. The cauliflower wings were sold out, so too were the cashew nuts. Took 40 mins to receive our food after our 2 pm booking and food order. Seems like a nice place to go for afternoon tea?

Cellie Auger

nice place with tasty gluten free pasta

Alanah Moulsdale

Gluten free options available and the staff are very clued up on cross contamination!

Ruaridh Williams

Great gluten-free pizza & dough balls. Friendly & quick service 🙌🏼

Sonja Hartwig

Jannah has been AMAZING!!!!! She took care of our gluteness needs in such a warm and welcoming non judgmental way… quiet encouraging. It has been one of the best dinner experiences we have had in a long time. Thank you. ♥️💋♥️💋

I have had mixed experiences. Half of the time I've had an incredible gluten free pizza, the other half it was thin and rock hard. If the experience was more consistent, the high price would be justified, but unfortunately it's a gamble every time I order

Disappointing. Had a gluten free pizza. Tomato sauce and cheese were sparse with some ham and mushrooms Ate less than half. Offered free dessert. An Italian restaurant which is unable to create a pizza is to be avoided. Won't be back.

Really friendly service and well-looked after by Keesha. She dealt with my gluten allergy and recommended dishes. The summer menu is delicious and loved the burnt Basque cheesecake. I know I can always rely on Waggas to deliver tasty gluten-free food and l really enjoyed the North Atlantis G.F. IPA. Thanks Keesha and team for another enjoyable evening.

Ashleigh Wilson

Prebooked a 2 course Christmas meal with friends. Mainly due to gluten free options available. Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Extensive drinks menu - i tried a few coctails and tye salted caramel martini was amazing! Absolutely will be back in the new year.

Alanah Moulsdale

Accredited by coeliac UK, they have a dedicated gluten free menu with lots of tasty options.

Alanah Moulsdale

Coeliac friendly. They have a lot of gluten free options including gluten free burger buns. Fries are cooked in dedicated fryer and manager takes the gluten free order. Highly recommend.

Great place for my friend's birthday dinner. Super friendly staff and really nice range of options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten free.

Me, my son and my sister visited this Pizza Hut today for lunch as part of our weekend in Manchester. Although both the Waitress and Manager were very welcoming, smiley and kept checking up on us one of the spoons which was given to us for one of our cookie dohs was dirty and one of our gluten free pizzas was burnt around the edges.

Lea Shaughnessy

Very enjoyable sushi. Staff were very knowledgeable on gluten free options, although providing allergens on the regular menu would be a lot easier than providing an allergen menu. Our servers were great, we had Tom and a pleasant woman who knew about GF options

Margaret Dwyer

Our first visit and my daughter who has autism was shown to a quieter part of the restaurant by the lovely Abbie and made to feel valued as a customer. We were looked after really well and Abbie even refilled our drinks for us as my daughter would have struggled in front of other customers. The pizza we chose was a make your own option and was absolutely delicious! The thinnest base I've ever seen and they also have a gluten free option on the menu, which is fantastic for anyone with dietary needs. We will definitely be return-Mags Dwyer

Johanna Knaapi

My husband and I really enjoyed our time here. Food was delicious (they do really good gluten free pizza too), atmosphere lovely and service spot on! Alejandro was fantastic. We really enjoyed our time and prices were also good. We'll be back next time we're in Manchester.

Absolutely brilliant as usual! Our daughter got engaged on the Amalfi Coast so we HAD to come and weren’t disappointed! Brilliant service( as always!) and great food. I’m coeliac and it’s never a problem . Great gluten free pasta and everything else. Wine pairing was terrific and our waitress was really well trained and knew her stuff. Totally recommended and excellent value!

Morgan Miller

Me and my partner went to Pizza Express earlier this evening and it’s safe to say I will not be returning. Our food came out at the same time but there was a clear difference in the presentation and size. My partners pizza took up his whole plate, had plenty more toppings and looked more edible. Mine on the other hand was a whole different story. The pizza was no larger than my hand, barely had any cheese and the pepperoni was burnt to a crisp. I believe this is because of my celiac which is unacceptable considering this is an autoimmune disorder that cannot be helped. The service was unsatisfactory, this may have been because the restaurant was busy, but no guest should have to wait 15 minutes to get the bill considering there were plenty of waiters around. Despite this, we were seated fairly quickly, the food came out not long after we ordered and my partner enjoyed his pizza and dough balls very much.

Jeni Illingworth

First time at Kala and it was superb! Plenty of gluten free options for coeliacs and the quality and taste of the food was amazing. The atmosphere and service was great, our server was coeliac too so very knowledgeable about gluten free options and recommendations. The bill wasn’t cheap but then again it was a treat including a lush bottle of wine, but worth every penny. We’re regulars at Kala’s sister restaurant Hispi in Didsbury, but I have to say Kala really upped its game and both me and my husband thought the food was tastier and might make it a new regular even though it’s further away from where we live!

Saskia

Great for coeliacs, they do burrito bowls and you can see all the allergens on their website. Special thank you to Marcin for great service!

Beth Jordan

I’m coeliac (gluten free) and Katie and Imogen were incredibly helpful from the second I approached the till. They were knowledgeable on what I could eat safely immediately, and then even checked all sauces and ingredient’s allergen information thoroughly and quickly. They were very polite and helpful and I will definitely recommend Donershack as a lunch spot to my colleagues from this experience.

Bernadette Mellor

Had a wonderful experience at Hotel Gotham. All the staff were warm, friendly and attentive. A very memorable meal in the Honey Restaurant was made more special by the waiter and chef who went the extra mile for our anniversary and assistance with gluten free alternative.We were taken aback by their thoughtful and kind treat at the end of our meal. The waiter too in Club Brass was so helpful. Certainly a special evening to remember, a special stay and attention to detail was second to none. Concierge left a lovely postcard and gifts in our car. Really appreciated the wonderful staff throughout.

Lysette Trowbridge

Staff so attentive and picked up on me saying gluten free to my partner and action it straight away! Amazing food and service

André Kopperud

Was shopping and wanted sushi for lunch. Since I have a boy with celiac disease, I chose Sushi Dragon after one search in the app "Find Me GF". Sushi dragon certainly lived up to expectations, they had very good sushi at a very good price. For my son, who has celiac disease, they were super helpful in arranging gluten-free for him. I would call this an ever so small "hidden gem". Will definitely buy sushi here when I'm back in Manchester 😁👍🏼

Joonas Kekkonen

We picked Sam’s Chop House for our first night in Manchester and it was the perfect choice. We wanted some proper local food, plus one of our friends has a gluten allergy, and they promised on their website they could accommodate it—which they did, no problem at all. The food was amazing and came out quickly, but what really made the experience was the service. Our waitress, Jaye, was an absolute gem—super friendly, attentive and even took the time to give us some great recommendations for drinks afterward, even if the restaurant was packed and we noticed she was super busy. As tourists, that extra touch made all the difference. If you’re in Manchester and want great British food with top-tier service, this is the place to go. Couldn’t have asked for a better start to our trip!

Lauren Backhouse

Absolutely amazing time here to celebrate a birthday with their premium bottomless brunch - they catered so well to our large party and were amazing to my friend who is gluten intolerant as he got served a full platter to himself. Very attentive from start to finish and we would definitely be going back for one of their tasting evenings! Strongly recommend for anyone who is wanting a different take on a bottomless brunch - lots of great cocktails available and a fantastic treat.

Alison Guy

Excellent steak and was really good with me having gluten free intolerance thank you

Erin R Fogarty

I’ve walked past here manyyyy times but didn’t think i’d be able to really eat anything since i’m gluten-free. was genuinely over the moon to find they can substitute the pasta on most dishes. Food was fantastic, atmosphere is great, and staff are lovely and attentive - 10/10 will defo be coming back 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Katie Forrester

Overpriced. However it's a beautiful pub and the food was delicious. The waiter was also great at talking through gluten-free alternatives. Xmas decorations look like they're from B&M

Suresh Thalange

Good service at this busy restaurant. Great food too. I think the spice level is toned down for the local palate. They also cater for vegans and gluten intolerance, so everyone can go and get some tasty food

Cerys Harvey

Fresh and tasty poke bowl. Cater for gluten free & friendly service. Will definitely return !

D P

Booked by my daughter who’s Coeliac as this is one of the few places she can eat in Manchester. We ate our way through much of the menu, all of which was great, of course daughter could only have the GF options. Left room for puddings which we agreed were delicious. Washed down with a large jug of sangria the restaurant ground floor is popular and bustling - even at 6pm on Saturday evening - so best to book. Staff were very friendly and attentive

Rebecca Taylor

Although full, it didn't feel cramped or crowded. Very friendly and helpful staff and my gluten free afternoon tea was lovely. I would recommend.

John Trehy

Just enjoyed a perfect breakfast with no need for the allergen folder - gluten free toast available for my delicious bacon and eggs. Great coffee too.

Emma Mason

A great place if your gluten free ! I had popcorn chicken with a lovely home made curry sauce ( gluten free and a true comfort food )and a salt and pepper squid, That melted in the mouth ! I only popped in for a drink but after finding out they are gluten free ( even banana fritters !) I had to try ! . Service was lovely. Dan the manager was the most delightful person . He runs the place with a pride and passion I've not seen for a while. . They have great offers for lunch and dinner and drinks offers. And they also do catering for corporate events or local busines lunches. This is a place to watch ! I shall be comming back . Thankyou. For a lovely relaxing meal

Edit. Now a £30 minimum on deliveroo so unfortunately it's become completely prohibitive. What a shame. Beautiful and gluten free! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff that really made us feel at home. It's a bar style quick eatery and the portions are really generous. I'll be back soon!

Heena Patel

Best burritos in Manchester, no competition. I have been here many times and definitely come back. Excellent flavours, good vegan/vegetarian and gluten-free options, good portion sizes, good value. The food here is put together with a lot of thought and passion. Best value for money for the amount of flavour you get. a very organised smooth operation. Seating area can get busy at lunchtimes.

Georgia Baker

Very good, and gluten free options too! The service was great, we had all you can eat steak, and they do a gluten free alternative. The only difference was they bring you gf bread and the salad without croutons everything else is the same! our server Rohan was lovely. Great experience, good value for money.

Peter Mitchell

We had a family gathering of 20 adults, plus 1 child & 1 toddler. Staff were fantastic, allowed us to use our own playlist & pay separately. Food is delicious, between us we ordered too many to mention, including veggie, and gluten-free vegan; all dishes excellent. Menu is varied, not run-of-the-mill fayre, and definitely not overpriced, averaging at about £20pp plus drinks. Highly recommend Wah ji Wah, go with your friends, your family, on a date, or solo, but definitely go. Thanks to the chefs, waiting staff & kitchen staff for a truly memorable evening with fantastic food. *****
