The coeliac pizza is flatbread not pizza! .. Not the nicest pizza I’ve every had, but it’s a decent option. They have a gluten free pizza which is cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas, but they have a coeliac “pizza” which is basically a flatbread.

Very tasty food and so many gluten-free options! Was emphatically informed that everything on the menu was halal (went there because several reviews mentioned this too) but it would have been reassuring to see it advertised somewhere too. Service was friendly and caring, though information about allergens and portion sizes was a little confusing at times ("all the dishes are tapas-portions so we recommend getting a mix" vs "that dish is a main so you don't need other dishes"). The atmosphere was generally pretty good for a Saturday night i.e. lively chatter and the music wasn't too loud, though it was very smoky at first but that cleared up soon after.

The place is and will always be amazing!! Budget friendly food and the best cocktails. We went for dinner and genuinely had a great time!! The food is finger liking good, and the best part is they got a gluten-free menu and vegan menu catering to our needs. The cocktails were simply amazing xx. The waiting staff were great, too. A bit loud with the music, but apart from that, it's really good. Definitely recommend.

Everything on their menu is 100% gluten free. They are stationed next to a pizza stand so they do make people aware that there could be flour in the air. I’ve eaten here a number of times and been fine. They’re the best tacos in town.

Really enjoyed my visit here. The inside of the restaurant is decked out to feel like you're really experiencing street food. They had a dedicated gluten free menu which mad choosing very easy and they were able to adapt dishes for another in our party who had a dairy/fish allergy. The service was brilliant, they were very attentive and helpful and the food was lovely, arriving promptly (which was good because we were very hungry that night!). The bill was very reasonable too! I would recommend this to anyone looking for good Thai food.

Service extremely slow - non existent interaction with staff, we just walked in and found a table after waiting a few minutes. Wasn't that busy when we visited, ordered at the bar instead of downloading an app. Very disappointing portion size for the price, food was also not that hot. Tasted ok but wouldn't rush back. The booths with individual TVs were a nice touch to be able to see the TV if you wish. Music very loud so not the best for small babies/children. Very detailed menus - separate ones for gluten free and vegan. Great choice but not well presented.
