They are very good at offering options for a variety of diets, but experienced some discomfort after. Wouldn’t recommend anything from the kitchen (they have gf wrapped pastries) for anyone with celiac.

What a bummer, I have eaten here a few times. The egg drop soup is watered down broth. Not a fan, which sucks because egg drop soup is mi favorita! The crunchy noodles with the soup are not gluten-free, which I forgot to ask, and the worker just said sorry and hung up the phone. Meh. The Singapore noodles are delicious, though, 3 stars. I'd recommend other places.

Good food and service. Food was over-salted. Atmosphere a bit crowded with so many tables but we were happy to get in and did enjoy our meal. Gluten friendly!

My two friends who are regulars here took me in tonight. I’ve never had Indian food and told the waitress as much, and she recommended the perfect meal for me based on what I told her I liked. I loved the food here and was so happy to see the large variety of gluten free menu items. The friendly and prompt service and atmosphere was absolutely amazing here. It smells amazing and everything felt SO clean. They do an amazing job at everything they do at spice room!!

Great diner that was able to satisfy my hangry gf. The server was very knowledgeable on Celiac's disease, and able to point out what was gluten free on the menu for my girlfriend. I got the French dip w/ fries. It was a classic diner French dip. My girlfriend got a BLT on a gluten free bun. She said it was tasty. They have an IPA of the day for each day.

Have to say went thinking it would be great to hang out and eat some pizza. Since we are gluten free there is a limited but good option. Restaurant was cold and unwelcoming. Decided to get food to go and eat in the car.

One of the Congress Park staples! I love getting to take a walk from my house on any given morning with my dogs and being able to walk up to the window with them to place an order. Everything here is delicious (the almond croissant and the Shannon breakfast sandwich are my favorites). I also love getting one of the rotating agua fresca flavors. Today’s was dairy free horchata and it was amazing!! I also recently got diagnosed with celiac so I greatly appreciate the gluten-free pastry options as well as the ability to get a sandwich on gluten-free bread. Staff is always so kind as well :) Will keep coming back again and again.

One of my top 3 restaurants in Denver right now. The menu was interesting and the perfect size so as to not feel overwhelming. Our server was very knowledgeable and relaxed. Food was plated beautifully with clear intention. Aesthetically minimalist / Scandinavian vibes which always falls flat for me. I enjoy contrast and wish that the design of the space had a more dynamic feel. The tastiest dish was the pig ears and our least favorite was the beef tartare. Though flavor it lacked dimension. Everyone loved the pork shoulder and hamachi collar. The shrimp cake and charred cabbage had exceptional flavors yet texturally weren’t loved by everyone at the table. Nearly all dishes are gluten free. Without a doubt will go back & will recommend!

Mora is the best. I can't even believe there are bad reviews. I've had Mora's multiple times, and yes- you have to wait. But, art takes time. Perfection takes time. Not only is it the best pizza I've ever had, Mora is very accommodating with special requests. Thank you for making my boyfriend's birthday special, Mora!! He even threw in a little surprise dessert as a "happy birthday"! 🎂🧡 Had a gluten free big Mac pizza, the BBQ pizza, and chicken Parm pizza and everyone loved everything!!! Thank you again!!! ☺️

If you love sandwiches, even if you don't think Mary Jane-related humor is funny, you owe this chain a visit. Definitely the best sandwiches I've ever had anywhere. In fact, things here are so good, I've tried a pizza sub served hot as a salad (the friend in question was gluten free and feeling feisty), and even that was great - I really don't think you can go wrong here!
