Top 10 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Englishtown

Madison Sileo

My family and I have been coming here for years and won’t be coming back. We decided to come out for dinner around 8 pm (they close at 9) and the server was evidently busy. We patiently waited for menus and to order drinks, giving him the benefit of the doubt. He eventually took our order for food, with us getting 3 entrees total. My mom ordered eggplant rollatini in red sauce with a side of gluten free penne vodka. Her food came out first and the whole dish was in vodka sauce. We mentioned how the dish was supposed to be and instead of apologizing for the mess up, our server sighed and proceeded to tell us how they close in 15 minutes. He didn’t check on us once to make sure everything came out okay. He gave me the wrong pasta, and I didn’t bother saying anything because I didn’t want to be scolded. 10 minutes into us getting our food, we overheard a coworker asking the server “they’re not done?” “no they’re not” and the coworker who was the CHEF came in the dining room staring at us. It was so uncomfortable, we asked for boxes and the check. If there was an issue with staffing or they didn’t want to seat past a certain time, we would’ve been fine going somewhere else. I’ve never had an experience like this at any restaurant and it’s disappointing because we love their food.

Don’t eat here if you have celiac disease. Alerted my server of my gluten allergy and he insisted they had a gluten free fryer. 30 minutes later I was already having a severe reaction. Shame because their menu is labeled all over as GF, but I would not recommend if you are sensitive to cross contamination.

I love this restaurant! I originally chose to try it out because it is vegan and was a nice halfway point for me and a friend to meet (I drive from Philly, my friend drives from NYC), and that meal has lived in my head rent free ever since. The breakfast board was so luxurious and fresh, my friend and I shared it along with menemen, some boreks, and some desserts (including baklava, obviously - it was outstanding). They were also super accommodating for my gluten free partner, they said anything and everything on the food menu is available gluten free. I went again last weekend and did a pickup order to go - got a spiced chickpea wrap, menemen, boreks, some baklava, and the most exquisite pistachio matcha latte. There was no effect on the quality of the food, it was still great even packed up to go. I’ll be going again soon! It’s over an hour drive for me but so worth it. The food is delicious and every employee I’ve interacted with has been super nice and helpful both in person and over the phone. I will say that atmosphere wise, both times I have been there it was packed (for good reason), so it may be difficult to get a table if you have a large group, but if you can it’s quite lovely. And if not, there is no difference in quality if you take your order to go, so you get to enjoy yourself either way.

Amazing food and service. The owner is very nice and the portions are out of this world! This is a great place to pick up chinese food because the prices are good and the food is great. They have options for all type of people like vegetarian, gluten free, etc. if you're in the area this is a great place to stop by and get food that will satisfy you and not hurt your wallet!

Such a great little neighborhood place. The food and service are always anmazing and they also offer a nice selection of gluten free items.

Food was amazing, the wait for the food could have been a little better. Our waitress was amazing, but definitely overworked. So why two stars? I have a gluten free daughter. 1) They advertise a gluten free cheesecake, that they do not have 2) they up charge for gluten free pasta. Having celiacs disease is not a trendy choice, it’s something she has to live with. Stop charging more because you had to boil a new pot of water.

Food is delicious and the service is excellent. Family style portions are gigantic! Gluten free options, too.

Food was amazing and presentation was great. Will 100% be back. The food was all super fresh as well! The manager, Faye, sat with me with the menu, most things are marked but some dishes are available to be made with gluten free soy sauce. The food was amazing. Attached is the menu we marked (sorry I forgot to mark some crab that wasn’t gluten free) and tried to make it as clear as possible and attached are pics of the food. Any sushi rolls that have crunchier I wrote (GF no crunchies) next to it.
