The waiter Michael was very nice, went above and beyond to make our experience great! There is a great gluten free menu. The food is great my whole family loved it.

I enjoyed getting takeout from here as someone with celiac since they offer the gluten free injera..however, once they served me the non gf injera :(

Michael Malenfant

Went there with my family since two of us are gluten sensitive. Healthy food served in a warm atmosphere, with fun variety beyond your standard Indian Restaurant. Fast service, Easy to eat gluten free with many choices, and reasonable prices. Definitely a favorite of mine and one kid, so it is pretty darn good. Ate here two days in a row!!!

From the minute we walked in to the restaurant Chanel took amazing care of us. I have celiac disease and Chanel was very accommodating to my dietary restriction. She even went out of her way to bring me a side of veggies when she brought out the table bread. Our meals were all done perfectly and we enjoyed our experience very much!

Alex T

Had the most wonderful dinner experience. Mind blowing spices and flavors traversed at reasonable prices. Service was so fast and smooth, before you even finish ordering your food is there. Nathan was the most knowledgeable gluten free expert and set me up with a great meal for the evening. Will return!

Amanda Johnston

Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Server was attentive. Great place to visit. Gluten free pasta options.

Great gluten free food!

Sara French

Every time we come to Arlington, we "end up" eating here at least once & every time it's great. Always a relief to find gluten free options. Ingredients are fresh, service is quick & folks are friendly. Outdoor seating is nice too!

Great for breakfast and dinner. I created my own omelette with spinach and Swiss. Everything was super fresh including the hash browns. They also have vegetarian and gluten free options. I had the gluten free sweet potato raviolis with quinoa. It was delightful.

Rachel Howden

First time here and I loved it! Serving size was awesome and probably one of the best food to price ratios in the area! Authentic and flavorful. Great gluten free options.

Jessica Martin

Definitely a hidden gem of a place, with a great atmosphere for sitting and chilling with friends. Servers are kind and attentive-you can tell they love working there. The food is good too, especially the fish & chips, onion rings and sausage rolls. My friend said the house beer was good too, and the Irish coffee was wonderful! There are definitely options for natural gluten-free foods, like burgers without buns and salads and nachos, but nothing is noted as GF on the menu. I’m sure the servers would be happy to answer questions though if you ask though. Definitely plan to be back!

I definitely was hesitant to try this place at first due to the availability of cheaper Thai restaurants in walking distance. However, after teammates visiting for work from Asia told me this place was the real deal— I had to check it out. This restaurant is certainly some of the more authentic Thai food that you’ll find in general on the east coast. It reminded me of the food I ate when visiting Bangkok. I really enjoyed my meal, and dietary restrictions like gluten etc were clearly labeled on the menu. The portions were also very decent. I will definitely be coming back.

Ate dinner here while staying an unexpected night at the Residence Inn next door. I have Celiac disease, and Cristian and the chef were wonderful and made sure to use separate pasta water and prepare my meal gluten-free. I really appreciated it. Affordable for a hotel restaurant, and the food was good.

Sabrina Leckemby

I would give 6 stars for service if I could. I went for the first time this morning and asked if anything was gluten free. The cashier (wish I had his name) went over all the options, and modified options I could get. It was just really kind and super accommodating, and the food was delicious, especially the sauce they use. Ended up getting the “mayor sandwich” without the bread and I’ll def be back for this! They also bagged it up for easy transport for me to take home on my bike. I live a few blocks away so it’s nice to ride down to the Water Park for a quick meal, especially now for breakfast.

Judith Bowles

I went there with a no gluten friend, a vegan friend, I'm no pork and someone who has been to Thailand several times. Two are drinkers and we all wanted to sit outside. Everyone was satisfied. As I judge all Thai restaurants by the pad Thai, this one was good. I like more egg and tofu but the sauce had a balanced taste and the right consistency.

Staff so accommodating for dairy and gluten intolerance! Able to make Thai Tea with Boba and Cashew Chicken (pictured).

This place was definitely SURREALLLLL 😂. We came to celebrate our anniversary. From the start, the service was amazing. Our server, Nicole, just gave off this genuine vibe and provided amazing service. Probably one of THE BEST I’ve experienced in a long time. Our water glass never was empty and even the manager checked on us several times! I have a gluten allergy and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating to my needs. The flavors and food…chefs kiss 🤌🏼. They definitely made our anniversary one to remember!

We came here on a whim before heading to the airport (~10 mins away) and we still haven’t stopped talking about it!! Fantastic burgers, salads, fries, shakes and lemonade. Everyone was happy with the food, and **we’re all gluten or dairy free! Truly great food and very reasonably priced, $15 or less per meal. Only docked an atmosphere point since the music was so loud we couldn’t talk to each other, but hey we were also busy eating. Seemed like a lot of workers and locals liked this place too. If you miss out on this place, there’s another location inside the airport. This was a win for us!!✨
