Ashley Harris

AMAZING GF PITA! Celiac certified in Australia!

Primrose Holland

Fantastic service, wonderful food and very high confidence in coeliac safety!!

Hanneke Pastoor

Eating here was a treat! The food was amazing and the service was superb. They really understand coeliac and cater to it well. I felt very comfortable eating here and am very sad I have to fly back home today and cannot come back tomorrow!

Rebecca Jaques

Fantastic GF Greek food. Helpful staff and Coeliac Australia accredited. I felt very safe eating there. Food was even labelled with GF sticker etc.

Ben Grant

Gorgeous space, good music and right on the river. Plus, they accommodated gluten-free effortlessly.

Maureen P

Fries and other fried foods are not cooked in a separate fryer, so not coeliac safe - separate utensils but no separate preparation processes. Really helpful and kind management and staff, but we chose not to risk it. (We have eaten here prior to a coeliac diagnosis in our family and it’s truly delicious!!)

Ellen M

Great lunch meal (gyros plate) my god it was huge - great GF chips and Pita.

Svetlana Micallef

Coeliac friendly

Lyn Dennis

Our group of seven were so well looked after. The extensive Gluten Free menu was well appreciated. So many gluten free desserts, it was difficult to choose. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. The view is amazing also. Staff were very obliging.

Lisa Taylor

Definitely celiac friendly seperate fryer for chips and plenty of GF choices

Sheree Murray

Amazing food & no reaction!

Riannon Clancy

No longer 100% gluten free, and can’t even cater for it adequately despite saying they can on their menu - didn’t notify us until 30 mins before our booking despite us specifying “gluten free” in our booking 5 days in advance, and couldn’t offer substitutions for their set menu (their menu now says only a couple of things aren’t gluten free, but we were told anything on the grill is no longer gluten free, so the menu is incorrect as well). To make matters worse, they take the full amount from your card for the set menu at the time of booking upfront, and then you have to wait days to get your money back if you’re not going. This place was an institution for coeliacs - if that’s why you were going, don’t bother.

The food was so delicious- we had the $95pp set menu and everything was amazing. Great service, great vibes, great drinks. The lamb was particularly wonderful. They were also amazing at catering for a friend’s dietary requirements (gluten free and dairy free) - lots of the food was still possible and the alternatives were delicious! We’ll definitely be back.

Sarah

Excellent service and even better food. Yaya's is a great family friendly restaurant that caters well to gluten free. Staff went above and beyond

Helen Seleim

We went here to try the food as my friend is celiac and they offer gluten free options. Food was yummy. Lamb pieces were abit tough but the other 2 skewers were a hit! Rice was bland but the yoghurt helped. Ambience is nice though tables were very crowded in small space.

MID Overall, we had a mixed experience – some dishes were delicious, but several service and food issues kept the evening from being truly special. • Tasty mains: The lamb (with potatoes) was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. • Great gluten-free dessert: The gluten-free rhubarb dessert was a wonderful end to the meal – creative and flavorful. Areas for Improvement • Slow service for basics: Water service was slow, and one of our cocktails was forgotten until we reminded the staff. • Service slip-ups: A waiter dropped cutlery near our table, and we were almost served a drink in a chipped glass (caught just in time). • Table clutter: Unused wine glasses stayed on our table all night, which felt cluttered and unnecessary. • No dish explanations: Each dish was delivered with no description or introduction, leaving us guessing what we were eating. • Food quality issues: Some ingredients not fresh – the cauliflower salad had pomegranate seeds that tasted old, and a gluten-free zucchini flower appetizer had an off (fishy) taste. • Burnt dessert: Unfortunately, the churros we ordered came out burnt, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion.

Finally, an arab bakery that does Gluten Free. The staff is so helpful and kind, and the food is fantastic.

Rob Whitby

Absolutely amazing Gluten Free Greek lunch

Jorge Aguirre

Asked for a gluten free pizza for a Friend: she says is one of the best she's had. The other two also were very good and tasty. Totally recommend this place

Rachel Cooper

Fantastic dining experience. Lots of Gluten Free options, which us why we came, but we were delighted by the warm welcome and fabulous service. We will definitely be back.

baibri

Very helpful with a seperate gluten free menu offered for the GF foodies. Food always on point! Only thing I would recommend is more lemon on those roast potatoes (or on the side) YUM!

cheyanne chilby

great staff they are celiac safe just need to tell them and they happily accomidate

Jenny S

Best souvlaki ever.and this is coming from 100% Greeks. Best part mama diagnosed celiac after birth and first time got to eat pita souvlaki after many years..thank you

Mellisa Fracaro

Really lovely gluten free options. Cute cafe with great service

Daniel Papas

Authentic Greek cooking (I’m a Greek) and great gluten free options for coeliac

Jon Ford

Really good.. perfect even? Gluten free base is unreal.. flavour, consistency-wise👌. Currently addicted to loaded pepperoni with a bbq swirl.. do they put crack in it? 🤣 . I sometimes order the Southern style tenders as a side as well which are 1000x better than kfc

John Baulis

Lovely restaurant with delicious food and plenty of gluten free options. The gluten free garlic bread was an absolute winner!!!

Maria Claydon

The worst food I have eaten in a very long time. Bivouac used to be amazing what happened?! The fried potatoes which sounded like they would be crispy were chunks of greasy potato with a horrible sauce that left a weird aftertaste in your mouth. The crispy skin pork was stale and soggy skin. When I gave feedback I was told that’s because they cook it in the oven and fry it… not oh I’m sorry let me fix this. Ridiculous excuse. The chimichurri was not chimichurri it was like a weird tasteless spinach thing. The sauces were flavourless. Honestly it was hard to find anything I enjoyed at a once great restaurant. I will say there are many gluten free options and the chicken wasn’t dry. Those are the only positives I can find.

Rebecca Dean

Fantastic food at a beautiful venue. The service was friendly and attentive, and they cater to coeliac requirements in a very welcoming manner! They can make almost everything (apart from the fried options) coeliac friendly, and the banquet and skewers we had were delightful and extremely generous! The baba ganoush and tabbouleh were some of the best I've ever had!

Tara Nath

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed dining at the Mez Club. They do a contemporary take on Moroccan food. Excellent food and very creative cocktails! Many of the dishes are vegetarian and/or gluten free. The crème brûlée is a must try! Staff are lovely.

Y.S

We had paella, lamb salad, saganaki prawns, pan-fried veal, affogato, and tiramisu. The paella was a touch salty, but the lamb salad totally made up for it—it was spot on! I also loved that they had plenty of gluten-free options, which made the whole experience even better for me!”

A pre-booked table not ready when we arrived. All good we were seated a few minutes later. The wait staff seemed distracted and distraught when I advised that our group was not having the set menu. Wait staff seemed to think this was a given. Only 1 drinks menu available for the table we asked several times. Ordered wine took 45 minutes to have that delivered. Others on the table had their mains sides delivered prior to entree. One of our group is coeliac and ordered a GF free option which was delivered with bread on the plate! Noisey atmosphere staff were overrun. We were not asked about the bill payment for our large group and we had to rock up 1 x 1 and relay what each person/couple were paying for. Very weird. The food when it finally arrived (mine anyway) was hot fresh and tasty. Other group members complained about a serving size of a lamb shoulder. Limited wine list and average quality with above average pricing. It’s a big no from myself and others in our group. The wait staff were friendly enough but just not focused or way too distracted. I will not be returning an extremely expensive and disappointing night all round and sad as it was a ‘celebration’ for 2 of our group. I was embarrassed that I suggested this place & the interstate visitors were not impressed.

Yas Elh

Favorite Lebanese place ever. Consistently good and amazing gluten free options too. 100% recommend.

Bren Kentwell

Amazing gluten free food! Honestly if you're gluten free this is the best place I've encountered in Canberra

Andrea Lush

Absolutely delicious gluten free souvlaki bowl, cappuccino amazing, donuts delicious Highly recommended.

Leonie Noble

They had a separate gluten free menu. The food was delicious and the staff were very accommodating

I’ve been a regular customer for years.. I usually order the meal for myself and my little girl which is usually more than enough. This time the meal came filled with chips and some meat thrown on the top. After I brought this to their attention and asked what caused the portion of meat to drastically change into half the usual quantity, I got told ‘they weigh the meat’! A laughable answer. On the top of that, …. I usually get gluten free bread on the side which is an extra charge, makes total sense but to also charge me for the pita bread that’s meant to be part of the meal is shocking. This used to be our fave place because of the consistency of the food and the service. Very disappointing to see how greedy they have become. That is certainly my last visit.

Emily Lyn

Great gluten free options!!

Ellie

The quality of the food was exceptional, so fresh and so flavourful. The menu was well rounded and diverse. The prices were equal to the high quality of the food. They have lots of gluten free options also.

Dav Cowper

Incredible. Friendly and attentive service, confident and assuredly gluten free. Great food and a big portion. Mixed platter had a good amount of everything. Best falafel I've ever had. Fresh banana smoothie.

Waseem Kamleh

Delicious middle eastern food, with many gluten free options. Highly recommended.

Susan Chisholm

Best Yiros outside Greece! Loaded with the most deliciously tender lamb you’ll ever eat . A terrific family run local business producing great food! (If you’re gluten free there’s also an excellent gf pita available)

C L

Had the most delicious bacon and egg roll (with the most amazing gluten free bun) Just delicious! Great service from staff too. I will be back!

Kim Douglas

Fantastic from every aspect. Food was perfect - lamb and fish outstanding. Gluten free bread was great as was the gluten management ;). Hosts were super engaged and helpful and charming. Loved it.

Zoe Van Praag

Gluten free options are amazing!! Beautiful food and friendly service. The gluten free kebabs are really nice and prepared free from cross contamination.

Daisy Ng

Wonderful gluten free pita. My boy had the chicken pita bread gluten free and removed the spicy and dairy ingredient in its app. The pita was nice when it was served warm. I had the standard mini chicken wrap. Love this Greek street food. We like the alfresco sitting area too.

Charlotte Carpentier

A lovely place on the waterfront, our waitress was amazing and very knowledgeable about my daughter’s coeliac disease and what gluten free options there were. Food was great, we had the steak specials and the pasta. Would definitely recommend it!

David Cullen

WOW - totally 5 stars best resturant in Sydney and if your Gluten Free even better 90% of the menu is fine. 5 stars

Phil Morus
