We had a fabulous experience here. Everything gluten and dairy free are marked on the menu. As someone who has to avoid gluten for medical reasons, I am always excited to discover a new-to-me restaurant. Our server was fantastic. He brought out gluten free pitas for us and asked when we ordered if we were celiac. The food was incredible. I'm disappointed that it isn't a chain because I am hardly ever in the area and would love to come back. The Egyptian-themed decor was great. What a nice spot!

Unfortunately, my experience at Taverna was very disappointing. I was shocked to learn that they don’t allow guests to bring in a gluten-free or vegan cake—even for a special celebration—yet their suggested alternative was yogurt. Yes, yogurt as a gluten-free dessert option.
When I politely asked about this, the staff were incredibly rude and dismissive, hiding behind “restaurant policy.” According to NB Food Services, guests are permitted to bring in allergen-sensitive items like gluten-free or vegan cakes when proper precautions are taken, so this excuse just didn’t hold up.
Overall, the lack of flexibility and the attitude from staff made for a really frustrating experience. Definitely won’t be returning or recommending this place.
