Top 24 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Spots to Discover in Nova Scotia

Lee Smart

Let me start by saying I knocked a star off for atmosphere because we were the only diners inside!!! Rebecca and the team looked after us brilliantly. The food choice for gluten-free diners is really good and, for those of us that eat anything, I was in heaven!! I failed to finish off the pizza crusts, as delicious and light as they were, as the bowl of seafood chowder I shared with my wife as a starter ended up 90% in my belly and I was a little full!! That chowder was better than any we'd ever tasted in the finest seafood restaurants in Boston or Seattle... The pizza sauce on the Mediterranean Masterpiece (bold title, but it lived up to it) was deliciously full of depth and flavour and the distribution of toppings was perfect - every mouthful was a delight. We are so happy we ate at Little Christo's tonight and just hope we get to eat there again in the future.

What a sweet little place! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and yummy food! Bonus of being family friendly and having lots of gluten free options. Very pleased we found this spot.

Excellent lamb dishes, plenty to eat, and a great selection of gluten-free options for the spouse! Some added touches really set off the experience nicely!

I placed a catering order for my office. The food was very good, no issues there. I ordered and PAID for gluten free pita which I did not receive. When I brought this to the attention of the restaurant I was told we will make sure you get it next time. Sadly this is not something that my office does often so next would likely not be until next year. I was very disappointed with this response. Honestly I likely would not have left this review but the restaurant asked for a review so Im going to be honest and say that I was not overly happy with this order.

So. Many. Gluten-free. Options. I was overwhelmed by choices. Everything was delicious. Dolmades were amazing.

Gluten free accommodation was top notch. Flavours are exceptional. Steak kabab melted in my mouth.

Great place for Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant is gluten free friendly and comes with a huge portion size.

The food here is healthy and delicious and great value. They are very good at dealing with gluten-free and I've never experienced cross-contamination. The people who work here work so hard and do an exceptional job of keeping up with the orders. However, shame on the owners and management of this new minus location. There are never enough people working to handle the volume. They need to step up. And I really hope they appreciate their staff and pay them accordingly.

Enjoyed a lovey family meal at Bitar’s this evening. Lots of Gluten-Free options. I had the GF shish taouk plate. Hummus was exceptional, salad, chicken, rice, and garlic sauce were all sooo tasty. Value was great, and the new renovations also look lovely! Highly recommend for anyone, but this one gets an extra-special recommendation for the gluten free folks.

Love the fact that we have a new “restaurant” in town! My very first time going was fantastic, after that it’s been not too bad! Depending on who you get is depending on how your experience will be. If you get the chance to go when Jamie is working you will have a great experience, she’s super friendly, she listens, she knows what food has an allergy to it such is nice since me and my husband are dairy/gluten free! I definitely think at times they need a bigger seating space but other than that it’s a 4 star for me :)

I have had the pleasure of esting at Darya twice now and both experiences were wonderful. Amazing food and great service, such a beautiful restaursnt and you can't beat the location overlooking the harbour. One thing I love about Darya is that everyone can find something to enjoy on the menu, whether you are gluten free or vegan etc you aren't just stuck eating the one option for your needs on the menu, everyone is able to choose from a variety of dishes at Darya.

I've been popping in over the last year or so and I can honestly say Station1 is one of the top places for vegetarian protien dishes. The fries are amaazing. Had them today. The FALAFELS ARE THE BEST ♡ in HRM perhaps NS imo. The Baklava is well made...YUM. I'll be back to try more of the menu. Lots of gluten free options. There has been some minor price hikes yet that has been happening everywhere. I'd rather put good dollars on good energizing food anyday than carb/junk food fillers. Totally worth it! (Will try upload a photo)

Good value and great taste. Gluten free is great!

I absolutely love everything about USTA!! All the food is fresh and delicious! The staff are always very friendly and pay attention to my gluten-free needs. Lots on the Menu that is naturally gluten-free. I would highly recommend!!

This Ela location is the best. The waitstaff is helpful and responsive. The food is fresh and tasty. They cater well to gluten free diets, with soft and warm gluten-free pita, among other things. The atmosphere is friendly, comfortable and special. Highly recommend.

Oh my goodness have I never felt so good after going out! The food is so clean and authentic that even with digestive issues it felt like I wasn't eating out after. Best pita bread in Halifax no question. Everything about it is perfect from the texture to the fresh steam blowing out when you take a bite. The plates are so filling, healthy, delicious, and the portions are great. As an Arab from Lebanon I can proudly say that the Man'oush is amazing beyond amazing and though I prefer cheese, they are all amazing. It's also the perfect restaurant for someone who is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, or Vegan because of the plates. I don't care who you are, where you live, or what you like, go down to Saj House for a visit and you won't regret it, I promise.

I got the chicken shawarma platter. It was one of the best meals I've had in awhile. I'm gluten free and was so happy they had that option. The chicken was delicious and the bed of rice was so fluffy and seasoned perfectly. I also got fattoush and hummus for the side. The three combined was amazing. Absolutely recommend and will be getting this again very soon

David Jobe

Awesome Greek salad, and gluten free Donair platter.

I have to order gluten free and the young men working were very careful with my order. So much appreciated! I'm sorry that other people may have had to wait a bit while they cleaned the grill, but thank you, staff, very much for your conscientious work and delicious meal.

The atmosphere is great. The decor, music and overall vibe is very appealing. The acoustics are a bit off so it's hard to hear at the other end of the table. Started out with the Garlic Lebneh, very refreshing and you got quite a bit of it. Also got to try the grape leaves and I liked that as well. Others had the Baba Ganoush and Hummus and really enjoyed those. For mains a few at the table got the Kefta kebab (myself included) and chicken tawok. There were mixed reviews, with some enjoying it and others being extremely underwhelmed. I was thoroughly disappointed at the lack of flavour. Nothing about anything on that plate wowed me at all and I've had my fair share of Middle Eastern cuisine. Sad to say that it was barely a step up from Mezza, and for $36 I expect more than just 2 kebabs, 1/2 an onion, 1/2 tomato and 2 jalapeños. Some of us couldn't have the fries because we needed gluten free and there would be cross contamination and there was no real effort to supplement the portion with additional veggies, which really didn't matter in the end because they didn't taste of anything. Two of those who ordered the chicken Tawok expressed severe disappointment in how lacking in flavour their meal was. Regarding drinks, one friend tried the mojito and thought it was disappointing. Another had a glass of wine and loved it. Service was ok; the staff was very friendly but things did get a bit slow. It was almost an hour and a half before we got our mains. I have no problem paying for quality meals, and this just did not deliver.
