Wow! The owner is so nice! He took the time with my girlfriend to explain her the gluten free menu . Everything is done separatly so no chance of cross contamination.

Amazing small family restaurant authentic greek food with gluten free options will be back often

Miriam Lehman

Amazing time and food. We were 3. Stayed away from the dips so that we didn’t have to segregate with normal pita and gf pita. 7 dishes split 3 ways and just gorgeous food. Felt very safe there after asking questions.

Shona Cahill

Excellent attention to detail. Excellent good. Very good variety of gluten free appetisers, mains and desserts. Gluten free pitas, pizzas, pasta. Highly recommend!

Jessica Harper

It was my first time trying this place, and for being celiac certified, it made me feel so much safer to eat here. I got the Ottawa burger and a poutine. Both were hands down, so freaking good. Our server Dawn was also amazing she made me and my family feel very welcoming. You guys should also start selling you bacon mayo. I would buy that by the truck loads. Lol

The Bread Essentials

The Gluten Free Tabulé and the pita bread was great! Everything I had was Gluten Free and we all had a great dinner and evening, we even purchased Kefte to cook at home.

Jennifer Iacono

Amazing lamb!!! Great gluten-free wraps, too!

Wai-Lee Lau

We had a great experience. Service was great. Food was yummy. There was a dessert flight at the end. We had a couple of food allergies and gluten intolerance and they were very accommodating.

Manon Hachey

Upon arriving, the hostess was great. Our server, Taylar, is a gem! Very knowledgeable, polite, and very pleasant. I wasn’t sure what to order and she pointed out some great items from the gluten free menu. I was very pleased to see such a great variety. She was very attentive to our needs and made sure she checked in at appropriate times. We always love going to GT’s. The food, drinks, music, and above all, the staff are great.

Rachel Millar

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!!!! EXCEPTIONAL FOOD + OUTSTANDING SERVICE by our hostess Sainsha equals us returning for a second time during our mini vacay. Between our two visits - We had the K-Saq to start … followed by Lebanese Cevapi, Here comes the Bride, Grilled Balkan Beef & Lamb Cevapi, Maros Special … For drinks - the kids had Iced Lattes & we loved the Tehran Underground cocktail which totally topped off our experience. Sainsha was extremely attentive, and caring helping us with our questions as we had no idea how big the portion sizes would be. So listen to her when she tells you if it’s too much lol ! She was also great in helping baknce our palate which we appreciated greatly. Topping all of that off with the fact that I am Gluten intolerant so having a variety of dishes to choose from totally made my day. Thank you Sainsha & Maro’s for being a memorable part of our trip this time … a 10/10 You guys know how to make everyone, especially visitors feel special … Keep doing what you’re doing!!

Absolutely love eating here, the vibe is amazing and the staff are top tier! The food and atmosphere are so unique and as a Gluten Free Vegan who doesn't drink, trust me when I say this is a haven. I have been a few times so I have tried most of the food. Alot of the menu is already edible for me as is, but the majority of the menu can be accommodated to a vegan and/or gluten free diet which is amazing. The mocktails are equally fantastic. Watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen is the best, and the Management team and Madison in Events are always the most generous and accommodating. If you are so lucky to have service from Joseph, you will leave a very happy and full man! Can't wait to be back in the summer for Jungle Brunch!

Amazing place. Affordable pricing, generous portions and great service. I've been eating here about twice a week for a while now and I've not had a single bad experience. I love the chicken shawarma plate. I feel full but not bloated. Their rice pudding is incredible, and has a hint of roses in the flavour. Both are available as gluten free options. The inside is beautifully decorated. Very peaceful. They have leather seating and benches. I have taken my family here and we have had an incredible time.

Nadia Larouche

The service here is fantastic. The menu changes with the season, which keeps it fresh and interesting. The menu is very gluten friendly, with lots of excellent substitutions. They are by far the most accommodating restaurant for gluten sensitivities.

Daniel Francavilla

The food is always on-point. Incredible selection, so much to try. Always good for a group, either pickup or dine-in. However, service is an issue as they awkwardly require everything to be paid for at the cash and guests can’t order anything to the table. It’s high quality, just note that there’s lots of extra charges for sauces and such, and the cost for additional wraps, especially gluten free, is disproportionately high.

The food was okay, but not great. I had the gluten-free pizza, and unfortunately, the crust was disappointing—I’ve had better at Domino’s. My boyfriend ordered the chicken, which was dry and lacked flavor, and the rice tasted undercooked and slightly hard. My friend had the mushroom pasta, which she said needed more flavor, though she did enjoy it overall. The biggest letdown, however, was the wait time—it felt like almost an hour before our food arrived. On the bright side, our waiter was wonderful—super friendly and welcoming, which helped make up for some of the negatives. Overall, it was an average experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Alice Leung

Tabule has always been my favourite restaurant, my top choice for lunch in the neighborhood. The menu offers a variety of healthy options including gluten free items. The staff here are all pleasant and helpful especially Mina. I look forward to see her there every time.

Trudy Lucas

Their falafals are so tasty, gluten free, fresh made. We love their biodegradable side dish containers and paper packaging. So eco friendly.

Cassandra Tyler

Ordered GLUTEN FREE meal and state Ted eating It and It had pita chips. NOT gluten free. Was extremely sick. This place either has super uneducated staff or just don’t care. Don’t go if you have allergies

Some meals don’t just fill you up. Instead, they transport you. ALMADINA, a family-run gem feeding KW for over 40 years, feels like a warm memory on a plate. With four locations (including long-loved market stalls at St. Jacobs and Kitchener), it’s a household name in the region. Everything is made from scratch, in-house: no shortcuts, just generations of tradition and care. We began with the famous salad plate: roasted red pepper hummus (a forever fave), creamy tzatziki, and bright, gluten-free taboulee. Fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour. The falafel? Crispy, golden, and satisfying — exactly how grandma wishes she made them. The shawarma manakeesh, roasted in their woodstone oven, struck a perfect balance of veggie, cheese, and tender chicken. The mixed grill was pure comfort: juicy shish kabob, tawook, and kofta. No sauce needed, though that red pepper hummus pairs with everything. To sip: their strawberry lemonade is summer in a glass — tart, sweet, and refreshing. We closed with hot mint tea, simple and soothing.

I had a wonderful experience here with my partner! We thoroughly enjoyed that everything was Vegan and furthermore there were clear labels for what was gluten free and soy free. Made the experience relaxing knowing that there were so many choices for someone with food restrictions. Even when it wasn’t GF. It could be made GF. I’m wowed by that! Thank you!

Brodie River

BiBi’s in Hintonburg offers delicious Middle Eastern dishes with a modern twist. Their shawarma, falafel, and hummus are always on point, and they have great vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual meal. Highly recommend it for anyone craving fresh, flavorful food!

Dianne Smith

Visiting from Manitoba and was blown away by the service and the food. I have celiac disease and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable. Many items were gluten free. Highly recommend.

Mike L

Oh my, gluten free meat and cheese pies! We need to go back there! SO delicious. 😋

Beatrice Emery

Liam Kinnon

Really good gluten free experience. Staff knew the details around shared fryer and the ingredients in the food.

Mike Somerville

Great gluten friendly place!!!

Joanne McCallum

As someone with celiac disease, I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the team at Pita Pit. Every single time I visit, they go above and beyond to ensure my meal is safe and prepared with the utmost care. I'm consistently impressed by their diligence in: Checking ingredients: They always take the time to double-check ingredients and confirm what is safe for me. Cleaning practices: I've observed their thorough cleaning of surfaces and use of clean utensils to minimize cross-contamination, which is critical for my peace of mind. Minimizing chances of cross-contamination: Their attentiveness to my specific needs, often changing gloves and using fresh ingredients from new containers, truly makes a difference. It's rare to find a quick-service restaurant that understands and prioritizes these concerns so well. This level of dedication makes it possible for me to enjoy a delicious and safe meal out, and for that, I'm incredibly grateful. Thank you, Pita Pit team, for your exceptional service and commitment to food safety.

I am addicted to their falafel in a pita. It's perfection. Note they also have a gluten free wrap that my wife loves.

Lovely diner with great food and accommodated for gluten free. I had the Shakshuka with sausage and gluten free bread, with a freshly squeezed orange juice. Delicious food, just make sure to ask how you prefer your eggs, it was a bit too runny for me so next time I will specify. Overall great place and lovely staff.

Nancy Pilzecker

I shared dinner with seven of my sorority sisters this evening. We had a little area to ourselves with our waitress or server Robin. Everything about the evening was perfect, including Robin. She anticipated our needs for drinks and for take out boxes and we did not have to wait for our appetizers with the meals coming shortly thereafter. The timing for the entire meal was just perfect. I also have celiac disease with tree nut and shell fish allergies. Both Robin and the Head Chef made sure I was accommodated and I had no issues. I ordered the pork loin dinner and it was moist and tender. It was a large meal for me to finish so I now have a second meal to enjoy at home. A big thank you to Robin and Paradiso for a wonderful pre-Christmas celebration. We were also given a gift certificate to use on our next visit and I will be bringing my hubby back to enjoy this special place. Nancy

So I been going here to the barrhaven location for a long time n I love it the food is always fresh the potions are small depending who’s working but that’s not even my issue !! I recently found out I have a gluten allergy ! So I told the lady n asked her to change her gloves cause I can’t have my food contaminated she was kinda rude about it then passed it down the lane without telling the other lady so she didn’t change her gloves which I didn’t notice at first cause I thought the other girl would make sure, so comes to the third lady I had to tell her!! The customer service isn’t very good n when somone has an allergy they should take that very seriously!! I would love to b able to have a pita but unfortunately I can’t !! Move over I just want to make it known to who ever it’s not our fault for our allergies ! I’m paying for ther service I expect good service n I don’t need the dirty looks !!

While in Ottawa for the day, I met and had a beautiful dinner in the early evening with my niece on November 5th, at Cyranos, my 3rd time there; Paula was our very thoughtful and thorough server. (I have lactose and gluten intolerances.) As a starter, the “creamed” tomato soup, sans lactose, wow! Main for me was the grilled marinated lamb chops, rare and fabulous! I look forward to my next visit! Thank you Cyranos staff!

Aletta Clark

Absolutely delicious. Had the Shakshuka and it was fabulous with the gluten free bread which still held up to a good “scoop” of sauce. The only negative was watching all the other delicious “gluteny” foods going out that I couldn’t eat 😝 Coffee was excellent too, and I can be a bit of a coffee snob. I wish we lived here, I’d come every weekend.

Mike Redding

Great gluten free!

Fernand St-Onge

Great find! Delicious food! Gluten free Delicious!

Rob McLennan

Great food and excellent service. Very friendly staff and most helpful. We had a gluten free pizza and some drinks.

Thamara Dominguez

I love this restaurant! They have delicious gluten-free pizza and pasta, plus an exquisite peanut butter cheesecake. Also gluten-free.

מיתר פלדמן

The food is delicious but the service was annoying. Many different and uncoordinated waiters served us. They took advantage of the fact that we are tourists to make them pay for mineral water when it is clear that this is not what they intended. They serve gluten-free pasta (I don't usually like corn pasta, but it was good and well-made) but there is no marking on the menu about dishes that can be served gluten-free, and verbally they gave confused answers. We made a reservation in advance and yet we were seated at the bar. There was annoying music in the background throughout the event.

Catherine Dunn

SO rude. falsely advertised gluten free menu and then IDing my family and I when we are clearly 21 and over. pompously and thinks they are above everyone. we left and didn’t even order . what a joke. not loyal to locals.

My friend and I both enjoyed our dinners. They have lots of gluten-free options, which is nice. And the atmosphere of the old train station is wonderful, especially outside.

Matthew Redican

Not enough can be said about this restaurant. From the first time I went there, it has become my favourite restaurant in Sudbury. The atmosphere is very nice, with wine racks throughout, positioning it as a finer establishment but, when you look around, guests are in suits and dresses, shorts and sandals or even high-viz gear, clearly visiting during or after work. In the summer, there is a good-sized patio for those who like to enjoy the outdoors, though I generally prefer to be inside. There is an online and dial-in reservation system, which I recommend using, as they have a loyalty rewards program tied to the phone number used to make the reservation. Also, as one of the most popular restaurants in Sudbury, they fill up fast most days, so a reservation is always best. Service is consistently prompt and friendly without rushing you. This has been especially noticeable during business lunches, as we can review the menu, enjoy a leisurely meal, pay, and be on our way within the hour. Recently, I've been there a couple of times on weekends and have been served by Chris, who is very professional but has a good sense of humour. Now... the food. I've taken many people there - friends, family, clients - and everyone has thoroughly enjoyed their meal - not even one "meh". One recently said it was the best meat sauce she had ever tried, and I have to agree. (They even sell the sauce to go, I discovered.) All food is fresh, and they've mentioned that even many of their desserts are homemade... and several of them were gluten free, which was a treat for my daughter. My personal favourite is the Limoncello Tartufo, which is very light after a big meal. The price is, well, maybe on the low end of what you would expect for fresh, quality food in a fine dining establishment. Entree's are generally $20-$30, of course more if you're getting something like steak or salmon. All in all, it's a great place and worth the visit (repeatedly, in my case). I encourage visitors to include it in their plans for sure, and locals to try it too. Buon appetito!
