Amazing burger, very allergy friendly, gluten free options were incredible. Services was also incredible.

I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.

Really good meal! Lots of gluten free options that were helpfully labeled and the staff was super attentive. We ordered the saganaki (flame cooked cheese), dip of the day which was spicy feta, then also shared the village salad and the combination souvlaki with various meat dishes. The portions were generous. The gyros were a little bland and the chicken was somewhat overcooked but the lamb chops were delicious. Great tzatziki! They did have a 4% surcharge to pay with a card and only a small sign at the entrance about it, so I suggest bringing cash if you have it.

Great experience. Best tomato soup I’ve ever had. Turkey burger is delicious, and I’m not normally a turkey burger fan. Pearson provided great service. Many healthy options on the menu - gluten free, vegan/vegetarian. Pizzas are tasty and salads are creative. Recommend.

I was recommended this restaurant due to their gluten free selection. Loved the cauliflower as well as the mint tea. Thank you, Nathan, for being a fantastic server!

Gina Williams

The service was excellent!!

Ashley Radzat

Sabrina was kind, informative, and very friendly. The food was the perfect size and the taste was excellent. We had the Korean Noodles with chicken and being somebody that is Gluten free it was amazing to have friend chicken options!!

Stephanie Courtney

Such an incredible place with a dedicated celiac safe gluten free menu. I felt completely at ease (a rarity for me), and the menu includes cocktails so I was able to indulge in a mojito!

Gail Tyler

This is hands down the best ever gluten-free pizza I've ever had. If I didn't know any better, I would never have guessed!

Devang Mistry

Fantastic experience and absolutely amazing food! Carla our server did an incredible job recommending certain options. We tried pita falafel sandwich, Mahmara dip with chips and then gluten free chcolate mousse along with handmade baklava for desserts. Great food and authentic food, we will be back for sure!!

Aaron Stanek

Gluten free pita!

Paula Tsoi-A-Sue

Nice update! They added some extra gluten free and vegan options since the last time I was here. It was my first time here for brunch so I tried and loved the breakfast tacos(not vegan). Psyched to come back and try some of the new stuff 😋

Betsy

Lots of gluten free options. This time they even made the gf mushroom and spinach pizza that is not in menu! Turkey burger is always a win!

Was in Cupertino about a week ago, visiting from the east coast for a few days. My wife and I liked this place so much we stopped in twice. Seems silly for what is technically a local chain but I'd do it again on another trip. First time there I had the Pita Beef Kebab. Thought it was fantastic! Second time around we needed a lighter dinner so we split a the Saturday special they had for the Hummus lamb. We did that one on the Gluten Free pita which tasted just as good as any pita I've every had. Split the Malabi for desert and although I'm not a huge custard or pistachio fan, I found it rather enjoyable.

Amazing spot with lots of gluten free options. Staff took great care of us as out of towners. Thank you!!

i’m gluten free, lactose free, vegetarian and more. safe to say finding food i can eat is a challenge. was about to start the end of the drive back for a road trip and i felt AWFUL. we went here to grab a bite and my entire mood changed. the people we so warm and kind, there were so many options for me, and the food was so flavorful. they let me know they had dedicated gf and vegan fryers, and were easily able to accommodate a wheelchair. if you need a place to stop for a bite and you don’t know what you want, or have dietary restrictions, or lots of people with different diets this is the place to be.

celiac safe truffle fries!!! and the salmon rice place was amazing 🤩

Being gluten-free, even the slightest cross-contamination affects me, but this restaurant handled my gluten-free order with exceptional care. The owner was incredibly understanding, taking the time to explain the meticulous process they follow to ensure gluten-free meals. I'm beyond grateful for their attention to detail and consider it outstanding service. Not to mention, the food was incredible—I left feeling full, with more than half of my plate still untouched.

Love the ambience, food and wine here! They have one of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had and their happy hour happy meal is fantastic!

Todd Henderson

Sat on the patio, loved the gluten free options. My tuna melt was great.

Donna Gill

Jen Johnson

The food was wonderful. It's hard to find a restaurant that has good gluten free options that the kids and adults will all like. Our waiter wasn't the friendliest, but when there was an issue with some chicken that had been ordered, handled it quickly and notified the manager who was very quick to resolve this issue. Would definitely recommend.

Ru Sambhi

Really lovely servers. The gluten free, vegan pies were delicious - could not tell the difference!

Jimmy Caldwell

The gluten-free pizza was amaaaaazing and they even came out to assure me that the gf fries were done in separate oil from other things, I loooooved all of it! Wonderful

Lucy Tyrala

We have been customers for over 5 years! We love their food and it’s so great they offer gluten free options. It is run by a very sweet family and they are always so kind and welcoming.

Jason Staczek

I really enjoyed the food. The gluten-free pizza was surprisingly good!

Katherine Armstrong

Delicious gluten free options

Ashok Shankar

The food was so good we came back twice in 24 hours - dinner then brunch. And the cocktails were amazing. Staff handled our cousin's gluten allergy with grace and had great suggestions. We will be back anytime we are in Glendale.

Josh Wood

Really good food, great options for gluten free and vegetarians. They were very nice and courteous. Lamb kabobs and hummus tasted great. Thank you for a refreshingly good dinner!

Katherine W.

Very cute, European vibes. Everything was delicious, including the spicy pineapple margarita, and they were able to substitute French fries for the rice which has pasta, for a gluten free option. I was disappointed they didn't have any vegan gluten free chocolate cheesecake that was on the menu.

Deirdre O'Shea

A favorite for over 30 years. They recently catered a family event with vegans, vegetarians, Celiacs, a peacetarian, and omnivores. Everyone was delighted and satisfied. Le Med makes it all so easy and delicious.

As a celiac, this is one of my favorite places. Delicious food, great customer service, and a nice covered outside seating area with heaters.

Lias Was Here

We'd eaten here almost exactly a year ago and really loved the gluten free and vegan options so we tried it again. Ordered the mediterranean chicken, shrimp, lamb and falafel rice bowls for takeout. Didn't bother checking the order as we waited for it and were in communication with the cashier at the time who let us know our order was ready. Get home and they switched the shrimp for some gyro seeming meat and didn't bother to label the lamb and chicken which looked suspiciously similar. The person who ordered the chicken last year couldn't eat their dish as it seemed to be way over spiced. The person who ordered the shrimp was understandably disappointed but it was too far and too late to go back. Will not order from Healthyish again as it was a very sad meal - with the exception of the falafel bowl which was delicious.

They prepared me a plate of “Creamy Chicken Fettuccine” but Gluten Free! I told them I was celiac and they changed my pasta and it was delicious! They also accompany it with a salad or soup before as an appetizer. Everything was amazing I am celiac, and I felt very comfortable. Everything was delicious. The attention was incredible.

Daniel Ball

Bestb meal ever. Burger. Sea bass sprouts. Gluten free. Dairy free. Gorgeous. creative. I'll be back soon.

One of my favorite comfort food places to eat. I frequent both this location in San Mateo and the one in San Bruno. I prefer the interior and ambience of the latter restaurant but parking there is challenging. The San Mateo restaurant is always busy as it's in a great location between S El Camino Real and Hwy 92 - easy to get to. The service has always been friendly and attentive. The servers chat you up and make you feel at home. Also, love that breakfast is served until 2pm! Our office came here to celebrate our coworker's birthday for lunch. We started with the Mediterranean Sampler - my favorite is the tzatziki. I had a cup of the avgolemono which is a lemony chicken and rice soup that takes me back to my days in Santorini. The birthday guy had the lamb burger which he said was flavorful and juicy. The other two each had entree salads, one of which was the Asian Chicken Salad (see picture). Another had the gluten-free cheese macaroni which I've had before but would recommend it as a side dish with something more savory to complement the cheesey pasta. I enjoyed my usual dish, the polenta and summer veggies. The garlic red sauce and cheese just oozes in between the polenta and vegetables. The portion size will never disappoint as you'll always have enough extra to take home.

Jade Latimer

I had an incredible experience at this place! As someone with a gluten allergy, I was in heaven here being able to enjoy so many dishes without having to worry. We had pakoras, roasted eggplant, mushroom lovers pizza, savory pancake, Thai tea, and mango lassi. The atmosphere is peaceful, great view of the mountains, and the staff are friendly and thorough with making sure the orders came out perfect. Will definitely be back whenever I'm in town next. <333

Derek Chang

Food was incredible and the servers and owner were both very friendly and helpful. There are lots of options for celiacs, since the owner is also celiac. Food looked so good and was so tasty that we didn’t get a chance to snap a picture.

Meagan Martin

Amazing! It had been years since my last visit and I was hesitant. Having celiac disease, eating can be a headache! They have a gluten free menu, they’ll prepare your food in a separate area. The manager hand delivered my food and they were extremely kind and helpful! We will definitely be going again! So so happy!
