Top 50 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Havens to Explore in Texas

A must-eat place while in Austin. We shockingly were able to walk in without reservations on a Thursday night and were seated outside immediately. Our server was the BEST and even left us with a to-go container of our favorite gluten free crackers. The menu is huge and I have no doubt everything is delicious. Our favorite was the short rib hummus (with the GF crackers)!!

As a long time customer of True Food Kitchen - for more than 4 years - what initially interested us was the healthy non GMO, Gluten Free menu that does not use unhealthy seed oils (like Canola/Rapeseed Oil) in its food preparation. Since then, True Food has made some slight changes to its menus, including the use of controversial Vital Farms products as well as changes to its gluten friendly pizza dough and hamburger buns, however the one thing that has NOT changed - and is the best part of the restaurant: its employees. Ask for Chantal, Yuyu or Aaron - those are three of the best restaurant professionals you will ever meet! Their can do attitude, combined with their amazing ability to connect with customers is the REAL secret weapon at True Food Kitchen on PostOak. My family can eat at any restaurant in Houston, but we choose to eat at True Food Kitchen on Post Oak because we are always given excellent service and shown kindness when we eat there. Every restaurant should figure out how those three team members work, and copy it exactly - as a customer you leave having had a good meal, and GREAT service. Kindness, always served with a smile - and if there is any problem at all with your order, they are always quick to rectify the situation. You will never sit around with an empty glass of tea if you are being served by Aaron, Chantal or Yuyu. They always put the customer first - which is why, as long as they are working at TrueFood, we will always eat there! Give it a try - and ask to sit in their sections - you will have the best dining experience ever! Thank you Chantal, Yuyu and Aaron!!

The gluten free Bolognesa was the best pasta dish I have ever had. Lexi was an upbeat, fun server as well. Will definitely be going back.

Overall, the atmosphere is fairly nice with very kind and friendly wait staff. True Food Kitchen has a well rounded menu with accommodates for vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan with clearly labled dishes for such. Additionally, the flavor profile is fairly diverse so if you are vegan like me, you will not be restricted to a single option and have a few choices to make.

Jonathan was amazing, so hospitable and knowledgeable! Gluten free options and omg was it amazing. To get a Primavera, grilled chicken, GF and to be so flavorful! The entire experience was 5 stars!

Unfortunately, I placed an order originally a few days ago. The gluten-free bun was as hard as a rock and they included hash on my sweet potatoes today I picked up the replacement order and I let her know what all was on there. It included things that I did not say I wanted it on my sandwich. I have irritable bowel to where I am not able to tolerate some things and I specifically told her the items I want there. I did not get to receive a replacement order tonight again because they were closed and now I’m without a meal for tonight. No one wants to throw away $27 worth of food that they paid for. I am disappointed in the customer service and the blame. She tried to put on me for something that she did as in the manager.

Rita Gregory

They made my salad gluten free. It was absolutely delicious.

Karen S.

Loved the gluten free options!

Ami Jobanputra

Food is very healthy and delicious. Ancient grain bowl was amazing. They have many vegan and gluten free options even for desserts.

Andrea Nettles

The gluten free burger bun is like biting into a brick. I might need to see my dentist after trying to eat it. Absolutely terrible.

Lawrence “Junior” Yaklin

Seating was quick even though it appeared relatively busy. Our server was professional and polite. The large variety of gluten free items they offer is nothing like I have ever seen. My daughter has a gluten allergy and it can be a challenge when we go out to eat but Zanata turned the challenge from finding a place that offers gluten free to a challenge of deciding which meal to order from so many they offer. The pizza was superb according to my daughter. The meatball lasagna was phenomenal and I barely had enough room in my stomach to fit it all.

Guilherme Pirani

Very good food, place and people. My wife has a severe allergy to gluten and took really good care. Kudos to Katy who helped us :) *I hope I have the correct name for her. Sorry if I'm wrong LoL

Lisa Martinez

AnnaGrace Cooley

Very gluten free friendly. Very nice staff and the chef came out and told me in the future they are able to make anything on the menu gf!

Lynn Lenort

We had a lovely meal. Awesome service and everyone raved about their food.We had one person with celiac disease and they were most accommodating for hereal.

Maha Aly

I love everything about Levant!!! The food takes me back home specially their Falafel Pita 💕I also love that they serve authentic drinks like Hibiscus!! My son has Celiac and the server was very helpful and knowledgeable and guided us through their gluten free options and my son was really happy to have an Arabic Rice Pudding!!! I highly recommend Levant if you are craving real Mediterranean food!!

Marcela Chazaro

Amazing Mediterranean food. Vegan and gluten free options. Delicious salads and lots of vegetables.

Jana Zaatreh

One of my favorite lunch spots. Has delicious falafel pitas and offers gluten and dairy-free options that actually taste phenomenal.

Aya

Our favorite Turkish restaurant in town!🙌 My husband and I are obsessed with Selda!! it’s our go-to spot. The food is ALWAYS amazing🤤 I love that the menu is marked for food sensitivities, perfect for gluten-free diners like me. They even offer gluten-free bread and dessert, which is such a thoughtful touch! My favorites are the Turkish meatballs and Ali Nazik😋 both gluten free and full of flavor. And we never leave without a cup of their Turkish tea to end the meal🫖 Highly recommended💯

Breeze

Delicious and most of the menu is gluten free.

Laura Taylor

PHENOMENAL salad, excellent gluten free options, can’t wait to come back!

Lisa

Shout out to Seven who took my celiac seriously!

Sam Fisher

I LOVE this place!! The food is fresh and delicious and there is such a variety that if you can't find something you like, I'm afraid you might be too picky! 😁 My husband said the meat options are delicious and I am always happy with my vegan options. Everything is clearly labeled so if you have dietary needs, you can easily choose a healthy, safe meal (vegan, gluten free, dairy free). The owner is attentive and involved and the place reflects that. It's always super clean and inviting. This place is absolutely a favorite of ours!

Let me preface by saying, I only dine at the FINEST establishments. My palette is sophisticated, and I have a severe gluten allergy. So when my gal friends suggested we eat at a "restaurant" where no one serves you, I was appalled. Until I met Barbra. This enchantress handled my allergy with sincerity and didn't balk when I requested a new glove for every piece of lettuce. (I got the lettuce bowl). It was scrumptious and only 3 calories.

Came here for some healthy food options and was pleasantly surprised by the cafe atmosphere and warm wait staff. Joann in particular provided us with excellent service, great conversation and yummy dinner selections. I had the Chicken veggie penne and the hubby had the Turkey burger with mozzarella cheese. We ordered gluten free pizzas to-go and will recco to our neighbors!

Rebecca Underwood

Rochelle Bekkelund

Great food and even better service! They also have so many options for vegan and gluten free diets!

Kerri Nipper

Johanna Cook

Great service. Excellent Gluten Free protocol. Good good. Clean and good ambience.

Jonathan Smith

Great gluten free options! Staff was very knowledgeable on what I could and could not eat!

Monica Chapman

Aaron was so super sweet and helpful with everything. Very knowledgeable about my concerns with gluten since I have celiac. Even getting me and my friends filled up drinks to go upon our exit.

Margaret Flores

Zane Mrazek

Food is awesome especially for my gluten and dairy free wife. Gregory was super friendly and accommodating!

Chelsea

I ordered the chicken gyro on gluten free pita with fries and their lavender lemonade. The lavender lemonade was delicious as well as the fries. The gyro fillings were good, but the gluten free pita was more like a crepe and kind of falling apart.

Susan Johnson

This place is amazing! Every item on the buffet is absolute perfection. The display of foods consistently looks fresh and clean as if just offered for you! All items are clearly labeled if vegan or gluten free. Everything is so fresh and delicious. This is arguably the best middle eastern restaurant in DFW. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Don’t miss the dessert case on the way out…the baklava is legendary 🥰 My only complaint here is the beautiful floor is SOOOO slick that its dangerous. Scary to carry a tray from the buffet to table while navigating a hazardous floor!

Dianna Aguilar

Everything was fantastic! Our server Aaron was super attentive and patient with us as we made our wine and meal selections. He also made sure to be mindful of my gluten allergy. The watermelon feta appetizer was refreshing with a mild chile kick which was an unexpected and delightful surprise. The grouper entree and lamb skewer were perfectly seasoned with delicious, nuanced flavors. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough!

Shannon Johnson

The food is on point! They have gluten free options which I appreciate. We went in for lunch and it was BUSY but we were seated quickly. The only issue was that we felt like the server only partially heard our order. We both asked for the spicy gyro plate, one with veggies and no pita. We got 1 regular and 1 spicy. No veg until we asked and the server took my tea glass to fill it up and disappeared for 5-10 minutes. Even with the issues, the food is amazing and we will continue to keep this place in our rotation!

Dawn Allen

Had a fantastic experience at Cava this evening! I must eat strictly gluten free as I have celiac disease. When I mentioned this prior to ordering, Luke immediately went to the hand sink and thoroughly washed his hands and forearms to prevent cross contact of gluten while he prepared my meal. This impressed me beyond measure, as this is an important precaution many restaurant staff don’t take. I enjoyed chatting with Luke as he prepared my bowl for me — which was delicious!Thank you, Luke! I’ll be back!

Anna Flood

As someone with celiac disease this cava is fantastic! Great food very knowledgeable and kind!

Karla Smith

Gluten free options and tasty food! Can’t wait to come back for more :)

Alice Karns

Ryan Perel

Fantastic Greek restaurant that is perfect for brunch or dinner! Went there for brunch with non celiac friends and staff did a great job of bringing me my own plates. I was able to eat over half the brunch items and they even had gluten free pita bread. For a buffet, it was fantastic!

Sarah A

Clearly labeled GF items, and many of them. The food is fresh and flavorful.

Margaret Mathews

Laronda Russell

Dorothy Cooper

Ellen Hutcheson

Gluten free options. The rice is NOT gluten free, it has pasta in it, which is sad because I love their rice. The food is delicious and they have veggies to substitute for the rice.

Nicky B

Staff was annoyed and loudly complained when I said I have a gluten allergy. Then made me feel like I was wasting their time by asking if falafel was GF - it isn’t, and I found out the hard way. This place has great potential but stressed me out

***GLUTEN FREE BUNS AVAILABLE*** Burger was incredible. I got the Olive Cheeseburger. And Lenny is top notch, super professional, very helpful, and very friendly.
