The food is always incredible, dine in or takeout they never miss! About 90% of the menu is gluten free. I have coeliac disease and I’ve only had great experiences here and always feel safe eating their food.
Highly recommend for anyone gluten free

Great knowledge of coeliacs. Will offer gluten free bread and ensure gluten free pasta is not cross contaminated when cooked in kitchen.
Amazing quality. Just be wary if ordering a drink, they do use “pasta” straws.
Unique spot for pizza lovers with a focus on vegetarian options and delicious eggplant parmigiana, but busy on weekends, so be ready to wait!

Authentic pizza place in new town!
Service was alright - but what do you expect at a local pizza shop eh?
The choices of pizza were limited - if you’re a big fan of meat (loves meat lover like i do!) this is probably not a good place that you should choose. The menus were mainly vegetarians - and probably just 1 to 2 pizzas with meat.
Pizza - Diavola - taste really good with the pizza base, it will always be better to go for more meats!
Another special about this place is eggplant parmigiana, this is a gluten free dish and very delicious indeed.
You can see the layers of eggplants and the flavor of it were super on point.

What an amazing place. Food was yummy and so fresh and tasty. Atmosphere was fun and playful. Service was amazing and our waitress knew her food and menu and helped us select foods.
Was also able to adjust for gluten free which was great. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

My wife is vegan and I like to join her when she wants to eat at vegan only places. Most places are pretty boring and gimmicky, especially around Newtown where it seems people just give 5 stars because they're excited that another vegan restaurant has opened, even if it's really bad (and there's plenty of bad ones...). But Golden Lotus is fantastic! Easily on par, if not better than most Asian restaurants I've been to! I now make it a habit to go there often and try something new each time.
Personally, I don't like the whole fake meat thing, plus it generally contains gluten, which I'm allergic to, so I stick with tofu dishes instead. They're not bad, it's just that if you're going to quit meat, then why bother with fake meat? Bothers me... Real vegan food doesn't need to contain fake meat. Real vegan food is just beautifully prepared plants with outstanding flavours, and there is plenty of that going around. The fake meat thing is a gimmick, and generally way over priced. I'll have real vegetables thanks.
I'm looking forward to coming back tonight! I wonder what I'll try next...
A vibrant spot with a great variety of pasta, a laid-back vibe, and BYO with no corkage charge for a fun dining experience!

I’m gluten free and I ordered the penne carbonara pasta There. The pasta was really well cooked and added a marvellous amount of pepper. The amount of bacon was generous, the sauce was perfect, However, when I got to the bottom of the plate there was a bit too much oil
With a bright green decor, cozy vibes, and customizable bowls, this spot is perfect for a healthy, plant-based hangout.

If I could give them more stars I would because OMG! Even if you are not a vegan this spot is absolutely to die for! My mom and I went for the first time today and got the curry with gluten free bread! Another amazing thing is the majority of the menu is gluten free or upon request can be gluten free which is such a perk! Adam the owner is so kind and the other staff were so sweet and attentive! They have amazing smoothies and other delicious food options….you bettaaaaa RUN not walk asap😋! Also the portions are very generous (could be 2 meals) and are filled with flavor! Definitely a spot we will be again!

Chose the restaurant as they had lots of GF options on the menu. Advised I was coeliac and waiter confirmed everything would be gluten free. Half way through the set menu I was vomiting. Waiter apologised as he’d forgotten to tell the chef about my dietery requirements. As compensation I was offered a glass of house wine! Said I probably shouldn’t be charged for the set menu meal given I had thrown it back up and it wasn’t what I ordered. Was offered a glass of complimentary house wine when we’d bought a nice bottle (also thrown up) wasn’t appropriate compensation for being poisoned and ruining a Friday night out with friends. Waiter was stressed and said Manager wouldn’t allow it but he personally would pay for my meal. He was a young guy and we said we didn’t want him paying personally and could we see the manager. Manager refused to see us and the waiter was clearly scared of his manager. Our bottle of wine was deducted but sure the waiter had it taken out of his wages and I paid $88 for a meal I threw up. Didn’t push the payment for the meal as I didn’t want the waiter to lose his job. Cruel management, poorly trained waiters, don’t go if you have allergies, left with an empty stomach, sore throat and a terrible dining experience feeling worried about the waiter. Manager needs to train their staff, be accountable and lead and serve with compassion.
This place offers a creative and flavorful vegan dining experience that surprises with its innovative dishes and vibrant atmosphere.

Incredible food. Really good communication (I’m coeliac and they asked all the right questions). Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Easiest 5 star I’ve ever given.
Expect a vibrant atmosphere with fresh, flavorful dishes that keep diners coming back for more, but arrive early for limited seating.

The first time I went here was at least 4 years ago and it’s still as great now as it was then. Back then I had a lamb and pomegranate dish (might be similar to the lamb fattah) that was just banging. This time I had the vegetarian plate (subbed bread for salad to make gluten free) which was also delicious. Everything’s so fresh, you can tell by tasting it.
Staff are friendly and efficient, and the vibe is casual and bustling. Be sure to get in before 6:30PM if you want a table, as it is very much a takeaway spot so seating is limited.
Experience upbeat vibes and incredible vegan dishes at this lively spot, where allergen-friendly menus make dining a breeze.

Advertised as having gluten free options but they share frying oil and don’t wipe down the plate that other gluten containing food is cooked on - avoid if coeliac! This was kindly communicated by the server but think it should be more explicit that the ‘gluten free’ options on the menu aren’t actually gluten free. We ate elsewhere.

Great affordable thai options especially during the 11-4pm lunch special. Ordered the Pad Thai and Massamun Beef curry. Was very flavorful which can be a bit overpowering for some. Overall great experience and was able to cater for our dietary requirements by being gluten free!

This place is AMAZING that it is even better than places I visited in the heart of Istanbul! 100% authentic!! I am visiting from Melbourne with my friend and she took me here for an authentic Turkish cuisine and she wasn't wrong! She wanted me to try the grills but what blew my mind was the stuffed vegetables! Home made with love ❤️ The meats were also very juicey and tender and cooked to perfection! I even took it home re-heated it and it was still very juicey and delicious! Very fresh foods! I am coeliac though and I've let them know I am gluten free and although they went above and beyond and out of their way the stuffed vegetables had bulgur which is not GF so please be extra cautious with allergies guys as coeliac is a very serious disease!!
A must-visit spot with a diverse menu and great prices, perfect for trying unique dishes and enjoying a budget-friendly vibe!

If you see this restaurant but you don't walk in, you don't know what you're missing! They have a very wide variety of food to choose from, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and soft juicy meat dumplings, how thoughtful 🥹🥹🥹Low prices and high quality food! It is my favorite restaurant on enmore road! If you're here for the first time, you can't go wrong with the deep fried eggplant , Mongolian series, and small pork soupy dumplings! And a $10 cocktail to go with it! So enjoyable!

This place has a reputation and stood the test of time for a reason.
In the sea of hipster American style burger chains these guys do real quality Aussie burgers, like the ones we grew up with. And gosh damn do they do that well 😋😋😋
They have great vego and gluten free options too.
As a coeliac, I really appreciate a place that offers plentiful gluten free options including ALL the desserts. Fine dining at a reasonable price. Charming ambience yet unpretentious.
A great spot with lots of options, making it a hit for those seeking diverse meal choices and accommodating requests.

My understanding of this place is that they do have GF food, however all of it is cross contaminated and not safe for coeliacs. Hope this helps a coeliac out, I wouldn’t pick this place for a safe thai option.

We had a great evening at Stinking Bishops last week. The selection of cheeses of course was amazing but the rest of the food was also delicious.
The servers were welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly.
The ladies made sure I had enough gluten free crackers to go with the cheese and charcuterie.

We came for a friend's birthday dinner and were greeted at the door by friendly, welcoming staff.
The restaurant is cosy and well decorated. The food is really lovely and quite good value for money and the drinks are great.
I am ceoliac, and they were able to point out the gluten free dishes to me and make amendments to some dishes for greater choice (such as no batter on the fish).
AMAZING VEGETARIAN DISHES. Large servings and plenty of gluten free options. I’ve ordered from this place too many times to count and have never been disappointed, the taste and quality is consistently fantastic.
The food and the service was fantastic! They called ahead of our booking to chat with me about gluten free options as I'd noted that I was GF on our booking, and when there was a mix up with our drinks they were really attentive and fantastic about fixing up the order. Felt really welcome and well cared for.
A warm and inviting spot with beautifully presented dishes, ideal for a special night out with a nice bottle of Turkish wine.

I had a very nice Dinner at Turkuaz, lovely Gluten free options. We had Stuffed Vine Leaves as Entree, Lamb Kavurma and Imam Bayildi, every dish was beautifully presented and very tasty. Could recommend all of them and would have again. Service was great and staff very friendly, restaurant atmosphere warm and welcoming. We also had a very nice bottle of Turkish Rose. A bit pricey but a nice treat. The restaurant is BYO during the week but not on weekends. Including wine we spent appr. 70.00 per person.
