Long ago, I loved this place. They had the best brunches. Then I became allergic to soy and gluten. They have almost no options for those with allergies - they are completely stuck in the past. The menu needs a major overhaul after 20 years and overall the place is run down. It's unfortunate.

Good setting for large groups. A bit dated but does belong in a college town. Extensive menus with gluten free pizzas. Pizzas are great and not skimpy. Biggest drawbacks are the high prices. Service is polite and efficient.

Cozy environment, great food and good service. We had a fulfilling lunch which included Tamarind noodles (chicken), chicken robata, salmon rolls, Yakitori Don with Jasmine tea on the side. Food was tasty and the portion size was appropriate. We will go back there again. I don’t believe they serve alcohol but that is fine. Great gluten free options. This is a gem of a place. You will not be disappointed.

Best gluten free donut I have had in the 9 years I have been gluten free. A little crispy on the outside but super soft on the inside. Also had the gluten free bread with a breakfast sandwich which was also quite tasty. Coffee was good too! Another morning I had a gf cinnamon roll which was also pretty good.

We went to this restaurant because I have celiac and were looking for a place that offered some nutritious gluten-free options . This place looked liked it fit the bill. I ordered the salmon toast. Sadly for the price paid, the quantity was not what we expected. All I received was a single slice of gluten free toast on a bed of mixed greens topped with creamed cheese, cucumber, and a few slices of lox. I left the restaurant hungry .

We recently returned to the area and the first restaurant we wanted to visit was Kabul House. Still has excellent food, HUGE portions, and the renovated space is beautiful! Our waiter was very attentive and food arrived quickly. Kabobs are excellent - our favorite, Kadu, (stewed pumpkin) is now available as an entree. Several options available for gluten free and vegetarian diners. Open for lunch and dinner - ample parking on the side of the building.

Food is ok when you get what you actually ordered. Service is not attentive or knowledgeable. Put wrong food in front of people and told them it was something different, including gluten free. Staff clearly needs much better training. Or perhaps different staff. Was almost pushed out the door 20 min before closing. Less than impressed.

I'm in town for a class. I found this spot 5 minutes away and ordered puck up. They have many GF labeled options on the menu. I ordered the tilapia with mashed potatoes and spinach and the potato salad, both were delicious. On my order I noted celiac and gluten free for all items, even though they are marked. When they brought the order out to me, the gentleman immediately told me that all of the items in my order are GF and precautions were taken to avoid contamination.... that gave them 5 stars in my book! I recommend and would return for sure.

Excellent, meaty, tender rib tips. Sauce ison the side, which is a plus in my book. Also worth noting, the pound I ordered did not have a lot of cartilage and gristle. This does not come with bread like it many other places, which is a good thing for me since I am gluten-free (GF). They do not serve french fries, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Instead, they have many different southern sides, such as mac & cheese and sweet potatoes. The staff were exceptionally helpful and cheery. The menu clearly highlights items that are gluten-free for anyone with dietary restrictions. The interior was under construction at the time of writing this review, but they have a handful of picnic bench-style tables so people can eat while their food is fresh. It was also very clean inside despite the remodeling. A big contrast compared to many places I have been to in Chicago’s south and west sides. The only downside was the price for some items. $6 for a side when you are dining alone for lunch or dinner can be a tad steep.

I am a devoted coffee drinker. In the US, I always order a black americano to test coffee shops. So many times, I received not just a bad coffee, but with a lot of water, no flavour... in summary, a total failure. It has been wonderful to find this place. Not just the americano coffee has flavour, body, an exact proportion between coffee and water, but also de vibe of the place is wonderful. Lovely place to work or to share a coffee with someone. Super nice staff. Totally recommended! *They also have pretty good vegan-gluten free paistries!

All of it, DYNAMITE 🧨! You want a culinary experience, boom, here it is. The service is top notch. You’ll be greeted so warmly. The French restaurant with a Mediterranean flare to it. It’s beautiful. It’s simple. It’s approachable. It’s delicious and it’ll impress you. I have so many good words to say about our time here. I was nervous about dairy-free and gluten-free options for me. It wasn’t a bother to them. They assured me that they have a separate “free from gluten” kitchen area. All was good. Get anything, it’s all good. My recommendations though are under the Mediterranean specialties- the vegetables with cous cous (but they made it with quinoa for me) and please go with the chocolate mousse. Unbelievable. Also, best espresso martini I’ve ever had. Enjoy.

I have celiac disease and the only Chicago pizza place where I can eat with confidence of little or no cross-contamination is Giordano's! The Evanston location on Chicago Ave did not disappoint!
