The only thing I credit them for is the impeccable service but I think the food could be better. I wish they offered more gluten free options.

My husband and I finally came here to dine in. Last time we had pizza here it was just a little take out window and wow had it transformed! I didn't expect it to be as large on the inside. The vibe was cozy and energetic with loud lively music. I loved the gluten free options. I pretty much created my own gluten free vegan style pizza and my husband had the pepperoni pizza. It was super delicious. Service was great. Overall a great experience!

Excellent gluten free burger and chicken options. All allergens clearly labeled. Fast and friendly service

Sabrina K

Separate fryer for fries. gF buns toasted in separate toaster and prep area. Very allergy aware and celiac friendly

Jen D

Nice place to go with friends for brunch it is 2 floors ! Has gluten free options

MS F

I love everything about this place. Coffee is delicious every time. Pastries have good variety, have gluten free options, and are delicious! I understand they need to have days off so no judgement there. But Mondays and Tuesdays are my most free days and they are closed those days :(

Anita Cimera

Really just want to rave about what an amazingly delicious gluten free chocolate- chocolate chip muffin they have!

Michael Santangelo

Best Chinese food in the area. Plentiful gluten free options.

Ben Williams

Steer clear. An overall unpleasant experience. They were out of several dishes, omitted components entirely (avocado on the salmon) or had made substitutions without letting us know - (ricotta (?) for creme fraiche on the bolognese, and most shocking: a corn tortilla for a gluten-free bun on a burger). On the upside the service was suitable - our server did their best considering the circumstances and their own frustration with the restaurant's lack of detail and basic ingredients. Hopefully management / ownership can right the ship - where its headed now is down, down, down...

🫶YUM for gluten-free options - I go there when I crave waffles or pancakes. 💛Chris and the staff are incredibly kind and greet us warmly whenever we visit. This was the 1st place we went to when restaurants started opening and 4 years later, it’s the place my kids still ask for when we go out to eat. ⭐️As a mom of children with varying degrees of neurodivergent children, we feel so safe and welcomed. Go check them out - great for families and plenty of seating inside and out!

Plantivore Kitchen - Lauryn Emilia

It can be challenging to find a restaurant that not only has amazing food, but also has amazing service. Laboratorio Kitchen exceeded all expectations on both counts for my bridal shower event. The food is absolutely delicious and they are wonderfully accommodating for food allergies. They accommodated for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and more. Highly recommend the mushrooms, salad, and risotto. Everyone attending the event loved the food! Thanks to James, Lauren, and the whole team. The staff was so kind and constantly checking in on guests to see if they needed anything. Also, the restaurant is beautiful and bright. Would definitely host another event here!

Esther Shilo

Lovely place with lovely food and lovely people. And they can substitute their breads with gluten free options. Had a lovely chicken sandwich. Oh and their turmeric latte is delish 💕

Trisha Marcoux

I came to this place on a whim! What a cute little spot. There are cozy tables inside and outside. I had the best pistachio latte ever! They have a small menu, including gluten-free items and baked goods. But the pistachio gelato cake is the best! Pinar was really friendly and super helpful.

Super cute space, a tiny step up at the front door so I don't know how that would work for people in wheeled devices, but I was limping kinda hard when I came in and I was able to navigate it easily. Delicious food with gluten free and vegetarian options. Delicious gluten free desserts, and fantastic rotisserie chicken.

Chef G

The iced vanilla decaf latte with oat milk was smooth and delightful. The impossible burger with gluten-free bread was average. Definitely needed a better plate presentation. The side salad dressing had too much vinegar.

Yummy small business with lots of flavor and choices! I had the bbq jackfruit sandwich which came with plantain chips and the most delicious coleslaw. I also had a vegan coconut cupcake. I am so happy with that lunch and will be back to try more. They had vegan, vegetarian gluten free and carnivore diet options.

KA Birdsall Griffiths

I am gluten free & my friend is vegan. There were several food choices for each of us & everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Allison Strong

My mom and I were looking for a quick place for lunch and happened upon Jalwa. We looked at the menu and peeked in: busy at lunch hour but an open table! VK Verma stepped out and warmly invited us in. What a great decision. I had the palak paneer lunch special and Mom had the chicken tandoori lunch special ($15 each). I also had the mango lassi--delicious and the right amount of sweetness. The portions are perfect, and all lunches come with a vegetable of the day, dal, basmati rice, roti or naan and dessert! The food was very fresh and tasty. Rasmalai for dessert on Tuesday and Kheer today. Yes, we have already been twice. I have found my favorite Indian restaurant in NJ! P.S. Very accommodating for Gluten Free Eaters. Celiacs and Gluten-Sensitive folks, rejoice! Very easy parking nearby.

Timothy

Food was absolutely delicious! Will come here again with friends! They even have gluten free options for my fiancé! They have the most amazing BREAD as appetizers and the service here was nice, quick, and smooth! I would definitely come back to try other foods! Amazing atmosphere! All their cocktail drinks were delicious! Ordered the Burrata Ravioli! Huge fan of pesto pasta! Only downside was the portion, it was on the smaller end, however the taste was absolutely amazing!

The food was so delicious! My friend and I got this platter to share with hummus, shawarma, eggplant salad, and beets salad. They provided regular pita and gluten free laffa for my friend. Really delicious and nutritious!

Zeugma is such a lovely spot with delicious and incredibly fresh food! I came here with a group of four friends for brunch on a Saturday and while the place was busy, I didn't feel that it was overly loud or overwhelming. I would definitely recommend reservations during some of the peak times but it's a relatively large restaurant so I'm sure you'd be able to eventually get seated either way. One of my friends is a vegetarian and gluten-free and she had no issues finding a bunch of options to choose from on the menu. I love that everything is clearly labeled if it is vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free which makes life a lot easier for people with dietary restrictions. We started out with the mezze platter to share; you can choose any 3 mezzes. We opted for the Avogannush, Antakya Hummus, and Beet Heaven. For my main course, I got the Beet Falafel Wrap which comes with some delicious thin-sliced fries. It was extremely filling but not in a bad way; you won't feel overly stuffed after eating any of this food. I could tell that even the fries were made in a high-quality oil. If you love clean, fresh ingredients and chill, trendy vibe, Zeugma is a must-try!

Donna DeBellis

Outrageous crepes, gluten- free available also. Great soups & lattes . Nice weather outdoor seating. This is a very small place so I always get take out. Nice staff !

Andy was an incredible server when we visited Sapori for my birthday. We had people in the party with dietary restrictions (gluten, dairy, etc) and he was very thorough with explaining the menu and making sure everyone was taken care of. I highly recommend Sapori if you’re looking for a classy and fun night out.

Lauren Loflin

Was there last night to celebrate my 18th birthday. There was 8 of us, we came at 6:30 and were basically the only people in the restaurant and we left around 8-8:30. To start off: the food was great, especially the spinach dip though if you have a gluten intolerance you specifically have to ask for corn chips. We had a variety of food (Mac and cheese, empanadas, salads and burgers) and everyone agreed the Mac and cheese was the best. The staff and owner?/manager? Was super sweet, wanting feedback since we are a big younger than their typical demographic. This is something I really appreciated knowing that they are constantly looking at ways to improve their menu to better suite a wide range of people. Do not even get me started on the desserts they were AMAZING over 10/10 will come back also quick shout out to Dez our server who put up with 8 high school girls for 2 hours

T. S.

Not sure if its because of covid or worker shortages but everything is self order and pay on a smartphone. You do not have a server to ask questions and only a runner brings you your food and drinks. This made it feel kinda like a fast food restaurant, think shake shack. I went with one other person who had questions about gluten free options and what was actually in the cocktails, but there was noone to ask. Not for us.

David Graber

Best falafel I've had in a long time! Gluten-free options as well.

Angela Perez

Thank you Mario for the best specialty pizza I’ve had since learning about my gluten allergy! Cauliflower crust was definitely the better choice and my leftovers even reheated great!!!

Gieselle Allen

This place is super cute and has a delicious menu! I’m gluten free and dairy free and our server answered all of my questions about the food politely and even double checked something when he thought the chef misunderstood the question, saving me from getting sick! I got the pollo a la brasa, my friend got the pork and both were delicious. My only complaint is that in my opinion the maduros weren’t ripe enough but I enjoyed this spot and will come again happily! There’s lots of tables here and space for eating.

Most of Montclair residents already know about the atmosphere of Thought and Motion and its people but have you tried their COFFEE??!! I look forward to Master White rabbit coffee that’s exclusively found in Thought and Motion every time I visit. There’s three levels of intensity and Master being the strongest one is by far my favorite coffee. It’s perfectly nutty, balanced and strong. I look forward to Master and so should you… && of course a side of lemon square or their gluten free chocolate muffin.

Christina and Troy

Da Pepo is hands down Montclair’s best. Everything we’ve tried has been exceptional -- from their menu staples to their amazing specials. Their gluten free pasta is the best we’ve ever had! The ambiance is cute and cozy, and truly perfect for so many occasions. (A restaurant surrounded by books is a dream!) We recently used them for catering our rehearsal dinner and could not have been happier. The process was super easy and all of our guests raved about the food.

Bowls can be made gluten free and are so good

I have a serious gluten allergy and I'm always very cautious in going anywhere because people don't typically take it seriously enough and I can get very ill. What a breath of fresh air and an amazing experience I just had purchasing from this incredible location because Laichelle, picture there, is exceptional. She not only changed her gloves constantly, but went into the new untouched add-ons, had a new cutting board and everything so careful not to contaminate my food with anything that might have gluten. I have never seen anyone go out of her way so much to ensure that a customer is safe and able to enjoy this delicious product without worry of becoming ill. She absolutely deserves a big raise, a promotion, and grateful thanks for caring that much about a customer. What an amazing young woman she is and I will definitely come back to this particular location again and again just for her.

Breelyn Ganin

Love this place! The ingredients are always delicious and fresh-tasting. I’m gluten free and they offer almost every option gluten free (or have equally good gf alternatives) including “crispy onions” topping and a number of sauces. Has indoor and outdoor seating while the weather is still nice. Very nice staff as well.

Martin Jimenez

Good, we visited on day two, need more dietary food items on the menu, celiac, gluten free, and lastly I thought we were getting rush with our meal.

Trish S

Delicious food and amazing ambiance! The grilled octopus and roasted chicken are absolute must-tries 😍. The chocolate coulant dessert was the perfect sweet finish—like the cherry on top! Plus, they offer fantastic gluten-free options too!

Astrid Defries Lansing

My husband and I finally made it out to have dinner at Le Souk. We have been living in the area forever and yet it was our first time. And we were very pleasantly surprised! First, we were welcomed by the very cozy and intimate atmosphere coming in from freezing temperatures. We loved the “cluttered” decor and the delicious smells of spices in the air. The menu suited our vegetarian and my gluten-free diet and the dishes very absolutely scrumptious! The service was excellent and the even chef came out to inquire after our experience. We will certainly be back!

Cornelia Wenokor

love this place. Best pizza in Montclair. They even offer a gluten free version. Great service, too.
