Gijs Aarden

Great selection, fresh bread (organic) and friendly staff. There are many gluten free options. It was a little pricey, but you get a nice meal for it!

Lynn Sanguedolce

Great food and staff is very accommodating. Most menu items are gluten-free. I have never had a problem here.

Viran Patel

I love this place! The food was well presented, and absolutely delicious! You can taste that the food was made from scratch from the freshness of the spices, giving it a home made feel! The staff were very pleasant and we were lucky to sample some other dishes on the menu. There are gluten free options too. Excited to go back and try more dishes!

Alivia Byers

Absolutely the most delicious Indian food ever! The spices were amazing, generous portions, and everything on the menu was labeled clearly for allergies, including so many gluten free options. The restaurant is very clean and the service (particularly Edwin) was so fast and extremely helpful. Can’t recommend enough!

Harun Zembilci

Their deserts are too die for with gluten free option. They also cook to order but we did not eat in.

Scott Collins

One of my favorite Gluten-free burgers!

Collene Black

Everything is delicious! I am not vegan but I always eat here when I am in chapel hill. The coffee is fantastic. I get a breakfast sandwich and a smoothie every time and I am always impressed. They have lots of gluten free options.

Dawn Meisch

This place has some absolutely delicious hash browns. As a family with various food allergies, we love being able to eat here together. Vegan and gluten free options are pretty good. Their coffee drinks are a bit expensive.

Lynn Sanguedolce

Great BLTs on gluten-free bread. I have been here a number of times and never had a problem.

Laurie Rice

Great casual breakfast place with wide healthy menu options: Benedicts, avocado toast, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches. Great gluten free options

Heather Ling

Excellent friendly service. I’m a celiac and they make a great pizza that’s safe for me. Chill upscale bar and pizza place vibe. For me the genuine friendly and attentive service keeps me coming back as well as the GF pizza and wings. Excellent!

David Scheve

I enjoy the fact that they have gluten free hamburger buns.

Kimberly Michaels

I have Celiac Disease. The restaurant had a gluten free menu. The server was extremely knowledgeable about my options and the food was amazing!!! I highly recommend it to anyone needing a gluten free diet.

Sebastian Rios

Great date night spot! I really enjoyed the food, but the decor and vibe really made this place a great experience. I really enjoyed the crispy chicken Bao buns and the ramen. A couple of good gluten free options too.

Landon Coley

Don’t go here if you have a gluten allergy. My gf’s dish was supposed to be gluten free but was most likely cross contaminated so she got sick anyway. Prices are super high for how small the tacos (16.99 for 3 baby tacos??) are and they really aren’t that good. I think the decor fools people here. Not coming back.

Troy Walden

Nice Italian Restaurant with Gluten Free (GF) options.

Tracy Poole

We all loved our wings. Sweet potato fries were awesome. Loved that they have dedicated fryers for keeping things gluten free, though not totally safe for those with celiac as my daughter did have a reaction..

Kathryn Flynn

Gluten-free pizza was great.

Julianne Dixon

I went here with my significant other for Valentine’s Day. The food was superb - I loved the lemon and herb on the potatoes - and I was happy that I could easily find gluten free and peanut free items on the menu. Also, we enjoyed the live music. Our server was also knowledgeable and helpful. The only downside was there were a lot of people packed into a small space and it was pretty loud - but I can see why so many people would want to be here!

CMarie16 S

Great place to be vegan and gluten free

David Redwine

Great food! They offer gluten-free bread for sandwiches, and most of their meats (aside from the bologna, which is shared fryer) are gluten-free. Tastes great. Good portions. Friendly vibe, great staff. Not a long wait, just a somewhat small establishment, so everyone hears everyone else's conversations. The good thing about the size though, is that you get to eat with your eyes. Would love to eat here again!

PurpleFade

Very delicious meal here! Got the Cheeseburger with a gluten free bun and some Crinkle Fries and they were both amazing! The burger patty had so much flavor in it and the cheese and ketchup just added even more to that. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area!

Bruce Adams

Most of the food we ordered was superb. Wait staff was friendly and very helpful. There were lots of gluten free options (kitchen is not dedicated) including some very fun dosas.

Carol New

Lila Purdy

If you visit First Watch you have to ask for Ailyna as your server. She was so attentive, polite, and helped with the menu. Ailyna made sure that my daughter’s gluten free meal was GF. We would definitely visit again.

Patrick Flaherty

Gluten free burger buns are pretty good.

Kim Mikiel

This place is blesphemously delicious. I want to eat there every day. I have a relatively strict diet (gluten free, dairy free, sugar free) and Pho Happiness checks all the boxes, and at a fair price with delicious, fresh food that even my children love to eat. My all time favorite restaurant right now.

Gianna Breidel

So friendly and welcoming. This was my first time visiting and I'll definitely be back. Heard good things about their gluten-free crust and it did not disappoint. Paired it with a nice red wine - what a great casual experience with food that seems expensive!

Clara Schneider

Really good gluten-free children

jamie upchurch

Amazing place. Great food. Best Coffee. Cater to Gluten Free/ Celiac customers. The atmosphere is cozy and the customer service is A1.

Jane Kane

Forgot to take photos of our appetizer and entrées but EVERYTHING we had was delicious. We started with the Mezze Platter which included some of the best Patlıcan Ezmesi (Smokey eggplant dip) I’ve ever had. I’m gluten free, but my husband and daughter raved about the fresh, hot, crusty bread served with our meal. I had the lamb shank special of the evening which fell off the bone and was superb. My husband enjoyed his Adana Kebabi and daughter had the Balik Böregi, also delicious. For dessert we had Turkish coffee and shared the Kazan Dibi and Crème Chocolate. And on top of all the great food, the Turkish decor and ambiance added to the evening. One comment on the service, this was a very busy restaurant, the staff (family?) were stretched thin. Definitely a place to enjoy a relaxing, leisurely dinner with good company.

Eric Starr

Someone is a genius! Pizza Bowls. All the pizza but without the bread! Perfect for both gluten free and Keto dietary restrictions

Vanesa Ambrosecchia

Massimo took such great care of us last night! I’m gluten-free so I checked the menu online prior and saw they had gluten free pasta, but to my surprise they additionally had gluten free bread, meatballs, brussel sprouts, and almond cake! It was so delicious, we will be back!

Rhianna

Service is always great, store is always clean. Food comes out quickly and delicious. No complaints!!! Been here multiple times over the past year. They have gluten free buns for burgers.

Margaret O'Brien Maples

Super yummy! Big, greasy, cheesy burger... yummy, healthy, robust salad... and the gluten free bun was delicious! My partner and I got Gov's as carryout for a staycation date night. We each got a burger, and split the superfood salad, and it was perfect. We will definitely be going back for seconds!

April Williams

Great coffee shop. Coffee is made with freshly ground local coffee. My husband and I tried iced coffee on this hot muggy day and it was delicious and refreshing. We also tried the banana chocolate gluten free cookie - - YUM! For a gluten free cookie the texture and moisture were great. Considering banana was used the balance of flavors was on point. The staff was friendly and helpful. The decor is a mix of old and new. Love the ceiling tiles and the old wood floor. Definitely should visit!

Ruth Morgan

Nice gluten friendly option. We sat inside for a two person meeting and used the nice wifi.

Heba Salama

Staff was very friendly and polite. Space was clean, and definitely family friendly. The gluten free pizza was great, salads fresh with homemade dressings...

Belinda Merrick

Tom Baumel

Solid bowl option but nothing special to push it over the top to 5 stars. I left feeling still kinda hungry but the food itself was delicious. My friend got a make your own bowl which looked significantly larger than my menu selection. Many good gluten free and allergen friendly options.

Michelle Herman

I had a wonderful experience all around—great food, service, and atmosphere. We sat in on the patio and was very comfortable. The hosts and servers were all super friendly and knowledgeable. We liked how the menu was structured, such that we could choose either small plates or a dinner entree depending upon our hunger level. The plates were beautifully presented with very bright colors. We loved the pork belly arepa and the budino for dessert! Appreciated that there were lots of gluten free options!

Maureen Magner

Six of us got takeout from Rasa Indian and Japanese Restaurant in Chapel Hill. I appreciated the care that went into preparing the online menu and the way it specified options: vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy, etc. The fellow that took our order over the phone was polite regarding our questions and he accommodated our requests. I don't like hot spicy food, so I asked for my order to be mildly spiced and that's what I got. We each thought the food was delicious. We will definitely be going back. Nice experience all the way around.

Jen

Great customer service, this is our fav taco Bell in the area. As always, lots of vegetarian, gluten free options.

Shelley Kirk

Gluten free pizza was very tasty and served hot and fresh at reasonable price.

Brittany S

Always come here when in town. Great authentic selections. Many options for vegetarians and gluten free options

Daniela Gausmann

Great place to enjoy delicious macarons the gluten free/dairy free macarons are my favorites. I love the coffee and the environment there:)

Ronald Baxter

Vegan flavor unbelievable fish cake cheese grits black beans kale and pancakes that is out of this world. My wife loves it my children love it and it is filling it satisfies my soul a free eating and is gluten free as well.

I had a lovely birthday brunch on their patio(on a less than ideal birthday). Their staff was attentive, and their menu offers a wide variety of options; if you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or omnivore then you have something to try. They are also substitution friendly, so you may have some low-carb options. The staff brought water for the table immediately, offered recommendations on menu items when asked, and brought a biscuit while the meal was prepared. The patio was pleasant, clean, and ready for guests. -----‐------------------------------------------------------ I visited again, and for this visit, I would remove a star. The food was lovely(and I wrote so on the check) but the waitress with the dark braid seemed to be amused by something and I ended up sitting on the patio for some time waiting for service; I had to call the restaurant to have someone come out with a togo container. The foam container she brought smelled funny(do they have recyclable options?). I still tipped over 20%, but the waitresses this morning seemed to be on a different wavelength.

I have celiacs disease so it's very hard to eat out with my family. I spoke with one of the chefs and he was kind enough to discuss in detail what he could make, what precautions he could take and what things he couldn't control. I appreciated his honesty and willingness to make something safe for me. My family enjoyed an amazing brunch and I felt safe eating here. Everyone was kind and honest, which is amazing!
