We went here with the kids! We had way too much fun! Great gluten free options!

Janine Cannon

Lovely food! The staff is helpful (I have celiac and am vegan). I got the Susana and some yucca fries. They have regular OR vegan cilantro sauce and it’s all amazing! So happy we found this place! My partner got a chicken taco and wants to come back in our way out of town back home. Great food!

My server Jake and Katie were the absolute BEST. Jake gave us his best wine and food pairings and made special accommodations for my gluten allergy! They were so personable and helpful they made my experience here one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. 12/10 WOULD recommend.

Rhian was a great waitress! My family eats gluten free, and she communicated with the kitchen and us to make sure that our food was safe.

Dennis O'Donovan

Interesting place that serves meatballs with any meal on the menu. Fantastic options for my friends who are vegetarian, and gluten free! Our server was very pleasant, however she may have been new. Was very slow with getting our drink refills. Also any other restaurant serves a side salad before the main meal. Not here, it came with the meal...

This was our second time visiting this restaurant and each time is 5 stars all around. Our server was Poncho and he was so friendly and knowledgable. I have celiac disease so I must eat gluten free and he knew everything about what I could and could not eat. 10/10 recommend, and will be visiting again the next time we are in Pittsburgh.

Visited last year and had a great experience with a larger party. Came back last night for my girlfriend’s birthday. The service was great and makes the experience. We had Elise as our server and she was awesome. The food is fantastic and the deserts are insane. They also made sure to let us know about cross contamination with gluten items due to an allergy and were overly cautious which is much appreciated!

Great modern, healthy, restaurant. I loved all the gluten free options and enjoyed the Greek warm bowl with salmon. I also had the kale and apple smoothie, it tasted like it sounds. There wasn’t a lot of sugar or additives to hide the flavor. I still enjoyed the smoothie but it’s not for everyone, it definitely grossed out my husband and toddlers. This may cost a bit more than some similar restaurants but I think it’s worth it for good quality, well made, Whole Foods- which they did an excellent job of providing.

Nice setting and good service. Not the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. Gluten free option removes the rice, pita and anything fried. My lunch consisted of a large salad and three small pieces of meat. Would recommend getting dinner serving if you can’t have rice or pita. If I didn’t have a gluten allergy I would have enjoyed it much more. They do offer a gluten free menu. The Turkish tea was delicious!

3.8. Went for dinner tonight. Regular menu didn’t have any allergen markers, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out they did have a gluten free menu upon request. The menu wasn’t extensive, but it was sufficient for my purposes. I ordered my steak medium, because I typically have trouble with my steaks coming out severely underdone, and it came out perfectly medium rare as I was hoping for. The service was rather slow, and it wasn’t all that busy. The bathroom situation was pretty good. They had two stalls, two urinals and a bonus non-gender bathroom for emergencies.

I told them I had a gluten allergy and they took the necessary precautions. But this time I was also told to avoid the mayo because it's used for the bread. It was a first, excellent job in telling me!

Matt and David were wonderful, they make a great team. The food and drinks were excellent. The gluten free peanut butter cookies are some of the best we have ever had.

Cute little place for a quick bite with vegan and gluten sensitive options. A little overpriced for what you get. Napkins only available upon asking is a bit of inconvenience.

Trisha McDine

Excellent place to eat and get a drink and hang out with friends. Family friendly, food for all people, vegan gluten free or standard food. A lot of seating also seating outside in tents with lights and warmers inside. Hostess was fantastic, very clean. We were there around 6 45 and stayed until just after 9. Nice part of town took an Uber there and back to save on parking. Not your typical bar type atmosphere. Cant wait to go again. Had a great time. Highly recommend the artichoke and pita dip!

Cosmic Fitness, LLC

Gluten and soy-free diner here. Last night, my stepdaughter and I had dinner reservations before the Bills/Steelers preseason football game. I advised the restaurant via OpenTable of my dietary restrictions. Thus, both the host and our server, Autumn, were aware, and each advised the kitchen. Given such good communication, I ordered the Whiskey Pickled & Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese as an appetizer. Since the goat cheese was fried, Autumn recommended adding crumbled goat cheese instead. In regards to their house salad dressing, I asked her to double-check the ingredients to make sure that it did not contain soy. Unfortunately, it did, so olive oil was a fine substitute. For my main entree, I selected the Half Roasted Mesquite Chicken, which is one of their normal gluten-free choices. It is served with sautéed spinach, asparagus, and smashed red skins. The chicken was moist, and each of the vegetables was delicious. My stepdaughter thoroughly enjoyed her French Onion Soup and Salmon Caesar Salad. Thank you once again, Autumn, for your attention to detail, and we look forward to dining with you again the next time we visit Pittsburgh.

Angela disipio

perfect, unexpected spot. It is absolutely beautiful inside, like a spot in Europe! All I wish for are glutenfree options for us unfortunate allergy sufferers.

Michael Purcell

Excellent food. Have tried half the menu (the gluten free options only), and everything was delicious! Went back for dinner 2 nights in a row it was so good. And the waitstaff were wonderful - patient and attentive. Food was brought out as soon as it was ready. Will definitely go back next time I come to town.

Susan Galleboyko

Slow slow slow! When asking for gluten free French toast, there’s no powder sugar or cinnamon. The amount of pancake for the dollar size isn’t even 1 pancake. For $60 we left hungry

R Bran

Sultan Doner is a hidden gem, especially for those with gluten-free needs! My wife has gluten intolerance. Although the menu is not marked for GF, the owner was incredibly helpful in pointing out several menu options that are gluten-free. Many of the kebabs are GF. And the additon of a Turkish coffee or pop drink, making it a great spot for a casual meal. It's also super convenient, located steps away from the baseball stadium and with easy access from the Roberto Clemente bridge. While they don't explicitly advertise gluten-free options, the owner's help to identify meals for dietary restrictions was a big plus! Just be sure to ask about them when you order.

Tamara Weaver

Food can be spicy, but delicious! Gluten-free options too

Zachary Davis

This place is lit. The vibe, atmosphere, music, drinks, food. It's not as loud as other bars, makes for a great social lounge. They have a kitchen serving up tons of veg snacks, and their Hummus board can be made gluten free!

Bobby Simon

One of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. Bone marrow is always a must and they even offered a gluten free option for the bread. Highly recommend to anyone in town. Definitely make reservations in advance

Emily

From the moment I walked in I knew it was a going to be a great experience. Good vibes, gorgeous atmosphere, amazing selection of seasonal grub and many options for dairy and gluten free intolerances. Server FRY J sent it over the top. Best service I've ever had. He anticipated every need and just had a positive energy that you know was not put on. Thank you for a great start to the day and making our Pittsburgh trip memorable.
