This place was amazing for our food allergies, and the food was yummy! We had a whole group of people with gluten allergies and one person with both gluten and dairy allergies. The server, Pemba, was awesome! He brought out a photo of the ingredients of their boba so we could check to make sure it's dairy free (it is!), and he was super careful about all of our allergies. Good food, great service! Definitely will return.

There was only one person waiting all of the tables when we got there, but he was doing an amazing job. I have no idea how he did it. Seemed like a job for multiple people. I was pleased by the number of options available that were, or could be made, vegan and gluten-free. The gluten-free sandwich roll was so big that it overpowered the contents, but the soup and salad were amazing! I just added my salad to my sandwich to make it more substantial.

I’m compelled to leave this review because we almost didn’t eat here because there was no mention of gluten free. We decided to eat here for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by the gluten free toast, gluten free chocolate muffins, and gluten free orange muffins. The other obvious gluten free items like the eggs and bacon were really delicious as well, not typical hotel buffet eggs. Also, the ambiance was lovely! There were multiple fireplaces that were on even at breakfast. I would imagine this would be very welcoming at dinner. Really yummy coffee and excellent service.

Enjoyed the relaxed vibe and delicious food. Everything was wonderful, warm and welcoming. The Gelato looked amazing - we must return another day to try! They serve crêpes on the weekend, and they even had gluten-free options. Very impressed, and can't wait to come back. They do have a cute little café dog that was content just sitting quietly and enjoying people's company, but heads up if you are adverse to that sort of thing.

Four for dinner (I'm gluten intolerant.) It was difficult for me to make a choice because several of my favorites were off limits to me (rice contained orzo). However our server guided me through and helped me choose the Shish Kofte which was the most delicious lamb I've ever had. The seasoning was perfect. Instead or rice, I was offered more vegetables which was fine. Other guests raved about their food. Our server really knew the menu, understood my dilemma, and and was very attentive to our needs. I would happily recommend Kazan's. As mentioned, they carry Turkish beer, great appetizers, and very nice wines! The prices are a little on the high side for us, but well worth it. If they were a little lower, we would dine there more often. It is a lovely restaurant where your can have a nice leisurely dinner. Enjoy!

Amazing! Gluten free Penang curry with shrimp! And satay! Words are hard to find! Definitely some heat. Creamy and just everything it should be! All my party tasted what little was left and voted it one of their faves! Ate on the patio, so pleasant. Great atmosphere. Nice small family business that hope grows and thrives!

Such a beautiful restaurant. Love the interiors, overall service and the menu. The food was amazing too! We can substitute regular bread with gluten free for no additional cost. Gluten free bread was tasty too! It was mildly sweet and not at all dry and crumbly.

This handsome restaurant took me by surprise. I was taking my girlfriend out for a birthday lunch on a frigid day, saw how handsome the interior was, and stopped in. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy with, honestly — one of the best gluten-free burgers that I’ve ever had. They also made an excellent Moscow Mule at their bar, and were absolutely as friendly as could be. Even their (food) plating was charming. They even surprised my girlfriend and I was a banana crème Brûlée, with a candle on it! I’m absolutely going back here.
