Best Ethiopian Restaurant in the Bay Area hands down!!! Fresh ingredients, Great food, wonderful service and I love the decor! If you are a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan or gluten free like me you wouldn’t be disappointed if you choose this authentic Ethiopian restaurant! The friendly owner makes it more inviting and comfortable! I don’t live in the Bay Area but every time I go back the food is consistently delicious.The place is great for all people, couple, friends, families, officemates. It's just so great you got try it.

Smokehouse is the best classic burger in the Bay. They also have delicious milkshakes, and their meat is now halal!! My friend is dairy and gluten free and they have a gluten free bun option and a dairy-free option for the shake. 10/10!

I’m so happy i found this place the other day! I have Celiac disease so it’s hard to find places I can eat. I’ve been getting their carnitas tacos and rice. Delicious!

Nonya Bisnus

Very yummy and wow the gluten free and vegetarian options!! Large portions and good for sharing. We had lots to take over after. 💗 Thank you

Shailaja Bulusu

Really nice people and delicious food. The coffee comes in a cute large mug. They were able to make the California Benedict for me without diary or gluten. Not so great area of town, but very comfortable inside

Cafe Tibet is in my top 5 restaurants in the East Bay. I love their Ngoe-thuk pan friend sweet potato noodles with tofu and vegetables, which tastes so delicious and the portion so generous it makes me supremely happy! With their Himalayan seasonings, vegetables choices and take on fried rice, noodles, soups, and organic veggie dishes make unique and some of the healthiest Asian food around. I am gluten free so I can't eat the Momos (Tibetan dumplings), but every person I have brought to Cafe Tibet orders them and says they are scrumptious. There is an influence of Indian cuisine in some of the dishes and appetizers and their macrobiotic plates are also generously portioned and super tasty. No boring, bland vegetarian food here. I have been eating at Cafe Tibet for 6 years and the change to vegan was an enviromental choice on the part of the relative who inherited the restaurant from his Aunt who retired, but it hasn't effected the yumminess of their offerings. I have spent the past 3 years between NYC, LA, SF and the East Bay and there is a bit of a foodie revolution going on in the later, surpassing everywhere else. I read a list recently that put Oakland as number one on a list as best city to eat out nationally. I am lumping all of the East Bay into that category, but I would agree, Oakland, Berkeley and Albany have it going on. It's probably the influence of Berkeley's Chez Panisse which started the whole farm to table revolution using quality ingredients to make delicious healthy food. In any case Cafe Tibet is part of that community worth keeping on your Best of the Bay list.

Gluten free pizza was good. There was a problem with the restaurant not receiving my order but they rectified it quickly.

Tastie Cereale

Wow. Truly great service, and great food. Really surprised in a good way. I'd given up on any expectation of friendly or helpful service in Berkeley. But this place was a very pleasant surprise. I was dealing with some temporary dietary restrictions and didn't realize the dish I ordered used an ingredient I couldn't have until after I had a few bites. The manager (?) Keith not only offered to substitute, but even agreed to try my fantastic idea of using french fries instead of the macaroni. Holy hell, who does that? The best part is that he was incredibly nice through it all. We were all amazed. I just finished the rest of my fries and cheese, and I really hope they add fries as a gluten free option to pasta to their menu because it is delicious. I will definitely be returning.

The Arlington catered our wedding at the Brazilian Room last weekend and I cannot recommend them more highly. In addition to being a phenomenal and creative chef, Marc was gracious with our many and growing dietary requests. Our menu was 100% vegan, and free of gluten, peanuts, and garlic - our guests were stunned to hear that there was no garlic in anything. Marc's energy ahead of time was just what we needed - organized, supportive, and exuding competence. The day-of team was friendly, hard-working, and just added such a sweet flow to the day. If you are considering The Arlington, do yourself a favor - book them today! You'll cross one massive item off your event to-do list (hire the caterer) and I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Marc, Lindsay, and team!!

Very tantalizing. The service is efficient and friendly, the crab benedict was amazing as was the green tea latte. My sister was able to order gluten free toast, we were both happy. It is a bit pricey but it was worth it to us. The ambiance is lit as well. Go enjoy! Brunch is bustling, we added our name to the list but only waited 10 minutes.

Richard DeLiberty

Great good. Excellent service. To be gluten free they serve a burger on a bed of arugula. Much much better than it sounds.

A Free

Great place. Gluten free options. Good communication and very polite. The schedule may change but the food is delicious. If it is late and there's a lock down they will have your food while you stay safe. Great taste and great service over the many years in Berkeley!

Ariana F

Stumbled upon this place while a friend was in a meeting. Wonderful service, friendly staff & food was yummy! Great if you’re gluten/dairy free - thanks!

Tim Heath, DC

Loved the gluten free bun with my burger. Delicious. Staff was friendly and drinks were tasty

Vamshi Balanaga

Chipotle-esque grain bowls with gluten free, vegan, vegetarian options. Tons of options from local sources all sustainably grown. Most things are organic. Slightly expensive, but definitely worth it.

Love Way Station! Neighborhood gem for sure. Great place to hang out with friends or just chill and read in the back, which has been like an oasis over the last year and a half. They make great coffee and have a really nice selection of wine, craft beers, and cider to chose from. The food is yummy homemade fare. Especially love that you can get breakfast anytime. Their keto breakfast is the bomb. Two fresh eggs, amazing gluten free toast, perfectly ripe avocado and some apple slices. My new favorite breakfast out. I also love that you can get a nice juicy impossible burger. The folks who work here are super nice. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be there every day. It is worth the drive from El Cerrito. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

It's always a good day when you can get some Slivers. The green sauce is of course amazeballs, a must-get every time you buy a pizza. I feel like their prices are reasonable for what you get, and they almost always add in a couple of free extra slices. My favorite is the yukon potato and corn pizza, but the mushroom pizza is a close second. I also love love love the fact that their gluten-free and dairy-free pizzas are the same price as their normal pizzas, you don't see that in other restaurants. Rarely ever a line and when there is it moves very quickly. Service is always fast and easy.

Came here on a whim and loved it! Beautiful space, great food, excellent coffee, and gluten free options

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Fantastic fresh options for gluten free. No wheat binders in their falafel.

Mely made my birthday experience FUN! She is very outgoing, friendly and even assisted my friend with a gluten allergy. The chef happened to pop out and to let Mely know the " green curry mussels were 86'ed" as in sold out LOL. He was very kind and he even assisted with being super accommodating to my friends Gluten diet. We stayed till close and they let us do pur thing...the food was amazing & drinks we're even better.. Thank you Mely!!!

April Olsen

Incredible views of SF and GGB. Excellent service and good food shareable and gluten free options!

alexis kerwood

We’ve been here twice and the food is mouth watering! Very gluten free friendly as well as the seasoning of the food, and the combinations is really delicious. I rarely leave reviews but this place deserves it. The short rib, chicken and steak are wait weve tried so far

Maryam Webster

Love the heck out of this place! Hazem and Mudrakers are a real find. Ample outlets at every table and where else can you get a student-friendly coffee, massive salad with meat & cheese and Middle Eastern platter for around $20? Great for study, meetups & chatting. Have gluten-free options as well!

karolyn van putten

They have a gluten free "pasta" option that's pretty tasty. Portions are ample with enough for leftovers or sharing. You can also phone ahead for carry-out or pay for a delivery service (Caviar, etc).

Julian Gonzalez

Small place but cozy. Service was good and they took care of my gluten allergy. Lemonade are great and food is tasty. We came on a Sunday and the place was not crowded.
