Delicious food and excellent service. Several gluten free options, but somewhat limited on main dish options.

Amazing dinner! Wait staff was so thoughtful and friendly. Our entire party enjoyed our meal. As someone with celiac, they were happy to oblige my dietary needs. For an Italian restaurant, I was so pleasantly surprised with all of the gluten free food options. The patio was also beautiful! I will 100% be back! Wonderful experience!

The food was excellent! I have a gluten allergy and there were so many gluten free options. The flavors of all the dishes we tried were just great! Will definitely go again!

This is an adorable taco shop tucked inside the stutz building. There is an outside seating in a beautiful courtyard. They had a great selection of Gluten Free tacos and they were delicious. I loved reading about their story which you’ll find while waiting for your food.

VERY GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY! I saw Modita on TikTok and had to check out the hype. From the moment you walk in you are starting the experience. I went with a group of friends so we could properly have dim sum and it did not disappoint. They are able ti make a lot of dietary modifications! Did not take away from the meal. Also - Don’t forget it’s part of Cunningham restaurant group so if you have a free VIP account, you get points for spending! Pork Bao Buns were my favorite!

Coffee was delicious and went well with GF brownie. Very good brownie. They had two gf treats- maybe not a good breakfast location

Everything about Bosphorus Café is excellent. The atmosphere is so charming. The servers are so friendly and attentive. And the food is so yummy! The hummus is the best I’ve ever had. We all loved our meals- stuffed cabbage, chicken, gyros. Our picky-eater kids even had their fill! I was so impressed. They were also very accommodating of my cousin who is gluten free. We had an awesome experience! Thank you!

We had a fantastic experience at the Fountain Room! Our server, Katherine, was attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. She paid special attention to my wife’s gluten allergy which we really appreciated. We can’t wait to come back and bring our friends!

I wandered in here because the restaurant had great reviews on a gluten free rating website, and I am so glad I did. Walking in immediately brought to mind the tiny greek restaurants I’ve been to - a good start. I asked for hummus with cucumbers instead of pita, and from then on, my waitress was sure to take spectacular care of me. First - the hummus was excellent. Then she brought out a sampling of different dips. I do not usually like eggplant, but this was so good! She let me know that most of the meat dishes were easily gluten free, so I ordered the pork souvlaki. The salad was excellent- just the right amount of oregano. The souvlaki really stole the show though. It’s incredible. Perfectly cooked, flavored better than any meat I’ve had before. That sounds dramatic, but it really feels more like an understatement. The beans were delicious and the tzatziki was thick and creamy. This is hands down the best greek restaurant I’ve ever had the pleasure to eat at. The service here is fabulous - both my waitress and the waiter were so lovely, kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend and would come back in a heartbeat whenever I am in Indianapolis!

Appreciate all the service we received regarding our vegan/gluten free diet! They didn't make us feel weird or uncomfortable. They just made us feel accommodated and welcome. Always love coming here to build a sushi roll or bowl with tons of veggies. Every bowl turns out different and there's LOTS of different sauces to choose from.

This place is Overrated. I grew up in "hipster central" Portland, OR in the 90's. This place is trying too hard. The beet salad was amazing and a healthy portion. Everything else was small portions. Our waiter was attentive but had almost too much energy. The menu had no congruence. I'm sure there are marvelous dishes here but way, way overpriced for Indy. Good attention to my friends celiac dietary needs. The amazing giant beet salad and their understanding of serious gluten free needs is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3.

Abigail Perkins

Great place for sushi and ramen! We particularly like that they offer gluten free noodles and the vegetarian sushi is not just the basic avocado roll.

Sarah Slightom

I could eat here everyday! Well, if it wasn't on the pricey side. I have to be gluten free so they have rice noodles which are delicious and you can't tell the difference from regular noodles. So now I can get any dish and just sub in rice noodles. Employees are always nice and the wait time is really short. It's great healthy food!!

Amaya Tarrants

Good social place, gluten free pizza was great.

Baked lasagna was delicious. They have gluten-free penne pasta, which suited my husband with the chicken parm that was a very large serving. Salmon was cooked perfectly. I would not recommend the braised short ribs with gnocchi. Our serving was half of the picture presented. Overly attentive wait staff. Great choice!

We had dinner at the Chefs table and it was outstanding! Chef Brown and his team were amazing, my wife is gluten-free and they adjusted without compromising. From wine selection to proper portion sizing it was an evening we won't soon forget. Ask for a tour after dinner, there is a real prohibition Era bar in the basement.

Juliana Dawson

I was given the wrong order and I'm gluten intolerant so I can't eat the couscous or the fried chicken on this plate.

Joey Smith

Went with my best friend a couple of weeks ago. First time there and they even have food that is gluten free if you require modified dishes. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

If you love Cafe Patachou but long for a quieter, lounge-ier vibe, visit their gorgeous location at the Stutz! The food is can’t miss and the brewed coffee bottomless. I love the ricotta scramble toast-a little heat from the chili oil, yum-and the Cuban breakfast. The gluten free waffle is a winner, even if you don’t need to skip gluten. The cinnamon toast is delish too! And, if you’re fortunate enough to drop in on a Friday for lunch, don’t skip the Matzo ball soup! Authentic and absolutely perfect.

This is the best sushi I have ever had! I've had sushi all over the US and contrary to most beliefs, the Midwest has had better sushi than what I have had on the West Coast. Their server and bartender for the night was personable and considerate. I expressed my need for gluten-free items and the server brought a gluten free soy sauce so I could enjoy the food even more. All items that were ordered were excellent and the flavor was well rounded and nuanced. Without any soy sauce the sushi and sashimi was able to stand on its own. The salmon sashimi was the best I have ever had with wonderful buttery flavor and a firm but smooth texture. The atmosphere was inviting and soothing with a modern aesthetic. There were plenty of tables and space at the bar and everything was clean. I highly recommend that you eat here if you like sushi.
