Top 21 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Explore in Northwest Raleigh

English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have loved it every time! They are allergy-friendly, 100% gluten-free, and are willing to make accommodations. They have this vegan cilantro sauce that is phenomenal. I’ve gotten the vegan beyond arepa with avacados, lettuce, and Fritos. The rice and beans (the beans depend on who is making it; there have been some inconsistencies there), but everything else is good. I also love their fresh juices. The passionfruit one is my favorite. English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have always loved it.

The food was delicious! GLuten friendly options are available. The Arepas were decently sized, though a big guy like me needs two. I preferred the pork over the salmon.

Love that they have a gluten free pizza! And dairy free cheese! Not only do they have these options, but they taste very good. I come to Mod every time I’m in Raleigh

I've been here before a year ago or so, the service and atmosphere are wonderful, I really enjoy eating there! I got the smoked salmon frittata and it was delicious! I had to ask for a bit more salad dressing, but our server was very kind and was happy to get me some more. The reason I've given the good a low review isn't because it's bad, but because they've gotten rid of their gluten free/friendly options (still have gf toast though, it was pretty good). I was super excited to go back and even more so when I saw all the delicious Fall options for pancakes, only to find out they no longer had the option to make them gf. I hope to hear they reintroduce that in the future.

Food was delicious! We had 3 different chicken dishes. And three different desserts! Service was excellent ! All of the food items were gluten free except for Chili Naam! We were given extra chili sauce to accommodate different palates!

Love Randy's. Now happy to have a gluten free option as well.

We sat at the sushi bar. The gentlemen who were preparing our meal were funny, the service was pretty good. We engorged on sushi. The atmosphere was appreciated because we got to watch them construct the rolls we ordered! Recommend for sure! Only suggestion I would have is the addition of gluten free soy sauce so I could enjoy the wasabi as well. (I like to mix the 2 & dip my roll in it. ) I cannot have the hibachi because of the excessive amount of gluten/ soy sauce.

Delicious lunch! I enjoyed the California chicken salad sandwich & potato salad. Everything was fresh and filling. Staff were very friendly and attentive. My friend loved the gluten free options.

I had a few early morning appointments across town and needed to grab food in between. Due to my mindful lifestyle and autoimmune issues, I’m very particular about the quality of ingredients, preparation, and nutrients, so I don't eat out often. I ordered the "Triathlete" plate with a side of chicken sausage and gluten-free toast. The first plate came out with old-looking fruit, no tomatoes, no toast, no pico, and no mushrooms—half the ingredients of the dish were missing. Essentially, it was just an egg white omelette with canned green chili and onions, a few grapes, and the chicken sausage I ordered. I had to call the server over, as she hadn’t checked on me. I pointed out the missing items, and she took the dish back to be remade. She mentioned they were out of mushrooms initially but were now cooking more. It seemed like they hoped I wouldn’t notice the missing ingredients. About 10 minutes later, the server returned with the dish, which still lacked pico and had only one piece of diced tomato. They did add more fruit, which was nice. Again, I had to call out to the server, who was hanging out at the hostess stand. I told her I was over the experience and wasn’t going to send the food back again. She brought me a box for my fruit and handed me a gift card as I left. Overall, it was a lackluster experience and a stark reminder of why I’ve been avoiding eating out post-c0vid. The photo is the "remake".

Went here for the first time and wasn’t expecting much but it was GREAT. My spouse is Italian and very picky and also enjoyed it. We’ve tried lots of Italian places in Raleigh area and this is the best. Excited to bring my friends with dietary needs here as well because apparently they also have gluten free options I’m very picky about my Alfredo (for some reason most restaurants have such bland Alfredo) but their Cajun pasta with Alfredo was very flavorful. The penne vodka is their most popular dish for good reason and also very flavorful. I also enjoyed their steak and cheese during lunch

I was excited to try this place because they had 2 dedicated vegan options, that also just galen to be gluten free. I could either get the blue corn tortilla tacos or the enchiladas. Both came with nopales (cactus) and black beans. I chose the tacos, simply becauseI'm not typically a big fan of green tomatillo sauce, which was on the enchiladas. The tacos were very good and extremely filling. I feel they could have used more veggies in them and less beans though, for my personal preference, because the beans are pretty salty. We also got the guac and chips as an appetizer, and the guac was pretty darn good! I decided to try their Cadillac Margarita and was happy I did. Very flavorful and strong. Definitely not one of those weak ones with the electric neon green fake mix I've seen at other places. The atmosphere really has some cool touches and the building itself is a fantastic architectural design. If you haven't checked this place out yet, I highly suggest it!

Good gluten free toast. Coffee was nice and quick. Lots of seating and natural light.

Since it was my first time in, they were very patient with me explaining all the options and going through all the items with me. Loved that there were so many gluten free options. I had a lamb bowl on a bed of rice and chickpeas. Food was tasty and plentiful. Loved hearing how they welcomed everyone in as if they were family! Place is small, so I sat in a barstool facing the wall at the long bar table. Only a few tables inside and weather wasn’t great for sitting outside.

This is their gluten free pizza! It was pretty good. Not the best in town but one of the better ones :)

Melody Dickerson

Sooo yummy! Richard was our server and he was so kind and VERY helpful and accommodating to my gluten free friend. 10/10!

To begin, I am not a huge Mexican food person but anytime I want delicious food with a large variety of low carb options, gluten free options in the friendliest restaurant around I take my family here. The food is cooked to order, fresh and delicious and they have something for everyone. Excellent food, very clean restaurant and superb staff.

My favorite place to eat when I drive thru Raleigh... My dad took me to the original as a child and it's delicious comfort food that accompanies many fond memories. The milk shakes are the best! Fries are cooked to perfection and I love the char grill hamburger steak over a bed of lettuce(I'm gluten free)

Good gluten free selection for celiacs. Many of the side items are not gluten-free, that's the issue. Make sure you check with your server and if they're not 100% sure yet a manager to verify it, things like the rice are gluten free. Excellent food though

Sara Scanlon

This place is a staple! And they recently added a bunch of gluten free options to their menu which I always appreciate! Super kind service and delicious food.

Best Gluten Free Pizza! Great service, amazing pizza!!!! Love, Love, Love

Jonathan Hegarty

Been my go to place for over a year now. For me, best place for Mexican. A place my mom(who has celiacs disease can eat too, which is rare). Owner is the best, friendly, conversationalist. We talk for ages before I even order. Amazing place, 10/10
