It was my first time at Mantra. Came here for a date night and hadn’t heard of this place. We tried the yucca fries, Brussel sprouts, Buffalo jack Flatbread, and Oyster Mushroom Marsala. Everything was deliciousss. I also ordered a Cheesecake which was also yummy and the Korean BBQ Tacos to go. I ordered a Serenity tea which was good. The atmosphere and the service is great. My date who is not vegan had the Oyster Mushroom Marsala and he enjoyed it. I love the fact that it’s gluten free. Will definitely come back to eat here as there are more things I want to try.

ISO real GF food for my celiac/ Chrons/EPI spouse. Made a reservation sight unseen because I saw GF crab cakes on the menu. Find out most of the menu (including dessert) is GF! The crab cakes were excellent! The GF cheese cake had a crust! And was awesome! I am not in need of GF food. I ate all of this as well. Would absolutely recommend to all. The prices are a bit high, but I would pay that every time to get my spouse high quality real food like this. Will definitely come here every time I am in Houston.

I loved their snow crab and Pacific mahi mahi. They have an extensive gluten-free menu and great service.

My boyfriend and I chose this restaurant, despite its distance from our gate, precisely because of the reviews. Our gate is at Gate C, and we walked to Gate E, where Pappadeaux is located. Airport restaurants usually have the worst ratings, but this place has 4.5 stars, and after visiting it, I understand why. First, their service is some of the best I've ever received. They took the time to cook our dish two different ways, since my boyfriend is allergic to gluten. They were always attentive to us, even though the place was packed. The food was quite delicious, highly recommended!

We found this little gem while stopping through Houston as we were hunting for gluten free places to eat. I’m so glad we did. Our server Brooke helped us navigate all the sides that were gluten free and after our meal recommended the flan which we enjoyed even we were sooooo stuffed. Everything was absolutely great and atmosphere was amazing. I highly recommend a visit. Say hi to brook.

My party and I had a wonderful experience, especially thanks to our server Brian. My boyfriend has a gluten allergy and trying to find a place with gluten-free options or people who are knowledgeable of a gluten-free diet is always a challenge. I told Brian ahead of time that our table had a gluten allergy and he told us to go ahead, select our options and he would see what he could do. We ordered an assortment of nigiri, three rolls, the ceviche, grilled shishito peppers, house made seaweed salad - all of which Brian made sure could be modified into a gluten-free version and were still so delicious! We were so pleasantly surprised to hear his expertise on the ingredients in each dish. I could tell how attentive he was being throughout the night as he brought us our dessert bowls before we had the chance to order, it felt like he was reading our minds. The kakigori and green tea soufflé cake were also gluten-free and were a lovely touch to end the night on. We’re still raving about the amazing experience today and it wouldn’t have been the same without him. Thank you so much! :)

I recently visited Pappadeaux’s in downtown Houston with high expectations, especially given my dietary restrictions (gluten-free). As a seafood restaurant, I anticipated a variety of options, but was disappointed to find only a small menu available for gluten-free diners. I chose the trout with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach, while my wife ordered roasted oysters, as they didn’t have Oysters Rockefeller. I was surprised that a seafood place didn’t offer Oysters Rockefeller—it's such a classic dish. The service, however, was outstanding. The management and our server went above and beyond to ensure my dietary needs were accommodated, and I truly appreciated their efforts. Unfortunately, the food arrived lukewarm, which led to us sending it back for reheating. After traveling all the way from Alabama to try Pappadeaux’s, I felt let down by the overall experience. While the service was top-notch (a solid 10 for effort), the food didn’t meet expectations, so I’d rate it a 5 due to my dietary limitations. Overall, I’d give the experience a 6. Would I return? I’m not sure.

Everything I get here taste delicious. I love their silver king roll and sometimes I ask for it raw and they will do it. They have gluten free options which is great if you have Andy intolerances or allergies!

Great food, reasonable prices. Friendly wait staff. Gluten free menu offerings. Note: the kitchen closes 30 minutes prior to the dining room.

One of my favorite places because they have the most delicious steak and also the gluten free desert. Thank you Tylia you were amazing.

Victoria Sanchez

The place is very nice, live music, a lot of gluten-free options! The birthday dessert was amazing and beautiful, also the service was amazing. Drinks were very nice, specially the mezcal old fashioned that we got. Salmon was cooked perfectly and the pasta was very good as well. As an appetizer we got raw oysters, my first time eating those and actually really enjoyed it! The location is very convenient as well

The order was for three people. I had a gluten free chicken caeser salad. I love the caeser dressing. I wish you all would bottle and sale your dressing. The two other people had seafood gumbo, fried catfish and french fries with warm bread. Thanks for your service

Amazing Service and Food. We had a very large private party with a few dietary needs such as gluten free. They went above and beyond! It was amazing!

As always, a delightful evening with fantastic service, food, and wine. For years now, my gluten sensitivity has forced me to pass on any birthday treats after dinner, which made my celebratory creme brulee an extra, extra special treat. Again, such an awesome evening all the way around!!:-)

Laura Perkins

Really delish plus gluten-free! I had the shrimp mild with lemon garlic. Well flavored and good messy eating. Staff was great.

Patti Voss

We are huge Bludorn fans and were looking forward to celebrating my birthday here. I have to say that the service was amazing. The staff that attended to our table were very attentive and always there to assist us. Even brought me gluten free bread. We were so disappointed with our entrees. The salmon was rare on the inside even though we had asked for medium. The ají amarillo sauce on one of the fish entrees was tasteless. The crab cake was amazing. The carrot cake was not. A huge let down. Maybe our expectations were so high as we love Bludorn.
