10/10 this place is awesome. I've been here a few times and yesterday I got the gluten free fried chicken sandwich which also had on it Japanese egg salad and spicy mustard. I have celiac disease and it's so incredible to find amazing gluten free celiac friendly food that's this good and full size (we're not talking tiny gf bread, this stuff is legit). The portions are big and the food is reasonably priced. Also have a big selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Can't wait to come back soon

So glad I finally came by today for a late lunch (2PM) - cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors (adapted for non-Thais). Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!

BEST vegetarian bahn mi I’ve ever had. I have tried spicy lemongrass gluten and tofu mushroom, but I’m sure the curry bean curd is just as amazing. The service is also great, so sweet and patient even when there’s a long line. I’ve also never had to wait long for my foot even when it’s busy.

Mela has a wonderfully warm and cozy atmosphere and really great service. Chef Adiam was so kind which somehow made our beef tibs and vegetarian platter taste even better. The platter was vibrant and the gingered cabbage and salad were just as delicious as the misir wat and yellow lentils. The standout was the vegan and gluten-free Tef Chocolate Cake, made with tef flour and layered with tasty Bavarian cream. I will be coming back for this dessert!

I recently ordered pizza from Basil for a marketing event. We had one guest that requested a gluten free option, some guests wanted chicken wings, and everyone was down for some good pizza. Basil Pizzeria was able to check every box. The pizza is as superb as their customer service. If you are looking for a place that serves great pizza, why not support a small business as well? Stop by Basil Pizzeria today!

Lots of good stuff here! Mostly vegan if not all vegan, though a lot of it is the "fake meat" stuff that I try to avoid since it's highly processed and sometimes is made out of/with gluten. One of the downsides to eating here is that it isn't at all obvious what foods have gluten in them, so I had to have our server go check which dishes are gluten-free. The curry eggplant hot pot just might be my favorite thing to get here ... I'm drooling thinking about it!

Such a cute restaurant! We couldn't decide so we got one slice of each pie they had for sale today. So delicious!! I love the way they mixed classic pie flavors with new ones I've never had before. You can eat your pie while eating board games upstairs or eat outside. Locally sourced, fresh produce. Everything is labeled with common dietary things like dairy and gluten. They have way more than pie on their menu too! Will definitely have to come back for brunch sometime!! Love this place!

Held an event for 25-28 people here on a Monday night for a work event. They were great to work with in leading up to the event, very responsive. The night-of the restaurant was set up so nicely and the atmosphere was perfect for a group our size. Everyone was super impressed with the food, sake drinks and the service. The staff was very professional and friendly. The food was amazing and bountiful! We were all so stuffed - and the food kept coming! The Hamachi Shooters were a fan favorite. And there were enough options for our vegetarian and gluten-free friends. Definitely recommend for future events and just dinner in general.
