Marie Giacobbe

Amazing experience. Extremely kind staff. So welcoming, friendly and go over the top for us! Gave me free dessert and a candle for my birthday. All the food was incredible and for someone who is gluten free , it was a dream! Thank you Samba we will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone we know! And a beautifully decorated place as well.

Both my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the meatball appetizer and our pizzas. He ordered the 9-inch Detroit style gluten-free pizza, and I ordered the Meatball Ricotta Pizza. The food was fresh, delectable, and perfectly seasoned. The staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere was dark, modern, and sophisticated. We were seated right in front of the counter, which allowed us the opportunity to speak with the owner, who was absolutely delightful and gave us the history of the restaurant and himself.

Small, counter service bakery, with a few seats at the bar and a couple tables outside. Everything we got was really good. I'm not gluten free but my partner is, and we both really enjoyed what we got. We got two bagels, one sesame with butter(her) and an everything with cream cheese(me) here in lies our only beef. My partner is also dairy free so the butter was the only option and even that was a stretch and a chance. And they were pretty light with my cream cheese, not trying to be greedy but I expect an ample schmere. So the bagels were amazing but in the future we'd get them to go. We also bought an array of donuts and cookies to take for later and ALL of those were excellent. Not pictured are the filled donuts, and a slice of coffee cake. Honestly the best thing in my opinion was that thumbprint cookie, kinda stole the show for me. I would go back back get 50 of those things. It's really nice to have a bakery option be gluten free. And if you are, this place is totally up there. 9 out of 5 stars

my favorite place ever .

Everything was 100% gluten free even the fries. Burger was juicy and tender and sweet potato fries were done to perfection. Thank you for a great meal!

Egle Dykhne

I really appreciate them having a gluten-free menu and lots of options, not just a salad. I tried their gluten free general tsos shrimp and shaved marinated brocoli shoots as an appetizer. It was generally good but shrimp was a bit overcooked. I will come back to taste their other dishes.

Diana Kraut

My daughter got the rigatoni a la vodka and loved it. I got a gluten free pizza which is where it fell apart. I’m always grateful for a gf option, and I am used to paying an extra price for having a dietary restriction despite it not being a personal choice, but an extra $6 for a soft floppy pizza seems wild. And the soda was flat.

Sabrina K

Separate fryer for fries. gF buns toasted in separate toaster and prep area. Very allergy aware and celiac friendly

Mike Ashworth

Went for dinner a little early There was plenty of open tables but they filled up as the meal went on. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Nice decor. It did get a little loud as the tables filled up We got the Mesob sampler, which was larger and varies. There were a large number of options to choose from from all areas of the menu. We chose high spice options across the board and they varied in heat, but a few had some really nice fire to them. Everything was well cooking. All of the meats were juicy and tender. There are plenty of veg options and gluten free us availtif you call ahead. The sampler was generously portioned and more than enough for two. The serve was good. Attentive but not assertive. They multiple employees checked in frequently. I am a hearty eater, but even though the dessert options sounded good, there I was too full to even consider it. Overall, very nice. I would absolutely recommend them

Scott MacChesney

Great breakfast space with plenty of seating and tons of options including gluten free. Comfortable atmosphere, French toast was wonderful.

Jennifer S.

Loved everything about Tacoria. The decor and wall art was beautiful. My favorite was the one toward the back made from books. Food was delicious - had their salad bowl with the vegan street corn and loved it so much I went back a second time. They have gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!

C Peters-Clarke

It’s ok. Very hit or miss depending on who is working that day. Had a really good crepe,and they have great options for vegan and gluten free. Perfect for middle of the day remote work because outlets are marked and it’s not full of people midday during the week.

Geri Andrea

I got takeout for the family from here tonight and it was phenomenal! We have a Celiac person and they were responsive to the need of gluten free (for the Pad Thai). Everything was piping hot when we unpacked it and sat down with it. I would definitely return for dine in and recommend to everyone!

MS F

I love everything about this place. Coffee is delicious every time. Pastries have good variety, have gluten free options, and are delicious! I understand they need to have days off so no judgement there. But Mondays and Tuesdays are my most free days and they are closed those days :(

Anita Cimera

Really just want to rave about what an amazingly delicious gluten free chocolate- chocolate chip muffin they have!

Michael Santangelo

Best Chinese food in the area. Plentiful gluten free options.

Ben Williams

Steer clear. An overall unpleasant experience. They were out of several dishes, omitted components entirely (avocado on the salmon) or had made substitutions without letting us know - (ricotta (?) for creme fraiche on the bolognese, and most shocking: a corn tortilla for a gluten-free bun on a burger). On the upside the service was suitable - our server did their best considering the circumstances and their own frustration with the restaurant's lack of detail and basic ingredients. Hopefully management / ownership can right the ship - where its headed now is down, down, down...

Laura Labadia

I work in an medical office in Montclair, we wanted to order lunch from a new place. Great customer service and the food was DELICIOUS!!! Amazing taste and you can tell all fresh ingredients. They accommodate their menu to all, including gluten free! Absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to come here and experience the vibes and atmosphere. The restaurant is stunning! So happy I found this amazing gem!

Eileen Kane

We enjoy the dining experience at the Montclair House Grill. We were impressed by their friendly staff. Especially pleased to find Gluten Free items available

Plantivore Kitchen - Lauryn Emilia

It can be challenging to find a restaurant that not only has amazing food, but also has amazing service. Laboratorio Kitchen exceeded all expectations on both counts for my bridal shower event. The food is absolutely delicious and they are wonderfully accommodating for food allergies. They accommodated for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and more. Highly recommend the mushrooms, salad, and risotto. Everyone attending the event loved the food! Thanks to James, Lauren, and the whole team. The staff was so kind and constantly checking in on guests to see if they needed anything. Also, the restaurant is beautiful and bright. Would definitely host another event here!

Lior Seidel

Great GF pizza!

Alisha Farley

SJ and her husband are the dream team! I stumbled upon them in trying to find a place who can make vintage style wedding cakes, regular and gluten free, in the Montclair area. Once I spoke with them, they easily accommodated everything I asked for and for a very great price. Not only did we get a chance to go in to try all the cakes, frostings and fillings, included in the total, but we also got to meet them and their family, who are so sweet, welcoming and down to earth people (really making it worth the $$$ in helping and supporting small businesses/their family). SJ also makes all the cakes, icings and filings from scratch-delicious!! On the day of my wedding, the cakes were just ask expected and beyond our expectations!!! Highly recommend them not only just for weddings but any cakes for any special occasion!!!!

Esther Shilo

Lovely place with lovely food and lovely people. And they can substitute their breads with gluten free options. Had a lovely chicken sandwich. Oh and their turmeric latte is delish 💕

wafa ayyad

The cafe had an Istanbul vibe to it. Very exquisite and cute. I loved how our gluten free diet was accommodated. Definitely coming back.

Carolyn Guancione

Called and made a reservation for a pre show dinner. Was so happy with my husbands choice of this restaurant first time there and everything was amazing. Our server Rocco was so nice and accommodating he explained that they offered gluten free options that I was not aware of my chicken dish that he recommended and made the necessary changes for me were amazing. The portions are wonderful my husband ordered lamb and he said it melted in his mouth. They also have gluten free focaccia bread I can’t wait to go back thanks you for a wonderful dinner experience. Another great factor is the food was so very affordable thank you for offering delicious food at an affordable price

Everything that needs to be said about this lovely Montclair cafe has already been said by other reviewers. The ambiance is just as cozy and homey as others have suggested, and the service (both at the tables and counters) is friendly to boot. What I'd like to add to the heaps of praise of this sweet cafe is my personal ode to the pistachio croissant. Maybe it's the recent vitality of the famed Dubai chocolate, but I've noticed this green nut making a more prominent appearance in pastry shops (to note: Sweet Kitchen proffers their own version of the Dubai dessert). I was tempted by two of them behind this cafe's counters - the gluten-free pistachio cookie and the pistachio croissant. For a cookie free of gluten, this one's got plenty of crunch and texture. There's a ton of almondy essence (maybe it's made with almond flour?) that beautifully complements the flavor of the ground pistachios. But the croissant was what took my breath away. When we broke into it, we audibly gasped at the gooey dribble of pistachio filling that revealed itself. It's a wonderful and tasty surprise that, along with the crunchy pistachio topping, makes for an incredible take on the humble croissant. There are just enough tables to provide a low hum of vibrancy without making things too loud. The corner of self-service materials (eating utensils, water cups, and bins for used glassware) also makes this a great space for hanging out to work or catch up with friends without waiting for servers.

Super cute space, a tiny step up at the front door so I don't know how that would work for people in wheeled devices, but I was limping kinda hard when I came in and I was able to navigate it easily. Delicious food with gluten free and vegetarian options. Delicious gluten free desserts, and fantastic rotisserie chicken.

Erin Paul Ozolins

Gluten free options!! They have two *beautiful* mini cakes that are GF. You can also get them full size for a birthday. There are also other GF options like macarons, a cookie, etc. Usually GF folks don’t get to enjoy the pretty cakes at a place like this, but there is a delicious chocolate cake and an incredible tropical fruit mousse cake that are both unbelievably good. Run, don’t walk!

Chef G

The iced vanilla decaf latte with oat milk was smooth and delightful. The impossible burger with gluten-free bread was average. Definitely needed a better plate presentation. The side salad dressing had too much vinegar.

Amy Perry

Sue Kamens

Bright, cheery, clean restaurant with delicious, fresh, generous portioned vegan food! But the real win is the staff. Friendly, helpful, and knowledge. I'm gluten free and the server let me know that the biscuits were gluten free, even though they were not marked gluten free on the menu. Since I *never* get to have biscuits I didn't believe her and probably asked her 4 times if she was sure. She patiently answered me each time, and I finally went for a biscuit with buttah and jam. I will come back here even just for those biscuits!!!! Probably one of the most delicious GF things I have ever eaten, and even more special because I never would have ordered it without the server mentioning that it was GF. The power bowl was good too 😉. My husband had the BBQ pulled oats and said they were flavorful and filling.

Yummy small business with lots of flavor and choices! I had the bbq jackfruit sandwich which came with plantain chips and the most delicious coleslaw. I also had a vegan coconut cupcake. I am so happy with that lunch and will be back to try more. They had vegan, vegetarian gluten free and carnivore diet options.

KA Birdsall Griffiths

I am gluten free & my friend is vegan. There were several food choices for each of us & everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Allison Strong

My mom and I were looking for a quick place for lunch and happened upon Jalwa. We looked at the menu and peeked in: busy at lunch hour but an open table! VK Verma stepped out and warmly invited us in. What a great decision. I had the palak paneer lunch special and Mom had the chicken tandoori lunch special ($15 each). I also had the mango lassi--delicious and the right amount of sweetness. The portions are perfect, and all lunches come with a vegetable of the day, dal, basmati rice, roti or naan and dessert! The food was very fresh and tasty. Rasmalai for dessert on Tuesday and Kheer today. Yes, we have already been twice. I have found my favorite Indian restaurant in NJ! P.S. Very accommodating for Gluten Free Eaters. Celiacs and Gluten-Sensitive folks, rejoice! Very easy parking nearby.

Timothy

Food was absolutely delicious! Will come here again with friends! They even have gluten free options for my fiancé! They have the most amazing BREAD as appetizers and the service here was nice, quick, and smooth! I would definitely come back to try other foods! Amazing atmosphere! All their cocktail drinks were delicious! Ordered the Burrata Ravioli! Huge fan of pesto pasta! Only downside was the portion, it was on the smaller end, however the taste was absolutely amazing!

Damjan Djuric

Initially planned on going to Toast for brunch and the wait was too long. Walked over to Uncle Momo Bistro and was pleasantly surprised. They combined tables to seat the 4 of us and served us right away. The eggs and milk are organic. The crepes are amazing and all gluten-free! Definitely was happy that I went to Uncle Momo’s instead!

Dani Herzog

The food was so delicious! My friend and I got this platter to share with hummus, shawarma, eggplant salad, and beets salad. They provided regular pita and gluten free laffa for my friend. Really delicious and nutritious!

Cory Turnbull

Best gluten-free pizza around.

Zeugma is such a lovely spot with delicious and incredibly fresh food! I came here with a group of four friends for brunch on a Saturday and while the place was busy, I didn't feel that it was overly loud or overwhelming. I would definitely recommend reservations during some of the peak times but it's a relatively large restaurant so I'm sure you'd be able to eventually get seated either way. One of my friends is a vegetarian and gluten-free and she had no issues finding a bunch of options to choose from on the menu. I love that everything is clearly labeled if it is vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free which makes life a lot easier for people with dietary restrictions. We started out with the mezze platter to share; you can choose any 3 mezzes. We opted for the Avogannush, Antakya Hummus, and Beet Heaven. For my main course, I got the Beet Falafel Wrap which comes with some delicious thin-sliced fries. It was extremely filling but not in a bad way; you won't feel overly stuffed after eating any of this food. I could tell that even the fries were made in a high-quality oil. If you love clean, fresh ingredients and chill, trendy vibe, Zeugma is a must-try!

Found this place on tiktok because a girl was selling plants there.I had the vegan sandwich. It was outer this world. The hot Apple cider was incredible. They have all different kinds of teas,and gluten free Donuts. All the staff are super friendly. They have a nice little patio you could sit and eat your sandwich and drink your tea or coffee. The parking was no problem they have a lot or on street parking too. The price was great too. Sometimes you have to get there early because they sell out a lot of stuff. there vegan sandwich or gluten free sandwich. Are awesome. I gave them a 5 star because the food was incredible and Fresh. the staff are super super friendly. The place is super clean And the prices was not bad at all. the atmosphere sitting on the patio It's so relaxing. So I would recommend this place to anybody.

Donna DeBellis

Outrageous crepes, gluten- free available also. Great soups & lattes . Nice weather outdoor seating. This is a very small place so I always get take out. Nice staff !

The breakfast burrito bowl was amazing, I ate it with such glee I forgot to take a picture. The bathroom is super clean there is very limited indoor seating I'm still not ready to do that but the outdoor seating is nice It's not in the street it's actually on a little sidewalk. and while the chairs aren't super comfortable for people with sciatic issues etc they're perfectly adequate for a meal. Raymond's is a New Jersey institution and I'm a big fan they're very accommodating and when it comes to my gluten and dairy issues and they're new turmeric lattes are super tasty.

I can’t say enough about the incredible experience we all had at HALCYON Montclair. I threw a bridal shower that was perfection from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, engaging, helpful, and everything you would want them to be. The food was prepared in a stunning way and abundant and was as delicious as it was beautiful. No less than 10 out of 30 people in attendance told me the chicken was the best they had ever had ( it really really was) . The other 15 said the salmon was the best they had ever had and the last five couldn’t stop raving about the pasta. I had quite a few dietary restrictions ( lots of celiacs in the crowd) and they handled it like pros. The decor is absolutely fantastic and fit in with our “love is in bloom” theme perfectly! I could go on and on, but I will just say that if you have a party at HALCYON, you will be so glad that you did! I can’t wait to go back!!! .

Laura Sweet

This is my favorite bakery in town - everything is delicious and there is a huge variety of fresh-baked treats. We recommended them to our neighbor because of their gluten-free needs, and they were thrilled with the gluten-free options. The staff is friendly and kind - they always give our dog a pup-cup! Highly recommend!

Akatriel Anderson

My partner and I decided to try this new restaurant for a date and were pleasantly surprised. The service was great, our waiter assisted us with our reservation and was very kind and polite. The food was very good, and a few gluten free options were offered, you just have to ask your server and advise them of any dietary restrictions. We ordered muscles as an appetizer which were amazing. I also had the Tuscan chicken which was very good. For two Entrees and the one appetizer it was about $70, which is fair for this kind of restaurant. It is BYOB so if you’d like wine or a cocktail you will need to bring it yourself. It’s very nice inside the decor is very new and clean. We will definitely be coming back for another date night!

Lauren Loflin

Was there last night to celebrate my 18th birthday. There was 8 of us, we came at 6:30 and were basically the only people in the restaurant and we left around 8-8:30. To start off: the food was great, especially the spinach dip though if you have a gluten intolerance you specifically have to ask for corn chips. We had a variety of food (Mac and cheese, empanadas, salads and burgers) and everyone agreed the Mac and cheese was the best. The staff and owner?/manager? Was super sweet, wanting feedback since we are a big younger than their typical demographic. This is something I really appreciated knowing that they are constantly looking at ways to improve their menu to better suite a wide range of people. Do not even get me started on the desserts they were AMAZING over 10/10 will come back also quick shout out to Dez our server who put up with 8 high school girls for 2 hours

T. S.

Not sure if its because of covid or worker shortages but everything is self order and pay on a smartphone. You do not have a server to ask questions and only a runner brings you your food and drinks. This made it feel kinda like a fast food restaurant, think shake shack. I went with one other person who had questions about gluten free options and what was actually in the cocktails, but there was noone to ask. Not for us.

David Graber

Best falafel I've had in a long time! Gluten-free options as well.
