Don’t even think about it. Unless you are seeking revenge on someone, in which case you should recommend they order delivery from this place. Found this place as “(Expletive) Gluten” on DoorDash. I figured out that the business behind that name was moonbowls, and chose to order directly from them so they’d hopefully get more money. The first two times I ordered from them were kinda rough: Food tasted OK, portions were quite small, and orders were 30 minutes late. I was foolish enough to order a third time. When the order was 15 minutes late I checked their app and saw that the food hadn’t been picked up. I texted their “concierge” service, which assured me that the food was just waiting to be picked up. 30 minutes later I texted again. Silence. Tried to call, but their phone number is just a complicated menu where all options lead you back to texting them. At the 2-hour mark I texted then again, only to learn that the order still hadn’t been picked up. They tried to shift blame, saying that they made the food on time but that their “delivery partner” (read: Uber Eats) was at fault. Whatever. I cut my losses and took the refund. Will never get that 2 hours back. You’ve been warned.

Super great to have a restaurant with clear gluten free labels, and to have certainty its allergen free. The food was ok, and could use a little more flavors. Portion sizes are large and it hit the spot for feeling full and satisfied, and still had leftovers.

Don’t say you’re gluten free when you also admit your items aren’t safe for people with celiac. Scummy and absurd. Be better.

The "Chicken tenders" are really chicken nuggets. While they are good and gluten-free, they are definitely NOT chicken tenders as they have listed on their menu. There is a BIG difference between Chicken Tenders and chicken nuggets. These are definitely nuggets.

Had the gluten free pizza. Very good

The food was delicious and the server was very helpful with a gluten allergy. Would recommend 100% for a special celebration.

Megan Lang

Great service and fantastic pizza! I also tried my husband’s gluten free pizza and it was one of the best I’ve ever tried. I would honestly have been happy to share with him which never happens! Would absolutely recommend Piz-zetta 10/10

Ishé Reyes

Great food with a good selection of options (including those that are vegan or gluten free), comfortable seats and overall really nice cinema. Just beware that Alamo chain is very particular on late comers so they won’t let you in if you are late (so don’t be late! 😆).

Sara Rivka Davidson

Lovely, attentive staff. Amazing salad buffet. Lots if gluten free and vegetarian options as well. The meats and chicken were AMAZING!

Erik Webb

Lunch hour was busy and we waited 25 minutes for our food. It was a mess of people waiting for their order and people trying to find the line to place an order. That said, the gluten-free hamburger (+$1) was really good, one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Good food but surprisingly slow service.

They accommodate gluten-free!

Emma Duncan

Very cozy restaurant, friendly stuff, good coffee and gluten free banana bread with berries was amazing! Coming back soon)

GLUTEN FREE GOODNESS!! These Shrimp Dumplings are to die for…. Before this I have not been able to have dumpling and with GF sauce in ages. So YUMMY 😋

Stepha

This is the best... I mean BEST Spanish vegan food in nyc! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! They even have some gluten free options. The sancocho is the closes I've had to my mommies and I'm comparing it to a colombian traditional sancocho. Staff is super nice and accommodating. So far been here twice

Ella Thompson

Love this place and come multiple times a week! Matcha latte is one of the best I’ve had in New York and love that they offer gluten free pastries. Owner is always friendly along with most staff!

Zach Fox

Great food. They have many gluten free options! Quick, friendly service when dining in. I attached a picture of what happens at the takeout window on busy nights. It's impossible to know what to do among the other hungry people and delivery drivers trying to pick up their orders. And this is after waiting the "65-75 minutes" quoted on their site during checkout! There must be a better way... 😩

Grilled chicken and chimichurri sauce were great. Everything was flavorful, the spicy things were actually spicy, and nothing was soggy. Not to mention the price - $10 lunch special really hit the spot after an appointment downtown. Everything is gluten-free besides the tortillas (and I avoided the chips too because those can be sketchy). They were helpful when I asked about GF options and already change gloves between orders without being asked.

Emily Giel

I have celiac, and according to the person all but one arepa on the menu is gluten free. He didn’t seem super confident so I was a bit nervous, but I didn’t get sick! I would love if they labeled allergens/gluten free items on the menu to help diners with allergies feel more confident eating there (and to attract more gluten free customers!) I got a steak and cheese arepa and it was delicious and one was super filling! Great to have a solid gluten free option in DeKalb Market.

Megan Adamson-Jackes

If you're parched and/or anywhere remotely near dumbo, get yourself to Randolph. The food is really good and they have great vegan options (cauliflower wings with vegan ranch! 🤯), but your burger-loving friends will be happy too (i.e. good for a mixed crowd). Veg and gluten free stuff is all marked on the menu (can every place do that?). The bartenders and servers are also super nice--none of that frantic and agro Manhattan bar scene energy, even on the weekends. Bonus: shuffleboard table!

Hilary H Brown

Amazing food! Was able to accommodate my gluten allergy

Kaitlyn Arsenault

Amazing food, gluten free options were incredible!! Our server Nick made the experience so much better. 100% ask for Nick as a server

Kate Bosek

Wow. This spot has the MEAL you are looking for. I am gluten free and I can still dine like a queen. My food-loving friends who can have all the pierogis swear by this place, we go all the time, and crave it when we can’t physically get there. Cannot wait for more locations to open up! GO.

Amie Krueger

The sauce and seasoning on OUR CHOICE is GLUTEN FREE GOODNESS! The fish was good, however, a little fatty. Not sure what type of fish they used … maybe tilapia (which I’m not fond of). If they used COD, holy cow I’d go back once a week! The slaw, rice and beans and fish GREAT FLAVOR. Totally on point, could just def go for a diff type of fish.

Soooo, before I begin, the 3 for atmosphere is because it is a strictly a take out spot, unless you are good to stand to eat. There are seats across the street provided by the Downtown Brooklyn Alliance, thank you! It is clean and well worth the wait for a less expensive cheat day! I had the double cheeseburger, it was filling and drippy good! The flavor is nostalgic for me, reminding me of teen dates when your boy friend wanted to impress you and buy your meal, ladies! Lol Also, a gluten free option is available for sure at the 91 East 7th Street location as Loaded Fries. They have a dedicated fryer, not positive at other locations, but my Celiac daughter has eaten at other locations including this one and have not had any issue. Enjoy!
