The interior could use a little updating - but the food was delicious. Got the bang bang gluten free pizza, pepperoni gluten free and a plain cheese pizza (non gluten free). All was delicious and the employees were friendly.

I had to double check two different times to make sure this was actually gluten free… genius! Thank you!

GLUTEN WATCH: this food was very tasty but beware of cross contamination for items labeled gluten free. I ordered items that were labeled GF and was glutened. That being said, great service and the food was tasty!

First time at this location but not first time at the franchise. Atmosphere and general service: We had to wait a minute or two for the hostess to come talk to us and seat us (it was a Sunday afternoon and we were the only ones standing at the door so it wasn’t busy). After seating, we waited about 10-15 minutes to get water or any type of service. We flagged down two servers and the manager in the process. The menu for that specific time (brunch) had multiple items marked as unavailable for weekend brunch, which made no sense…why put it on if it’s not available? Or at least, write it in something else other than 8.5 font. The restaurant was at less than 50% capacity but food took almost 30 mins. We came in at 2:20, they took our order at around 2:35, food came out at 3:01 (two basic entrees and an app). Food runner was fake-nice and passive-aggressive…uncalled for. Server (after assignment) was really nice. He did his best, all things considered. Manager tried to help as well, which was nice. Food: App: we got crispy Brussels sports. Perfect amount of sweet and savory, pretty on point. Would absolutely get it again. Entree #1: vegan chicken sandwich. Was meh. The soy protein had good texture and consistency but it was lacking flavor. Even dipping it in ketchup and dowsing it in hot sauce couldn’t rescue it. Entree #2: Lamb burger with gluten free bread. Meat was pretty good, well seasoned. But bread was cold. Not warm, just cold. Fries with entrees: cooked perfectly but again, they lack flavor (but ketchup and bbq sauce rescued them…thank god). I will not come back to this location and I’ll think twice before going back to another location. But I just might door dash them Brussels sprouts.

I’m not usually a huge fan of Greek food (I mean, it’s fine, just not my favorite). When I saw this place makes homemade gluten free pita, I just HAD to try it and I am SO glad I did!! Not only the only gluten free fresh pita I’ve ever had, it was delicious. Everything g my husband and I ordered looked, smelled, and tasted fabulous. Will absolutely eat here again. I’ve you’re not overly familiar with Greek food and want to give it a try, start here! You won’t be disappointed.

Great service. Michelle was very nice and helpful. Food was great will many gluten free options.

Crunchy-ish Mama

Beautiful, and the food was delicious. I loved the look and the to go packaging was precious. So glad to have gluten free options as well.

We visit yesterday and there were a lot of “grilled” GF options. I asked the waitress if the kitchen had dedicated grill space for their GF items. They let me know they did not have a dedicated space. They said they toast the bread on the grill but that it was okay because it was super hot. May work for someone who is gluten intolerant but definitely not for celiac. They also do NOT have a dedicated fryer for their fries.

One of the best combinations of high quality food, service and atmosphere in DC. They were accommodating for gluten free restrictions.

Decent, nothing life changing but they had gluten free options!

Sarah Gonzalez

Excellent choices of different types of pizza!! Even offers a gluten free crust option!

Vera Cardinale

One of my favorite restaurants! They have incredible options for gluten and dairy-free diners. Veggies instead of bread for dips, homemade almond yogurt to replace any yogurt in entrees. We had the mini tasting menu and there were very few adjustments needed. Absolutely delicious, especially the squash side, the lamb chops, the chicken in yogurt-based sauce, the rice with carrots and raisins, and tasty cocktails. Warm, cozy ambiance with a frequent sitar player.

Great atmosphere and amazing service! Cool place to sit down and get some homework done. I was lucky enough to find a seat right away, but it was crowded- the place seems very popular! I got an iced oat milk latte with lavender and it was very good! I also got a gluten-free chocolate muffin, but it was honestly pretty dry, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Great experience, loved the floral themed decor. Great coffee, good gluten free options

Brian Tuttle

I tasted the worst cheeseburger I’ve had in my entire life at the US Capitol. The patty was overcooked and tasted like cardboard. The salad bar was fresh and tasty, though they were out of several dressings. There are many delicious-looking desserts, but the only gluten-free option was a white chocolate modem of the Capitol dome, which was not very good.

Sadie Fischesser

We had a great meal here! There were lots of clearly marked vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options, which was important for our group. Everyone thought their meal was tasty and left satisfied. My only slight disappointment was that the drinks were from a can, but still tasted good!

⚠️gluten free EAT OR ORDER WITH CAUTION⚠️So , you’ll WERE my go to place on doordash I even came in to dine with my ex once. I ordered thru uber yesterday the meat wasn’t as tender. Lentils were firm and not cooked thru and potato’s didn’t have the flavor I’ve always loved. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ I found out y’all mfs never gave me gluten free injera any other time I’ve ordered I got hospitalized 2 years ago and around that time was eating yall heavy . On door dash yall lazy mfs made no option so I always put it in the special instructions. On uber last night I put it in the instructions and decided to buy extra. That’s when I noticed the gluten free injera from yall is a coffee brown. Cause my food was wrapped in regular injera even after leaving a note . DO YOU UNDERSTAND YALL COULDVE KILLED ME. IF IN THE SPECIAL instructions they say gluten free injera and you don’t wanna take a loss or get sued HOW ABOUT FIXING YOUR ONLINE MENU MESS. I only review places I have an issue with and this is a serious one . I’m unfortunately going to have to make some phone calls cause I can’t imagine I’m the only one going thru this and this is insane. Y’all have been giving me my allergy everytime I’ve ordered shame on y’all.

This place is a must!!! Great options for gluten free! They also have vegan chili and turkey burgers. Ben's is iconic!!! Do not skip!

Axel Persinger

Really good gelato, staff had an infectiously happy mood, and explained to me how they were safe for gluten free! Will always come back here!

Kim Rodela

This is absolutely my favorite to eat. The manager here is amazing and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted in my bowl. All the staff was personable and friendly. They even helped my friend that had gluten issues. 100% would recommend

Alex Nongard

Excellent vegan and gluten free options. Super delicious and worth the extremely long wait.

Danielle Bennett

Asian dishes are sometimes hard to get gluten free but Beau Thai in Mount Pleasant had so many options! I was able to enjoy pad thai, tom kha soup, and parang curry. The real reason they earn these 5 stars is for the panang... this isn't a wimpy, runny curry but thick sauce with full flavor and depth. The pad thai was also peanut-y sweet which was perfect ti share with the kids. Would definitely eat here again.

Clinton Canady IV

Food, service, and ambiance were great! The starters -- grilled halloumi cheese bites and the cucumber-tomato-onion salad both came out lightning quick! The meats also arrived impressively fast! All the food was delicious and the off-menu fig-infused bourbon old fashioneds were sublime. Plenty of Gluten free options, vegetarian and vegan options 10/10 will be return for another meal!

The vibe was so warm and friendly, and the food absolutely delicious. I wasn’t very hungry and I avoid gluten which is usually a chore to navigate at restaurants. But the restaurant owner recommended the Samosa Chana Chaat which was DIVINE. Perfect flavors, portions, This spot is nowhere close to home but I’m already plotting my return.

Jenne Acevedo

Good GF chicken pad Thai with some gluten free options on the menu. A few GF appetizers and entrees. While I liked my meal, it had a fishy taste to it, which I found odd, but not at all bad. The regular pad Thai on the menu is with shrimp, so I wondered if that might be why. This little place is next to CityCenter. Great location.

Good Gluten free options

Lovely experience at Maydan! I’ve eaten here twice now and did a choose your own the first time and the prepared Tawle meal the second time. Enjoyed both immensely! The service is wonderful and was very accommodating of a gluten allergy. The food is amazing but you will go home with leftovers!!! Cannot recommend enough for a fancy date or celebratory dinner.

Joia Burgers on Wisconsin Ave (DC) serves a tasty smashed burger on a fluffy potato bun with melty American cheese. The Joia Toppings were fresh and flavorful, but the Papaya Salad topping didn’t sit well with me 🤢. They offer gluten-free buns for $0.50. The burger was solid, but a bit overpriced for what it is. The Ube soft serve was fun but lacked enough magnolia vanilla flavor for that rich, creamy texture. Ambience was quiet for a Friday, but the customer service was outstanding—friendly and attentive!

Bri and the general manager sere so attentive and kind. Compliments to the chef as the food was amazing. We were there for the bottomless food and drink and it was well worth the price. I have been to several michelin star restaurants and this experience was comparable. I am gluten free and there are multiple options available. They also keep a sharp eye on things to make sure you don’t accidentally eat your friend’s portion and get sick.

Carlos Paz

Starting with the fact that I’m a gluten free person and while I been at several uncountable number of pizza places in the United States, this is still the best gluten free pizza I ever tried in more than a decade, and all and every single staff member are amazing.

First time eating Ethiopian food, very yummy, gluten free injera available

Love this local spot! Great food, great drinks, the service and community here is fab. A perfect place to connect with your people during or after a long week. Also their breakfast tacos are the best in the city. :) I’m gluten free and it’s always super easy on that front too. Recommend!
