I had the build your own pasta bowl with gluten free pasta,marinara sauce , turkey meatballs which were big and the focaccia bread and the cheese cake with raspberry sauce. My mom had the gluten free pasta and the Alfredo sauce with chicken. It was absolutely delicious and the best gluten free I've had.I highly recommend this restaurant. The have many options for people who have food allergies, are vegan or vegetarian and options if you don't have food allergies. The atmosphere is relaxing.

Absolutely worth the expense and experience! I come here to treat myself. I sit alone at the bar. I LOVE having a server anticipate my needs. The woman working the bar 10/10/24 did this beautifully. There were points during my time there, where I made soft eye contact and she knew what I needed, even when making drinks and serving other people! Impeccable service! The food is phenomenal! I ordered Brussel sprouts, butternut squash soup and a dragon fruit Arnold Palmer. This was my lunch yesterday, and I’m salivating thinking about it. If you like high quality thought out food this is great a place to be mindful about eating. The flavor combinations are spot on. I’ve ordered the spaghetti squash casserole, and gluten free pita bread, both delicious.

We have been here many times now, each time the food tastes as good as it looks, which is mouth watering! The staff works very hard and efficient even though they seem a tiny bit under staffed. They’ve always been upbeat, compassionate and professional. I love their gluten free and vegetarian options since that’s what my partner is restricted in eating. It’s refreshing to have food in a restaurant that cares about how healthy and customizable their food is. I’ve tried just about every bowl they are all incredible. The sweet potatoes are yummy! You can’t go wrong ordering anything here, safe part of the neighborhood and beautiful atmosphere sitting outside or in

Great food and service. They have gluten free options that can also be made dairy free.

Malee’s Thai is located in the heart of old town Scottsdale. The food is authentic and prices are reasonable. They can make many dishes vegan or gluten free and the portion sizes are generous. I have a decent bar with many options. I would highly recommend trying it!

Thomas Kirby

I had a very friendly and knowledgeable server. They were familiar with what was needed and did everything to ensure my safety. Food came out of quick and I enjoyed the yummy corned beef hash. I didn’t have any reactions after eating here. I’d recommend this snooze location to fellow celiacs.

Ella at Lings was pleasant with a wonderful smile. She listened to understand which is awesome because my wife suffers from celiac disease. It can be very difficult to order because unfortunately the gluten-free diet was treated as a fad/preference instead of a autoimmune disease. This is detrimental to the lifespan of a person with celiac even in small amounts. (Over time with constant exposure) As for the food, my wife and I would agree it is amazing. The food was fresh, crisp, and most of all flavorful. With the great wok taste and no burn. The manager even approached the table the different times to make sure everything was up to our likings. He was professional as well as personable and made feel at home. We couldn't have asked for a better first time experience. Thank you

Brandon was our server and he did AMAZING! It was a Saturday night though not very busy inside dining, yet the door dash and other deliveries are slamming the restaurant and it felt like he was virtually running the whole front of the restaurant by himself, making drinks for people, serving us very well, and assuring my girlfriend with her gluten free and vegetarian options as well as ensuring I was able to customize my order which tasted beyond what I’ve eaten before. I’ve had a lot of carne asada but their burrito customized with the carne asada is immaculate! We love the area and we can’t pass on such incredible service from Brandon and the quality of the food! Great atmosphere and gluten free / vegetarian options!

This place is super cute, comfortable, and clean. The foods presentation is top, and the food itself tasted amazing as well. They have great options for lunch, reducing the bill to a very small amount. My girlfriend ate gluten free and vegan only and I had a chicken meal, all together with chips and salsa which was offered the second we sat down as a gesture, total was 35 for the both of us. That’s a great price for such a high quality in service, atmosphere, and food selection! We will definitely be back here, thank you!

IMO the best thing on their menu is the bruschetta board and I was so excited when I found out that they have a gluten free bread substitute for it. I’m not sure what kind of gf bread they use but it’s incredible, it actually sticks together and doesn’t crumble apart! It’s so good that my non-gf friends will split an order with me cause they say they can’t really taste a difference.

I ordered a gluten-free pizza. I wish more care had been taken to add the toppings evenly.

Christine Broselle

This server Ryan is an absolute 10/10! The performance is lightning-fast, with minimal flaws and seamless functionality. The atmosphere is family friendly, and the reliability is unmatched—no crashes or downtime. I am also gluten free and have a peanut and Ryan was very tending to those needs and made lunch go smoothly! Highly recommended!

Alix Naber

Delicious food and amazing gluten free/ vegan options! The mocktails were fantastic also! Would absolutely come back.

Julianna Wallace

I’ve come here a handful times as a local student. I absolutely love it and always jump at the opportunity of sharing it with my friends or family when in town. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is so warm and efficient! My best friend has celiac and the couple of times we’ve gone together, they’ve provided really special care for her safety. The location itself has the perfect brunch atmosphere that’s tucked away and the local/ small-town lunch atmosphere that’s near Old Town Scottsdale.

Bobby Olander

One of the good gluten-free italian options around us. It's a little pricy, but for my wife to be able to eat her favorite foods again... it's worth it.

John Halpern

I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods. After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one. We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.) Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens. She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill. Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.

Noah was amazing! It was a busy Friday night and he was so prompt and so nice. The bruschetta board was amazing as well as the cocktails. Would recommend sitting in his section. I have dairy and gluten allergies and made sure my food was safe and gave me yummy substitutions.

Mallory Bernard

Incredible food with friendly and attentive service! Plenty of gluten free options and knowledgeable staff.

Isaac Korff

Great food!! I wish the had more Gluten free options but I know it’s hard and it always tastes horrible so this place gets it!! Lol. Regardless this place puts food before people have some decency 😂

Delicious, consistent, great for my vegan and gluten free bestie :^)

I have celiac. We discussed the issue extensively with the server who assured me I was in a good spot and all would be fine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. They messed up the order and brought out a wonton taco plated with the corn taco and the server advised the entire plate was gluten free. Only after eating the wonton did I discover the issue. The server apologized and contacted a manager. That’s where things took a bad turn. The manager, a very young blonde female, who clearly couldn’t be bothered with severe food allergies, came out, referred to the situation as a “small issue”, proceeded to blame me, and then offered three separate excuses for why this happened. Setting aside that each excuse was unsatisfactory, it was abundantly clear neither she, or the restaurant, took food allergies seriously. My valentines date/dinner was entirely ruined, not to mention a very expensive trip to Arizona, for which I am only on day 1 and will inevitably spend the rest of the trip in the hotel bathroom. Despite being celiac, I’m a foodie and eat in some of the best restaurants across the country. This may be some of the worst service, and particularly management, I’ve ever seen.

Lindsay Walsh

Tons of gluten free options. Will also give sliced cucumbers in addition to the pita bread served at the table. The whole restaurant is filled with unbelievably delicious spices. Is very authentic in atmosphere and food. Went with a Persian friend who commented that everything reminded her of her Grandmother’s cooking. Will for sure be back. Always order the Mast-o-musir, it is the Persian “ranch” especially for the rice. It is the best sauce you will ever taste.

This place BLEW MY MIND! Great staff to help if you have allergies and they are just friendly and so customer service focused! The gluten free bun was unreal! My husband had to ask if there was a kitchen mistake because it was that good! Needed 6 napkins to eat my burger. The fries are also so delicious! The only thing that I’m peeved about is that I now dream about this food and I will now drive 40min to have it! Great to meet you all and I’ll be back!

30 minute line out the door at 8pm. Good ice cream, but super overpriced. I love the birthday cake it’s actually gluten free.

We had a great experience here across the board. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate a vegan/gluten free diet. The vegan/gluten free dishes were the mushroom dish, cauliflower steak, and squash. The second two dishes required slight modifications to make vegan. The mushroom dish was unique and we ended up getting two because it was so tasty. The shrimp tartine dish was 10/10 as well. They were on top of the service and our primary waiter, Ricky, was incredible. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Highly recommend dining here!

Visited AZ & was in search of clean, delicious food! They don’t use any seed oils, soy, dairy, or gluten in their products, and their staff is the kindest. They can answer any questions about their products and offer other local food recommendations. I went there three times during my visit because I knew what I was getting was clean and delicious!!

I stopped by Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade in Scottsdale and had an amazing experience! The smoothie I tried was bursting with fresh, tropical flavors—absolutely delicious and perfectly refreshing. The allergy-friendly, vegan, and gluten-free options, including their homemade almond milk, really stood out. The vibrant, Aloha-inspired atmosphere made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a healthy, tasty treat!

The best FroYo with vegan and gluten free options & they’re open late!

Many gluten free options, I got the chicken spicy wrap. The server was so nice and told me that they are not a dedicated gluten free and cross contamination might occur. It was really good. I have celiac and my stomach didn't bloat .
