Top 13 Gluten-Free Vegan Spots to Delight in South Village, New York

The entire place is gluten free so it’s completely safe. You can have gluten favorites that actually taste like they were not gluten free! You have to try the ice cream, it’s the best I’ve ever had.

Dedicated gluten free but I would never be able to tell if I didn’t know. Everything was delicious and celiac safe. They also have dairy free options.

I loved dining here. The food is fresh and delicious. The use of real wasabi is perfect in the rolls. They are the best hand rolls I’ve had so far. Entire menu is gluten free. They offer a gluten free beer! Service was wonderful. Love the ambiance inside, and they offer a little patio area first come first serve. Definitely try to make a reservation!

Loved this place! Great service. I have several food allergies, and they took the time to go over the menu with me to make sure everything I ordered was safe. They also sell fresh baguettes and frozen gluten-free breads to take home, which is a huge plus. Highly recommend!

I’ve loved Springbone since it opened, and it’s exciting to have so many shops now. As someone with Celiac, having healthy gluten free food is such a gift. I’m so grateful!

The fries were very good, safe for gluten free because they only make fries. We didn't like the ambience that much because the interior is very dark.

Pizza was great, Gluten Free crust was fantastic. Hot, cheesy and a bit greasy, exactly what we were looking for. Picture is of the gluten free crust.

Since reading a few weeks ago that Mexican food is the most serotonin-boosting cuisine in the world, I've been craving a good Mexican meal. I had friends visiting from Iceland, where there really isn't such a thing as decent Mexican food. We used to go to a Tex-Mex spot that’s gone now, and never really found a replacement. I'm vegan. My friends are not. I asked some friends, "Where can my friend get a good frozen margarita and Mexican food?" There were 2 or 3 popular choices. You know which ones. Then I looked at their menus. My boyfriend, trying to be helpful, was like, "Well this one place has like a salad, if you get it without the chicken. Or they have this grilled mushroom dish. (Blegch... mushrooms? Ew!)" I thought -- I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I am NOT having some consolation meal. I want to eat what I love! I checked my usual Vegan NYC groups on Facebook for recommendations, but I knew my friends weren't in the mood to spend $30–40 for an entrée. Then my boyfriend just googled... and said, "How about JaJaJa???" Don't laugh... Whenever I saw that place on DoorDash, I actually thought it was like some virtual kitchen. So I've never even ordered from them. You guys! JaJaJa is a REAL restaurant where you can dine in — or even sit outdoors on their patio — or skip the meal and head downstairs to the bar/lounge for drinks! Okay so first, the atmosphere. We visited on May 3rd, and they basically filled the entire restaurant with helium balloons for Cinco de Mayo. From the festive atmosphere, I was like, "Oh, this place looks like a good time!" They have a FULL bar. So whatever you want, they've got it. And they have mocktails! I don't drink. Honestly, I don’t often order mocktails, but I LOVE when I see them on the menu because it makes me think, "Awwwww! Someone thought about me!" I ordered the Enchiladas Mole. I thought I really wanted the Enchiladas Suizas (because it was carne, not pollo) but the waiter mentioned they were spicy, whereas the Mole was not. I should say, the first bite was like, "Ooh, this is spicy! I don’t know if I can handle this..." but it wasn't too spicy. It was the kind of spicy that's just warm in the mouth. I got used to it by the second bite. I used to tolerate spicy food. Now, mayonnaise is too spicy for me! One helpful critique I could offer – while the menu is pretty good about identifying allergens (gluten and nuts), there is nothing to indicate whether a dish is spicy, nor how spicy. If they had, for example, a 3-chili-peppers rating, I'd have given the tap water 0 chili peppers, the Enchiladas Mole 1 chili pepper, and my friend said the Suizas was probably a 2 or 3. That would be super helpful on the menu. But everything was absolutely delicious and obviously cooked by someone who was very intentional about, "We know what kind of familiar, hedonistic experience people are coming here for, and we're gonna deliver on that!" I didn't tell my friends in advance that the place was vegan. At first my friend asked, "I don't see chicken anywhere on the menu," and I pointed out that pollo is Spanish for chicken. And yes, I told her, it was vegan. She was fine with that. I need pictures! I can't usually imagine from a text-only description what my meal is going to look like. So remember: their website had photos of every single menu item! This helped me find more things I want to try next time. They just found it delicious! I will give ONE more critique... just cuz I'm like SEARCHING for things I think they could improve on... I wanted to put my arm around my boyfriend, but the textiles lining the back of the booths are sort of a scratchy, area-rug kind of material. I kept trying to put my arm around him, but it was like, "Ouch... not happening." I say this because I can't think of anything else to critique, and I don't wanna sound like I'm just blowing smoke. This is my new go-to place, and it's nowhere near my apartment! I have a burrito place 2 avenues away that delivers, and they have vegan options, but forget it. From now on, it's JaJaJa or nothing.

It’s a nice place offering Jain, vegan , gluten free options. Gobi Manchurian, Onion Pakoda were amazing! We also had gunpowder Mysore dosa Jain and Masala Gunpowder dosa both were great too.. the only thing which was kinda okay wad medu vada, the taste was good but it was kinda hard, maybe it was just a bad batch. But everything else was just amazing. Definitely recommend it and would love to visit again
