Top 13 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens to Explore in Durham

Deb Ren

Great pizza and rice pudding! Also the staff was excellent. We meant to order a gluten free pizza and forgot until the pizza came out. When we let the staff know, they so kindly made our gluten free order; no fuss.

There are limited gluten-free options, but the other options were good!

Megan Montanez

Super cute place! Really good matcha and gluten free/vegan crepes!

Christina Marrazzo Cote

Great gluten free options

I have eaten at the location in brooklyn and this location did not disappoint! My fiancee is celiac so it is important that restaurants take the allergy seriously and prevent cross contamination, which they did ❤️ every pizza we have tried is delicious and the cheesy garlic breadsticks are phenomenal. We also love all of the cocktails. Our servers were attentive and the atmosphere was inviting

Great gluten free options. Our waitress Sisi was the best. She remembered our order and took care of all our requests promptly and correctly. She's always gone above and beyond our expectations.

Dine in | Dinner | $10–20 Food was fantastic. Nothing labeled Gluten-free on the menu, but the waiter told me exactly what was Gluten-free, what could be modified, and what was off limits. Small place, but very relaxed atmosphere. Had this at Dinner yesterday. Would definitely recommend and go back. However, I'm confused about the 93.0 (A) rating - maybe it was an off day when the inspector came? Because the food was delicious.

Great place to stop for a quick smoothie, juice or snack or work remotely from! I love the chocolate covered banana smoothie and their gluten free avocado toast! Lots of allergy friendly foods!

Norman Carter

Stale gluten buns fall apart when you touch it. Good burger otherwise

We love the buffet and the crew at Sitar! The flavors are always delicious and strong. The quality and freshness is consistent. We try to make it here monthly — at the very least. If you have any dietary restrictions the buffet has cards for items with details if it includes nuts, dairy, meat and gluten. The buffet offers salad, rice, main courses, fruit, soups, chutneys, naan and desserts. The service is first class! They make us feel so welcome every visit! It’s a wonderful experience — we recommend 10/10!!!

Absolutely fabulous experience! We were quickly seated (we had reservations as soon as they opened), service was prompt and pleasant, our meals were all perfectly accurate and delicious, and even parking was easy! For appetizers our group shared the hazelnut burrata and the giant meatballs with crispy bread. These were delicious and I would be happy to enjoy them by themselves as a meal! But I got the butter chicken "sostanza" style, which is lightly breaded and fried in a butter oil sauce and is unbelievably delicious! Others in our group got the linguine a la carbonara, and the blue cheese alfredo tagliatelle. Everyone commented that these were some of the best dishes they've ever enjoyed! We had to look up a lot of the menu's Italian terminology online, but everyone was very pleased with their meals. We also enjoyed a range of creative cocktails, from the delish "Santa's 52-Week Vacation" with charred rosemary, to the "Captain Pek Pek's Business Class Flight" cocktail complete with attached paper airplane with the recipe printed on it! Loved these! There was also a nice array of desserts, and we enjoyed everything from affogato, gelatos, bread pudding, to tiramisu! The atmosphere is simple and streamlined, but it doesn't feel unwelcoming. The staff are all helpful, professional, and very familiar with the menu. They even had dietary restrictions labeled on the menu, so there are options for those that are vegan, gluten-free, etc. I appreciated that the pace of the meal was leisurely (true to a traditional Italian meal) and at no point did our group feel rushed. Every element of the meal was fabulous from start to finish, was served hot, and was presented beautifully! Thank you for a fantastic first experience, we will all definitely be back!

Vegeterian, vegan, gluten-free, and carnivorous options. Alcohol and alcohol-free drinks, with wines, cocktails, and beers to choose from. Kid's menu AND, ice-cream cake. Cozy area with books to read or buy, or both; a free podcast studio - how cool is that? 😎 Oh, and with a $2 donation, you can get yourself polaroided and immortalize yourself in the wall above the bar.

Food : They have a few vegan options and at least one naturally gluten-free option. Their coffee was really good. I had a red velvet latte with oat milk. The hash browns I got (and reason I gave them 4 stars) were greasy and a bit undercooked on the inside. Atmosphere: It is cute and comfy inside. My friend and I were able to hear each other talk with no trouble. The music was just loud enough to be distracting, maybe because I liked the music. I can see this place being a good place to go and work and just to hang out with friends.

Came in today for lunch, the lass behind the counter made eye contact and turned around to continue prepping something. We were the only people in line to order. Her coworker nudged her so we could order, she persisted doing something (he wasn't doing anything and said he couldn't help us) and then took several minutes to turn around and engage us. We waited for 10 minutes. I asked a basic question about the WF (wheat free) tags being different than what they show online (which is GF Gluten Free, and not the same thing, I'm Celiac) and she just kept saying I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what that is. It was awful. It was disheartening and I was embarrassed, we turned around and left.

I recently came to Madhatter’s for brunch, and I loved the diversity of the menu. They have breakfast all day which is a plus! I tried the wasabi salmon bowl, with an iced Vietnamese coffee. I have zero complaints, they’ve got me hooked on the coffee now. I’ve also ordered cakes for my family member’s birthdays and they are pretty delicious. The tiramisu is a must (but then again I am biased because I love coffee). They have gluten free and vegan options for savory items and sweet items which is a must. Staff is always super friendly!

What a gem of a restaurant. My sister got gluten free+mild, I got regular Udon+Thai hot. Flavor, heat, service all absolutely fantastic. Restaurant is clean. Highly recommend.

Bruce Knudsen

Lied to me when I complained about slow service. Said food was on the grill but grill was empty. Catered to gluten free order after us.
