Went to The Little Nel for breakfast while on holidays a few weekends ago. I have not stopped thinking about the açai bowl I had 😍 The banana smoothie was also divine! So many gluten free options which was amazing for my family as we are all gluten intolerant. My sister was also able to order food that was both gluten free AND vegan! Thank you for catering to all us people with allergies and intolerances! 🙏🏼 Will definitely stop in again if I find myself up that way 🙌🏼

The staff appeared disinterested and rude when we ordered. I am coeliac and paid extra for bread, which is normal, but I was only given one slice of bread for the chilli scrambled eggs, which I wouldn’t expect to pay almost $30 for. The eggs were overcooked and did not taste good. My friends were disappointed by the other meals ordered. The kids meal didn’t even appear to be made in store, and was tiny. Highly disappointing. We were happy to leave and will not be returning.

What an amazing find in Nelson Bay! Food is wonderful (very authentic North Indian cuisine, like a home cooked meal), staff are friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about coeliac disease. The menu is nearly entirely gluten free which is pretty rare. Would definitely come back here.

Amazing food but unfortunately this place was very quiet when other places were really busy. I am so glad we came here to help support such a lovely restaurant. Only tip is to serve cocktails in correct glasses (Bellini in champagne flute, margaritas don't go in Martini glasses etc) but otherwise this place deserves to be busy. Will happily come back. Also, PLENTY of gluten free options which is incredibly rare for Italian restaurants in general.

Great surprising find for us as regular Nelson bay foodies. Great entrees (loved the chilli lime oysters) mains (gamberi prawn pasta, butter chicken and gluten free pizza option…prawn coconut curry all recommend), coffees (best soy late had in Nelson bay) and desert all yum. Topped off by great service. We will be back with others…

Lovely views, but that’s about it. Parking up near the restaurant can be tricky (very few spaces and not much room to reverse). Food was fresh but bland eg eggs benedict had no herbs or spices, not even salted enough and poached eggs were cooked through. Good coffee. Gluten-free option is basic commercial sliced white bread.

A beautiful lunch today. The food was delicious but very limited for vegetarian options that are gluten free. And quite expensive but it was delicious.

Absolutely outstanding with their customer service and their staff. Nothing was a problem at all. Coffee was on point (I'm particular 🤣) the food and atmosphere were fantastic. I'm gluten intolerant and there was no hesitation in accommodating my dietary requirements.

We have travelled to Hawaii several times and I thought that it was the best Thai Food ever! This was comparable to that!!! We loved the spring rolls, the cashew chicken stir fry, and the fresh fish with ginger. The fish was local, very fresh and cooked perfectly. My husband is also gluten-free and they were very happy to accommodate.! Honestly I would love to try everything on the menu. It was so good. We are from Canada and I will have dreams about our dinner there. Wish we had another night to try the duck! I hear it’s amazing!!!!!
