The food was delivered quickly and arrived hot. Great communication from my delivery driver. I loved the variety of options especially given that many were gluten-free. I ordered the pumpkin curry and the eggplant. Both were delicious!
That's a place designed for nerds I had absolutely no problem being able to order a meal with gluten-free dietary restrictions and also non-alcoholic cocktails. We had a blast picking out board games and this place was delightful! Cannot wait to go back!
We recently realized that we hadn't tried any Indian food since moving to VA, so we decided to give Rangoli in Manassas a try. It was a fantastic experience! They had a wide variety of gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options, which were clearly labeled. We started with a delicious fried spinach salad with chutneys and a mulligatawny soup that was so good we finished it quickly. For our main dishes, we had the goat masala, butter chicken, and garlic naan, all of which were delicious. We will definitely be returning!
I did not leave a single crumb on the plate. If I was in the area, I would surely have gone back the next day to eat the same dish.
Today, I decided to explore the flavors from the East Africa by trying Ethiopian cuisine. The African continent is home to more than 50 countries, each with its own unique dishes. Having tried cuisines from various African countries, I was looking forward to comparing this cuisine with what I have had previously in other restaurants.
The waitress at Vera's Kitchen was very pleasant and able to explain the items on the menu when we ordered.
I choose to eat Beyaynetu, a vegetarian dish served with injera bread, a spongy injera flat bread made from highly nutritious gluten-free teff flour. I loved the complex and rich flavors of the five items on top of the injera bread. Pieces of the bread are normally torn off and used to grab the lentils and vegetables on top, although using a fork is also an option. And like I said-not a crumb was left on the plate. I finished the meal off with fine Ethiopian coffee that arrived in the traditional vessel.
If there is anything that could be improved, possibly the restaurant's decor but I went there for the food. When the food is this excellent, ambiance is just a bonus.
Our family had brunch at The Black Sheep today. Everything was delicious. Top notch service, attention to detail, friendly staff, etc. My only complaint is that for a restaurant at this level and per person price why don’t they have a non dairy alternative for coffee (almond milk, oat milk, etc.)? Also there were no gluten free dessert offerings. With all the food allergies and sensitivities out there these days you’d think a restaurant like this would be more open to accommodating everyone. It’s really not that difficult to provide a few more options. Also, what is with the Tabasco Sauce? Why not “tap” (brewery pun intended) into some good ole Virginia local hot sauce? I mean come on, you can do better than that!
If you're looking for fun, different cocktails, you will love Monza. The outdoor seating gives great ambiance. The street that runs passed the outdoor seating gets shut down for pedestrian traffic only in the evenings.
I appreciate their gluten free options:
Pizza
Flatbread
Pasta
Buffalo Chicken Dip
our server was so nice & helpful w/food suggestions.
ordered the gluten friendly pancakes... OMG 😱 gf pancakes!! they were so fluffy & tasted like vanilla!! will SO be going back! 👍👍
Lovely small restaurant, located in Hoadly Rd. They have a couple small tables to dine in but they are a great option for takeout. The portions are very generous and they offer many gluten free options including a dedicated frier for the empanadas which are gluten free and delicious.
The food was very good. The service was good, and kids eat free on Wednesday’s and it’s a relaxed place that’s nice for teaching young kids restaurant etiquette. they have gluten free options that taste delicious…the gluten free pancakes are super.
I got the shrimp and grits, husband got the crawfish po boy. Both were excellent. We both got grenades for the full nawlins experience, they were great. Music was fantastic, staff were lovely. The place is small but it comes off as intimate, not oppressive. Gluten Free options on the menu. I've been excited to come here since I heard about it and it was honestly one of the best dining experiences I've had in this area. I joked to my husband that I felt like I was the host of a travel food show, that's the kind of place this is. Dedicated service and phenomenal food you can taste the passion in.
I brought my entire family here for Thanksgiving, and I'd like to give a big shoutout to the cashier up front that day, Jair. Despite our large order for my entire family of seven persons. He was extremely friendly and patient with us. He provided us numerous ideas for my aunt, who is gluten-free and was unsure what to order. He went above and beyond his obligations as a Cashier, informing me that I had awards on my app that I was unaware of. If Jair is reading this, thank you for all of your hard work young lad.........
A perfect atmosphere for a local feel breakfast spot!! Just what I'd expect. Streams of folks coming in. Most tables turned over twice while I sat having a leisurely breakfast. The omelet was delicious!! I'll be back 😊
I said "I'll be back" and yes!! the the next morning I was and with all the people that stream in there I was so impressed that they remembered what I ordered the day before and that I needed it gluten-free!! 😊 ... this was a Saturday morning and so busy!! with happy breakfast dinners. They had to organize a short wait list and did this efficiently and fairly. Impressive!
