Nice place all around with friendly employees. Food was very good. Got gluten free ravioli, turkey bacon sub and strawberry cheesecake. It was all tasty. Appreciated sitting in the sunroom area..very nice!
Gypsy Queen has been a favorite for a long time. They are great with allergies, and their gluten free Pita is amazing (which is rare to find). The chicken shawarma is my go-to!
Went in for dinner tonight and got a table for 3 after maybe a 10 min wait, which was amazing. The host was super friendly and got us situated.
Our server (Asil) greeted us with waters and sold us on hibiscus teas, stating if we didn’t like them we could swap them out. We ordered pretty quickly after. We ordered cauliflower for an appetizer, falafel gyro (gluten free) with potatoes, lamb gyro (gluten free) with a side Greek salad, and a chicken kabob platter (no dietary restrictions). I expressed our gluten sensitivity to the server. She seemed to be understanding of what we needed. After that she never came back except to drop the dishes and I mean literally drop. Halfway off the table. No check back, no water refills, nothing. I realized upon trying my salad there were croutons, which I can’t have. We waited, waited and waited. The whole table finished everything (minus my salad) and still no sign of our server. It wasn’t until another server overheard me say “I guess our server forgot us?” that anyone checked back at all. She took the salad and went to correct it. We sat there a while longer and then our server finally came over. I explained the salad issue. She said “yeah the salad has croutons” like I was supposed to know that even after a full discussion about me being gluten sensitive. She eventually came back with the salad…dropping it as if I was wrong for having an issue. It was almost confrontational. I’m not sure how else to describe it. Everyone else at the table had long since finished their meals so I asked for a box. She stormed back over with 4 boxes. “I brought different sizes because I don’t know what you need.” Over the treatment from the server, who literally didn’t provide service throughout the entire meal, I got up and brought her my card. I asked “have I offended you in some way?” A nearby server promptly quipped “no one’s offended we’re just really busy” to which our server said “yeah I was just really nervous because your salad was taking so long.” I responded stating she never checked on us once…
Long story short…the food was excellent…BEWARE if you have dietary restrictions though….the service however was so poor that at that price point we won’t be back.
We went here for my moms 70th birthday and holy smokes did it exceed all of my expectations. The service was incredible, attentive and sincere. Our server did an amazing job of staying on top of all our needs while also giving us space to enjoy and never making us feel rushed. We took almost all of his recommendations for food, from apps to mains and dessert and each one was spot on and delicious. I so appreciated that management came to our table to check in and how special they all made my mom feel. The food was out of control good with so many gluten free options for me that everyone enjoyed sharing. The vibe and atmosphere were perfect for a nice dinner, celebration or some romance. I can't believe I waited this long to go here even though it's in my neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my mom. I'm a customer for life now and I can't wait to go back.
Don’t trust any bad reviews, whoever gave them must have already been having a bad day. 🙄
Our first experience was great! The food was excellent and staff were great. The Greek salad dressing was super flavorful (you have to shake it or you will just get oil, duh)! The lamb was super tender and flavorful and the gluten free bread, seemed like “real” bread. Especially with the dressing drizzled on it!
⭐️ 10/10, do recommend! ⭐️

I love the “Make Your Own Bowl” concept but sadly CAVA does not pull it off. They could seriously take a lesson from Fresh Kitchen who operates 15 of these Keto-Friendly, Gluten Free MYOB restaurants in Florida. I don’t know who owns this franchise but they could certainly afford to hire employees who can at least communicate with the public. Very disappointing because Asheville seriously needs this kind of restaurant.
Wow! We only had breakfast there but my goodness was it good. The home fries, incredible, the gluten free bread was amazing and of course the egg dishes were on point. We ordered the any style eggs, the bec sandwich and it was delicious!
The food in Yalla is delicious! It is authentic, the real deal of Mediterranean food. I love the atmosphere, the music, and the people. It's a perfect spot to hang out with friends and enjoy amazing Hummus or any other dish on the menu. Highly recommended for everyone. Great for vegetarians and gluten-free people like me.

Curate is one of the better dining experiences we have had in Asheville. I took a friend there for her birthday and it was a most pleasant experience. The interior of the restaurant is expansive with several different rooms, yet it feels intimate. I was happy to notice that there were several tables for larger parties - after all, small plates are more fun when you share! We chose 3 different small plates and two large plates. The mushrooms and pork were our favorites but all food is carefully prepared and food is high quality. Wine list is on the pricy side. I am medically gluten free and there were several options that were available, and our server pointed out options that could also be made gluten free. For dessert we received a gorgeous custom made cake on a pedestal - it was small (about 3 inches in diameter) but was extremely rich and was ample for the two of us. Would definitely to return to sample different dishes! Tip - go early - it gets crowded quickly. When we left there was an hour wait. Reservations a must.
