Amazing experience. Extremely kind staff. So welcoming, friendly and go over the top for us! Gave me free dessert and a candle for my birthday. All the food was incredible and for someone who is gluten free , it was a dream! Thank you Samba we will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone we know! And a beautifully decorated place as well.
Both my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the meatball appetizer and our pizzas. He ordered the 9-inch Detroit style gluten-free pizza, and I ordered the Meatball Ricotta Pizza. The food was fresh, delectable, and perfectly seasoned. The staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere was dark, modern, and sophisticated. We were seated right in front of the counter, which allowed us the opportunity to speak with the owner, who was absolutely delightful and gave us the history of the restaurant and himself.
Everything was 100% gluten free even the fries. Burger was juicy and tender and sweet potato fries were done to perfection. Thank you for a great meal!
I love everything about this place. Coffee is delicious every time. Pastries have good variety, have gluten free options, and are delicious! I understand they need to have days off so no judgement there. But Mondays and Tuesdays are my most free days and they are closed those days :(
Steer clear.
An overall unpleasant experience. They were out of several dishes, omitted components entirely (avocado on the salmon) or had made substitutions without letting us know - (ricotta (?) for creme fraiche on the bolognese, and most shocking: a corn tortilla for a gluten-free bun on a burger).
On the upside the service was suitable - our server did their best considering the circumstances and their own frustration with the restaurant's lack of detail and basic ingredients.
Hopefully management / ownership can right the ship - where its headed now is down, down, down...
We enjoy the dining experience at the Montclair House Grill. We were impressed by their friendly staff. Especially pleased to find Gluten Free items available
It can be challenging to find a restaurant that not only has amazing food, but also has amazing service. Laboratorio Kitchen exceeded all expectations on both counts for my bridal shower event. The food is absolutely delicious and they are wonderfully accommodating for food allergies. They accommodated for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and more. Highly recommend the mushrooms, salad, and risotto. Everyone attending the event loved the food! Thanks to James, Lauren, and the whole team. The staff was so kind and constantly checking in on guests to see if they needed anything. Also, the restaurant is beautiful and bright. Would definitely host another event here!
Lovely place with lovely food and lovely people. And they can substitute their breads with gluten free options. Had a lovely chicken sandwich. Oh and their turmeric latte is delish 💕
Super cute space, a tiny step up at the front door so I don't know how that would work for people in wheeled devices, but I was limping kinda hard when I came in and I was able to navigate it easily. Delicious food with gluten free and vegetarian options. Delicious gluten free desserts, and fantastic rotisserie chicken.
The iced vanilla decaf latte with oat milk was smooth and delightful. The impossible burger with gluten-free bread was average. Definitely needed a better plate presentation. The side salad dressing had too much vinegar.
Yummy small business with lots of flavor and choices! I had the bbq jackfruit sandwich which came with plantain chips and the most delicious coleslaw. I also had a vegan coconut cupcake. I am so happy with that lunch and will be back to try more. They had vegan, vegetarian gluten free and carnivore diet options.
My mom and I were looking for a quick place for lunch and happened upon Jalwa. We looked at the menu and peeked in: busy at lunch hour but an open table! VK Verma stepped out and warmly invited us in. What a great decision. I had the palak paneer lunch special and Mom had the chicken tandoori lunch special ($15 each). I also had the mango lassi--delicious and the right amount of sweetness. The portions are perfect, and all lunches come with a vegetable of the day, dal, basmati rice, roti or naan and dessert! The food was very fresh and tasty. Rasmalai for dessert on Tuesday and Kheer today. Yes, we have already been twice. I have found my favorite Indian restaurant in NJ! P.S. Very accommodating for Gluten Free Eaters. Celiacs and Gluten-Sensitive folks, rejoice! Very easy parking nearby.
Food was absolutely delicious! Will come here again with friends! They even have gluten free options for my fiancé! They have the most amazing BREAD as appetizers and the service here was nice, quick, and smooth! I would definitely come back to try other foods! Amazing atmosphere! All their cocktail drinks were delicious!
Ordered the Burrata Ravioli! Huge fan of pesto pasta! Only downside was the portion, it was on the smaller end, however the taste was absolutely amazing!
Initially planned on going to Toast for brunch and the wait was too long. Walked over to Uncle Momo Bistro and was pleasantly surprised. They combined tables to seat the 4 of us and served us right away. The eggs and milk are organic. The crepes are amazing and all gluten-free! Definitely was happy that I went to Uncle Momo’s instead!
The food was so delicious! My friend and I got this platter to share with hummus, shawarma, eggplant salad, and beets salad. They provided regular pita and gluten free laffa for my friend. Really delicious and nutritious!
Zeugma is such a lovely spot with delicious and incredibly fresh food! I came here with a group of four friends for brunch on a Saturday and while the place was busy, I didn't feel that it was overly loud or overwhelming. I would definitely recommend reservations during some of the peak times but it's a relatively large restaurant so I'm sure you'd be able to eventually get seated either way.
One of my friends is a vegetarian and gluten-free and she had no issues finding a bunch of options to choose from on the menu. I love that everything is clearly labeled if it is vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free which makes life a lot easier for people with dietary restrictions.
We started out with the mezze platter to share; you can choose any 3 mezzes. We opted for the Avogannush, Antakya Hummus, and Beet Heaven. For my main course, I got the Beet Falafel Wrap which comes with some delicious thin-sliced fries. It was extremely filling but not in a bad way; you won't feel overly stuffed after eating any of this food. I could tell that even the fries were made in a high-quality oil.
If you love clean, fresh ingredients and chill, trendy vibe, Zeugma is a must-try!
Outrageous crepes, gluten- free available also. Great soups & lattes . Nice weather outdoor seating. This is a very small place so I always get take out. Nice staff !
The breakfast burrito bowl was amazing, I ate it with such glee I forgot to take a picture. The bathroom is super clean there is very limited indoor seating I'm still not ready to do that but the outdoor seating is nice It's not in the street it's actually on a little sidewalk. and while the chairs aren't super comfortable for people with sciatic issues etc they're perfectly adequate for a meal. Raymond's is a New Jersey institution and I'm a big fan they're very accommodating and when it comes to my gluten and dairy issues and they're new turmeric lattes are super tasty.
My partner and I decided to try this new restaurant for a date and were pleasantly surprised. The service was great, our waiter assisted us with our reservation and was very kind and polite. The food was very good, and a few gluten free options were offered, you just have to ask your server and advise them of any dietary restrictions. We ordered muscles as an appetizer which were amazing. I also had the Tuscan chicken which was very good. For two Entrees and the one appetizer it was about $70, which is fair for this kind of restaurant. It is BYOB so if you’d like wine or a cocktail you will need to bring it yourself. It’s very nice inside the decor is very new and clean. We will definitely be coming back for another date night!
Was there last night to celebrate my 18th birthday. There was 8 of us, we came at 6:30 and were basically the only people in the restaurant and we left around 8-8:30. To start off: the food was great, especially the spinach dip though if you have a gluten intolerance you specifically have to ask for corn chips. We had a variety of food (Mac and cheese, empanadas, salads and burgers) and everyone agreed the Mac and cheese was the best. The staff and owner?/manager? Was super sweet, wanting feedback since we are a big younger than their typical demographic. This is something I really appreciated knowing that they are constantly looking at ways to improve their menu to better suite a wide range of people. Do not even get me started on the desserts they were AMAZING over 10/10 will come back also quick shout out to Dez our server who put up with 8 high school girls for 2 hours
Not sure if its because of covid or worker shortages but everything is self order and pay on a smartphone. You do not have a server to ask questions and only a runner brings you your food and drinks. This made it feel kinda like a fast food restaurant, think shake shack. I went with one other person who had questions about gluten free options and what was actually in the cocktails, but there was noone to ask. Not for us.
Thank you Mario for the best specialty pizza I’ve had since learning about my gluten allergy! Cauliflower crust was definitely the better choice and my leftovers even reheated great!!!
This place is super cute and has a delicious menu! I’m gluten free and dairy free and our server answered all of my questions about the food politely and even double checked something when he thought the chef misunderstood the question, saving me from getting sick!
I got the pollo a la brasa, my friend got the pork and both were delicious. My only complaint is that in my opinion the maduros weren’t ripe enough but I enjoyed this spot and will come again happily!
There’s lots of tables here and space for eating.
Excellent food. Had the,grilled flounder it was delicious. Service was great. Food came out quickly server was knowledgeable,was able to tell me what was gluten free.
I was so excited to visit this restaurant that when my friend cancelled at the last minute, I went alone. Fortunately for me I was on a conference call so I didn't feel lonely. The food was good. I ordered 3 sides and a salad as I am Gluten Free and there was not much on the entrée menu that I could order as I do not eat red meat and did not want shrimp n grits. I would have given the place 5 stars, but I took off a star for service. There was only 4 other people in the restaurant so it was empty. The owners were present and didn't come over to say hello, welcome to our restaurant or anything. They had friends there and only socialized with them. To top it off, there was some type of plastic particle in my collard greens. I placed it on the side of my plate and made the server aware. She replaced the collard greens, which was fine. The owner Tonza was present and saw what transpired and never came over to ask if there was an issue, apologize or ask if she could do anything to rectify it. It was disappointing, because even when I left they did not say thank you for coming or anything. Service is important in any business venture, especially a new business so I am hopeful that my experience will not be the same for someone else coming to support! Food for thought!
You eat a Burger from here and you will question every burger you ever had in your entire existence BEST BURGER SPOT IN NJ too me they have the Impossible Burger never had it because I'm not Vegan but I bet even that would taste better than other places and they may not have the Gluten free option yet but get your Burger without the Bun and it's still better than any other Burger spots. 🔥🔥🔥
Most of Montclair residents already know about the atmosphere of Thought and Motion and its people but have you tried their COFFEE??!! I look forward to Master White rabbit coffee that’s exclusively found in Thought and Motion every time I visit. There’s three levels of intensity and Master being the strongest one is by far my favorite coffee. It’s perfectly nutty, balanced and strong. I look forward to Master and so should you… && of course a side of lemon square or their gluten free chocolate muffin.
Da Pepo is hands down Montclair’s best. Everything we’ve tried has been exceptional -- from their menu staples to their amazing specials. Their gluten free pasta is the best we’ve ever had! The ambiance is cute and cozy, and truly perfect for so many occasions. (A restaurant surrounded by books is a dream!) We recently used them for catering our rehearsal dinner and could not have been happier. The process was super easy and all of our guests raved about the food.
Great place! Fast service, awesome food.
Staff very helpful with gluten free options. Not everything GF is mentioned in menu but they can make it GF upon request. For this only they are five star for me :)
Okay WOW.. the gluten-free veggie bibimbap with beef. Sooo good. I was afraid for a sec cause the chef/waiter was joking with me that it didn’t taste good and that the regular one was made with soy sauce which is why it tastes better. I assured him I understood but that gluten doesn’t like me, he said he would hook me up.
It was that perfectly cooked hot stone bowl bibimbap. The gf sauce he had was delicious. Tangy, a dash spicy and a little bit sweet. I want to go back asap.
My friends got a molten Kimchi Chigae and said it was the best he ever had. Other friend got beef bulgogi which was a lot of meat. She enjoyed it. And other friend got something with octopus.
Highly recommend this place for the quality of flavor and food preparation as well as the friendly service.
I have a serious gluten allergy and I'm always very cautious in going anywhere because people don't typically take it seriously enough and I can get very ill. What a breath of fresh air and an amazing experience I just had purchasing from this incredible location because Laichelle, picture there, is exceptional. She not only changed her gloves constantly, but went into the new untouched add-ons, had a new cutting board and everything so careful not to contaminate my food with anything that might have gluten. I have never seen anyone go out of her way so much to ensure that a customer is safe and able to enjoy this delicious product without worry of becoming ill. She absolutely deserves a big raise, a promotion, and grateful thanks for caring that much about a customer. What an amazing young woman she is and I will definitely come back to this particular location again and again just for her.
Love this place! The ingredients are always delicious and fresh-tasting. I’m gluten free and they offer almost every option gluten free (or have equally good gf alternatives) including “crispy onions” topping and a number of sauces. Has indoor and outdoor seating while the weather is still nice. Very nice staff as well.
Delicious food and amazing ambiance! The grilled octopus and roasted chicken are absolute must-tries 😍. The chocolate coulant dessert was the perfect sweet finish—like the cherry on top! Plus, they offer fantastic gluten-free options too!
My husband and I finally made it out to have dinner at Le Souk. We have been living in the area forever and yet it was our first time. And we were very pleasantly surprised! First, we were welcomed by the very cozy and intimate atmosphere coming in from freezing temperatures. We loved the “cluttered” decor and the delicious smells of spices in the air. The menu suited our vegetarian and my gluten-free diet and the dishes very absolutely scrumptious! The service was excellent and the even chef came out to inquire after our experience. We will certainly be back!
