Have been here before and enjoyed the experience so thought we’d give it another go. Smashed Avocado Bagel (with Salmon as an add-on) was generous and the salmon portion very generous. Bagel was very tough to cut with a knife though but maybe being gluten free had something to do with that? Very tasty though. We also had the Poke Bowl which was underwhelming. Not the traditional bowl at all, as it was on a plate. No sign of coriander in the rice, no kewpie mayo, no crispy shallots and no sweet chilli (all were advertised on the menu). Pretty disappointing for $32.90 and our two meals and bottled juice made it an $80 lunch.

Really lovely staff. I have specific diet restrictions and they kindly made me a toastie on gluten free bread. Most of my group got coffee and the big sausage roll. What a great deal. The sausage roll really is big!

Great service tonight from our lovely server Ethan. Easily helped us with our gluten and soy allergies. Was a nice nostalgic time as we no longer have a Cobb and Co where we live.

I just got the worst GF pizza from the Koutu branch. The normal pizza is good, but the gluten free pizza is absolutely uneatable. GF is not a choice for everyone! 😞 If you can't prepare GF food don't say you can and then add extra charges and expect people to be happy with tast- less food 😡

Really enjoyed our dinner here tonight. The waiter was great in helping my wife with some changes to her meal as she is on a gluten free diet and has some other food intolerances. My steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious.

Really lovely spot for dinner. I brought my family here last night - we have three vegetarians, a vegan AND someone with gluten allergy, and Lovely India catered to all of us beautifully. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive, all the dishes were absolutely delicious and the prices were fantastic. 10/10 we will definitely be back

Sadly thus place let me down, on the menu it says several items are Gluten Free, I'm Coeliac so need this to be true sadly it isn't, when I went to order they told me everything is cooked in the same oil etc, I was extremely angry, IF IT'S NOT GLUTEN FREE DON'T ADVERTISE IT AS SO ! Only call it GF when it actually is !!!! Learn about this please !!!
