Good comfort food and lovely staff. My waitress knew about coeliac disease and what I could have off the menu. She also made a note to the kitchen that I was coeliac. Overall, I felt really safe eating here.

One of the owners is a celiac. I felt safe eating here but I was limited in my options. This restaurant has a diner feel. Many locals eat here.

No actual gluten free menu, but staff knowledgeable on gluten free options available. Staff advised the boss was coeliac and therefore aware of difficulties in cross contamination. Food was delicious, would recommend the breakfast.

So nice that they have gluten free options. And they’re good. BUT.. check with server that they are giving you the correct plate as they handed me the wrong one and said it was the gf breakfast when it wasn’t. We didn’t realise until we’d eaten most of our food.

Had a fantastic meal! I also have a dairy allergy in addition to celiac and they were super accommodating. Had the haggis (gluten free, meat) with vegan mash and it was phenomenal. Staff also assured me that my meal would be prepared in a separate area of the kitchen to minimize potential cross contamination. Highly recommend for Scottish comfort food!

I was a little hesitant at first after walking in and seeing the menu, but the wait staff was awesome! I went here two different times while in Edinburgh and both times the waiters knew what celiac was. One told me they have their own pots and pans for gluten free food and has celiac themselves. I ended up getting haggis both times because it was one of the few places I could actually try it! I’d absolutely go here again.

Great spot for some GF comfort food! The menu is a bit confusing for CC so best to speak to a waiter. That being said, they were very knowledgeable about coeliac and made me feel safe eating there. Had the shepherds pie, it was delicious.

MUMS is the best non dedicated gluten free spot I've ever been to. Both the manager and one of the waitress are celiacs, and they're super accommodating and knowledgeable about cross contamination (apart from being really cool). I was bummed out that the sign at the door said that they could not guarantee cross contamination safety, but this is only because it is not a dedicated gf place. However, the manager explained everything to me, pointed at the safe options on the menu, and made sure that I got my delicious and safe shepherd's pie and a great gf IPA. We went again for breakfast a couple days later and the waitress, who was not serving our table (celiac herself), made sure that everything was safe for me. I cannot recommend it enough!

Great lunch at MUMS. Felt super safe and our waitress (who I assume owns the place!) is coeliac so really knew her stuff.

Was able to finally try Gluten free haggis! Highly recommend the entree size just to give it a go.

The flavored mashed potato is also a nice touch. I had garlic mushroom for my bangers and mash and it was very tasty.

The food here is great. Had some excellent sausage and mash. The mash and gravy are made in house, and the sausage has such a great flavor. Lots of GF options. The staff is very knowledgeable (some are celiacs themselves) and helpful. Highly recommend for a Scottish staple!

What a lovely little place, was made to feel so welcome even though busy. The guy working was so happy and jolly, he was so nice to our daughter. Nice to find a place with a lovely and varied range of gluten free food, the knowledge from the guy was also incredible.
