Everything is gluten-free and dairy free, except a few drinks have dairy in them. Very delicious healthy bowls. This was a treat as we could have anything! It was fast and tasted great. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eat here regularly, it’s always really tasty and I’ve never had a reaction. Everything is gluten-free. Most often I go with a noodle or spring mix base ( or a combo of both ) and I have the steak and shrimp or chicken and shrimp. Food is really good, staff always nice and efficient.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is great! All gluten free. Celiac friendly. Great noodles and sauces with chicken, steak or shrimp. My daughter loved it! She had noodles with a peanut sauce.

Fantastic. Every single thing on the menu is GF, and tons of combinations. A go-to lunch spot that is celiac safe.

Yum! I wish we had a restaurant like this back home, I would love to try all different combos if I could. Although we aren’t dairy free, there are numerous options for those that are. A winner for sure.

Everything on the main menu is gluten free. They have added some "street kitchen" items during the pandemic that are not all gluten free, however when I reached out to them they explained that they take cross contamination seriously. The meatballs are incredible! I also love their chicken box with peanut sauce!

I placed an order through Skip the Dishes. It says the satay beef is gluten friendly so that’s what I ordered. They called me from the restaurant saying the satay beef is the only thing not gluten free. I am glad I put in the notes that I have celiac disease or they would not have called me. They should probably update the menu so no one gets sick. I ended up getting the lemongrass chicken and it was very good.

I have gone to the Square One location and was not pleased with the quality. This Oakville location has fresh offerings and has not disappointed me. There is a patio area. Most of the foods are gf. I think there is a packaged dessert or snack that isn't.

Hi everyone,

First post here and I’m trying to help promote my business, especially during these difficult times for restaurants. Feel free to remove it if it is not allowed.

My name is Pete and I’m the founder of the fast-casual restaurant chain called Basil Box.

We currently have 16 locations across Canada in Ontario, Alberta, and BC. Our BC locations include 810 Burrard (Burrard & Robson) and our new store opening at the new Amazing Brentwood in August!

Everything we currently serve on our menu is inherently free of gluten. Last year we did rebrand brand ourselves “gluten-friendly” instead of “gluten-free” because we became aware of the law to officially label as “gluten-free”. As a relatively small but growing chain, we don’t have the funds available to put towards scientific testing on all our foods to ensure we are under 20 ppm gluten content per Health Canada regulations to officially label “gluten-free”.

The majority of our items we make in house and the few items that we bring in from outside suppliers we carefully look at the ingredients deck.



Our website with location list can be found at www.thebasilbox.com

We hope to serve you soon!
