Review of Bida Manda

I know everyone says this place is great with GF and the staff is adamant it’s safe. However, I got VERY sick regardless. Almost didn’t make it home in time. It was clearly due to their food, and I was assured multiples times while there that my food was safe. Perhaps the server messed up and didn’t list the appetizer as GF even though I reminded her several times? Not sure. Whatever happened, I left feeling terrible.

Also, I’ve been here twice after making reservations weeks in advance. On both occasions, I specifically ordered a popular dish on the menu, per the servers. The first time I ordered the pork belly bowl and the second time I had curry. I was not impressed either time. After two visits (and a good bit of money), I consider this place very overrated in terms of GF safety and their food in general.

Celiac friendly?
