Review of Dadawan

June 2022 - They’re an amazing dinner spot with a lot of options. It’s an Asian fusion restaurant. There’s quite a few dinner options (stone plate, stone bowl and sushi) with various meat options. The menu is very clearly marked with what’s gluten free or not and so far I haven’t had any reaction. Unfortunately the dessert options are lacking (just one ice cream if I remember correctly but I think it was mango flavor?).

June 2023 - After one year, we were back in the area and naturally went back to this restaurant. Unfortunately in between the menu has changed and it’s no longer easy to know what exactly is gluten free and what your options are. Before you order your meal, you have to discuss what you want to order with the manager (?) and they will tell you if it’s possible or not. I wasn’t very confident with the situation and managed to convince the manager (?) to discuss my order with the chef and confirm that it can truly be made gluten free. We ordered the chicken stone bowl and the lamb stone plate. Only the sauce in the original dish contains gluten and can be swapped out for an alternative. I didn’t have a reaction which I was pleased about but I’m a bit reluctant to recommend them as a safe reliable option. The one waiter had no idea what gluten free is and the other said that they don’t really do that anymore because they can’t guarantee it will be safe etc etc.
