Ate here back in November and really enjoyed the food. I ordered the standard burger on a gluten free bone w/ a side salad. Food was great and I did not have any bad reactions afterwards

The gluten free cheesecake

Separate GF menu that marks any items that share a fryer. Made it very easy to order. My chicken sandwich and salad were delicious and came out marked as a gf meal. Since another server delivered, our server quickly came over to verify I got the correct meal. I also really enjoyed the gf cheesecake for dessert.

The staff was super friendly, really helpful. From the very beginning they told us that the fried options have cross contamination, so I didn't try those (celiac). I tried the chicken burger with a gluten free bun and it was DELICIOUS, but I got it with a side of slaw since the fries are not gluten free.

Dont get the butter chicken. It tastes more like tomato soup than any curry ive ever had. Not worth the price.

Seemed safe though. The atmosphere was good and they had a bar. The cesar or the bugers might be better bang for your buck.

Asked server for a gluten free menu and they had a separate printed menu with all available gluten free options. The menu stated clearly what was gluten free, what items could be made gluten free and how to order them, and which items were fried in a shared frier.

I ordered the salmon without sauce as indicated by the menu and the food was served exactly as I ordered. Did not have any reaction to the food.

They also had ciders on draft and plenty of other cans, bottles, and cocktails.

Separate gluten free menu with cross contaminated items clearly marked. Knowledgable server. I ordered the chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun with mashed potatoes as the fries don’t have a separate fryer. Overall felt very safe and happy!

I am staying in the Club Quarters hotel next door and dropped in for a quick bit to eat. They have a detailed gluten free menu, including if items are in the shared fryer and what items need to be removed from each dish. I got the Bacon & Bleu Burger with a GF bun and side salad. It was DELICIOUS. They also have a Bailey’s cheesecake with a GF crust. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful experience! You have to ask for a gluten free menu but they are happy to provide one. My server was excellent and very cautious about my dad's intolerance. They have gluten free Ciders and a gluten reduced beer (not celiac friendly but didn't bother my dad's intolerance). Gluten Free Buns available for the burgers which made my dad so happy. The hummus (order with no naan) was fantastic as an appetizer and larger than expected. They have many options with appetizers, salads, dinners, sandwiches and even dessert! The gluten free cheesecake was delicious. My server brought out my dad's plate separately from everyone else's. While they don't have a dedicated gluten free frier they do only fry gluten free items in one, just can't promise no cross contamination from other fryers dripping into that fryer. One caution is my server explained she had a food safety certificate but they are not required for the servers so not all servers might be this knowledgeable. If you go ask for Dani I guess! Not recommended for Celiac though!!!!! No separate kitchen and items are prepared in the same area.

Fun place. Busy, so it took a while to get food. Not great for accessibility. Had butter chicken (no naan; helped in flavor with some tamarind), grilled salmon w mashed potatoes, and the dips and crisps. The crisps were delicious but I didn’t ask about fryer. No tummy aches!
