I visited Kitava on 11/ 3, just late with my review! I loved it. It's the first totally gf restaurant I've ever been to, and it's a great feeling to know the food is really safe. I got the sesame chicken bowl and fries to go. I was giddy eating it, so delicious and again, knowing it was safe. I'll be back soon!

Great bowls. Had the tuna bowl and a custom one with steak. Cauliflower bites, chicken, and drinks were all good! Worth a drive!

20 stars out of 10. I eat here maybe once a month and have never gotten sick. Staff is always incredibly nice. The food is good for fast casual. Their fries are a standout. They’re also very open about listing ingredients on their website and menu. Highly recommend.

My go to always. Delicious, healthy and celiac safe

Amazing food selection and quality. We tried the poke bowl and the sesame chicken bowl- both were excellent. We also had the fried chicken and plantains- both delicious! We topped it off with soft serve chocolate ice cream (made with cashew cream) topped with brownie crumbles. Wow! This was the best dairy free ice cream we have ever had- thick and creamy, almost like a chocolate mousse. Definitely come to eat at Kitava- you will not be disappointed.

I’m so grateful that places like this exist. I have celiac and my partner has a severe peanut allergy, so between the two of us, it can be really difficult to eat out. But we can both eat here with confidence! Meals are yummy and healthy, plus they have GF beer on tap. It’s a little pricey, but worth it for the fact that we don’t have to be worried about our food.

This is one of the safest options for my dietary restrictions, however, their addition of GF Bobs Red Mill Oats in the kitchen has been a disappointment. I react to the protein in oats as I would gluten, AND these oats have soy cross contamination so it adds a hazard to the kitchen for sensitive individuals such as myself. I contacted customer support and was notified that the plant protein patty (which has oats) is made on the grill and the only risk of cross contamination is with the charred broccoli.
I continue to go here despite having a mild reaction (I was in a flare at the time) because it is still the safest option in the Bay Area. The price and variety make me feel safer than anywhere else. I do prefer the 16th Street location more than this one.

Had a bowl with rice, chile verde pork, black beans, and plantains with the green goddess sauce. It was pretty good!

This place is celiac magic. I try to eat here occasionally and not too often because I don’t want to get tired of the same menu, I save it for special occasions. Everything is delicious and safe. GO! Also very reasonably priced considering the menu and the options.

This restaurant specifically caters to celiacs and pays close attention to sourcing of ingredients. I asked about if at item had oats and they said it’s GF certified oats. I let them know about the recent concerns with CC even in those oats and they took me very seriously and made me another item. They really care about our health and not just following the trends. I was very impressed!

Fabulous! I’m so blown away. This place is a dream come true.

Everything on the menu is GF. The toast, the pancakes, the batter. Also, all of the dressings and cheeses...dairy free. This restaurant is a holy grail I had Brussel sprouts and their special for the day, fish and chips. Washes down with a mimosa

Fantastic and 100% gluten free. Our family tried each of the small plates and shared a couple bowls, highly recommend! Professional service and aesthetic vibe.

It’s lovely to have a dedicated gluten-free space and to be able to feel safe while eating. Be careful with ordering online tho as they have an online-order only location that is shared with other kitchens and not dedicated. But their Oakland location is dedicated!

Love that it’s a dedicated GF establishment and has a good selection of menu items. Have found the quality to be much less consistent than the location in SF and at Buck Wild.

The poke bowl was delicious and the cookies and the brownie also were nice.

Love this place. Highly recommend. I love Buckwild Brewery, but I think the food here is even better…

I had the most delicious gluten free dinner at Kitava! My build your own bowl was filled with all of my favorite healthy foods, and the romesco sauce was so yummy! In my photo below I ordered the sauce on the side and hadn’t put the sauce on yet, because I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but it was so delicious!Portion size was good. Definitely recommend!
Dedicated GF
