First time eating out after coeliac diagnosis, felt nervous and did research on the food choices. On arrival I was asked if anyone in our party had any dietary requires ( I made a joke as I have a few requirements). I said I am vegetarian, have a severe dairy and apricot allergy, have egg intolerance and recently diagnosed with coeliac disease, I also said it was my first time eating out. The waitress completely understood and shared her allergies with me and I felt so at ease. Before we ordered I was handed a tablet which showed all the menus allergens. I ordered my food and it tasted delicious, I even had a pudding. I would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Went for lunch. Slightly disappointed by amount of gf items available from a Mexican chain restaurant where naturally foods tend to be gf. I should say I am a non meat eater. The menu is clearly marked. The waiter was helpful in providing information. Food was fine.

Waitstaff was super friendly and helpful, but the food took forever. It was mediocre tasting, but they were exceedingly careful about our gluten restriction. GF items are marked on the menu, but they also directed us to their website where you can filter the food options by whatever restrictions you have. Food came out flagged, as well. The place was very loud, so people sensitive to noise should be aware.

A few gf options. I went for chicken coconut curry and it was tasty. Gf options marked on the menu. They ask on entry if you have any allergies. The place is massive and very busy (at least on a Saturday before a show) so we had to wait 10 min to be seated, but the stuff was friendly and service wasn't slow. The price are reasonable too.
