Symptomatic Celiac

Overall Rating

Review


Sensitive celiac and did not get sick. Had the half chicken with the mango lime sauce, French fries, peas and rice. All the sauces are gf. The manager is very knowledgeable and they have an allergen book. The other employees could use some training on the gf options as they were very confused. It was delicious!

Tons of GF options. Unfortunately I don’t believe that they carry gluten-free bread, pita, or croutons, so avoid any menu items with those.

The wings are amazing! Love the “chips” here as well. I have never felt sick after eating here and I go here quite often.

Tasty flame-grilled chicken. Comprehensive allergen list online. The cashier double checked a hard copy of the allergen list when I placed my order in the restaurant. Gluten free options for sides, as well as a couple that are dairy free too. Sauces are gluten free.

I dined in and had a positive experience the people were very nice and I watched the person who took my order tell the kitchen to be careful with cross contamination. I did not get sick and felt comfortable eating there! I would always say when eating somewhere that has gluten in the kitchen at all be very clear about the severity and ask them to change gloves etc!

Manager was pretty rude and didn’t want us to eat there even though it was 45min til they closed. Dirty environment too. I did not get sick from gluten but I wouldn’t recommend.

We always stop at Nando’s when we travel south. They have a well marked allergen booklet. We get the chicken livers, spicy olives, brussels sprouts without the sauce, shish kebabs, and half chicken. French fries are in a dedicated fryer. Enjoy!

While the restaurant isn’t dedicated gluten free, the staff are excellent about allergies! As soon as you tell the staff you have celiac/wheat allergy, they are running to the kitchen to ensure your order is prepared with new gloves, in a freshly cleaned area, and without any gluten ingredients. The servers automatically bring the allergen book and work directly with you to ensure you do not order anything that has hidden gluten. My husband and I both have celiac and have never had issues here :)

my husband is from Australia, and whenever we saw that a Nando‘s was coming to Houston. We both got so excited. The only question was do they have gluten-free options? Well, the answer is yes! They do! Do they have gluten-free indicators on their menu? No. They don’t…but don’t worry, I did the digging for you, and if you swipe right, you will find pictures of their allergen menu that they store behind the counter. (Not the best picture but proof that it exists!!) ๐Ÿ˜Š

of course they can’t say that it is a completely gluten-free space because they do have flour, but they did say that the grill was completely separate from anything containing wheat so I do feel like most people will be very safe eating here. The sauces don’t contain gluten, but to my surprise, the sweet potatoes do. And be careful with the bowls because some of them are not gluten-free but the grilled chicken is and I will say it is absolutely delicious! . . . ๐Ÿ“ @nandosusa ๐Ÿ— ๐Ÿ“ธ: 1/2 chicken medium with fries & grilled halloumi (cheese!) • • • #glutenfree #glutenfreeintexas #findmeglutenfree @findmeglutenfree #glutenfreefood #houstonwithoutgluten #gfeats #houstonglutenfree #gfhouston
