Excellent little restaurant in the heart of Heidelberg. Everything is gluten free and no risk of cross contamination. The arepas were very tasty! They also have a coffee and cake shop next door. The coffee was amazing! We didn't eat a cake because we were too full from lunch but will definitely go again!

Best Restaurant in Heidelberg! 100% gluten free and everything is absolutely delicious. The falafel arepas were truly a hit! Try the coffeeshop next door too which has delicious homemade cakes, also 100% gluten free! I was really glad to find this restaurant and cafe and highly recommend it!

They have only gluten free food. I had Arepa and peanut cake, both tasty. I was very happy, that I could order everything from the menu :)

Hier gibt's ausschließlich glutenfreies Essen. Ich hatte Arepa und einen Schokoerdnusskuchen, beides lecker. Ich war sehr froh, dass ich alles von der Karte hätte essen können :)

This is a dedicated glutenfree restaurant with vegan, vegetarian and meat options. The arepa’s are very good. The space is rather small, there’s not a lot of seating. I had the arepa clasico con queso, which is low fodmap friendly.

We traveled out of our way to go to this restaurant. The food was delicious. They were very knowledgeable, and we even tried some of the desserts in addition to the lunch items. We also used a Nima tester, and everything came back without any gluten. Also, we use a Nima tester all of the time, but are not sponsored by Nima.

Great place in downtown Heidelberg. My wife and daughter had the chicken arepas and I was torn between ordering the pulled beef bowl (Pabellon Criollo) or an arepa, when the person who served me asked if I wanted a Pabellon Criollo Arepa, which was the best of both worlds and exactly what I wanted. It also turned out to be absolutely delicious. The next day we went back just for a cappuccino because Rada also roasts its own coffee. Very enjoyable. We even had the pleasure to chat for a while with the owner and meet her son. Both are lovely people. We are looking forward to trying some of the many kinds of cake tomorrow.

Incredibly hard to eat but sooo good and everything is gluten-free! Their sign even says that it’s celiac safe, so I felt very safe and enjoyed every bite! Vegan options available. Had the veggie arepas with vegan empanadas and would recommend the Tomate salsa to it. Very nice staff!

Everything is gluten free! Vegan options are also possible. Had a traditional Venezuelan meal with vegan cheese. They mixed up the order but immediately offered to bring a new meal and checked whether it was because I am lactose intolerant, thus seem to be aware of food intolerances! Can definitely recommend:)

Delicious food and the kindest people! The arepas are a must-have, but I‘m also looking forward to trying their empanadas and bowls! They have arepas with meat, but they also offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. If you’re in Heidelberg, definitely check them out!

(They are also connected to a coffee shop called Rada Coffee and Rösterei, which I haven’t tried yet and am unsure of whether it’s gf, but I will update this review when I find out)
