I will preface this by saying - I love townhall! I love their food. I live across the street and was eating there pretty consistently since they are one of the only places in Cleveland to get gluten free fare. I have to eat strictly gluten free for health reasons. Lately, after eating there quite a bit, I was not feeling well consistently and have health issues associated with ingesting gluten. This was the only restaurant I was eating at consistently so I got out my Nima and tested two items of theirs that we had ordered - a gluten free pizza and a gluten free Thai noodle bowl - both, when ordered I indicated I had an allergy to gluten. Sadly, both immediately tested with “gluten found” on the Nima sensor. I contacted the restaurant via email (have not heard back) and then via FB message - someone did respond to that and said they were looking into it and asked if they could have a call with me about it. I replied yes, but have not heard back (in about a week). I know they do have some non gluten free items but the majority of their food is gluten free - and it should be relatively easy to protect against cross contamination with some education. I still think it’s a fabulous place - but those with celiac and other serious issues should test their food or think twice before assuming it is safe, unfortunately. I really hope they look into this and implement some new measures so that the food is truly safe for those with allergies.

Celiac friendly?

No
