Amazing experience here! The staff’s English was amazing and totally understood what gluten free and even celiac safe food was. Assured me that they would fry our food in a separate oil and everything. Food was delicious and I felt totally at ease knowing they truely understood the severity of being celiac. Many GF menu items if you ask. Will definitely be going back!

Absolutely amazing restaurant that I would 100% recommend to anyone staying in Kyoto. The staff all spoke very good English and understood what gluten was, going out of the way to point out all the things I could and couldn’t have. There were so many options without gluten, all the curries and many side dishes which all tasted exceptional and the restaurant had a really cool setting!!

Such a nice place! Worth every y! They don’t have an GF menu, but the staff was very knowledgeable (and nice) and there was a lot of options. All the food was super tasty, I wish I could eat that again 😞❤

Gluten free. Wait staff knew all about GF so I felt very confident. The curry was decent but the pakoras were amazing! Best pakoras I’ve ever eaten!

We came around 8pm on a Tuesday eve - a big table had been seated just before us so the service and food was a little slower than I imagine it normally is! Everyone was very friendly and the waitress was able to point out all the gluten free options (all curry, rice, poppadoms and some fried veg/pakora type dish). Boyfriend is coeliac and has had no issues. Taste of the food was ok, we are spoilt with some very nice tasting curry back in the UK and this didn’t quite hit the spot unfortunately.
