Gluten Free at LEON

OMG. loved the food. Haven’t had a fried chicken sandwich ever. The minute we walked in the staff was super nice and answered all our questions. Everything is gluten free there except the pitas. The food was amazing and I will be returning. Absolutely amazing food and service

Limited menu, but will expand in the future because it’s a new restaurant. Everything is clearly marked. Staff is very knowledgeable. Everything is baked, so no issue of contaminated fryer. There’s a location in DC I frequent, so I was thrilled to see one closer to home. Really delicious and I recommend the spicy chicken nuggets!

GF chicken nuggets! Very high quality “fast” food. All sandwiches can be on GF bun. Chicken is baked in a nut and sunflower seed encrusted coating, delicious.

GF chicken nuggets! Very high quality food all around. Sunflower seed and nut crusted baked chicken items. Sandwiches are all available with GF buns. Fries are GF.

Great gluten free options but the food didn’t taste very good. Menu did not list all ingredient, but major allergens were clearly marked.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good nuggets. I’ve never had a more tasteless, dry chicken burger. Don’t spend your money on that. The bun was dry, like old bread. The burgerbun simply fell apart. The french fries were cold. Save your money.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Such great options! They have breakfast pots with poached eggs, bacon, mushrooms etc. that are gf, and for lunch they have hot boxes which are all gf and include different kinds of chicken or meatballs! They also have a few gf pastry options which didn’t look as good. Everything is clearly labeled and the server asked if I had any allergies. So happy to find this place and so awesome that they’re a chain with so many locations!

Yes they offer gluten free options but honestly I found this place very disappointing! Ordered a gluten free chicken burger they brought me a veggie burger...and then apologized and sent me a chicken one but honestly at that point I didn’t trust them. All the rest of the food was cold and tasteless and honestly for what it is it’s pretty expensive. Wouldn’t visit again.

Gluten free chicken was great and they asked if I was celiac and alerted kitchen. Great quick option.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Leon is amazing for gf - love their gf kfc chicken nuggets! Also gf burger buns and great salads and rice based dishes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many gluten free options. I think only a small part of their menu isn't GF, which is nice because it's normally the other way around! I got gf chicken nuggets, fries and a brownie. They also have salads and burgers too.

Lovely place, amazing food. Many GF option!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best naturally fast food I've hade in a long time 👍

the staff was very knowledgeable about gf. Fries are baked and not fried, so all gf. No gf buns, but good rice bowls.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very safe. Staff usually ask if there any allergies they should be aware of, but if they don’t and you mention you’re coeliac, they let the kitchen know and they take extra care.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free chicken nuggets, pastries, and more!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF. Chicken. Nuggets. All I need to stay.

This place is gf mecca! More things on the menu are gluten-free than not.

Menu extensive, staff very knowledgeable. They cleaned the area down before making the burgers. Very happy to have such a range of food and great service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great chicken nuggets and fries, price is fair

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Recently they’ve been less amenable to coeliacs and will only declare NGCI officially. Precautions in place and staff knowledgable but still slightly disappointing

Through me out and said they don’t serve celiacs. It was very embarrassing. Also now have sandwiches on gluten free bread that say in the fine print may contain gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

Almost entirely focused on gluten free food. Very tasty menu options.

Chicken nuggets were absolutely delicious. Really enjoyed the fries and aioli as well. Allergens are clearly labeled and staff specifically asked what my allergens were.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tante scelta gluten free per i celiaci

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful meal. Fast service. Multiple gluten free options as well as baked fries!

Airport food is always tricky for me even though I vigilantly advocate for myself in trying to stay gluten free. Leon at the Amsterdam airport offers many nutritious gluten free choices. And, although it’s not a gluten free facility, it was safe for my consumption. Good food, and many options.

Had the Lamb Kofe, was really wonderful. Hubby and son had GF chicken nuggets and waffle fries. Really enjoyed this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free waffle fries. Enough said. :)

I have been eating at Leon's for about 10 years and have never had a reaction. The food is really good value for money. Gluten free options are very clearly marked. It is a life saver at railway stations like Kings Cross.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten at a few branches of Leon, including this one and the one in Brighton and Heathrow successfully as a Coeliac with a dairy allergy. I find the staff extremely knowledgeable about allergies and I’ve never had a reaction from eating there. The gluten free chicken nuggets and vegan Aioli are so good! As are many of the curry/rice boxes. Very good fast food at decent prices for London, plus the children enjoy it too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

As a traveler visiting London from the US, my comment is that Leon is a Godsend. Clearly marked items as GF and a knowledgeable staff make Leon a worry-free place to eat breakfast. Infinitely better than US take away for those who need GF.

Great knowledge of allergy’s Great to have the option of gluten free chicken nuggets! However it is essentially a GF form of takeaway and therefore I think a bit over priced

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tons of healthy, gluten free options, including dessert (obviously not as healthy). Ask if you have food allergies up front and menu is clearly labeled. Had the sweet potato falafel and the kale salad. I didn't love it, but would come back to try other things on the menu. Came in around lunch time and it stayed busy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was so good! When I saw it was takeaway fast food I was a bit skeptical but this far exceeded my expectations! Almost everything on the menu was GF. Had the chicken satay and Thai curry and my husband and I shared the two. Both delicious! Went at lunchtime and it was busy but very fast. Also lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Very well marked menu. Good prices. About 6.50-8.50 pounds per entree which was a perfect sized portion in my opinion. Would go here again in a heartbeat if I’m in the area. Very close to both Westminster abbey and buckingham palace (kind of in between).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Refused to serve me because I was a celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very nice staff. Offered excellent suggestions. All desserts are gluten free.

Allergens are clearly marked on the menu, there are plenty of gluten free food and desert options and once we finished ordering the cashier asked about allergens. We had the breakfast on our last morning in London and it was amazing!

They have gluten free chicken nuggets. an unusual treat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It’s fast food but different. I had gluten free chicken nuggets and a Thai Curry. I did not have a burger but the have them and other dishes like meatball etc. It’s food in a box and you can take away or eat in. They have wine. It was pretty good overall.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Clearly marked what is glutenfree. Food is naturally fast food. Could be more warm when served.

Apparently certified by the celiac association. I had the sweet potato falafel which came with rice and cabbage salad. It was fairly tasty though not nearly as good as regular falafel. It was filling and felt healthy, though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very nice experience, they don’t have a dedicated kitchen, however the take care to avoid cross contamination. you can not leave without trying the nuggets

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff now claims everything can be cross contaminated and recommends celiac avoid it.

Celiac friendly?

No

It always used to be a safe option but they don’t appear to show the same care and attention to cross contamination as other outlets. They now have a sign up saying « we work with allergens «  and the last twice I’ve been glutened. Such a shame as it used to be our go to place !

Large warning signs say they do not guarantee anything is allergen free but on closer questioning that is misleading as they do have a dedicated GF kitchen area. I've never been made ill there but one can't like those signs.

Great healthy fast food. Many gluten-free options. If you ask they will do their best to prevent cross contamination. They do have a warning sign that they cannot guarantee it as they have an open kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good healthy fast food in Kings Cross Station. Allergens (incl gluten) clearly listed, but it’s fast food so I can’t be sure on the cross contamination, but I’ve eaten here several times with no reaction.
