L'avis 5 étoiles de Barbara Oh my goodness. I've only been to Ellary's Greens once but it was heavenly! I got their corn soup which was one of their specials of the day and the Portobello Mushroom wrap (which is one of their sandwiches but made in their gluten-free wrap instead of bread). Each bite of both were like little parties of flavor in my mouth, and both were vegan and gluten-free! The soup had a lovely, velvety smooth texture, slightly savory and slightly sweet, and the Portobello Mushroom wrap had the earthy flavor of the mushrooms, creaminess from the chipotle-chickpea spread, and a crispness from the wrap which was lightly grilled. I may or may not be drooling while typing this up. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other items on their menu. Each item is clearly marked with icons that indicate if it is vegan, vegetarian, made with gluten-free ingredients, and/or dairy-free. -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Barbara First, I love that they clearly indicate the pizzas they have that are vegan or gluten-free or BOTH. And there are a good number of pizzas that are both. The vegan ones use Daiya vegan cheese which melts great and works so well on pizzas. And the gluten-free crust is actually such a good crust that my non-gluten-free friends said they wouldn't have known it was a gluten-free crust if I didn't tell them. It's a thin crust that is crisp on the outside and just a bit fluffy on the inside. The pizzas are great for sharing. They're pretty big and too much for one person to eat (unless you're REALLY hungry maybe). I've never been able to finish one and had to take half home. There are also plenty of regular gluten-filled and meat-containing pizzas that my friends said were very good, so Pala is great for just about everyone. They also have lots of delicious-sounding antipasti and salads and pastas, too. -

L'avis 5 étoiles de Barbara Been here a couple of times now and I have not been disappointed the slightest bit! First of all, they win kudos for having a gluten-free menu that includes several appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts which means there is plenty to choose from. Nearly everything is vegan and those items that are not are clearly labeled. The Jap-Chae and the Mei Fun that I've had are absolutely delicious and generously portioned. Lots of vegetables and a good amount of yummy marinated tofu. Service was also great and pricing very reasonable. I would eat here on a weekly basis if I lived closer. -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Barbara I forgot that I came here once before a little over 7 years ago - I loved the food then, and loved it all over again. I unintentionally got the same thing (Baigan Bhartha) but apparently enjoyed it just as much as I did last time. It has a nice slow kick even though it was "regular" (i.e. least spicy), but it wasn't overwhelming and the various spices came through nicely. I also had their butternut squash soup which was divine! Very smooth, lightly sweet from the butternut squash, but balanced with with savory spices but especially the caraway seeds that were sprinkled on top. An excellent flavor profile. I couldn't eat all the soup at the beginning of the meal because it was actually almost too hot to eat. But halfway through eating my main entree, I was able to finish the soup and it tasted so good in between bites of the Baigan Bhartha. The boyfriend also thoroughly enjoyed his Lamb Korma. We were both very satisfied with our meal, and we both had at least half of our entrees as leftovers. Letting those herbs and spices marinate together even longer made for delicious leftovers. They very clearly indicate on their menu which items are vegan. Most of the entrees are by default gluten-free, but there were not many breads or appetizers that were gluten-free aside from the soups. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Why did I only recently discover Green Symphony, after living in NYC for almost six years and when I used to be around the Theatre District ALL THE TIME?! And now that I'm not near the Theatre District quite as often, I find myself going out of my way to come here for yummy food! Not everything here is vegan or even vegetarian (many chicken and tuna items offered), but there ARE many vegan and/or gluten-free items at the food bar, usually more so at the cold food bar than the hot. My personal favorites are the kale salad, the tofu and mushroom salad, the curry tofu salad, and my absolute favorite is the roasted corn - the last of which is often either not offered or out by the time I get there. But SO GOOD! Fresh and carefully created to bring out the best flavors. There are also a good number of vegan desserts, many of which are wheat-free but not necessarily gluten-free as they use spelt flour or "regular" oats (as opposed to gluten-free oats), but there are usually one or two items that ARE gluten-free. I got the BMW bar which has organic brown rice and pinto bean flour, walnut, apple sauce, fresh apple, cinnamon, sea salt, baking soda and raisins. Maybe a little too much walnut for my taste (I feel like most of my bar was made out of walnuts, just barely held together with the other ingredients), but tasty nonetheless. I'd love to see more vegan AND gluten-free items offered, but I'm usually pretty happy with what I get here. I will have to try the smoothies sometime - those also sound really good! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Best Baigan Bharta I've ever had! And I've had many. I love that they don't overcook the eggplant, and the eggplant actually still has some semblance of being eggplant. It also isn't overwhelmed by onion, garlic, or spices, so you can actually still taste the eggplant. Also helpful was the fact that the vegan items on their menu are designated with an asterisk. However, it wasn't as easy to determine which items were gluten-free, and I didn't have 100% confidence that our server knew what vegan and gluten-free meant. Maybe he did, and I'm just being overly cautious? Luckily I felt fine and didn't have any kind of reaction. Anyway, along with the Baigan Bharta, I also had their butternut squash soup, which was silky smooth, savory, and just a little sweet from the butternut squash. Yum! I'm sure I will be back, if anything just to have that Baigan Bharta again. The restaurant is easy to get to, literally right next to the stairs of the Ditmars N/W train station. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Finally came here to see what the fuss was about. Nice to see a menu that is 100% vegan, though only a handful of things that are gluten-free. Some things like mac & cheese can be made gluten-free but it's a $2.50 charge (not sure if the surcharge is the same for a small and a large portion ... it would be messed up if it was the same for a small). Some of the burgers can be served on a gluten-free bun for an additional $2.50. The salads seemed tasty and filling. I went with the Guac Burger, which is kind of a genius combination - a veggie burger topped with guacamole (of course), tortilla chip strips, corn salsa, and chipotle aioli. Wow, it was good! A tiny bit of a crunch from the chips and also the edges of the GF bun that was toasted on one side. Yum! A little more pricey compared to other places, especially with the gluten-free markups, but I guess worth it to have vegan food made with great ingredients. Just makes it a bit harder to convince non-vegan friends to come with me to come here. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Pretty good vegetarian/vegan food with plenty of gluten-free options. Came here for a brunch and got the Vegetable Tofu Scramble that had a gluten-free option, which really just meant no toast. (I just wish that places would substitute something for the bread they omit to make a dish gluten-free because it's a little unfair to have to pay the same price for less food ... but whatever.) Then I also got dessert, the Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bliss which was quite rich. The peanut butter mousse inside was awesome, perhaps better than the chocolate mousse that was layered on top of it, and both were encased in a chocolate shell. Peanut butter and chocolate ... one of the best combinations ever! For the most part, it was good but maybe a bit pricier than the quality of the food might warrant. Maybe the rest of the menu (like for dinner or lunch) would be better. My friend got the Homestyle Quinoa Pancakes which she seemed to really enjoy, so maybe other items are worth the price. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Vegan and gluten-free options for ramen?! Yes, please! I went with the Curry Miso broth with zucchini noodles ($1 extra), and ... just wow. Delicious soup with plenty of vegetables. I wanted to sip up every last drop of the broth. My only complaint, though, was the lack of any protein. I would have liked the bowls to include tofu or beans or something with a more significant amount of protein without having to pay up to $2 extra for toppings, because it would have been like an $18 bowl of ramen. And while it was really good and was a decent-sized portion, that would have been unnecessarily expensive bowl of ramen. Service was great, though we did come a little earlier than most people would come have dinner, and pretty much everything else on the menu sounded absolutely amazing. The dining area is a little on the small side and I can envision it getting quite cramped when full. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Souen has been on my list of places to try for a while now, and I wish I'd gotten around to coming here sooner! I knew they have plenty of vegan AND gluten-free menu options and, being the sucker for any kind of curry that I am, I chose the Vegetable Curry (which came with brown rice), and our server seemed knowledgeable about what items on the menu are vegan and gluten-free. It was a mild curry and had turmeric and ginger to add a unique flavor to it, which was delicious. I imagine the vegetables in it vary depending on the season, but mine had kale, some kind of winter squash, It is helpful that the menu identifies which foods are NOT gluten-free (seitan, soba, udon, baked tofu, and any of the fried items) and our server was super helpful in adding that the fried items are also not vegan because they are fried in the same oil as the seafood items. I also got the home-made cornbread, which came with apple butter. I'm not a fan of apple butter in general, so I didn't use it. The cornbread itself wasn't my favorite. It was a little bland, and initially I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a sweeter type of cornbread or a savory type of cornbread. I probably won't get it again next time I come here. Also, my friend ordered one of the sushi rolls that comes with the choice of either miso soup or the bean soup, and she asked our server which one he recommended. He recommended both, and that she could get half of one and half of the other. Now, you would think she would have gotten a small half-portion bowl with one and another with the other. But no ... she got both soups in one normal-sized bowl. Sort of mixed together, though, you could tell they tried to keep the soups on either side of the bowl. But in the same bowl. Not exactly what we had in mind! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara I've been coming back here now and then since 2015 and I still love everything that I have had. More recently, I've been getting a make-your-own-wrap on gluten-free wraps, and they've all been delicious! I've also had their triple chocolate, brownie which was ridiculously delicious and decadent - definitely not something to get on a regular basis, but good for a special treat now and then. I also very recently tried their bubble tea for the first time (or maybe first time in a long time), and the Thai Tea Bubble Tea was delicious and actually tasted like red tea (which most bubble tea places don't get right). The tapioca pearls were VERY soft, which some people might like, but I prefer them usually to have tad bit more chew to them. The Thai Tea apparently is already pre-sweetened, so you can't get it without added sugar like most bubble tea places will do, but you can at least ask for it to be made with less sugar, but it was still pretty sweet. There are a decent amount of gluten-free options for the wraps, bowls, and salads, but I wish some of the sides and some of the other main items were gluten-free. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara It seems the low rating reviews are mostly for the delivery from here, because eating in was a pretty good experience and the food was delicious. Maybe it also had to do with the fact that it was pretty empty with it being between Christmas and New Years? Anyway, our server was helpful in suggesting a few vegan options from the vegetable curry section, and I went with the Mixed Vegetable Curry. It had a great combination of flavors, a little bit spicy-hot but nothing that made my mouth burn or anything. It also wasn't super heavy or oily like some curries I have had elsewhere. Service was good. Our water glasses were refilled a few times without us needing to ask for it, and they gladly brought another bowl of rice when we requested it. The only weird thing that puzzled me was that the entire time we were there, they were moving giant metal racks through the dining area into the kitchen from outside. Just not something you'd expect to see while eating dinner. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Love the concept: natural, wholesome food that happens to be good for you and happens to be gluten-free. Not everything here is vegetarian or vegan, but some items are. Three sides for roughly $10 is a great deal, good-sized portions, very filling. I had the Assorted Market Vegetables (yum), the Roasted Broccoli (also yum), and the Roasted Cauliflower (a little too spicy and overpowering with the Indian spices ... and I usually love Indian spices!). The Roasted Sweet Potatoes were good, too, but I don't personally like that many spices on sweet potatoes so it wasn't my favorite. Some of the other offerings may be a little pricey such that I don't often get them. Like the packages of gluten-free graham crackers or the chia puddings - they're delicious, but I can't justify paying that much for the small volume of food there. Nice amount of seating both downstairs and upstairs, and there's wi-fi, too. And I really like that they offer the smaller bottles of the Almond Banana smoothie because I LOVE it, but I usually don't want an entire regular-sized bottle most of the time. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Since my last review, and since becoming vegan, I've come here a few more times and have successfully gotten the Funghi Socca without cheese so that it is vegan, and it is still delicious! The socca crust itself was a little dough-y and perhaps a bit too soft once or twice, but it was still good. I think the Funghi Socca is no longer on their gluten-free menu but they were happy to make it for me nonetheless the last time, so I was super happy about that! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara I've come here a few times, once for a juice, once for a wrap, and once for a dessert item. I didn't love the juice (which was pre-made and bottled in their refrigerator case) but it might have just been because I chose a juice that had A LOT of ginger and I'm not a huge ginger fan. But the Hummus & Avocado Wrap (with a gluten-free wrap) and the gluten-free vanilla cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting were both very good! Hummus and avocado are two of my favorite sandwich ingredients, so to have a wrap that had both plus some deliciously smoked tofu was so tasty. (I double-checked to make sure the tofu was gluten-free because I had recently gotten gluten sickness from a place that marinaded their tofu in something containing gluten, and the employees were able to confidently tell me the tofu was gluten-free.) And the cupcake was really good as well. I think if you hadn't known it was vegan and gluten-free, you might not have known it. It was maybe a tad more dense than a regular cupcake, but it was still moist and held together quite well. And the chocolate buttercream was a great complement as well. Very chocolately. I'm not sure if the fake meats are gluten-free (they often are not) but I might have to try to find out. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara I finally came back here to eat from their dinner menu, almost five years since the first time I came here. In short, it was delicious and it was a much better dining experience! I got the 9th Ave Tofu Jalfrezi (which is tofu, onions, eggplant, carrots & okra in a tangy sauce), which had a great combination of flavors in a satisfying but not heavy tomato-y sauce. There was a good amount of tofu, too, which made it quite filling. The main thing that disappointed me with was the fact that the rice that you might expect to get with a curry dish was extra and cost almost $4, when most places include rice with the entree. I just wasn't thrilled to be surprised by owing $4 more than I expected when we got the check. Also annoying was the fact that our server asked if I would like rice along with my entree, but did not mention the fact that it would cost extra. It could almost (but not quite) be ameliorated by the fact that they provided complimentary papadum with chili, green, and tamarind chutneys - all of which were delicious. But still ... a lot of places offer papadum and rice as complementary elements to the meal at similar prices for the food. But I will complement who I think was the owner who asked if I was gluten-free when I asked if the papadum contains any wheat (I haven't had it in quite some time and I couldn't remember). The fact that he recognized that and confirmed for me that the papadum was made from lentils and was gluten-free added bonus confidence points for me. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Been here a couple of times and I have yet to try their coffee or other foods, but I've gotten a couple of their vegan and gluten-free baked goods, and I've been pretty happy with them. The chocolate chip cookie is somewhat soft, and not dry or hard -- very satisfying. I also got the biscuit, which was only okay as it was quite salty, but at least it wasn't terribly dry. It did have some herbs baked into the dough which added a nice flavor, so I might get it again. And as far as prices go, considering these items are vegan AND gluten-free, they are actually very reasonably priced - comparable or even a little less than other places I've gotten vegan gluten-free baked goods. Their food menu looks intriguing so I'd love to come back and try their breakfast, lunch or dinner offerings. -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Barbara This place had been on my list of places I'd wanted to go to, pretty much since I went vegan about two years ago. I finally got a chance to go and it did not disappoint! I had a hard time deciding what to get because even the gluten-free menu had a large number of items that pretty much ALL sounded delicious to me. But I ended up going with an appetizer and a side: the Mushroom Scallops & Potato Crisps, and the Braised Tofu, respectively. The "scallops" were large trumpet mushrooms sliced into circles and the cauliflower cashew puree that accompanied it had a delicious yellow curry flavor, and it was topped with an onion raisin jam that gave it a perfect mild sweetness. What a creative, balanced dish! (The tofu was good, too.) Service was great, and although it was a little more pricey than I would typically want for a dinner, the quality of the food and beautiful plating makes it a great indulgence once in a while. -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Barbara I've come here a couple times, and both times I got the chickpea fries because - holy freak - they are amazing. They're soft inside, slightly crisp on the outside, have a wonderful flavor from some Indian spices, and come with a dipping sauce that complements the flavors. And they're gluten-free! They're a must-get. I also had their vegetable tamale (one of the side dishes), which was also very good. Lots of fresh tomatoes. Everything here is vegan, and a good selection of items are gluten-free. There are a few gluten-free desserts as well that I will have to try sometime. Service is friendly. Atmosphere is cozy and simple, nothing fancy, but you really don't need any frills. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara All vegan, many gluten-free options. Some items are made with gluten-free ingredients but are fried in a fryer that shares oil to fry other gluten-full items, and therefore should be avoided by anyone who has Celiac disease or is very sensitive to gluten. Unfortunately the extremely delicious Chickpea Fries fall into this potential contamination category, which I found disappointing because I LOVE those Chickpea Fries. :( But luckily these items that could potentially be contaminated with gluten are labeled (not exactly in those words ... they label them as "almost gluten-free") on the menu, and there are plenty of other very tasty items that are more confidently gluten-free. One of the specials I had was the Roasted Seasonal Squash (mine included pumpkin and spaghetti squash) that came with mashed potatoes and cauliflower but the mushroom gravy that accompanied it? OMG SO GOOD. I would bathe in that stuff if I could. The smoothie I got was very tasty (I wish I could remember which one I got!) but the gluten-free chocolate chip cookie was not so great. Maybe if I liked my chocolate chip cookies crunchy it'd be fine, but I like them soft and chewy. And there was something off about the taste but I can't put my finger on what. So eh. I've had better vegan gluten-free cookies. I've come here twice and I want to keep coming back. My only wish is that they get a second fryer that is dedicated to be gluten-free so that I can enjoy more of the gluten-free items on their menu without worry about whether or not I will have a reaction! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Oh my goodness. Their baba ganoush (there are so many ways to spell it ... they spell it Babaganoosh). Quite possibly ... no, I'm going to say DEFINITIVELY that this is the BEST baba ganoush I have ever had in my life and I have had baba ganoush from quite a few places. So incredibly smoky and rich with flavor. I have ordered this both times that I've gotten delivery from Ravagh and I will always get it when I order ... or I might just get the baba ganoush and nothing else! Because it's that good. I'm drooling just thinking about it. The only thing about ordering from here before is the vegetable kabob dish. There wasn't a skewer for these "kabobs" but that wasn't a big deal. I opted to get the grilled vegetables on the side (instead of rice or French fries), but it seemed to be the exact same vegetables and they forgot to include the hummus that supposedly came along with it. Either that or they gave me a side of grilled vegetables and forgot the vegetable kabob dish itself. I'm not sure. Regardless, I felt like I paid way too much for what I got. Don't get me wrong - the grilled veggies were delicious ... slightly charred and very flavorful with some great spices. But I just expected more. I have yet to eat at the restaurant as I've only gotten their food delivered. At least the delivery is always within a reasonable amount of time and the food arrives in good quality. But the baba ganoush. Seriously. Get it. -
New York, NY, États-Unis
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara I have eaten here and gotten food to-go a good number of times and they know how to do vegan food RIGHT. Everything on the menu is 100% vegan and there are some gluten-free options including bread and wrap options. They also carry some baked goods from the Blossom Bakery, some of which are also gluten-free. Most recently, I got the Beet Burger that came with horseradish vegan mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato between gluten-free multigrain slices of bread. The burger patty was delicious was very fulfilling with the nutty texture and flavor of the bread. I also have had the Gluten-Free Burrito Grande which was quite good and very filling, as well as the Gluten-Free Breakfast Scramble Wrap which actually was a little on the bland side, and the hot sauce that came with it only helped a little. The gluten-free wrap tastes great, but the texture is a little on the tough side but not so bad that I wouldn't get their wraps again. They revamped their menu sometime recently and they no longer have the Un-Tuna Melt or the Un-Tuna Salad because they apparently weren't selling that well, but I actually really enjoy those! So that was a bit of a bummer. I've also had a couple of their gluten-free vegan cookies, and my favorite is - hands-down - the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie. It does not taste like it is gluten-free or vegan! My non-vegan and non-gluten-free friends agree. It is a little on the oily side, but it's fine once in a while when you need to satisfy your sweet craving! I'm not really much of a smoothie person, but I've had both the Thrive and Green Giant. The Thrive is fulfilling and has the great combination of banana and almond butter. The Green Giant tastes almost TOO green for my liking. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara When a friend told me about this place and I discovered that it was a healthy, organic, vegetarian/vegan restaurant with a gluten-free menu and using local ingredients, I was so excited! Talk about right up my alley. And for the most part, it did not disappoint. I ordered the Paradise Casserole, which had the perfect balance of sweet and savory from the sweet potatoes and the black beans. I did have to remove one star from this review because Candle Cafe's definition of "gluten-free" is not really gluten-free, as was mentioned in prior review(s). Upon asking for the gluten-free menu, our server asked if I had celiac disease, and I said no, that I'm gluten-intolerant. Then because I'd earlier expressed interest in the guacamole, she said that I can have the tortilla chips since I don't have celiac disease. I asked her to be more specific with why that is (it sounded strange to me), and she said it is because the tortilla chips have wheat in them. Um, lady, your intentions were good, but that does NOT mean I can safely eat the tortilla chips. If wheat (or a related grain) is used, it's not gluten-free. So, just as a warning, be sure to check that the dish you're ordering REALLY is gluten-free before you order/eat. Otherwise, service was very good, everything on the menu and the specials list sounded delicious.even my two non-vegetarian friends seemed to enjoy their food very much, so that is a great accomplishment, I think! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara I was thrilled to hear upon asking before we were seated that their dishes could be customized to omit the soy sauce and fish sauce to accommodate my being vegan and gluten-free. Hallelujah! I ended up getting the Drunken Noodles without fish sauce or soy sauce and it still tasted really good. I asked for it to be "medium" spicy but I'm guessing they were using a more American scale for what "medium" meant because I expected it to be spicier than what I got. Still, it had a little bit of a kick ... a little bit more would have been even better. I also expected there to be a little more in the way of vegetables as there were only a few pieces of string beans and onion. I also tried a couple pieces of the deep-fried tofu and it was surprisingly very light and not at all greasy like I expected it to be. And our server confirmed that the tofu was not dusted in flour before frying like a lot of places do. Friendly and helpful service. I'm sure I will be back. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara One might think I would give this place a lower rating after they accidentally served us a dish with bacon after we had a very thorough discussion with our server about what foods can be made vegan. But at least our server quickly rectified the mistake and acknowledged he made the mistake, and he had the kitchen remake the dish. Regardless, I very much enjoyed the Chile Relleno that I got without the cheese and crema - great punch of heat from the poblano pepper, and the vegetables that stuffed inside the poblano were sauteed with some really delicious herbs and spices. Served along with the rice and beans, it made for a very filling and tasty meal. I would probably come back here if I make sure to be super clear with our server about what it means to be vegan. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara As an update to my recent previous review, they CAN make the curries with soft tofu (instead of fried), and I love it! Makes me feel so much better about what I'm putting into my body. I have also had the shiitake roll, and shiitakes are one of my favorite mushrooms, so it makes my taste buds and tummy very happy to have this as well. I doubt there's much else on the menu that I can safely eat (aside from a couple of the other vegetable-only rolls), but I love both the red and yellow curries so much that I'm totally content on ordering one of those each time I go. Also, they provide some complimentary fresh fruit at the end of the meal. It has usually been cut up oranges, but they gave us watermelon slices on the most recent visit, which was nice! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara I first came here before I was vegan and - as a couple other people have said about this place - BEST PAD THAI EVER. I don't know what they put in it to make it taste so good (crack?) but the balance of flavors is absolutely amazing. A little sweet, slightly tart, just the right amount of salt, not too dry nor too moist, and the noodles were neither mushy nor chewy. I could not stop eating it despite being ridiculously full. The first time, I ordered it with vegetables and tofu, and the second time was just with tofu. I must say that the variety of vegetables that came with the former was a vegetarian's dream: LOTS of broccoli, cauliflower, baby corn, carrots ... yum. But even when I came here after going vegan and asked for no fish sauce and no egg, the Pad Thai still tasted REALLY good. Obviously, not quite as good as with the fish sauce, but still FAR better than other places when you have the fish sauce taken out. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara I love that I was able to order Pad Thai without any fish sauce (or egg, and confirmed that there was no soy sauce in it) and that it still tasted good, so at least this Pad Thai is vegan- and gluten-free-friendly! The servers seemed happy to accommodate. Most of the items were very reasonably priced as well and the portions were generous for the price. My only minor little complaint was that there were these large baby corn in my Pad Thai and also my friend's noodle dish as well that I'm not sure qualifies as baby corn anymore. The center core was too mature and woody to really be eaten. Nothing fancy but definitely satisfies. Will be back for sure. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Now that I have to eat gluten-free and have chosen to be vegan, I want to say that it IS possible to eat both vegan and gluten-free here. They can make the Pad Thai without fish sauce or egg (and they are authentic in that there is no soy sauce in it anyway, unlike some less authentic places). And it actually still tastes very good! I've also had the Hai Lam recently which inherently does not have soy sauce and can have the fish sauce omitted. It's made with the flat wide rice noodles and is sauteed in sesame oil. Tastes delicious but it can be rather heavy because there is a lot of oil used. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Barbara Since my last review, Schmackary's has added a few more gluten-free cookies: the Green Tea (which became my other favorite next to the Sweet Corn), Lemon Poppy, the Monster (which I haven't tried because it came out after I went vegan), and the Yogi Bare which is both gluten-free AND vegan (it is the only vegan & gluten-free cookie on their menu currently). Only problem is the Yogi Bare has only been available during the fall and early winter, and was only available Tuesdays and Wednesdays during that time. It IS delicious, though. Tastes like the best trail mix ever (made with gluten free oats, peanut butter, applesauce, cranberries, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, maple syrup and cinnamon). Sounds too healthy to be good, but I LOVE it and I wish they would have it more often ... or year-round would be even better.
