Gluten-Free Restaurants near Merchantville, NJ

“My fiancé and I were arguing about what to get for dinner because I couldn’t decide, so he finally said he was just going to go out and surprise me with something. He came back with Indian food from Aroma, which I had never tried before—and wow, I’m officially hooked.

I ordered the chicken makhani and it was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The sauce was incredibly flavorful with just the perfect hint of sweetness, and the chicken was so moist and cooked perfectly. Every bite was amazing.

On top of that, the customer service was great. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for delicious Indian food. Definitely a new favorite spot for me!“

“Great atmosphere and service. The food and desserts are a treat for the tastebuds!“

“Both the food and the service are Excellent.“

“My best friend brought me to this hidden gem last summer for my birthday and surprised me with a return visit this year — and I swear, it just keeps getting better. Hands down, this might be the best Italian in Philly. The food doesn’t just sit pretty on the plate — it jumps out, grabs you by the soul, and gives you a warm, savory hug. Every bite is a bold, beautiful explosion of flavor that hits you in the heart and the taste buds. This place isn’t just dinner — it’s a love story in pasta form.“

“Delicious food. Friendly people.“

“Exceptional food, staff is incredibly friendly. Paesano's hosted a private event, the results were spectacular. A very welcoming environment. Pete, the chef, accomdated allergies, took the time to talk a bit about the courses. I will definitely be back to Paesano's.“

“Food is delicious, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Loved it!“

“I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary and we had a great experience. The ambience was nice, the staff was friendly, our waitress was attentive and the food was good. The manager Timothy Fisher stopped by our table twice to check on us and as we were on our way out, he ran up the stairs to hand us my girlfriend's purse which was left at our table. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you Tim, Maryn and team for all that you do!“

“Delicious and fresh Brazilian dessert“

“I live in South Philly and didn't even know this place existed. A friend told me about it and said it was good so I ordered from GrubHub and mannnn it did NOT disappoint! So much goodness in flavor and portion size. I tried the beef todero and tequeños and both were 10/10. I can't wait to try their arepas! My grandfather immigrated to Venezuela before coming to the US and used to make us some and haven't had any since. Looking forward to trying more.“

“What an amazing place!!!! Thanks to Stephanie we found out about a few other local places to check out!! Where to start the atmosphere perfect!! The hospitality is amazing. The ciders AMAZING.... hand pies (MADE IN HOUSE) BY STEPH are second to none💜🧡. A MUST STOP BY!!“

“Where do I begin? Well let’s start with I had a change of plans and found this place through recommendations and felt like taking a night out on the town. I drove from Glassboro to here and I was greeted with great professionalism, the atmosphere was amazing, and the music was perfect. Now as my first time coming in, I had no idea what was good but my waitress Josephine L. made fantastic recommendations! I had the Steak which was fantastic and the cocktail she suggested, Risky Business, was a perfect blend between sweet and sour! In short honesty (and very nerdy talk) I wanted to feel like Bruce Wayne tonight and the staff did a very fantastic job of making me feel like it! Will definitely be returning!“

“What a charming little restaurant! I sat at the bar on a work trip for an early dinner, which they actually have a menu for! Prices are reasonable for the city, and 4-6 is happy hour so I came at the right time for great prices and drinks and appetizers. Would definitely recommend! Plus this is walking distance to many nice hotels downtown. Only 5 min walk from the Kimpton Palomar! Would recommend calling ahead to ensure availability.“

“I lived in Seattle for almost two decades and will admit to being a bit of a coffee shop snob. The Nook hits so many of my high points. Extremely good locally roasted coffee (in-house!). Amazing baked goods. The cocoa coffee bread must be tried, but leave me a slice! Great staff. If I ever move out of the neighborhood, I'll journey to the Nook for a great cup and bite.“

“🥰Frieda: one of my most treasured places. I love its casual sophistication, delicious European-inspired food, and charming, considerate personnel.“

“I attended the Vegan Italian Dinner. It was wonderful! I greatly appreciate that the Front Street chef has made the effort to host these quarterly vegan dinner experiences. It is very clear that he put a lot of thought and effort into these special events. It was 4 courses, with wine pairing and the price was spectacular. Highly recommend!“

“Really awesome food! And great variety of gluten free and veg options.“

“yes....great place. chill. good food...and, of course, coffee...“

“Love the seXy Bartenders food is bussin“

“Our waiter, Logan was phenomenal! We celebrated my son’s 16th birthday and he made it ever bit of enjoyable. He was patient with our group as we waited for a last minute guest. My glass was never empty, he knew exactly what kind of drink I wanted and this man even brought me a chaser 😆. It was a wonderful evening thanks to him 😊. Of course, the food was great as always!“

“Cozy, welcome little neighborhood eatery in South Philly. Our party of 5 had both lunch and breakfasts. All were big hits! Pictures below was one of the specials-short rib grilled cheese. Should be a menu regular! It was fabulous! A generous serving so tender and great flavor. We’ll be back! A great find!“

“*4.5/5 Stars*

I recently discovered Good Karma Cafe and I'm hooked! This charming spot exceeded my expectations with its warm atmosphere, top-notch service, and delicious food.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, happily answering our questions about the menu. We indulged in their mouthwatering chicken sandwiches on sourdough bread, paired with refreshing lemonade and iced tea. The cozy back dining room, adorned with vibrant art and lush greenery, made for a pleasant dining experience.

Their breakfast and brunch menu boasts an array of tempting options, making me eager to return. Standouts include the Colonel Mustard sandwich and almond croissant.

Good Karma Cafe excels in:

- Friendly, attentive staff
- Beautiful decor
- Excellent selection of hot and cold beverages
- Tasty sandwiches and pastries
- Ample seating
- Convenient WiFi and water for customers

Minor drawbacks:

- Limited outdoor seating
- Coffee (large latte) was bitter and milk was over-steamed (though smoothies were great!)

Overall, Good Karma Cafe is an ideal spot for a satisfying breakfast or lunch. I'll definitely be back for more!

“I'm visiting this city for the first time. Locals highly recommend this local coffee shop. It is definitely a local vibe. I much prefer Passeros than Starbucks. The character of this little shop is 100% original and definitely shows Philadelphia love.“

“Our waitress was the sweetest and they have some really unique menu items. I’d say their sweet choices are better than the savory but we enjoyed everything we had. Cornbread French toast was particularly sublime! The French press Kona coffee was a great start to the day. My one small complaint was the cleanliness of the dishes. My coffee mug had a visible red lipstick stain, my water glass had food particles on it and one of my plates was dirty. Just a small critique there. The space is nice open and not stuffy. And I noticed a good amount of foot traffic overall!“

“I have celiac disease and was at a medical conference in the conference center above Reading Market. Having celiac disease makes dining out that conference is an adventure. The staff were very helpful courteous. The food came quickly and was hot. I would recommend trying a corn dog as well as the poutine.“

“what a great place with delicious drinks and a wonderful tour.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Coriander in Voorhees for the first time, and it was an amazing experience. The Paneer Lababdar was flavorful and rich, perfectly complemented by the Goat Cheese Naan, which was absolutely delicious. The warm, inviting atmosphere was enhanced by Harman, the owner, who was not only delightful but also incredibly welcoming. As someone who works nearby at Voorhees Pediatric Dentistry, I’m thrilled to have found such a fantastic spot. I will definitely be returning often, both with my staff and my family, to enjoy more of the incredible food and hospitality at Coriander. Highly recommended!“

“Absolutely the best Chinese food in the area. 5 Stars. Peter has the freshest, most delicious food in the area. My husband and I highly recommend a visit. You will NOT be disappointed.“

“The best Thai food in Philly. Wow. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and this has to be the best peanut sauce I’ve ever had in my life. The service was so lovely and Tori (the server/owner) went as far as to give us advice for how best to reheat/cook our leftover curries. I’m coming back to finish trying the whole menu!“

“My sister and I dined here for Christmas din er. It was absolutely amazing. Your restaurant is beautiful and the food was phenomenal. The wait staff were amazing. I will recommend your restaurant and will definitely be dining here again. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“

“The service is good but the busers are aggressive when one person is still eating you might want to tell your Hispanic buser not to come and interrupt the meal to clear plates away when the dining room is nearly empty that's why we don't come on Christmas Eve they damn near throw us out“

“Fantastic menu options, something for everyone. Friendly owner. Fast service. Great location. Very reasonably priced. Happy to have this spot in the neighborhood.“

“Had the salted caramel doughnut bc my wife wanted a taste. Caramel is never MY first choice, but it was quite possibly the best pastry I’ve ever eaten.“
