Re: Berkeley & Oakland GF Friendly restaurants

Depending on how far you are from Whole Foods (27th and on), there's a Cafe Gratitude there.Melis B----- "blick48" <jsonnenblick@...> wrote: > > > > I'm newly diagnosed with CD.

Some places to try on Solano:

Ajanta (ask for Lachu)

House of Curries (ask which dishes have wheat etc)

Sweet Basil (they will make to order)

Cactus (just stay aware from flour tortillas and I think the jalapenos might not

be safe)

I emailed that new place where Jamba Juice used to be -- nature's express or

something like that -- she said they have some GF choices but didn't say what

they were, but that they were working on a menu.

I've eaten GF at Cafe Raj on lower Solano many times, just reiterate with staff

" no flour " . Da Nang, around the corner on San Pablo has excellent

Thai/Vietnamese and understands when I say " no gluten, no flour, no soy sauce "

and I've been ok.

good luck!
