Springbone Kitchen: Gluten Free & Dairy Free Chicken Over Rice Halal Cart Style NYC


This one is for my celiac AND lactose-intolerant girls. No matter how much time passes, the way I crave street cart chicken over rice is unmatched. Nothing beats that smell walking down a busy NYC street. No matter how much of a rush I’m in, that scent alone will get me to slow down.

The Food

The best part? Everything here is 100% gluten-free. Sick, right?!

My Rec(s)

🍲 Chicken & Rice Soup – Perfect for a cold winter day.
🍛 Grandma’s Chicken & Rice Bowl – Comfort food at its finest.

If the chicken isn’t piping hot when I get it, I’ll sometimes ask for the sauces on the side and heat it up at home for that full effect.

Is it 100% the same as halal cart chicken? No. Is it close enough and completely safe to eat? Absolutely!

The Vibe

Fast-casual. Some locations have seating, but honestly, this is a grab-and-go spot for me—perfect for picking up dinner on the way home after a long day.

Overall Ratings

🍽 Taste: 9/10
🛑 Safety: 10/10
✨ Atmosphere: 8/10

If you’re craving halal-style chicken over rice but need it to be 100% gluten-free, this is your spot.

Maya NYC: Gluten free Margs & Tacos

Image
For a fun dinner spot with amazing margaritas, head to  Maya NYC . This place is perfect for a night out with the girls—great food, great drinks, and great music. The Food Plenty of gluten-free options, and for once, the menu is labeled with what  has  gluten instead of the other way around (love that for us). The chips are fried separately so  chips & guac can actually be on the table.  I would skip the salads here and head straight for the tacos here. My Rec(s) 🌮  Chicken & Al Pastor Tacos  – Both were phenomenal options packed with so much flavor. 🍹  Margaritas  – Made with fresh purées. My favorite was mango my least was the cucumber. There is only Tequila and Mezcal behind the bar so I felt safe with their shakers.  The Vibe Lively and fun dinner spot. The music and margs kept the energy up! Overall Ratings 🍽  Taste:  9/10 🛑  Safety:  10/10 ✨  Atmosphere:  9/10

Isabelle’s Osteria: Gluten Free Bottomless Brunch in NYC

Image
  If you’re looking for a bottomless brunch that won’t break the bank,  Isabelle’s Osteria  is a solid pick. For less than $25, you get unlimited mimosas or bellinis (entrees are separate), but don’t worry—they keep those refills coming  quick . The Food While the menu isn't labeled, the staff was very knowledgable about gluten free options. Anything fried is cross contaminated but there lots of options including eggs, steak, and pastas. Although, I would skip the steak now. My Rec(s) 🍝  Rigatoni Pomodoro (Gluten-Free Penne Substitute)  – This was amazing. The pomodoro sauce with red onion, eggplant, and pecorino just hit. Perfectly balanced flavors. We almost ordered another one! 🍨  Mango & Lemon Basil Sorbet  – Light and refreshing end to the meal. The Vibe Lively but not too loud. Music in the background was fun but you could easily hear a conversation. The crowd is a mix of different ages, which makes for a fun, balanced atmosphere. Over...

Thai Villa: Gluten-Free Pad Thai

Image
Let’s talk about the  ambience  because Thai Villa nailed it . The dim lighting, chandeliers, and elegant decor make it feel like a special night out. But when it comes to gluten-free options , the menu is very limited , so keep that in mind before booking. The Food I played it safe and went with the Pad Thai because the options were slim. It was good and definitely filling, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. The Vibe Absolutely stunning interior and perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Overall Ratings 🍽 Food: 7/10 🛑 Safety: 7.5/10 ✨ Atmosphere: 10/10

Tap Into TAP NYC: 100% Dedicated Gluten-Free Brazilian Food

Image
TAP NYC is a 100% gluten-free chain around the city. Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, you'll find something you'll absolutely love.  The Food Let’s talk about the cheese bread . It's honestly life-changing. For my lactose-intolerant girlies , this one is worth taking a Lactaid for. But if dairy is a no-go, the açaí bowls are a great option as well. I can personally confirm that every bite is worth the stomach ache my lactose-intolerant self will 100% be having after this. My Rec(s) 🔥 Spicy Cheese Bread – The superior choice 🥪 Mini Paninis – My favroties include the  Tomato & Mozzarella and the  Chicken Club if you need extra protein 🥤 Power Up Smoothie – Hold the protein powder because I can't do the chalky taste The Vibe Fast-casual with limited seating , so be ready to grab and go. Expect a crowd and sometimes a wait during peak lunch hours. Ordering pickup helps avoid the rush! P.S.  They let you bring your pup🐶 Overall Rati...

Serafina: A Gluten-Free Quick Pasta Fix in NYC

Image
  I can always count on passing by a Serafina for a quick lunch or a nice sit-down dinner. Pasta and Rosé? Say less! This is one of those spots I keep in my back pocket. The Food The menu is heavy on pastas and salads, most of which can be made gluten-free. They’re pretty accommodating when it comes to appetizers too, but there's  no gluten-free pizza here (which is tragic because that pizza oven made a statement). My Rec(s) 🥗 Kale Salad (No Croutons!) – Simple and fresh 🍝 Al Pacino Pasta – My favorite choice choice. And for my lactose-intolerant girlies? You can get this without cheese if you’re tired of basic tomato sauce or if you have IBS like me :)  The Vibe Classic, slightly upscale, but still casual.  Overall Ratings 🍽 Taste: 7/10 🛑 Safety: 9/10 ✨ Atmosphere: 8/10 Would I go out of my way for Serafina? Maybe not. But if I’m nearby and need a solid gluten-free pasta fix, this place never fails.

Agata & Valentina: A Gluten-Free Dream Come True

Image
A 100% gluten-free grocery store in NYC? Yep, it exists, and it’s even better than you’d imagine. If you’ve ever wandered the aisles of a regular grocery store, staring longingly at the bakery section, this place is your redemption arc. The Food They’ve got pasta straight from Italy , oven-baked Sweet Loren’s cookies , and an entire deli section with GF pizza, sandwiches, and baked goods ready to go. And when I say baked goods, I mean cannoli, croissants, and more —things I never thought I’d see again. Literal heaven. My Rec(s) 🍕 Pizza from the deli – Fresh, fluffy, and actually tastes like pizza 🥐 Croissants – Because when was the last time you had one? 🍮 Cannoli – Yes, really. The Vibe It’s a grocery store, so it's very grab and go. No seating perfect on the run. Overall Ratings 🍽 Food: 10/10 🛑 Safety: 10/10 ✨ Atmosphere:  n/a
