Giraffe - HOUNSLOW

Make sure to inquire about gluten-free buns before you wait in line for a table. I was informed that they don't offer any gluten-free options, but I managed to order a grilled chicken breast without the bun. However, the side salad was quite disappointing.

I tested positive for gluten using the Nima sensor, and the restaurant refused to accept my celiac dietary card. They claimed it wasn't necessary and seemed unfamiliar with what celiac disease is. Additionally, they could not guarantee that cross-contamination wouldn't occur, so I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone with celiac disease who wants to be extra cautious.

The restaurant offers a labeled breakfast called the "Gluten-Free Breakfast." It includes your choice of fried or scrambled eggs, mushrooms, beans, and pea shoots, along with gluten-free toast.

The staff was knowledgeable, and even though the menu was limited, the eggs Benedict on a gluten-free bun was excellent.

The staff was friendly and the service was quick, but claiming they have a gluten-free menu is a bit misleading! The main menu mainly features burgers and not much else. While you’d think you could order the fries, you can’t. They only inform you of this when you’re seated, and instead, they offer a green salad as a substitute at the same price. I don't think I'll be returning.
