Niche Gluten-free Dining

Great gluten free restaurant. Went for a Sunday roast and wasn’t disappointed. The focaccia to share for the table was fantastic, you wouldn’t know it was gluten-free bread. Only downside to the menu would be slightly lacking in vegan options, but great that they do a low FODMAP menu too. Lovely touch to do a birthday dessert as well.

100% gluten free. Such yummy food. If you are anywhere near this restaurant and are gluten free you should try it! Make a reservation though - although they were still offering outside tables for non-bookings. Wine was also delicious.

We went to Niche on a week night. The place was practically empty which made it cozy for my husband and I. Although it is a nice restaurant it doesn’t require a dress code. I specifically went to Niche because I’m gluten intolerant. In addition to my intolerance to gluten I have an allergy to another ingredients as well. They were able to accommodate. The appetizer, main meal and desserts were delicious. We totally recommend it. I ordered a soup as a starter, pan fried fish with vegetables for the main and a gf and dairy free chocolate cheesecake for dessert. My husband ordered a chicken pot pie for the main and limoncello tiramisu.

So first they forgot my drink. I had to ask to get it. The food came relatively quickly but the burger buns were burnt on me and my sister (see photo) and the pattie was completely burnt and dry even though I ordered it differently. I told the waitress that mine was burnt and she took it back to the kitchen (including my cutlery). I got my new portion very quickly (but my ColeSlaw salad was exactly the same (half empty). The new burger bun was okay but the meat was overcooked again. As mentioned above the waitress took my cutlery so now I had no cutlery and had to look for a waitress again to be able to eat. The bill came very quickly but we weren't asked how we wanted to pay and the waitress ran off again straight away. We still had to pay the service charge despite the poor quality. To summarise, I expected something better for the price. I would not recommend going there. I can not say how the ambiente was inside because we sat outside of the restaurant.

This was the most incredible meal. We celebrated my daughter’s 14th birthday here and it could not have been more perfect. For the first time in her life she could eat literally everything on the menu. The staff went out of their way to be amazing, and O. M. G. The food was spectacular. 20/10 we will nyom here again

Wonderful experience and perfect for a special occasion. The number of choices for someone who has to steer clear of multiple allergens were fantastic and my non gluten-free partner loved every bite. The millionaire's cheesecake was a particular hit (not pictured as there wasn't any left by the time we thought to take a photo)!

I visited for a birthday celebration and was so amazed! The service from the moment we walked in was exceptional. We ordered the sourdough, gnocchi, cheddar and Parmesan donuts, onion and onion rings. I am unable to eat garlic and all of the dishes were able to be made without which was Amazon! The food was absolutely amazing and it was so nice to be able to eat everything on the menu! After the meal, we were bought over two deserts as a birthday treat which was so lovely! The only issue, which is no one’s fault, is that there is only one toilet! Thankyou so much for making my birthday so special!

Absolutely delicious food! The atmosphere and service was wonderful, we truly felt so welcome. Such wonderful choice and as someone who loves food and isn't gluten free, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference if you asked me. So wonderful to go if you have allergies because you will be well taken care of. If you're reading this, you have to get the sunflower butter and white chocolate blondie because that was so so so delicious! 100% recommend making a reservation, it gets crowded very quickly so I wouldn't rely on getting a table as a walk in.

Charming dining place with an impressive gluten free menu. The Camembert appetizer was yummy and the cocktails were great.

The ambiance was beautiful , the restaurant was beautifully decorated and the waiters/hostesses made sure that guests where well taken care of. I ordered the donuts as a starter, they tasted more like a croquette with a very doughy interior and the tomato sauce was very sweet. However, the curry chicken pie was incredible! The crust was so flaky and held the delicious filling so well. I didn't bother eating the potatoes that came on the side, there was a similar issue with the sauce for them being way too sweet. Finally the waitress recommended to tiramisu for dessert and it was truly amazing, the perfect amount of sweetness and every aspect went so nicely together. Ive been gluten free for about 5 years, I'm a pretty decent home cook and have a high standard for gf food. I wouldn't say this restaurant exceeded my expectations but it was a pretty lovely night out. Since I'm from out of the country I don't know if I'll be returning but I recommend it to anyone visiting the area , the price point is fair and makes it more accessible, and it's definitely a treat to feel such a deep sense of safety when eating out.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I am gluten free and dairy free and allergic to oats and this place was FANTASTIC. My only critique is the service is a little slow but it's understandable as they send the food up on a little elevator and have a small space. I had the bread selection and it was hands down best gluten free dairy free oat free bread ive ever had. That is a must have. My mother (gluten free) had the short rib and loved it and my other party member who is neither gluten or dairy free had the gnocchi and said it was better than any regular dairy-gluten-full gnocchi he has ever had. Definitely would suggest this restaurant and its definitely worth the journey (15 minutes from the strand). I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this place! (dont wear long pants or jacket as its quite warm inside) I would add a photo but it quite literally looked so amazing i had to shove it in my face. This was my gluten free heaven. 100% coming back next time im in london.

Wow. I'm so used to settling for food, rather than having real choices. This place is excellent. Delicious food and friendly staff!!

Amazing!! Can not say enough about all the offerings. There were 4 of us and we got a large variety of the menu between us all. Everything was spot on for flavor and texture for those that find some gluten free items trying. AMAZINGGGG CAN NOT EVEN COMPLETE HOW AWESOME IT IS!!

Such a lovely little spot to enjoy a GF dinner. Every nice staff, delicious food, and chill vibe. I will be sure to come here the next time we're in London. This is a must visit for anyone GF, Period.

Our dinner at Niche was the best of our meals in London! With a Celiac son and another who's a picky eater, we typically worry about dining out (especially so far from America), but our experience at Niche was a unanimous vote for favorite. While it is always a boon to find a 100% gluten-free restaurant, finding one that also offers delicious options for the whole family and impeccable service in a warm and inviting space is like a gift that keeps on giving. We may have over-ordered out of excitement, but it was totally worth it. Our family of four enjoyed the Caesar salad and angel pate (a must-have!) for starters, followed by entrees of short ribs, steak Dianne, pan-seared cod, and breaded chicken (beloved by even our fussiest eater). We also devoured the mac-and-cheese side dish and rounded out the meal with pecan pie and ice cream. It was a well-received meal after long walks admiring the Shoreditch street art, but also a gem of a dining experience from start to finish. If Niche ever finds its way to America, they can count on us to be loyal patrons.

Ate here for lunch today and it was a nice, cozy place a bit outside the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. The entire restaurant is gluten free and certified which was amazing to find. We ordered the sausage and mash and the hamburger. The burger and chips were super good and the sausage and mash (I got the smoky) was very smoky. Wish I ordered something else instead of the sausage and mash. We were too full to have dessert but the table next to us seemed to really enjoy their crumble and brownie. Overall, we would definitely return again!

Always lovely to find a place where the a celiac girl can truly choose anything on the menu. Plus they've got a nice wine selection. Their Parmesan and Cheddar "doughnuts" are to die for and it's always great to get gluten-free fried chicken! Honestly, I usually just get appetizers when I go! Their entrees are ok but not as delicious as the appetizers and much more expensive. If you're in London and gluten-free it's a must!

good! staff are so nice. bread isn't that great though & a lot of the gluten free items aren't altered gluten free versions of an item, but the item without bread. ie pigs in a blanket is just sausage wrapped in bacon

Gluten free heaven for the two coeliacs in our party, and pretty good food in its own right. Unfortunately white gluten free bread just isn't as good as the glutinous stuff, but their Parmesan doughnuts were still tasty. Do not recommend the raspberry coconut blancmange. Almost all of it was left uneaten. Chocolate tart was quite good though.

We were visiting from California, I have celiac with a dairy allergy and the staff was awesome! The restaurant was a little out of our way, but totally worth the trip. I highly recommend for great service and incredible food, I was even able to have a desert! Thank you for a great time!

Fantastic modern all gluten free British food. Absolutely delicious sausage and mash (topped with fried onion rings) and the passionfruit cheesecake for dessert was amazing. The non-Celiacs in our group were raving about it for days too!

Couple of highlights: it's gluten free (although it's not that obvious from the food), good highlighting of vegetarian/vegan/lacto-vegetarian on the menu, and possibly the best part - they pay their staff the London living wage. Portions were pretty decent sized, and all really tasty...although they lost a star for their attentiveness (even if they were cute). Will definitely be coming back for more.

I don't know how I've stayed in the dark about this place. A friend of mine found it and since our meal there I haven't stopped thinking about it. The entire menu is gluten free and they're definitely pretty clued up on food intolerances and allergies. The menu is vast and definitely has something for everyone. The chicken burger is absolutely delicious, though next time I'm desperate to try the fried chicken. Their desserts too.... the chocolate brownie which is warm enough to melt in your mouth... I can't even describe how good it is! Amazing! The waiter we had was a little weird and kept trying to convince us to buy everything else on the menu, but aside from that this place is my new favourite place to eat in London. I can't wait to take more and more people there and eat more and more brownie.

It's been a long while since a cheap and cheerful Thai restaurant occupied this location. It was always packed and the obvious choice for a quick meal before or after a visit to Sadler's Wells. There is now a great choice of restaurants in walking distance to the theatre, and Niche does a good job positioning itself as the pre-theatre choice with a special pre-theatre menu. This includes a starter and a main for £16. A bit of a shame when you prefer dessert as a second course - it starts getting expensive when you add it all together ... I think you probably get a feeling of better value in winter when pies and bangers and mash are a more attractive option. The summer choices are basically salads. I went for the superfood one which was OK, just OK, which is actually very disappointing. If you follow my reviews you know that I am an absolute sucker for a good salad bar, and I've munched my way through a mountain of superfoods over the years. This one reminded me of the mixed salads at Pizza Express where you always get the exact same number of tomato wedges and cucumber slices. The Niche superfood salad was basically a mount of lettuce leaves with a small-ish number of avocado, squash and feta pieces arranged around its edges. I didn't even recognise the quinoa as it was sprinkled sparingly on top rendering it tasteless. The dressing seemed to consist of lemon juice only. This is the sort of salad that makes you feel good for being healthy in the old-fashioned healthfood store sense - eating for function rather than fun. The starter was the opposite as I opted for a basket of deep fried cheese balls. They weren't actually very cheesy but tasty enough. Not quite sure what else they contained as the restaurant is famously gluten free. Having not finished my greens (defeated by those lettuce leaves), I needed some sweet comfort. Treacle tart, cheese cake and something chocolately all sounded tempting enough but ice cream won out on one of the year's hottest days - the salted caramel variety was delicious. I will probably come again, on a cold night, to gorge on all the greasy foods. Hopefully by then staff have got the pre-theatre service ethic down to a T - it's a bit annoying having to repeatedly call them over when it should be obvious you're on a schedule ...

I'd been traveling all day & stopped here for dinner. The place had a very cozy, warm atmosphere. I had the Superfood salad. It was a much larger portion than I imagined & it was filled with a mix of tasty veggies, quinoa and greens that really hit the spot! I only wish I would have had room for dessert! :)

Very busy. Make a reservation if you plan to eat here. People showing up are often turned away as it's a popular spot and doesn't have much room. They don't have a permit for outside, so you can only drink outside, not eat. The cheddar donuts were amazing so do yourself a favor and order double. The gnocchi was okay, it needed more of a sauce or flavor. They were a bit gummy, and had too much mushroom.

Absolutely AMAZING food and staff!!!!!! From the variety of delicious food options to the amazing hospitable servers and manager that made us feel like family and home away from home. I wish I lived in London because I would be frequenting this gem restaurant!!!! A big thank you to Simone and Michael who made our last night in London amazing and memorable!!!! Nicolle and Stephanie adore you both!!!!!

I went to Niche before we went to a performance to a performance at Sadler's Wells. Nice general British food to catch as you're passing by. I wouldn't go out of my way to travel here, nor would I plan on catching up with friends at Niche. It is a good place to go to before a performance as it's so close. My suggestions to the restaurant would be to increase their diversity in the food and wine list.

Located right next to Sadler's Wells Dancer Theater, it is a natural choice for a pre-theater quick bite. It is actually quite cute on its own right with big windows and clean white furniture, occupying a street corner. It is a bakery as well, so you can find quiche and pies as the main offerings. The menu is quite British and I found it a bit hard to find items that I would like to have since I wasn't too hungry. I settled on a salad with goat cheese on toast. It was really delicious with two generous pieces of lightly roasted goat cheese on warm toast. I will definitely order it again next time I come to Sadler's Wells

We came here as a family for the GF menu. The food was very good, but service was soooo slow. Would not recommend for parties over 5 as you get seated in the front area which is where they wash the dishes so feels a bit like you are eating in the dish room.

I really love this cafe. I found it by chance while walking to the Angel tube from Clerkenwell and am so glad I stopped in. What was meant to be a one hour visit max turned into almost 4 hours. It was easy to get a table and I enjoyed a few coffees while working. There are big windows so there's a lot of natural light, free wifi and a very friendly staff. They didn't rush me at all and made me feel very welcome. I learned that this is also a gluten-free restaurant and will definitely check it out for food! Also, it's really close to the Angel tube, but not down on the main drag, so I feel like this is a hidden gem. I will definitely come back!

The food was incredible!!!! If you are gluten-free or not it is the best place to eat in London!!! I had the Beef & Chorizo pie with a spicy Vegetable fritter for starter and onion rings on the side. If you have to be gluten- free and miss your steak and Guinness pie, worry no more; the Beef & Chorizo pie is a great substitution. The Spicy Vegetable fritter was to die for good and the onion rings are fresh and battered their, no frozen onion rings and no guilt for eating gluten. My husband had the burger; the bun was incredible and the coleslaw was flavored of buttermilk, garlic and onions. Don't miss it! Or any other guilty pleasure you've been without by being gluten-free. I highly recommend that it is worth the trip!

This was probably my best dining experience ever!! I loved the diverse menu and the fact I could simply go in and order like a normal person was such a wonderful experience!! I actually went back the next night for two visits on a 3 day trip. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in London.

Fried chicken, turkey pie, quiche, sweets and fresh salads all delicious. A Mecca for celiacs and coeliacs (those Brits and their spelling). Cheerful owner and team. It's a small place so book ahead.

Do yourself a favor if you're in London and go here for dinner. My wife and I were taken here by a friend, and if you're vegan/vegetarian or gluten intolerant, you'll love this place. And if you're not any of those things, you'll still love this place because they do have meat dishes. The staff is very friendly, and the service is great. The food? Fantastic. There's a theater next door, so try going when a play is being performed and you'll avoid the post-play crowd. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We will definitely go back next time we're in London.

Had pre-theater dinner last night with a friend. To start off, the host was friendly, a nice (and shocking!) development in London. I got the superfood salad for £12. A mix of broccoli, sprouts, slivered carrots, feta cheese and greens (I may be missing something). It was a heaping portion and they kindly followed my instructions to put the dressing-olive oil- on the side. That being said £12 is still a bit pricey for salad! It was good, not fantastic. My friend had the goat cheese salad with raspberry sauce and figs. She liked it much. We each had a glass of the house white- a Portuguese vinho branco that was a perfect balance between sweet and dry.

I wouldn't waste your time, staff are pretty rude, and what place does bookings for breakfast...? It was half empty... Many better options!

Rude service. They rudely refused to seat me as a party of one, despite having several small tables open. Ate elsewhere, and after finishing, the restaurant was still nearly empty. Bizarre.

Today my cousin and I visited Niche at 5 p.m, after Sadlers Wells, to see if we could get tea and a cake. We were offered bar stools to sit on so we asked if there were normal seats. A young man offered us a table but the North American member of staff said we could not have drinks only so we made a speedy exit. We thought that this person was most unhospitable towards us and we will certainly not give it another go! Can't imagine how it got trip advisor a d other recommendations if the welcome to others was like we experienced. At the time there were only four customers in the whole restaurant. Didn't he want our custom?

AMAZING! I love food, but i don't usually write reviews. This restaurant was too good not to share. Service was impeccable. Food was absolutely spectacular. i'm not a celiac but my mother is. I thought the food was beyond phenomenal!!!! And my mother could eat everything. Starters: GREAT. Mains: GREAT. Dessert: GREAT!!!! INCREDIBLY AMAZING

I had a wonderful meal here last week. I would not have known the food was Gluten free if not for the notices on the menu. The quality of the food was outstanding, the best GF meal I have had in several years, US or UK. I loved the chicken liver parfait while my daughter was raving about the parmesan doughnuts. For mains, we had the pork escalope and the gnocchi, both of which were delightful. I also thought the onion rings were superb. For deserts we tried the rum raisin pudding, chocolate orange brownie, and passion fruit cheesecake. I would order all three again with pleasure.

I have been once before and I would have said decent things about the food. Today I went in with two other moms and three prams at 1130am. The restaurant was completely empty but we were told we could not bring the prams to a table. We could not move a table together to accommodate prams, nothing was possible. They would rather us leave then give them some business. We were in shock to be turned away so rudely from an empty restaurant. We came across the street to 'The Gate' restaurant and have been very generously accommodated! We will not be returning to Niche.

Nice atmosphere and good service. However, the food for brunch was only okay. The Eggs Benedict were over-poached, with too much and too thick hollandaise that overpowered the rest of the dish.

As a family with celiac we sought out Niche and we're delightfully surprised by the meals. The chicken was amazing and the sausage and mash also very good.

Tasty food, not so great service. The superfood salad was okay, but the apple and blackberry crumble was really good! There are still a lot of things I want to go back and try seeing that there are many vegan options which is normally hard to find (vegan and gluten free).

Nice little place off the beaten track in islington that serves locally sourced produce. Had the Victorian sausages which were delicious. The humous was also tastey! Great value with the taste card!

Absolutely Amazing! For starters the restaurant is adorable, so warm and welcoming, service was fantastic, OK the food... So very delicious! We need one in the states. And to make it even better. EVERYTHING is GLUTEN FREE

We stopped for an impromptu lunch which turned into brunch before the theatre at sadlers well. Staff were a bit hectic even though the place wasn't full. We ended up ordering eggs benedict and scrambled eggs. All the meals were delicious and the eggs were golden yellow. Yum! We also had a cheeky bottle of proseco. They didn't have the type we ordered so they substituted it for a better quality one (no complaints!) but only charged us for the one we originally ordered. Overall great place to have a treat before the theatre.

Absolutely wonderful in all aspects. I have celiac and traveling abroad can be very difficult at times. I ended up in London after a few weeks and stumbled upon this restaurant- what an amazing surprise! I tried about half the menu and still can't pick a favorite. To top it off, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Perfect way to end my travels, and absolutely recommend to anyone who has food allergies (they are accommodating to most) or otherwise!
