At University City, Doro Bet is renowned for its delicious fried chicken and vegan mushrooms, both of which are made with teff flour. This flour is also what makes injera so accessible to those with celiac disease. In honor of the co-owner's mother, Omer Taffet, who has celiac disease, he and his wife Natasha founded the bakery that bears his name to offer gluten-free breads and pastries. For those who prefer healthy desserts, Magic Bars is the perfect spot.
All of its ingredients - brown rice flour, chocolate chips, coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut, vanilla, and sea salt - are very clean. All of the sandwiches at Fishtown's café and market can be served on gluten-free rolls, and the green broth soup, pastéis de bacalhau (salted cod fritters), piri piri chicken, and DeOliveira salad are also gluten-free. Sister restaurant P'unk Burger on East Passyunk Avenue offers gluten-free rolls, burgers, sauces and dressings. It's a great 100% gluten-free option in Central Philadelphia for a quick and healthy lunch.

Kalaya is one of the busiest restaurants in Philadelphia and one of the most difficult reservations to book; it offers a mostly gluten-free menu with symbols on the menu to clearly designate its gluten-free dishes such as egg drop soup, dan dan noodles, and kung pao chicken.
