Last week I happened to come across a groupon deal for Cowboys and Turbans, a quirky fusion restaurant in Los Angeles only about 15 minutes from where I live. It’s uncommon for a groupon type deal to find somewhere I can eat, but I figured I would check out their menu online to see if they had gluten free options. And to my surprise, they had a LOT of options. I was stoked! So I bought the deal and went out the next day with a friend.
First off, we kind of thought we were lost. The restaurant is this amazing cute little place kind of stuck between some buildings, and is a little unassuming from the front. But once you walk in the doors, it’s awesome. The seating is outdoors and the setting is gorgeous. Eating here at night was DEFINITELY the right idea- the lighting and nice summer evening was heavenly.
But anyway on to the menu. They have a lot to offer for us gluten free folks! Our server Maggie was awesome and she helped me navigate exactly what I could have- and she gave me some great recommendations.
Including Indian pizza on gluten free dough! Of course that sounded intriguing so I had to get it! And… No photos but it was SO good. My dinner date had a curry dish with quinoa that he thoroughly enjoyed … And afterwards for dessert, there were multiple options I could have then, too! Let’s face it, it gets tiring to have flour less chocolate cake for the single option at a lot of places! Unfortunately they were out of one that I wanted to try (which means I just have to go back!) but I had the tapioca and my date had gelato. I tried both and YUM.
It’s not the cheapest but I think you’re paying more for the ambiance and experience and I am totally ok with that. I am seriously looking forward to going back again!
