Restaurants In Princeton, Nj Area?

I'm going to a conference in Princeton in October - does anyone know of any good restaurants in the area? I'll have a car, and I'll be staying in a hotel on Route 1 a bit north of Princeton. I do know the area a bit - I lived in Plainsboro for two years, but I didn't know about my food intolerances then, and I moved away over a decade ago, so I have no idea what's there now. (As I recall, the restaurant scene in general was pretty bleak then - I hope it's improved!) Thanks much for any suggestions!

There are numerous Indian restaurants in the area that have gluten-free food. Crown of India in the Princeton Meadows Shopping Center is near where you will be staying.

PF Chang's is a few miles south on Route 1 at the Market Fair Mall. (Trendy Chinese restaurant with a gluten-free menu available on request; gluten-free dishes prepared in a dedicated part of the kitchen.)

Blue Point Grill on Nassau Street in Princeton (near Jay's Cycle Shop) is a seafood restaurant that has many menu items prepared without glutenous ingredients.

Tom Yum Goong is a Thai restaurant near the intersection of Nassau Street and Harrison Street with curries that are safe and also Pad Thai. I'm unsure about some of their other entrees prepared with rice; if you go there make sure that you are not ordering anything with soy sauce.

You can get sushi at the Teriyaki Boy in the food court at Forrestal Village, but you'll need to supply your own wheat-free soy sauce.

Thanks very much! I'll only be there for three nights, so that should be plenty to keep me fed. :)

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
