TwentyOneGrains – Downtown Brooklyn

TwentyOneGrains is a fast-casual dining destination located within the DeKalb Market Hall in Downtown Brooklyn. Founded by Valerio Arena, a former maitre d' at a Michelin-starred restaurant who was inspired to create a safe dining space following his own celiac diagnosis, the establishment is built entirely around the concept of providing high-quality, nutrient-dense meals that are 100% gluten-free. The atmosphere is energetic and convenient, catering to busy professionals and visitors looking for healthy, reliable nourishment in the heart of the city.

The menu focuses on fresh, wholesome ingredients, offering a variety of signature grain bowls, vibrant salads, and wraps. Because the entire kitchen is dedicated to gluten-free preparation, guests can enjoy items like fried mac and cheese balls or hearty protein-packed bowls without the anxiety of cross-contamination. The restaurant is highly regarded by the celiac community for its commitment to safety and flavor, making it a standout choice for those with strict dietary requirements who do not want to compromise on the quality or variety of their dining experience.
