Its all halal too which is a huge bonus 🥳 I'm just being greedy but I wish the portions were a bit bigger, otherwise 9/10 will come back for sure

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came here with a friend and got the set meal and was definitely worth the money. Favourite dishes: corn elotes, chargrilled salad, cheesy scallops, and slow cooked brisket. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout the meal!

Canapes and Cocktails, All 100% Gluten Free

Cocktail parties usually mean a mix of canapes, shared plates, and drinks passed around a room, which makes dietary needs easy to overlook. Onda closes that gap completely. Our kitchen is fully gluten-free and Coeliac Australia accredited, so every canape and share plate on the menu is safe for the whole guest list.

Every ingredient and preparation step is independently verified, removing cross-contamination risk entirely. Guests can drink, mingle, and eat freely, without asking what’s in each dish

What Makes Onda Stand Out for a Cocktail Party

A fully gluten-free kitchen, Coeliac Australia accreditation, bold Latin American flavour, and a distinctive setting in Richmond and Fitzroy give Onda an edge over a standard cocktail venue.

A Fully Gluten-Free Cocktail Party

Every canape, share plate, and cocktail served at your event is 100% gluten-free, so no guest is left checking labels or asking questions.

Coeliac Australia Accredited

Onda's kitchen holds official Coeliac Australia accreditation, independently verified down to every ingredient, so coeliac guests can enjoy the night without concern.

Latin American Cuisine
