Review of Ambar Capitol Hill

523 8th St SE, Washington, DC 20003

Overall Rating

Review


I have eaten here several times without issue. It is not a gluten free kitchen so make sure to tell your server you are celiac but they take allergies very seriously. Most of the menu is available with a gluten free option. Occasionally, the chef will come out too to reassure you about the precautions they will take. It looks like one reviewer felt that they were exposed which is unfortunate but I think that it is unusual for that to happen (but still not impossible). Overall, I feel very comfortable going here again
