Delicious food. Very accommodating and willing to inform me of several excellent choices for gluten free dining. Fabulous gluten free pita and vegetables offered for using with dips.

The food was good and the service was great. The chumus and whipped feta were delicious. The entrees were underwhelming. We had the duck special, the chicken and the steak. The steak was the best of the three.

After telling the waiter about my celiac, she pointed out everything on the menu that was gluten free- which was majority of the menu! We ordered the hummus and whipped feta, and they brought regular and gluten free pita. The GF pita was fresh and delicious. The waiter even brought more over when we ran out! For entrees we ordered the chicken and rice. These were also amazing! It was such a great experience and I am definitely going back.

You can request a GF menu that marks what isn’t GF and what can be made GF with substitutions. The waiters were friendly and double checked hen they didn’t know if something was safe for both food and drink. I was with gluten-eating friends so there was gluten at the table, but the waitress bringing our food always informed us what contained gluten so there would be no mistake.
