Awesome food. I ordered through DoorDash. Celiac was an option to mark when ordering (for gluten free food). Great options.

We visited this quaint restaurant. My daughter said the fries were best ever- gluten free fryer so no worries. I enjoyed the special bowl and she had a rice bowl. Lots of great food and no worries about celiac!

Delicious and filling! Knowledgeable staff. Let them know you have celiac when ordering. The only gluten is in the pita bread that is baked elsewhere. They “cater to many people with food sensitivities and allergies.” There are several dietary menus for different allergies/preferences and a dedicated GF fryer! There are a few meat options in addition to falafel. I enjoyed my curry falafel with rice plate. Can’t wait to go back!

The food was great at the Foxy Falafel. The kitchen is GF with the exception of pita bread which is made outside the restaurant. They flagged my ticket as celiac and had celiac protocols in the kitchen. I ate with a friend who is vegan and we both had lots to choose from and thoroughly enjoyed our meals!

Amazing GF cheese curds (makes my Sconnie heart happy)!! They are super careful about dietary needs and ask whether or not you have celiac when ordering and then mark your takeout boxes with a “C”. The only thing on the menu that isn’t GF is the pita bread , but 95% of the menu is GF and they keep the pita separate from everything else. Highly recommend the stoplight platter so you can sample all 3 of their signature falafel flavors!

What a treat! I had the rice bowl with the stoplight falafel and green tahini sauce, which was stellar. The curry falafel had a very warm spice to them and added great flavor to the rice bowl! We also ordered the cauliflower steaks- I literally licked the togo box clean. The saffron aioli takes the dish to the next level and adds amazing umami flavor! I am gluten and dairy free and had an excellent experience. It was so nice to be able to order right off the menu and not have to ask for any substitutions.

When ordering online , there is an option to click Celiac to alert them that they need to take extra care with your food. All items that are gluten free are clearly marked on the menu.

The celiac orders were clearly marked. All of the food was hot and delicious! This was the best chicken schwarma I have ever had, and the preserved lemon rice is divine!

Well labeled menu. Dedicated fryer with fries and cheese curds. Most items are GF. Many vegan and vegetarian options, very easy with dairy free! GF/DF and GF beer options.

Celiac, have eaten here many times and not gotten sick. When ordering online for curbside there’s a celiac button to mark on your order: they’ll put celiac food in a different bag than the rest of your family’s food, very safe with cc.

I was disappointed in Foxy Falafel considering all of the great reviews it gets here. At my previous 2 visits I ordered the combo plate, choosing gluten-free corn chips over the pita bread option. I also specified my "allergy" to gluten while ordering. Both times, the plate came with pita bread on it. The wait staff was polite and helpful both times, when I had to request an entirely new plate rather than just the removal of the pita, but why is this happening at a typically very celiac-safe place? After one time, I was willing to dismiss it, but after two, it makes me pause before returning.

Delicious gluten free options (almost everything on their menu). They have one container of hummus for people ordering pita, and one that's completely GF. There are corn chips available so you can still dip. They have a dedicated fryer. And the food is really yummy!

FF is in my neighborhood so I eat there about once a week. Almost everything there is GF. There are lots of delicious options, including the rice bowls, cauliflower steaks, cheese curds and brownies. Bonus points for this business being progressive, involved in the community and able to accommodate other dietary needs like AIP, DF and vegan/vegetarian.
