Great food with easy to find gluten free menu items. There is no separate gluten free menu, however. Substitute the bread for vegetables for the dips. Even after telling the waiter that I had a severe gluten allergy, they still tried to serve bread to the table, but were very apologetic afterwards. There was a small upcharge for the veggie substitution.

This is a tasty restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Half my family is Lebanese and I think the food is very good. A variety of items are marked gf. Every time I’ve been here, the staff is not very friendly or accommodating, so I have had to really emphasize the glove change to feel safe. However, the food was always delicious and I have never felt unwell. A definite repeat, but be insistent with communication even if the server does not seem interested in engaging.

Been here recently and they were very attentive and I felt fine. Went on Friday afternoon and the waiter seemed totally checked out. I’m certain he didn’t tell the kitchen I’m celiac because I found a piece of naan in my salad and I’ve been bedridden with a high fever for three days now.

Delicious Lebanese food, with items clearly marked on the menu. Had kababs which are gf other than the rice pilaf, but they substituted for spiced rice. My friend (who is not gf) had a bunch of the apps and said they were excellent. Highly recommend! Didn’t ask about fryer as wasn’t eating anything from there.
