Went in November to meet a friend. Yes they have a gluten free menu. I have strong sensitivity to small traces of wheat, plus allergy to onion and garlic (fodmaps). I was able to order and loved the baba gannoush, hummus and Mediterranean salad. They also made a grilled salmon to order for me with just lemon salt and pepper, was tasty. I suggest you ask them to be extra careful like change gloves and use a fresh pan, etc. Did not throw up (my wheat exposure test), was delicious and would go back for fresh, housemade baba gannoush and hummus!

NOTE: As another reviewer noted, the rice that they serve has the little pieces of pasta in it. This is NOT gluten free. The waiter started to suggest and then corrected himself.

I’ve eaten here many times since being diagnosed with celiacs and never had a problem. The kabobs, med salad, quinoa tabouli (they replace bulgar with quinoa), hummus, and loubieh are my go-tos but they have a bunch more. Note they list lebneh on the menu as being topped with zataar but I haven’t confirmed if their zataar is truly GF (usually contains wheat at other places). Definitely a neighborhood favorite!

The food here was fantastic. I ordered the Thyme fries and a Mixed Green salad with falafel. It was delicious. They had a separate gluten free menu, as well as menus for dairy free, vegan, and vegetarian. We will be coming back!

At first, I got excited to see that they have a GF menu. However, they have couscous listed as the side that accompanies one of the proteins. That was very concerning. The rice that they serve is also the kind that has the little pieces of pasta in it. Their food is delicious, but you have to be very careful how/what you order. Ask questions. I have gluten intolerance, but not Celiac. I do live as though I have Celiac. I don't eat foods cooked in contaminated oil. None of their deep-fried food is safe to eat for Celiacs. I did ask before ordering and therefore, avoided them. My husband and I split the yummy baked halloumi cheese with pears and dates. Also, a goat cheese mixed green salad with lemon dressing, dates and oranges. Scallops and risotto and a mixed grill with chicken, beef and lamb. The food is good, but I couldn't give it higher stars on Find Me Gluten Free due to the fact that we're rating it as it relates to being knowledgeable on GF issues.
