I ate here twice without any issues. GF dishes are cleary marked on the menu and the staff could distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.

Large gf menu with a great atmosphere. I had the lamb pan fried chefs special that was beautiful, I got gf bread as a starter that came in a different colour basket to my partners bread which was nice. Bread seemed to be out of a packet so glad it was free, wouldn't have paid extra for it. Staff were lovely and very attentive

Great food. Allergens marked on the menu. Not worth ordering the bread though- kind of dry and definitely not warm. Would still go back.

I ordered gluten free bread (only) and the server firstly came out with normal bread, 5 minutes later came out with gluten free bread and said ‘here is the gluten free one’ after I had started to eat the normal bread!! I was a little upset so left straight away after we tried to explain what had happened, it was quite stressful and unfortunately I was quite I’ll that night. Normally I would say it’s my fault however we didn’t order normal bread so not sure why they sent it out, I also explained at the staff how I was celiac, they seemed very helpful and it was just a mishap.

Wonderful Mediterranean (a lot of Turkish cuisine) which tasted excellent and there was plenty to choose from.

It’s rare to find things like gf koftes but they had this and more.

Great food and friendly staff.

Well-informed, friendly staff and lots of options for gluten free. I also informed about lactose free, was about to be given the version of a dish that did have lactose but before it was served to me the staff realised that it should've been lactose free and I received a completely redone dish (not just the lactose parts removed so it would still be cross-contaminated). This was during an extremely busy night, too!

Food is great, people are great, atmosphere is pretty cozy!

We had a good meal here. It was very busy on a Saturday night so I suggest making a reservation. Gluten free options are clearly identified on the menu and there are a LOT of them! I had lamb meatballs, which was delicious, as well as the cheese plate, and Hummus with gluten free bread. Service was nice. It's a little pricier than some of the other restaurants (about 90 EUR for 2 people with 1 glass of wine/1 beer, starters, and 2 main courses) but I feel it was worth it. Had a mix of locals and tourists.

Super nice Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant. The menu clearly indicates what is gluten free; I estimate about 3/4 of the menu. There is also gluten free bread. The dishes we had were super tasty. Owner and staff are very friendly. We will for sure be back.

Lovely restaurant, owner is gluten free and came to check on us many times to make sure everything was okay. Food was delicious. Artichoke salad was fresh and yummy. Chicken kebab was great, they told us not to get rice cage it contained gluten, offered potato instead.

We were here in June 2022. Fantastic experience. One of our favourite meals out the entire holiday. Gluten free was no issue at all and you were included in every part of the experience (gluten free bread baskets etc). Highly recommend having the chocolate mousse for dessert!

Great middle-eastern restaurant short walk from centre of Amsterdam. Highlight was the number of gf items available in the menu. I had shish kebab with rice, potatoes and veg. Friendly service. They had gluten free bread which wasn't the best but was fine for soaking up delicious sauces and dips.
