Best food in town honestly. I have celiacs and eat here at least once a week. Not sure what the negative reviews are all about because the staff is always awesome.

While visiting from out of time, we decided to stop here based on their website and reviews. We all (party of 6) were really disappointed. Honestly, we should have walked out shortly after arriving as the gentlemen at the counter were impatient and acted inconvenienced for just inquiring about gluten free options. Gluten free options were EXTREMELY limited. The salad that I did have was good, but no one in our party was satisfied and were disappointed so we went elsewhere.

They have many GF offerings, but my meal tested positive for gluten on my Nima. I don’t recommend this place for those with Celiac disease.

The owner was busy cooking away in the back so never had a chance to talk to her, but the person who took my order went back to ask about if a certain menu item I wanted to try could be made GF. As someone who is GF and vegetarian, this place was amazing! I had a sweet potato fatayer with quinoa and rice on the side, it was so good and flavorful! I have celiac and I had no reaction to it, I definitely plan to come back next time I’m in the area! (And as someone who doctors in Sioux falls, I’m there quite a bit!)

Stopped by with my family on our way through because of all of the great reviews. Only a couple gluten free options. They were both fine, nothing spectacular. Kids liked the chicken, I preferred the beef entree. NO gluten free bread available - was so hoping for hummus and pita

Sanaa's is one of my favorite places to eat. I love the Friday and Saturday evening buffets. All items are marked GF or Vegan. There was only one item on the buffet that was not gluten free! Request the gluten free bread and Sanaa herself will bring it to you fresh and hot. It's now a wonderful yummy soft flatbread. Sanaa has written a gluten free recipe book and recently appeared on the Food Network on Beat Bobby Flat.

This place is fantastic. Meals though are around 10 so I would give it more than one $. Well worth the price there for filling, quality food. My favorite so far is the spinach and walnut fatayer, gluten free!

We were passing through on a road trip west and found Sanaa's via a Gluten Free App. What a find! The owner Sanaa ( trained in France and Italy ) and brings her Middle Eastern / Mediterranean heritage to the fore. Beautifully fresh and healthy food, prepared with dedication and care by staff under her leadership who know all about celiac's needs as other allergies. A large part of the menu is GF and dairy free. If you care about your health and love vibrant and varied good choices this is the place to go. Sanaa, thank you for making our stay in Sioux Falls even better and for your passion for food that is GF.

Excellent food! Gracious and kind staff. The gluten free bread is kind of like a deflated quinoa cookie-which makes it a little bitter. But I appreciate her use of whole grains.

Exceptional food prepared using fresh and healthy ingredients. There are lots of GF options. You can speak to owner Sanaa herself - she is usually buzzing around the front of the house during lunch rush. She is happy to explain the Middle Eastern dishes and make suggestions. Highly recommended!

I love eating at Sanaa's! I've never been ill after eating there. Sanaa is so knowledgeable and careful with food allergies. The service is great, and I like the taste of Mediterranean cuisine. Prices are reasonable and the Friday evening Buffet is excellent. I especially like the Chicken Shish Tawook.
