This is an Egyptian/Moroccan grill, not exactly BBQ, it’s better. Almost everything can be made GF and it’s marked on the menu. And they have a gluten free fryer for fries! I had the Egyptian Orka Lamb Tajine and sweet potato fries. The food was to die for!

I had a great experience (food was delicious) the waiters are not the greatest (just always busy and cannot come and check on you) but they DO understand the gluten allergy and the seriousness of it. The kabobs were safe, their vegan pasta was also safe, even their french fries have a dedicated frier and were safe. Everything was delicious and I did not get sick

Food was really good, but my daughter was glutened. The waitress was not the friendliest so not sure if she just didn’t care or if it was the kitchen.

I’ve been wanting to try for years. We have a condo not to far. Checked the website multiple times and decided to go tonight. When I pulled up they were closed. Also website says a different name to the restaurant. I’m really confused. Tried calling the phone number and they didn’t answer 🙁 Update…this is the email I got from chef shabo. So please tell me how people are here just recently. I’m so confused… Hello Amy! Sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience! Unfortunately me, Chef Shabo, I’m not related to the restaurant in downtown Hollywood anymore, it was sold and currently under new management. I’m truly sorry you didn’t have a chance to try my gluten free food, but I believe they might have some options still on the menu for you. This website belongs to my private chef services and catering. The restaurant I used to owe is under rebranding and I believe they are called Ocean Bar and Grill on the media platforms.
Most of the menu are gluten free 😘

I only have good things to say about this restaraunt. The menu is clearly marked with everything that is available gluten free or with the option of gluten free. There are a ton of options by the way, including gluten free bread, wraps, pitas and buns! The chef was very educated in gluten free items and my husband even ordered a gyro (which is not gf) and she was knowledgeable and thoughtful enough to have the waitress come out and let us know.
I got a chicken shwarma wrap and it was absolutely amazing. What was even more amazing was the gluten free lava cake, filled with Nutella and served with ice cream. WOW. I haven't had a proper lava cake in years and it almost brought tears to my eyes.
The prices are very reasonable and inside is very clean and nice looking. The waitresses were all very kind and happy to answer all of our questions.
I highly recommended Shabo's to my gluten free friends.
PS. They also have American cuisine like cheeseburgers and Philly cheese steak/chicken for us picky folks ;)

So happy I found this place! Everything tasted fresh and full of flavors, so many items to choose from. Clean establishment and friendly service. I enjoyed my gluten free linguine with creamy coconut sauce, mushrooms and spinach. The taste was so good that I’m still craving about it. A must try! I’ll be back!

Going here for years, always enjoyed safe food for me and my child’s diet, just clarifying always to a staff about food allergies we have. Menu very clearly labeled, so you can always understand what to choose from. Love new addition on the menu Coconut Mushrooms Linguine that is vegan and gluten free. Love the gluten free lava cake (has butter)

Great food! I went to this restaurant a year ago and they were knowledgeable about cross contamination. I ordered a chicken shawarma gf wrap and it was great. Yesterday I ordered the same on doordash and although the flavor was good, the wrap was very difficult to eat because the entire bottom half was soaked in the oils. I also ordered tzatziki they forgot to add but the flavor was still good though. Will definitely go back but only for dine in.

Great experience! Waitress was knowledgeable about allergies. I got a salad with chicken on the side and sweet potato fries. The fries took a little longer but I didn’t mind because I knew they were safe! Great meal and felt totally fine afterwards. Very sensitive to CC, so all in all a wonderful experience.
Yes
All of the reviews are spot on. The menu clearly lists items that can be made gluten free and it is practically the entire menu!
I chose the gyro platter and got a huge portion for my money.
I did not experience a reaction and will absolutely be back when I’m in town again!
Very good. Be clear about GF. I explained I have an allergy but we all eat gluten free and the others didn’t get gf pita. They exchanged it once we explained. Just poor. communication on my part.

Incredible restaurant! I had emailed them prior to dining because I was going to be in the area on vacation and have gluten, soy and shell fish allergies. They had many options and the chef came out to speak to us. The food and service were wonderful!

So many options for gluten free lovers
Great restaurant and host, but they mixed up more order and brought it out on a gluten pita after I repeatedly stated I had a severe allergy. The chef took it off the gluten pita and put it on the gluten free pita and sent it back. The waitress seemed to realize this was an issue, but still served it to me.
Great food, but not for Celiacs.
No
Amazing! Best Middle Eastern food I’ve had outside of the Middle East! Everything is freshly made from quality ingredients. You can taste the care that goes into each and every dish - which are ALL homemade! Wow. Just wow. Thank you Shabo for putting some much love into such delicious GF food!
Yes
Great place! Everything was delicious. They have an extensive menu where almost everything is gluten free or can be made gluten free. They have a dedicated kitchen space. My celiac daughter had chicken kabobs with grilled veggies and rice and she was in heaven. They even have a gluten free chocolate lava cake. I highly recommend this place.

The food was good, portions are small. Server was nice. Pricey.
Exceptional food. Many many things are gf. I had the sampler platter and bbq chicken. Very tender chicken, can't wait to try the ribs. Sampler platter had hummus, falafel (best I've had), gf pita that was good and satisfying, greek salad, stuffed grape leaves, baba ganoush. Yum! Husband didn't even complain it was all gf cause it was so friggin good.

The best gluten free food , you can anything from the menu as gluten free amazing
One of the best meals we've ever had! Staff was knowledgeable about GF, and put us to ease. I recommend the barbeque chicken with Shabo's potatoes. And the hummus was amazing!
Yes
The server was really nice, but she was new there and we had a big language barrier when we tried to communicate with her, so that was difficult. Eventually we figured out that they have a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items. Also they have gluten-free tortillas -- an ordinary supermarket brand, nothing fancy, but it meant that a gluten-free person could order a wider variety of items on their menu and substitute the gluten-free tortillas for pita bread.
My picky eaters ordered plain rice, which the server assured us was very plain. But when it arrived it was yellow-colored, and flavored with lots of spices (flavorful spices, not hot). I thought that it was amazing, but my picky eaters wouldn't touch it.
I ordered baba ganoj. I am allergic to yeast, so I could not eat the tortillas, so I asked if they could serve the baba ganoj with chopped veggies, such as carrots and cucumbers, the way a middle eastern restaurant back home in Michigan will do. The server said no, that was not an option. So I ordered a side of grilled veggies to go with it. Then, later, the kitchen staff (owners, I think) came out and talked to us, and they said that we could have had veggies, after all. And they didn't charge me for the grilled veggies. OH MY GOODNESS the grilled veggies were good!!! I am really glad that they had the miscommunication and I ended up with them, because I don't think I would have ordered them if we had communicated correctly, and the grilled veggies were the best part of my meal -- though the baba ganoj was excellent too. The grilled veggies tasted really fresh, and were cooked exactly to perfection. Yum!
Yes
The philly cheese was amazing. They put it in a gluten free wrap but if you ask you can get it in GF bread or pita. The Mahi-mahi was really good as well. They have a GF lava cake that was delicious!
The owner is very familiar with gluten free items and allergies. They have a separate fryer. Very friendly staff.

We got the grilled kebabs and split it. It came with rice. Very delicious.
