Amazing every time. Good falafel, fries are absurdly good, and the lemon chicken soup is good for the soul. A weekly go-to!

After not coming here for about a year because I suspected they glutended me, I came back. Turns out, my intuition was true. This place glutens me. No amount of glove changing and precautions saved me.
Either way the food is good and the staff are nice. But the food is cross contaminated.

Everything is marked very clearly, including the sauces and such. The fryers are only used for the fries and the falafel, both of which are GF, so feel very comfortable eating here.
The chicken soup is great, and the bowls are sizeable.
Btw, the soft serve with the pistachio and honey... Yessss. You want that.

Lovely, well marked GF dishes. The falafel fryer is separate so the meal is super safe. Delicious food & really nice people.

2022 Update: This place has expanded its hours and is so good. The tahina bowl with falafel is amazing. Super fresh, bright and flavorful. The fries with the harrissa sauce is amazing. Please go check them out.
Great little spot inside Alameda Marketplace. GF falafel and fries!! Fryer is safe. Staff will happily answer any questions you might have. They also offer a GF bowl but I haven't tried that yet. With so few options on the island for gluten free, I'm so grateful for this spot.
