Zankou Chicken

This is a pretty safe option because not a lot of the items on the menu contain gluten, which they're proud to tell you about. However understanding of the nuances of celiac disease and cross contamination is not guaranteed. They don't really reassure me very confidently except to repeat but there's not much on the menu that's gluten free. A pretty good option just proceed with caution.

Made me sick. AVOID.

Celiac friendly?

No

Best chicken in Los Angeles and the only gluten is in the bread which is easily avoided. I'm not vouching for the falafel as I haven't asked what's in it. The garlic sauce is great too.

Excellent food. Everything gluten free except the pita bread and the tabouleh. Our 9-year old daughter who has celiac and eats like a bird ate an entire plate herself. She can’t wait to go back. Staff very knowledgeable kept our plate with pita separate from hers. It’s our new go-to!

Wonderful experience here. First time is always a little nerve racking but felt super safe after the manager helped explain how things are prepared. Feel great after this meal. Got chicken kabob, rice, hummus, and tatziki! Will be back

I was hungry for Mediterranean food. We called around to a few local places and this place was the most knowledgeable about gluten free foods. Pretty much everything is naturally gluten free. Not the pita or wraps obviously. Lots of choices with delicious sauces. I got a bowl with chicken, rice, cucumber salad, hummus and sauces. So good and very fresh tasting!

The allergen guide says that the only items with gluten are the taboulleh salad and the pita. The server was very aware of this and had a copy of the guide next to his cash register. They were extra careful not to even put pita on my plate. Everything was yummy, and I had no bad reactions.

According to the information on their website, everything is gluten-free except for the taboula salad and the pita bread. I stayed away from both and had a wonderful, filling meal without any bad effects.
