Zankou Chicken

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.

This place is has less selection of gluten free options than other branvhes. Confirmed with owners and managers. The only thing that is gluten free is anything that is just a clean dry grilled chicken breast. No kebobs, nothing that has a lick of marinade. Other branches like Pasadena is good tho.

Celiac friendly?

No

Just went into Zankou Chicken in Anaheim. I asked the person taking orders what is gluten free and she had no idea what I was talking about. She went to speak to the manager then came back and told me only the pita bread was gluten free. I thought she was kidding but she wasn’t. I asked to speak to the manager who also told me only the pita bread. I shook my head in disbelief and left. This is not a safe place for celiacs or people with gluten sensitivities to eat.

Celiac friendly?

No

Lots of options. We ordered the kabobs, chicken and shish, super good. falafel and hummus were great too.

Great and popular Mediterranean food even for non-Celiacs. I used to mostly get pita sandwiches, but that obviously won't work anymore. Luckily rice plates and combinations are still fantastic. Don't forget the garlic sauce.

Do it ! Everything here is gluten-free except the pita bread, which is bagged separately - just be sure to mention that you don't want any pita bread

Best food everything but the Tabbouleh salad and obviously pita bread! Yummy chicken kabobs and awesome garlic sauce I eat here a lot!

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.

Really good food. Kind of pricey though. Website is marked with what is gluten free. Staff will mark order with allergy to make sure staff change gloves
