Delicious place! Almost all the food is GF except for the injera, salad, and samusas. I enjoyed the spicy meat stew lunch with rice, and it was a great lunch portion! Super tasty!

Food was delicious, split the veggie feast and it was served on rice. The salad dressing had traces of wheat and they whipped up a dressing for me as well. Injera is not gf. Large portions. We will return!

Absolutely delicious. Avoid the salad dressing, I was told it has traces of wheat. Also avoid the injera bread, and sambusas. I ordered the vegetarian combo on rice and it was all so so good! A little spicy for my young kid, but I found the spice level just right.

I have had two excellent experiences with Altu. Easy ordering, was helped by two different people and they were both knowledgeable about what on their menu had gluten in it. Easy and safe pickup experience, great customer service, and amazing food.

Comfort food, I don't think they have dairy in it either. Like the other reviewer said, only what in the injera bread and samosas. You can get the meal with rice. Eaten two times here with no problems.

Everything is gluten free except the injera bread. You can order your meal with rice instead. Spicy goodness! I had the spicy beef stew with the mild Lima beans. Yum!
