Waiter was very knowledgable abt gf issues & safe menu items. They have gf pita bread which was excellent; even gluten eaters in my family loved them. I had the broiled eggplant w peppers, etc, wonderful.

They must’ve changed their menu since the previous reviews as they don’t have GF pita anymore. I had cucumbers instead for the dipping although when the food came out the pita my partner ordered was touching the dips, so probably not super safe for celiac. The menu has GF labeled but it seemed incomplete since things like hummus and beef skewers weren’t labeled GF but the waiter said they were, so I’m not sure the accuracy of it.

Wonderful staff that’s very understanding of celiac disease. There’s lots of options, including GF pita bread. And, there’s a designated fryer. All delicious!

I wanted to love my experience here - I stopped in a couple days before my reservation and spoke with someone who was very reassuring that they had GF options. But the waiter the day of got very defensive when I asked for more information about ingredients and allergy protocols in the kitchen. Ultimately I got grilled seafood and saganaki and did not get sick, but I’m not typically a super symptomatic celiac. They have several options marked gluten free and I think with a more empathetic waiter I would have felt completely safe.

Avli is a great neighborhood spot that I come back to again and again. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and they’re very careful about cross contamination. They have a separate area where they prepare GF food. The gluten free pita is great!

They said they make gluten free food separately.

I tried a few different things - it was nice having gluten free pita, and I really enjoyed the chicken kabobs. I will return.

This place is awesome! Really good with the menu the GF options are listed and the staff is very knowledgeable. My wife has celiac and she can eat their fries as they have a dedicated fryer for them. Great wine list and great Greek food.
