So delicious!! Everything gluten free except for the pitas but you can get it in a bowl. They are knowledgeable about celiac and cross-contamination.

Very knowledgeable about GF and cross contamination. Told us what gets fried with gluten content and what doesn't. All scratch made. Reasonably priced for 2023 standards considering the portion size which is huge.

Most importantly, delicious. 4 falafels in a bowl plus whatever else the menu item says. Very fresh ingredients.

They are amazing - as soon as you say you have celiac, they call it out, change gloves and one person does your order.

They will give veggies instead of pita bread if you ask. :)

Excellent gf foods. I have no concerns at all eating there as a celiac. They are a bit inflexible about giving tortilla chips instead of pita bread with their falafels but the food is worth it (and I just don’t take the bread.)

Chickpeas at trainyard has fresh and delicious falafel cooked in dedicated fryer. Make a falafel bowl w quinoa and you get a big portion with a nice size glob of hummus veggies and salad. So good!
