Ordered takeout and let them know I have celiac disease. Ordered GF injera, but they placed wheat injera into the dish as a food divider anyways. Do not recommend.

Great experience here, came based on reviews and it being one of the top 25 or so restaurants in Chicago. No GF apps but yes all the entrees are GF. We were able to get GF injera super easily and they even brought me a little GF injera + cheese while everyone had an appetizer so ‘I wouldn’t feel left out’ which was so nice. Such a great experience having Ethiopian food for the first time!

SO good! I haven’t had Ethiopian food in a while and everything I tried at Demera was amazing. They now ALWAYS have gf, 100% teff injera, so you don’t have to call in advance (just specify with your waiter/waitress). None of the appetizers are gf, but that’s perfectly fine because all of their platter choices are gf.

Wonderful food. Ordered takeout online from the restaurant. They were really nice and offered to bring the food out to my car and place it in my trunk to observe social distancing. The food was well packed and delicious. All of the meat and vegetable items are naturally gluten free, and they have gluten free teff injera available. The gf injera was so good and spongy that my non-gf husband questioned if it was gf. It definitely was, as I did not get sick, and I'm very sensitive to cross contamination. Will definitely return soon.
