This place used to be gluten free but there is new ownership. Now really only the plain falafel is safe and nothing else is.

Review
This place is great for authentic Israeli falafel. Very friendly staff. Cute location with parking for three cars. It’s very humble, clean, has a nice little outside patio. Salads are very tasty. Price is reasonable - two of us split a HUGE falafel salad plate for 15 bucks.
It’s basically falafel, hummus and salads - everything is gf except the pita bread which they keep in bags. They do make GF pita but they run out so you should call ahead to see if they have any left.
There is no cross contamination issue - they wear gloves and the food prep area is kept quite clean.
And the food is delicious

Everything is cross-contaminated. All front kitchen space is shared between gluten and gluten free items. All toppings, vegetables, etc. located in the front of the store are cross-contaminated. If you are Celiac, this isn't for you.

Amazing gluten free falafel. They also have gluten free pita, but they run out quickly, so it's best to call ahead.

Absolutely delicious and crispy falafels that are gluten free. You can get a plate of falafel, shakshuka and sobich/sobeech (?) with different sides. great humus too.
