Review of Istanbul Hawaii

Update Dec. 2020: got violently sick the fifth time bring takeout from here. Will not be back and can’t recommend consistency for celiacs.

The server spoke to the owners and all the chefs after placing our order and before charging us to make sure everyone knew protocol. They handled it easily, changed gloves, used a separate prep area and all. Their grill does not have gluten cooked on it, so all kebabs are safe except the donner. GF options all marked on the menu. Very, very tasty food! We live in the neighborhood and will be back weekly. Both my partner and I have celiac and we’re so thrilled this opened up near us
