Not a lot of options. I had an amazing salad with salmon. Service slow, wait time slow, outside dining, nice clean establishment and safe. I didn't get sick, and loved the salad.

Really good chicken and mashed potatoes! They said they had GF pita but it was just Udi’s bread, but otherwise 5/5. They seemed to understand celiac really well and everything is marked on the menu.

Gluten-Free at Jake and Telly’s Greek Taverna
3 years ago

GF items clearly marked, and staff was very knowledgeable. A large portion of the menu is workable - I had a vegetarian appetizer platter and some grilled lamb kebabs with veggies. They even serve GF bread instead of regular pita, and it was quite good. Waitress rattled off a list of GF desserts, too. The stuffed figs (with candied walnuts, yogurt, and honey) were amazing. Overall a fantastic meal and experience.

Waitress and host both said menu was marked with GF items and many non-GF items could be made gluten free. Seemed was knowledgeable about gluten issues. Ordered the Vegetarian Appetizer Platter with GF bread replacing Pita. Food was very good. Wine prices very reasonable. Service was attentive.

Nice environment. Gluten-free items clearly marked on menu and staff knowledgeable. I had grape leaves for an appetizer which were really good. Had lamb ribs for an entree which had good flavor but much too tough. Garlic mashed potatoes were delicious though. Was a bit pricey for what you got.

Lots of gluten free options at this Greek restaurant. I have eaten here several time and have never had a reaction.

After being told that they are not "celiac friendly" and that nothing would be safe to eat here, I left without eating. While I appreciate the honesty, it was not expressed kindly and it really shouldn't be difficult to keep naturally gluten free items away from gluten containing ones.

The service was super slow and rude. They were not knowledgable and mixed glutinous bread with the veggies on the appetizer plate AFTER I ASKED TWICE. They do not have gf pita bread just homemade bread. The menu online is not the menu they have in the place. The Tzatika was not great. For the food I cud have it was wayyyy overpriced. I wud not come unless dragged to come and wud only get a salad and kebabs and steamed grape leaves becus that's the only think Greek which tastes good.

The staff is very knowledgable and accommodating. They can make you gluten free dipping bread and pita bread, pasta dishes can be made with gluten free pasta. All items on the menu are marked but you can substitute almost any of it to make it gluten free. It's a little pricy but the portion size and quality is definitely worth it

Really good Greek food. Menu is well marked and they can substitute gf pasta for any reg pasta. That we're very accommodating and made you feel welcome. The staff knows their menu really well and can work with you on any dietary need

One of my favorite places to eat. They have many gluten free options marked on menu. Food is fabulous and staff educated about gluten issues. Several entree options for dinner. They have gluten free bread to make burger or sandwich for lunch. Gluten free beer available.
