Told cashier I had a “gluten allergy” and he smiled and immediately told me that they had GF pita (so yummy!) and that I could have everything on the menu except for one dish. I began to inquire about the fries and he assured me that the only items fried in the fryer were the French fries and the falafel which are both GF. Will be back often!

Upon arriving, I told the cashier I had a "gluten allergy" just to be sure I'd be safe eating there and she told me I can have everything on the menu except for the pita bread and salad. However, they do have GF pita bread!!! I asked about cross-contamination and she told me they wipe down the grill and if you order a sandwich they prepare it in the back. I ordered the chicken shwarma sandwich with GF pita bread and the basmati rice. Everything was so delicious!

I’m gluten sensitive, not celiac. I hadn’t had a pita in 8 years until my visit here.. This restaurant was amazing. There were many choices, the food was delicious, and I didn’t feel ill.

Ordered in person and staff was very knowledgeable, only 2 items on their menu have gluten in them, so there’s lots of options.

only two things on the entire menu have gluten in them, and there is a substitute for one of those: the pita bread! they grill the pita bread, and I heard the cook being told to make sure to change her gloves and wipe down the grill, and also to keep my food separate from my spouse's, since he got a regular pita. they even said if I were still nervous after the grill was wiped down, they would grill the pita on a piece of foil. Everything that goes in the fryers is gluten free, so no worry about gluten-contaminated falafel or fries. Plus, the food is amazing!
