Most of the sides are not gluten free, and staff will not allow you to order an entree without ordering 2 sides. Menu is clear on what is gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian. Dine in is very cramped, cannot seat more than 4 comfortably.

Be very careful! We just had dinner there, and the staff clearly does not understand celiac disease. I ordered GF salmon, grilled veggies and rice. The waitress assured me they were very careful and keep contaminants away, and wrote food allergy on the order. Halfway through the meal i looked closely at the rice, and it had pasta in it! Turns out all their rice has pasta in it. They said, ‘Well, the salmon’s gluten free, and we put it in lettuce so it wouldn’t touch the gluten in the rice! ‘ Seriously??? Why wouldn’t they ask??? So now i’m sick....

Love this place. Never gotten sick. Get grape leaves, hummus, shawarma chicken or the lemon oregano chicken (kafta). Also their garlic sauce is a must! Super friendly staff and family.

If you medically need to avoid gluten be very careful when dining! My takeout was tested with the EZ Gluten test kit ELISA test strip and tested a "High Positive" for the presence of gluten. All menu items ordered and tested were marked gluten free on their menu-and still contained gluten. The food smelled amazing! Just sad I couldn't have enjoyed it!

This was by far the best eating out experiences I’ve had since being diagnosed Celiac. My new go to spot! The menu clearly points out the gluten free options so you don’t have to look like a weirdo asking for a special menu, and there are a LOT of options! They also point out vegetarian and vegan options as well. Before the waiter put my order in he went to get a special allergens list and double checked everything I ordered for all allergens (not just gluten) without me even asking. He also knew about cross contamination and told me nothing fried was safe for me because they use the same oil and it would be contaminated. Not many restaurants are aware of this in my experience! He also told me the bread is cooked in a special oven not on the cooktop with the meats. I would HIGHLY recommend this location for anyone with any food issues due to their diligence and patience. I felt so safe, and like they actually cared that I wouldn’t only be happy with my food but also healthy after.

I ate here and I did not get sick! I had a small reaction but it was probably from the abundance of garlic paste that I ate. The wait staff did not seem knowledgeable in gluten-free at all! I was very nervous but to my surprise I did not get sick from the food.
