Menu clearly labeled and server was very knowledgeable. The kale salad was so refreshing and the morgh qorma was soooooo flavorful. Four of us split a salad, two veggies, and one signature dish and a cocktail each, which was just enough food and cost $40 per person. Really good deal for the quality of food !
I’ve been twice with no issues, and I’m very sensitive to cross contamination! Most of the menu is gf and the servers are knowledgeable. I’ve gotten different veggie dishes, the chicken skewer, and another chicken dish all without any reaction. Plus the rice pudding is great! Highly recommend
Lapis is SO good! Everything on the menu is marked with gf, df, vg, or v. Such a good experience too! I got the Kofta, a side of chicken kabob - everything was delicious!! Highly recommend!

Great place. Everything is marked on the menu and the server checked with us and indicated there was a separate prep area. I had the Kofta and loved it!
Great afghan food and most of the menu is gf. I had chicken kabob, a cauliflower vegetable dish, a pumpkin vegetable dish and did not get sick. A lot of dairy on the menu though. It is loud, packed, and hot so wear layers.
Gluten free items were clearly marked and had great variety. Very kind staff.
The food was incredible and the servers were so knowledgable. Almost everything could be made gluten free, and it was all so yummy. Only thing is that the frier is not dedicated, so just stay away from anything fried to stay safe!
Food is so good and gluten and vegan options clearly labeled.
Incredible food. Knowledgeable, friendly Staff. Asked about allergies right off the bat. When we told her celiacs she steered us toward items with less risk of cross contamination. Clearly marked menu and a ton of choices.. A little loud inside so recommend sitting outside if you can tolerate the weather
Such helpful and kind staff. Loads of options, eaten and enjoyed here many times
What an experience! One of the best restaurants i have ever been to. Menu is marked ( gf, vegitarian, vegan,...). Lots of options. The waiters are knowledgeable about allergies and the possible cross-contamination in their kitchen! I will recommend this restaurant to anyone with celiac disease.
Great food and knowledgeable servers. The menu is marked and server can discuss any cross contact concerns. I loved my food, and our table loved what they ordered.
It's such a nice spot, but it does get a bit loud in the dining area.
Highly recommend here! Clearly labeled GF food and knowledgeable staff. The food and atmosphere is great. They also do nice little touches for celebrating birthdays here. We ordered the aush, buranee bademjan, nask, and the rice pudding. No symptoms. This place is wonderful!

Incredible Afghan food. I felt quite confident in the safety. Menu is labeled well.
Fantastic service every time. Very safe to eat at and feels like a home cooked meal
Enjoyed a delicious dinner here of steak and rice and pickled vegetables! Just make sure to say you have celiac/severe gluten allergy - I was going to order the lamb patties which were marked on the menu as GF, but when my server checked the kitchen was not sure if they had been made with wheat flour or not. I enjoyed what I ended up getting regardless and the staff were very knowledgeable and attentive, but it was a bit of a bummer to have to change and made me have my guard up a little more about the meal. All went well though and I felt fine after eating!
I’m a very sensitive celiac- have eaten here twice with no problem! Plus the food and atmosphere are wonderful!
Delicious food and lots of selection. Highly recommend!
Incredible experience here. Menu is clearly marked for all GF options. Lots of choices and all of the food was terrific. We shared stewed chicken, pumpkin with yogurt, dal and house made pickled vegetables. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended - we will be back!
The default menu that everyone receives is clearly marked (GF, V, and VG), and our server asked about food allergies unprompted. Lovely restaurant with a very wide array of options
I’ve eaten here twice now without issue and the food is delicious! Gluten free items are clearly indicated on the menu and there are plenty to choose from.
Lovely place! Everything is annotated and staff was very knowledgeable. They asked how severe the allergy was and proactively changed the menu accordingly- bread of the plate etc. However a 20% tip is added automatically, and more appreciated - so the prices go up quickly.
This place is so lovely and the food was great! Menu is clearly marked — great place to take your vegetarian friends as well!
Staff was knowledgeable and specifically asked me if it was an intolerance or celiac disease after I said I could not have gluten. Lots of good options (especially veggies), and great food!
This place was amazing. Our waitress asked if us if I was celiac and I felt safe with their answers to the questions I asked. The food was also incredible???? I’ve never had this type of food but I loved it. Pics added.
absolutely wonderful, easily marked menu and most things were gf
Lots marked as GF on the menu and the food is good but a waiter brought us a dessert and told us it was GF. I took a few bites and then the waitress ran over and told me it was Semolina but by then it was too late and I got sick. Be careful here—some of their waitstaff will just tell you that things are safe when they definitely are not.
I ate at the cafe area downstairs -- same menu as the main restaurant, but you order at the counter and take a number to your table. The cashier seemed confused when I said I need a gluten-free meal, but another employee was able to help. Seems like they have an established system for communicating dietary needs to the kitchen, but maybe not all staff are super familiar with it. The nice thing about the downstairs cafe is that it's much quieter, which makes it easier to explain your needs! The food was excellent.
Lots of gluten free options but it was so loud that it was hard to explain to my waiter my dietary restrictions. Although I repeated multiple times that I could not have bread with my meal, my plate came out with bread on it and my food was cross contaminated. Food is delicious though...
Loved this place! The server was knowledgeable, helpful, and gave us some wonderful recommendations. The food was delicious, and as a sensitive Celiac I had no issues.
Most food is naturally gf. Staff is knowledgeable and best of all the food and drinks were great!!!
Excellent food. Very strict on GF issues. Waiter answered every question.
