Lebanese Taverna

Delicious Lebanese food, with items clearly marked on the menu. Had kababs which are gf other than the rice pilaf, but they substituted for spiced rice. My friend (who is not gf) had a bunch of the apps and said they were excellent. Highly recommend! Didn’t ask about fryer as wasn’t eating anything from there.

They had items marked on the menu as ‘gluten free’ that had been fryed with gluten containing items. Very scary watch out!

They still have a lot of gluten free items available that were not fried.

Menu clearly marked and have tons of options. But, the label fries gluten free—they share a fryer so careful there and as always make sure to tell your server you’re celiac to avoid some of the marked items. Had gluten free crackers for the dips, really delicious food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic food! Menu clearly marked. Manager came out to talk to me and thoroughly answered my questions. I got the watermelon-feta-mint salad and lamb. Both were amazing. Walked out in a food coma.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Never I have ever walked into a restaurant and have the server ask me first thing, if I had any food allergies she needed to be aware of. She basically had me at hello. The food was incredibly delicious. Totally worth the money. Highly recommended.

Pentagon Row location: Sadly, this location is not safe for cross contamination. Gluten free options are listed on the regular menu. We were with a group of 8 for our daughter’s graduation dinner and the waiter understood I was gluten free but did not offer vegetables on a separate plate to dip my hummus. He said vegetables came with on the hummus trio on the platter. I have always been offered a small plate of vegetables in the past. Before dinner was over, I started to feel ill effects which lasted the night. This has been a favorite restaurant of mine for years (before gluten intolerance). I recommend the Woodly Park location instead of Pentagon Row because I have not gotten sick after eating there multiple times in the past couple years and have been treated better by the staff.

The staff clearly does not understand cross contamination. The falafel is not gf due to a shared frier! I found this out the hard way as I was sprinting for the bathroom in DSW and doubled over in pain within 20 minutes of eating here. If you are Celiac, run far, far away!

Maybe just had a bad server but nearly got glutened and was served dairy (also allergic). On top of that, the food wasn’t fresh and had little flavor.
