When I ordered, the staff member seemed very unsure of himself, and had to refer to their list of gluten-free food items about 4 times when helping me pick my sides. Sadly, I should have listened to my gut (no pun intended) and ran the other way. I took his suggestions and wound up ill for days.

The menu on the wall only lists a few, things as GF, but the counter attendant was very informed and was able to provide many more GF items by modifying the sides they came with. For example, kabobs were not GF because they come with rice, which has orzo added. But he offered hummous, potatoes or spiced rice instead. Food was pretty good, especially the shashouki.

I always give one star minimum for a restaurant that offers gluten that I don't get sick at. However the food is over spiced in my opinion, and the beef is like gristle for the most part. The dressing for my salad was a watery. This is the second time I've tried them the first time I was disappointed and I gave him another chance

This is a tasty restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Half my family is Lebanese and I think the food is very good. A variety of items are marked gf. Every time I’ve been here, the staff is not very friendly or accommodating, so I have had to really emphasize the glove change to feel safe. However, the food was always delicious and I have never felt unwell. A definite repeat, but be insistent with communication even if the server does not seem interested in engaging.

Great food with easy to find gluten free menu items. There is no separate gluten free menu, however. Substitute the bread for vegetables for the dips. Even after telling the waiter that I had a severe gluten allergy, they still tried to serve bread to the table, but were very apologetic afterwards. There was a small upcharge for the veggie substitution.

Been here recently and they were very attentive and I felt fine. Went on Friday afternoon and the waiter seemed totally checked out. I’m certain he didn’t tell the kitchen I’m celiac because I found a piece of naan in my salad and I’ve been bedridden with a high fever for three days now.
