Good food,100% gf, and open late night. The only downside is that it’s to go only.

It’s incredibly tasty and the only gf place open late. The koshari and the mac and cheese are both super tasty. the soup is good too but i wish there was a smaller portion. it’s a little pricey but i’ve never had a reaction and totally delicious

Good food and they're open till midnight. Take out only and it's a little hidden in between two buildings. I ordered the chicken Mac and cheese. Despite other reviews talking about portion sizes mine was small and a little pricey for what I got but nonetheless GF and tasty.

Great food, large portions. Only take out and catering. There is a covered picnic area outside. You need to go on their website and order food and they will bring it out.

The portions are so large that two people can split one meal. Dessert is yummy! Good selection of food. I would recommend it.

We didn’t realize it was takeout only at first. The owner was great and they have picnic tables to eat at outside. Ordered online and waited 15 min for our food. The Mac n cheese is amazing and huge portions. Kinda pricey but such large portions and tasty it’s worth it. Owner said the whole kitchen is gluten free and we loved it! Def recommend it! *very sensitive celiac

Take out only. It’s a bit difficult to find, tucked back from the street, kind of like in an office/warehouse type of building. Since you can only order on line, I didn’t really have the chance to talk to staff, but the website says it’s gf, so I just trusted that. Loved the mac n cheese, it’s made with lots of herbs & spices, and delicious sauce & crunchy onions to pour over. Very hearty, with lentils & chickpeas. A bit pricey for take out (feels weird to pay $20 for macaroni, but it is really good, and the guy gave me a free water when he brought out my order). Definitely excited to try other things here.

The chicken la la with noodles was absolutely phenomenal! The sauces and the fried onions!! The date balls are amazing. So lucky to have this gluten free place here and so incredibly delicious.

This is pickup and delivery ONLY (no indoor seating).

There's really only two dishes, it seems: koshari, and mac bowls. Then you pick what protein you want on top. We ordered the chicken koshari and the vegan mac with beef sausage. We weren't sure what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised! The koshari was a unique blend of starches (rice, and two kinds of pasta), mildly spiced, and earthy. The mac was *almost* a mac n cheese type dish, but slightly herbal and tomato-y. It would probably be more mac n cheese-y if we got the mac varieties that had cheese in them! The beef sausage was a good match for the dish.

Staff came out to verify our order (cheese vs no cheese), which we liked (it shows they're paying attention). We enjoyed the food, and would eat here again. Next time we'd probably order delivery.

This place takes mac n cheese to a totally different level! Doesn't taste gf either. Seriously- run, don't walk to this place! Mac Lala is unreal good. If I could give more stars, I would. Celiac daughter is smiling the biggest smile right now. :)

I think it’s dedicated gluten free. Amazing Egyptian Mac - better than the glutinous stuff. Also this place is open 24/7!!

Super tasty mac and cheese with delicious mix-ins and huge portions. I didn't speak to the staff about their protocol but the menu seems to be 100% gluten free so I felt safe and had no reaction at all. Vegan options are available. Celiac safe late night delivery options have been really scarce so I would have been excited even if it was only ok, but it's genuinely good too!
