Review


I used to eat here all the time. A few years ago I gave them four stars. Because they were primarily gluten free. I am unsure what happened. ..but over the last couple of years, every time I ate there I would become very ill. I checked with the staff at one point to try to figure out what exactly was making me have the reaction. We thought we figured it out and I stayed away from the papadum and pankora. As I found out that they do not have a dedicated dedicated fryer anymore. However, I still had a bad reaction. We cooresponded back and forth via email. I was told that they don't know where I got the idea that they were gluten free or that they guaranteed that their food was gluten free.( it is posted everywhere on their Buffet line which dishes were supposed to be gluten free for one thing ). Also when I said the manager /owner assured me it was gluten free a few years back . The person who I correspond with was very unappologetic and very defensive. I suggested that if they were no longer going to guarantee that their product was Celiac friendly , that they post a disclaimer about their gluten-free status warning celiacs that it's not safe to eat there. be very wary eating here.
