Staff is very knowledgeable and they have a separate allergen menu. I still ask them to change their gloves, but would definitely go back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgeable. I got a peri peri bowl and it was perfect!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When I went, the waitress said that basically anything with bread is obviously not gluten free and everything else is gf. I love their bowl and all the different sauces. Would definitely recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Great food! Just don't have the peri-nnaise. There's a gluten preservative in the mayo. Made that mistake with the fries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Allergen menu available. Friendly staff. Took the teens, hubby, and child--they were skeptical at first and came out loving it and wanting more! Quinoa salad is safe and yummy! Compare food to the allergen menu to rule out trouble before ordering. Great atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So delicious always and I always feel safe. My go to place when I visit DC.

Lots of choices and tasted absolutely amazing!

Celiac friendly?

No

Great place for chicken dinner and sides.

I had the chicken bowl without the hummus and a side of fries. I was told it was all gluten free but they were unsure if the hummus had cross contamination, so I opted for no hummus just to be safe. The fries are the only thing that go in the frier, so no cross contamination there. The food was not bad for a quick, easy meal across from my hotel. I did not get sick.

I dined in and had a positive experience the people were very nice and I watched the person who took my order tell the kitchen to be careful with cross contamination. I did not get sick and felt comfortable eating there! I would always say when eating somewhere that has gluten in the kitchen at all be very clear about the severity and ask them to change gloves etc!

Manager was pretty rude and didn’t want us to eat there even though it was 45min til they closed. Dirty environment too. I did not get sick from gluten but I wouldn’t recommend.

We always stop at Nando’s when we travel south. They have a well marked allergen booklet. We get the chicken livers, spicy olives, brussels sprouts without the sauce, shish kebabs, and half chicken. French fries are in a dedicated fryer. Enjoy!

While the restaurant isn’t dedicated gluten free, the staff are excellent about allergies! As soon as you tell the staff you have celiac/wheat allergy, they are running to the kitchen to ensure your order is prepared with new gloves, in a freshly cleaned area, and without any gluten ingredients. The servers automatically bring the allergen book and work directly with you to ensure you do not order anything that has hidden gluten. My husband and I both have celiac and have never had issues here :)
