Overall Rating

Review


Potentially was glutened here. :( Staff seemed knowledgeable about GF options and about changing gloves to avoid cross-contamination, so I ordered GF pita with Jaffa-style plain hummus with parsley and pine nuts. Then started feeling symptomatic afterward. I can’t really think of where the cross-contamination came in, since it seemed like all of their hummuses are GF and mine was plain to boot. Maybe in the GF pita? It was at least visually distinct from the whole wheat pita my friend ordered. Or maybe there was cross-contamination earlier in preparation with the chickpeas or tahini. Sadly I have to recommend caution at this location.
