Love the food they had a gluten free pita and falafel which I hadn’t had in years. I was so excited and they did not disappoint. They told me all of their food except the non gluten free pita was gluten free though I would still ask just to make sure.

First time eating at this location. They didn’t seem as sure of what all was gf as the Union Station location (at Union Station they have told me a few times that the couscous is not gf but this location didn’t tell me that. If you do t already know that couscous is not gf, you could accidentally eat it and be glutened. While most of us already know that couscous isn’t safe, the workers should still tell you that in my opinion). They will change their gloves, but this location seemed more fertile ground for cross contamination than the Union Station location.

The food is good. I didn’t get sick. I would eat at this location again if I was near it. I just wish this location adopted the more celiac friendly policies of other locations.

Evening is gluten free except the pitas, which are not with the rest of the food. Great tasting and fresh!

Build your own bowl type of place - I thought it was good. I wasn’t entirely comfortable that they knew all that was gf so I okayed it safe and also relied on some other reviews.

When I asked what I could eat, they told me everything except the pita was gluten free, and that they could give me GF pita if I wanted it.

I got a sandwich and it was amazing. The waitress made sure to be the only one to touch my food to avoid cross contaminations. And she was very knowledgeable about what was and wasn't gluten free. Would highly recommend for those who are gluten free, but my mom who isn't gluten free enjoyed her meal as well!

Great GF selection and the pita bread was soft. Chicken Roti w/cucumber garlic sauce was aaaaawesome and the employee behind the counter was very careful on not cross contaminating my food. Wish they had one of these in South Florida.

Very aware of GF and celiac. They even warned me when I ordered a GF pita wrap and tried to get cous-cous in it (cous-cous is not gluten-free)

We ate at the Roti located at Union Station and I never had to worry. The staff were very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and what wasn't. The staff changed their gloves every time they needed to and I never had to ask them. We ate there several times and didn't have a problem with anything. I would recommend it to anyone whether they were gluten free or not. The food was very good.

Staff wasn't very familiar with what was gluten free and had to ask several other coworkers before someone could explain what was gf. Food tasted pretty good. I had mild stomach upset and gas pain after... not sure if it was cross contamination or simply from traveling stress.

I've eaten at 2 locations and broken out in the Celiac rash both times -- food is great but some cross contamination going on. I'm very very careful with my diet -- the rash makes that way.

Got glutened here at lunch this afternoon. I went early to beat the lunch rush and talked to the two guys working the counter about my gluten allergy. They assured me that everything except the pita was safe. My mom and I both ordered chicken bowls with several toppings and both had an immediate reaction.

Everything at Roti is gluten free except the pita and pita chips. They offer bowls with rice, salads and sandwiches. They also have the Be Free gluten free pita available. Very tasty Mediterranean food! The server also changed her gloves when I let her know i have celiac and the toasted pita was wrapped to avoid cross-contamination. Highly recommend this fast option!
