Shadi's Restaurant & Lounge

They have items marked gluten free. They don't mark the sides. I ordered gluten free and added rice as a side. I didn't realize it was rice pilaf. Which, I assumed was gluten free. I ate some and asked if it was gluten free. It was not. They brought out a new dish, because the rest of my dinner touched the pilaf. I was surprised they gave pilaf when I specified everthing must be gluten free. Either that or the waitress did not write it on the slip. She seemed new and was unsure of things being gluten free, but she did ask.

The food was very good.

Make sure to ask if it is gluten free, especially the sides.

Absolutely favorite gluten free restaurant to go to! Hommos, stuffed grape leaves, salads, mjadara, and kafta are all delicious. Gracious staff, excellent menu. A+!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu clearly indicates (with an asterik / footnote) which items are gluten free. The french fries are delicious and are prepared in a dedicated fryer. The waitress that served my table was very knowledgeable with regard to celiac disease and the preparation of their food. The food that I got was excellent, and was definitely gluten free. (I am extremely sensitive and break out with DH rash if I consume even a small amount of gluten; in addition to GI symptoms.)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Haven't tried it yet but their menu has many GF options.Hoping to try it soon
