The Garlic King

I’ve eaten at garlic king a bunch of times now because they are known for their gluten free plates and taking precautions. I had to change my rating because every time I eat there I get sick. I don’t understand it but I won’t be eating there again which makes me very sad.

Ordered twice and they were very thorough about offering gluten free options for the whole family’s meal so separate individual dinners were no necessary. Lots of Gluten free items. Dedicated kitchen space. Knowledgeable. One of the few places I feel safe ordering from.

Dedicated space. I eat there quite often, I have been sick twice..but the percentage is quite low (compared to the amount of times I eat there)

This is our fifth time coming here for GF Shawarmas. There is a dedicated GF area and the dryer is only for the French fries. The food is very flavorful and I've never been sick. I'm celiac and I will keep on coming.

The owner and staff were great. Separate prep space, good wraps and Pete’s desserts! They wanted to hear our opinions after we ate.

The best part were the fries with whatever sauce they use, SO GOOD! I would recommend to everyone!

Garlic King was wonderful. They have a segregated line prep area for gluten free orders. They brought out a new hummus container instead of using the open container on the non-gluten line. The food was great and a pleasure to deal with during the ordering.

Loved it! It was so nice to have a shawarma! They take great care in making the side dishes gluten free too!
