Review of The Thirsty Koala

I have eaten here a number of times over the last few years, never had a problem (except for takeout coming late or a bit cold), but always reaction free…until tonight. I specifically told our waiter that I have celiac, triple checked my order as per usual..but about 30 min after finishing my dinner I had a very clear reaction. I’m so disappointed because this was one of my only “safe” options in Astoria. Now I feel like I can’t even trust them anymore.
