I so deeply love Ya Hala and their incredible lamb shawarma pita wraps. Have eaten here numerous times without issue and I am typically very sensitive! :) I will say their baklava isn’t my favorite… toooo chewy/hard

Probably my new fav restaurant in Portland! You order at the counter and sit down in their beautiful dining room. I went at ~12:30pm on a Saturday and it wasn’t busy. Delicious hummus, chicken, and roasted potatoes. The pita was the best I’ve ever had!!! They must be gluten free magicians. I got a dessert to go. (They have two displays of hummus, salads, and desserts to go! I saw at least 3 gf desserts.)

I didn’t ask about cc, please do if you are sensitive!

Went here because of all the positive reviews, but ended up a bit disappointed. Their menu has items marked GF, which is great. But very few things to choose from. They switched from table service to counter service, and I felt rushed trying to talk to the worker about safety & CC, as there was a big line behind me. She simply said they keep things separate in their kitchen, but then just kind of looked at me flatly without saying any more. The gf pita was actually really good. The gf baklava was tiny, overpriced and had about 2 microscopic pieces of nuts in it.

The food is delicious but they made me sick twice. They try to be careful but they bake with gluteny flour in their kitchen so it's risky. Such a shame!

Very nice atmosphere and delicious. I very much enjoyed my gf pita and baba ghanouj. I also had a gf baklava roll! Next time I would order coffee to go with it.

I asked the pleasant woman behind the counter about how celiac friendly it was and she said yes it’s celiac friendly. Also everything on their menu can be made gf!

Great place for gluten free. We added a gluten free pita for $4- worth it because it was warm and fresh. Also got a gf homemade pop tart 😁 Passed on the gf chocolate zucchini cake and "sfoof" cake flavored with anise and tumeric. Both looked delicious. We ordered at the restaurant for take out. Service was friendly and hardworking. Busy night so it took awhle to get our food.

The chef is celiac so they know how to do it right. Gf pita is delicious. They had a gf valentine's day menu that was amazing. The gf rose, raspberry cake cake was incredible. Wonderful staff also.

Grateful to find tasty gluten free food on a night when my friends and family were enjoying pizza nearby. I enjoyed my first pita in almost 20 years! Knowledge staff. Good food. Quick service. Takeout.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pita was pretty great. Schwarma was not excellent though. Lamb was kind of tough.

like 90% of the items on the menu are gluten free, and they have numerous vegetarian/vegan options as well! Definitely want to go back and try some more!!

Yes

Owner (and chef’s) family member is celiac. They are VERY knowledgeable. She has a designated fryer and area of the kitchen for gluten free preparation. Gluten free pita and falafel!!!! Many gluten free options!!!!
