The food was absolutely amazing.
The owner has celiac. I spoke with him myself, and I have no worries about cross contamination.

Review
I did not have an issue the one time I ate there. I would specify that you are ordering gf so that they are aware. For example, they were prepared to swap the normal pita that would come with the hummus for "gf bread" (corn tortilla). Food was good and I would like to eat there again. The waiter seemed knowledgeable about cross contamination.

Tasty menu. I love the saffron and date braised lamb. I enjoy the smaller sized dishes because it means I have room to taste more goodies with each trip. The curry fried chicken doesn’t taste too strongly of curry. It was good. Crispy on the outside. Juicy in the inside. The dipping sauce is scrumptious as well.
Quite a bit of the menu is gluten free. They have corn tortillas to dip in the za’atar.
For anyone who is avoiding oil… They are able to make all the salads without oil. The cauliflower can be made without oil. The pickles can be served without the tahini.

The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. Only 2 items on the menu were not gluten free. They have a dedicated oven and seperate kitchen space.
