Review of Zorba's Cafe

1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

Overall Rating

Review


We ordered food here last night and explicitly mentioned having a severe gluten allergy (celiac), and that no cross contamination could happen with the food. The food was delivered and labelled gluten free. Based on this and reviews, we assumed it was ok. It was not. I woke up sick in the middle of the night. Tested the food with my NIMA gluten sensor (google it). Multiple dishes we had contained gluten. This is a reckless way to operate a business. Comes at the expense of knowingly shortening a human’s lifespan by telling them an allergen isn’t present, then serving them food with it. Unacceptable and unethical way of operating a business. I would not suggest trusting their “gluten free” label, you very likely will get sick.
