Amazing lunch! BEST sandwich/burger I’ve ever had. I got the turkey club and it was to die for. Very accommodating for Celiacs!!!!
Roti was great! Visited for lunch while touring GWU. Many GF options and friendly, knowledgeable staff. They all changed their gloves and got some ingredients from the back to ensure no cross-contam.
Turkey cheddar=perfect lunch
