What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Chicken Tarna (plate) with no pita
- Plates or bowls featuring chicken with rice and sides such as hummus and cucumber salad (ordered without pita)
- Sauces and non-pita sides that are part of the standard, gluten-free portions of the menu
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The location is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risks remain a possibility in a shared kitchen.
- Some staff have shown variability in gluten knowledge (one recent shopper noted a cashier who wasn’t sure what gluten is, while other reports describe staff using allergen guides and following protocols).
- To reduce risk, rely on “no bread” options and confirm any dish is prepared with gluten-free ingredients and cross-contamination precautions in place.
