What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Caesar salad with salmon or chicken kebab, requested without croutons.
- Greek salad with grilled chicken (and other GF-friendly tweaks to avoid pita).
- Grilled chicken feast or other “feast” plates ordered with no pita and sides such as roasted red potatoes.
- Build-your-own-style platters and bowls with GF-marked components, often including salads, grilled proteins, and rice or potatoes (avoid pita where applicable).
- Hummus with veggies and GF-marked menu items that are labeled gluten-free.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains possible even when orders are labeled GF.
- There are multiple recent accounts of gluten-containing items appearing on GF orders (e.g., croutons or pita on salads), though many of these were addressed by remaking the dish or adjusting preparation.
- To mitigate risk, many diners report asking for glove changes, fresh utensils/pans, and explicit notes on allergy orders. An online allergen/menu resource is referenced in the information set, and staff responsiveness varies by visit, which underscores the importance of clear communication at the point of order.
