🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Shrimp kebab plate served w/out pita (explicitly described as GF by a diner)
  • Salmon burger with lettuce wraps (described as a safe option in review\n)
  • Crudité with hummus served instead of pita (GF-friendly substitution noted in a review)
  • Gluten-free desserts (explicitly mentioned as available in a review)
  • Romaine hearts used as a substitution for pita bread (noted as a GF substitution)
  • Menu items labeled GF and vegan, with staff asking about cross-contamination and options (supporting evidence from diners’ notes)

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contact risk exists in general operations.
  • A documented case noted falafel fried in a contaminated fryer, which highlights cross-contamination risk with fried items.
  • Some diners reported that staff are knowledgeable and provide cross-contamination guidance, and others noted that not all items are guaranteed gluten-free. For many guests, clear communication and substitutions appear to mitigate risk, but vigilance remains important.
