What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread (provided upon request; warmed slices available)
- Gluten-free calamari
- Hummus served with gluten-free bread instead of pita
- Spinach rolls made with gluten-free phyllo dough
- Lamb Adana with rice on the side (instead of bulgur)
- Rice-based options in entrees where bulgur or wheat-based sides may be avoided
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk cannot be fully ruled out. A third-party gluten-free resource notes the establishment is not dedicated GF and may not be safe for those with celiac disease, so it’s wise to ask questions and proceed with caution.
- There are positive details suggesting cross-contamination precautions can be strong in practice: some staff have shown knowledge about gluten/allergies, and a dedicated fryer for calamari has been mentioned in at least one account.
- Menu labeling and staff responses appear helpful in guiding safe choices, but consistency across all items isn’t guaranteed from the evidence.
