What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free injera (gf injera)
- Meat dishes and veggie dishes that are naturally gluten-free
- Dishes served on rice (instead of injera)
- Gluten-free salad dressing (available upon request)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There are reports that a salad dressing contains gluten, so avoid that dressing or request a gluten-free version.
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contact remains a possibility if precautions are not followed or if communication between server and kitchen isn’t precise.
- A recent experience noted a gluten exposure linked to a dressing, though the restaurant refunded the meal in that case. It underscores the importance of explicit instructions to the staff about gluten-free needs and potential cross-contact points.
