What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Harissa chicken bowl (no pita) is explicitly cited as a safe option.
- The menu is largely gluten-free aside from pita and some related items; an allergen guide and online labeling help identify GF choices.
- When dining, diners often request glove changes and fresh utensils, and some reviewers note staff pulling toppings from back or using separate bins to minimize cross-contact.
- Be mindful that pita, pita chips, falafel, and some other items are not gluten-free, and cross-contact risk is still present in a busy line.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk exists.
- Pita-based items and certain sides can reintroduce gluten if not avoided.
- Some experiences vary by staff training or line flow; a few reviews point to occasional missteps, especially during peak times.
- To maximize safety, insist on glove changes, request fresh utensils, and rely on the in-house allergen information and staff guidance.
