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 identified as safe.
- The broader pattern indicates most menu items are gluten-free when pita and falafel are avoided. An allergen-focused approach (gluten-free labeling) is commonly referenced in reviews.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists.
- Pita bread/pita chips and falafel are the primary gluten-containing items to avoid.
- While many diners report strong safety practices (glove changes, fresh utensils, and clear allergen guidance), there are occasional notes of missteps during busy periods or when orders are not clearly separated. The consistent thread across recent experiences is that staff are responsive to gluten-free needs when requested.
