What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Falafel platter
- Fries
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The pita bread is regularly cited as gluten-containing; removing or avoiding pita is typically necessary to keep meals GF.
- While several diners report gluten-free handling (glove changes, dedicated GF fryer, clean surfaces), the restaurant is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains a consideration.
- Some items beyond pita (e.g., baklava) are not GF, so it’s important to verify ingredients for each order and communicate clearly with staff about gluten sensitivities.
