Celiac safety profile

Mediterranean Restaurant
10417 Warwick Blvd, Newport News, VA 23601
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Kabobs (beef, lamb, chicken) – described by staff and diners as safe for celiac disease when prepared carefully, avoiding gluten-containing sources and cross-contact in the kitchen.
- Chelo Kebab Koobideh – explicitly labeled gluten-free on at least one menu-enabled listing, indicating a clearly GF option.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- This is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk remains a consideration. Staff may take precautions and explain how dishes are made, but the absence of a fully GF-certified environment means there is some inherent risk.
- One detail from a dining report mentions that bread is brought out at the start of a meal, which could pose exposure if gluten avoidance is critical for an individual with high sensitivity.
- Overall, the available evidence shows strong knowledge and a high proportion of GF offerings, but guests with extreme sensitivity should verify preparation practices and consider querying specifics about each dish.
