What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Injera (teff-based bread) is described as gluten-free by recent diner reports, with one reviewer noting the provider sources injera made without gluten.
- Gluten-free bread is reportedly available on occasion, described by a reviewer as “guaranteed gf bread.”
- While injera and bread may be safe in some cases, there is also discussion in reviews about potential cross-contamination depending on who is working and how the injera is prepared. This underscores the importance of asking for teff-only injera or staff guidance at the moment of ordering.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination remains a possibility.
- There are historical notes from older diners about cross-contact risk with injera, though more recent experiences suggest staff can guide guests to gluten-free options and minimize risk.
- When ordering, it’s important to communicate the need for strict gluten-free handling and, where possible, confirm teff-only injera or guaranteed gluten-free components with the staff.
