Celiac safety profile

Persian Restaurant · Middle Eastern Restaurant
640 L St NW, Washington, DC 20001
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Chicken kebabs (GF-friendly option mentioned in reviews)
- House-made hummus with gluten-free crackers
- Gluten-free dessert option (GF chocolate torte)
- General note: Many mains are described as GF because they are marinated/grilled meats with specialty rice, suggesting a common pattern of gluten-free preparation for core proteins and rice-based sides
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The facility is not dedicated gluten-free, which means cross-contamination risk cannot be ruled out.
- Review highlights indicate staff can warn about cross-contact and point out safe choices, but there is no stated, formal cross-contamination protocol available in the collected information.
- The combination of strong staff knowledge on GF items and non-dedicated facilities means safety is highly dependent on the server’s guidance and the kitchen’s handling of gluten-free dishes.
