How this list is built: every spot is checked against our allergen standard: published allergen info, cross-contact handling, and real diner reports. Places we can't verify aren't added. We never call a restaurant “safe.”
“Lots of variety, exceptional food. They cannot guarantee no cross contamination as everything is made in the same kitchen. However, I did not get sick after eating their food. Dips can come with cucumbers instead of pita. The chicken kebabs are safe and to die for. Great atmosphere, knowledgeable staff.
Check against your allergiesSesame is the one to watch — tahini and hummus are everywhere, and sesame is in many breads and spice blends (za'atar, dukkah). Nuts appear in rice dishes, dips and desserts (baklava). Wheat shows up in pita, couscous and falafel binders, and dairy in yogurt-based sauces and cheeses.
This is the cuisine to be most careful with — tahini (sesame) is in hummus, baba ganoush and many dressings, and sesame is baked into breads. Ask about every dip and sauce specifically.
Many grilled meats and salads are naturally nut-free, but rice pilafs, some dips and most desserts contain nuts. Confirm the rice, sauces and any 'house' dish.
Not always — some recipes use wheat flour as a binder and most are fried in shared oil. Ask whether the falafel is flour-free and how it's fried.
