Best Gluten Free American in Brooklyn

Laser Wolf Brooklyn delivers a truly vibrant Israeli feast where almost everything—except the pita—is naturally gluten-free. The kitchen team, led by chefs with serious culinary chops, prepares grilled meats, crisp veggies, and creamy hummus with clear awareness of celiac needs; cucumber slices are cheerfully subbed in for pita, and dessert toppings can be modified for safety. Most guests with celiac have reported feeling heard and well cared for, with knowledgeable staff and a dedicated fryer for fries and wings, though occasional reports of cross-contact remind us this isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility. If you’re comfortable in settings where the risk is minimized but not eliminated, you’ll find Laser Wolf’s rooftop views and bold flavors make for a memorable (and mostly stress-free) night out—but as always, communicate your needs clearly and stay alert for comfort’s sake.

Laser Wolf’s rooftop Israeli feast is a rare treat for gluten-free diners—almost every dish is naturally gluten-free, with the only exception being the pita (and they’ll happily sub in crisp cucumber slices for you). The staff consistently demonstrate strong awareness, double-checking ingredients and making thoughtful accommodations like separate toppings for dessert. While the open kitchen isn’t fully dedicated, their fryer and grill are reportedly used just for gluten-free items, minimizing cross-contact risk—a huge relief when so many places can’t make that promise. Still, there’s a trace of anxiety since protocols aren’t documented and one recent guest did report a reaction—so, if you’re especially sensitive, it’s worth an extra conversation with your server. But honestly, when the skyline glows and those skewers hit the table, it’s hard not to feel both seen and celebrated.

Cafe Mogador Williamsburg isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, but they’ve become a bit of a safe haven for celiacs who miss communal brunches and crave those warm, aromatic Moroccan flavors. The staff here genuinely gets it—servers know the ins and outs of cross-contact, cheerfully offer substitutions (think rice instead of couscous, veggies for pita), and even make note of celiac needs on orders. There’s no official gluten-free menu, but you’ll find plenty to savor: kebabs sizzling off the grill, mezze platters bright with lemony hummus, and the comfort of gluten-free bread when you’re lucky. While a rare hiccup has occurred, most celiac diners leave feeling heard, safe, and—honestly—just plain happy to enjoy a meal out without anxiety.
