Celiac Safety Score

79
Good for Celiac

Lemat brings a rare sense of relief for celiac diners craving bold, authentic Ethiopian flavors—their kitchen crafts 100% teff injera and nearly every dish is naturally gluten-free. While the restaurant isn't a dedicated gluten-free facility, they've put real effort into cross-contamination controls: samosas (the lone gluten item) have separate equipment, and staff are well-versed in celiac safety. Most regulars with celiac report feeling safe and satisfied after meals, though there has been at least one reported reaction, which is a sobering reminder that even the best protocols aren't foolproof in shared environments. Still, if you've ever longed to scoop up spicy lentil wot or crispy fish with injera worry-free, Lemat is about as close as it gets—just make sure to have a candid conversation with your server if you're ultra-sensitive.
