Celiac Safety Score

Moderate Safety

Honestly, Mandaloun Mediterranean Cuisine is a tough call for celiacs. While some naturally gluten-free dishes like hummus, grilled meats, and salads might seem safe on paper, the lack of a dedicated gluten-free menu and no mention of cross-contamination protocols make things risky. Staff can sometimes identify which items don't contain gluten ingredients, but ingredients like wheat sneak into unexpected places (those grape leaves are a moving target!). If you have celiac disease, it’s one of those spots where you’ll spend more time worrying than enjoying your meal—and that’s no way to dine.
