Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

78%
Good

Fattoush feels like that rare, comforting spot where celiacs can actually relax a little—no need to grill the staff for every detail (though you absolutely can). Their gluten-free wraps and pita have earned almost legendary status in the local community, and the dedicated fryer for falafel and fries is a huge sigh of relief for anyone who's ever had to skip the sides. While it's not a 100% gluten-free kitchen, the staff consistently come across as knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely eager to get it right—think of that extra care you wish every place would show. If you're missing shawarma or crave a wrap that doesn't taste like cardboard, this is one of those places where eating out feels like something you get to do, not something you have to worry about every second.
