Celiac safety assessment and key features

70%
Good

Baseema Food is a breath of fresh air for celiacs—every soup is proudly 100% gluten-free, vegan, and plant-based, so you can finally relax and savor without second-guessing. While Hala and Nahla don’t explicitly mention a dedicated gluten-free kitchen or their own celiac experiences, their unwavering commitment to labeling and allergen-friendly recipes speaks volumes. The menu leans into traditional Middle Eastern flavors, with lentil and chickpea soups that feel like a warm hug from someone who truly gets comfort food. Honestly, it’s just such a relief to find a place where ‘gluten-free’ isn’t an afterthought but the foundation—though if you’re hyper-sensitive, it’s always worth asking about cross-contact in shared prep environments.
