Cafe Istanbul isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, but you know what? They do make an honest effort for celiac diners. The menu is clearly marked with GF options, and several recent celiac guests report that staff check with the kitchen and owner, using separate pans when you flag your needs. That said, it’s still a shared kitchen, so cross-contact is possible—especially if you’re highly sensitive. If you’re comfortable with well-trained staff and open communication, there’s a lovely variety of Mediterranean fare to savor safely (the lamb shank and kebabs are favorites), but always remind your server about your celiac requirements just to keep things extra safe.
