Celiac Safety Score

55
Moderate Safety

The Falafel Shack offers authentic Middle Eastern dishes with a focus on falafel and grilled meats, and the staff shows genuine care about customer experience. While the reviews highlight delicious food and friendly service, there's no clear mention of dedicated gluten-free facilities or strict safety measures. Given the lack of specific safety protocols or dedicated prep areas, it's hard to confidently recommend this spot for celiac diners. Cross-contamination risks are likely since traditional falafel and pita involve shared equipment and surfaces.
