Also very allergen/restricted diet friendly. All menu items are clearly marked vegan, gluten free, dairy free, containing peanut oil,

Pretty terrible matcha for a place that is charging 7 dollars for it. Took 10 minutes for my drink to get made (after ordering it from the kiosk) while I watched others get their much more complicated orders get made. My matcha was a swampy green color that was not mixed very well, I don’t think this was very good quality matcha. Or maybe the barista was having a bad day. I don’t know. Don’t believe Google Maps when it says this is the highest rated cafe that you should go to. Outside and inside seating is non-existent; and the view from outside is not particularly nice. Also, the only gluten free thing is the Turkish Delight. Would skip this one frankly.

Meze is a truly a gem on 18th. The service here is fantastic - Rocky was so kind and helpful - and THE FOOD. The menu is incredibly vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free friendly, everything tasted fresh and well seasoned, the kitchen was able to make accommodations even beyond those available by the menu, and the bartenders were quick and attentive with their cocktails. There is a lot of seating too, both indoors and outdoors, which makes this a great place for a large group.
ilili Restaurant

This review is for Dimitri. He is hands down one of the best servers I have ever had in my life. He had such a calm demeanor, extremely kind and made sure to accommodate our friends gluten allergy. He went above and beyond to make us feel at home, and welcomed. You guys have a gem, and I hope he is appreciated as much as we do. We will be back, for Dimitri and the food.

The chicken roti bowl was excellent!! I did not get my gluten free pita as they put a regular one in my 2nd day's order so that was frustrating but the food was great and my pick up order was fresh. The gluten free pita I did get on the 1st order was great!

Despite ordering strictly from the gluten free menu, I had a member of my party get severely sick. She has celicac disease and experienced extreme nausea and vomiting shortly after our brunch.
