An awesome spot with huge portions, tasty dishes, and a focus on accommodating special dietary needs—definitely worth a visit!
My daughter, her friend, and I enjoyed lunch here a few days ago. Two of the three of us are seriously gluten-free diners. The staff took good care of the orders to avoid any gluten ingredients or any cross contamination. The Find Me Gluten Free site says they have a gluten free menu. I suppose they do, but it's not printed or posted. You have to ask what you can safely eat if you are a GF diner. The answer is "nearly everything". One of us had beef shawarma, one had chicken shawarma, and the third had chicken fingers and fries. (You can take a person to a Middle Eastern restaurant but you cannot prevent him/her from eating Chicken Fingers. (Sigh.)) The bill was reasonable (about $10/person), and the food was very tasty. The portions are BIG; I couldn't even finish mine. All in all I enjoyed my visit very much and look forward to visiting again when I am in the area.

Great standby, especially if there are allergies, like gluten. Nice menu selection, plenty of choices. The food was very good, too. I had a steak that was cooked perfectly med rare. The chicken parm looked and was delish. Not too busy, but waitress forgot to mention drink special-$1 margs. Call button didn't get anyone's attention for over 10 minutes, and two orders had wrong sides, which we kept and ate. Not enough to freak about, drink was great when I finally got it, and all the food was delicious. Waitress was very nice. Would go back again!
