Top 5 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Spots to Delight in Kirkland

Amanda Olson

I love this place. I almost always get the chicken bowl, which you can request to be mild, medium or extra spicy. The chicken is very moist and flavorful and the garlic sauce is divine. They have delicious food and are accommodating to those who can’t either gluten or dairy/egg. It’s great how they label which items are gluten free / dairy free on the online menu. The only strange thing is that I’m unsure if/when they sell baba ghanoush, which I would order every time if I could. It is unavailable to order online but I did order it in-person once (the worker added for me as I was not able to locate it on the ordering system), so they must have it sometimes? I’m unclear as to what’s going on there. Would be nice to have all the time.

Personally, my wife and I driver over 45 minutes to get here as often as possible. We love how the chicken is grilled and the garlicky spices. Everything tastes great our our favorites is Diablo Chicken, Algerian Chicken, hummus and the homemade salad dressing. One thing you have to keep in mind if you don't like garlic this is the wrong place, other wise this is he's in on earth for the rest of us. Lastly, they have many gluten free options.

First of all, it is NOT "$" restaurant. $28 appetizer and $26 shawarma, which is basically street food and $6 drinks do not quality as "$". More like $$$. For $6 we got glass of coke which was barely 8 oz and half ice. Next, I told waitress that my daughter is celiac and we need gluten free. So hold the bread please and bring us shawarma without pita, just chicken salad and fries. Next thing happens she bring appetizer plate with bread AND puts bread in front of my celiac daughter. WTH??? To add insult to injure we were charged $3 each for the shawarma "as salad". Basically they hold bread for $3 extra. ONLY DISCOVERED ON FINAL CHECK. Asked why, the answer was "This is how we do it". If you want to be ripped off and get street food for two for over $100, be my guest. The food was not particularly different from typical Mediterranean outlet, we can get BETTER meat, salad, rice and hummus for like $20 per person including tax and tip.

Swung by for a late lunch on a random Wednesday - super nice owners and service. We got Fesenjoon and saffron rice pudding - both delicious. Two of us could split a serving and had leftovers to take home. Gluten Free options were clearly labeled (appreciate this as a celiac). Nice, calm environment - would definitely recommend.

Great gluten free falafels! Best food court in Kirkland. I also loved their new Dubai pistachio chocolate! It tastes so amazing, highly recommend.
