Delicious sandwiches in the Harlem neighborhood. Gluten-free bread is also available for celiacs 😍 I don't think they are very attentive to contamination but it's like this throughout New York unfortunately. The staff is very kind. You can serve yourself and you can refill your carbonated drinks.

Our meal here was delightful. We had the veggie platter and added a lamb dish. I ordered the gluten free injeera and it was definitely worth it. When I come back to New York I will eat at Benyam. The food and service could not have been better. The place is clean but not fancy. It is basically my kind of restaurant with great food and an unpretentious atmosphere.

Went for lunch. Cute place with nice vibe, had to wait a little to get seats at a very wobbly table. Staff was nice and friendly. Part of the reason we came was because we knew they had a gluten free menu, as one of our family members has celiac. He wanted to order the schnitzel, which was listed as GF on the menu, but we double checked it, and it actually wasn't! So he got the salmon salad. He said the salmon was very dry. I ordered falafels - which were very good, and the shakshuka, which I didn't really care for. It was covered in green olives and feta, and I had to dig to find the eggs. The tomato sauce was overly spicy and I left most of it over. The chicken shawarma was too bland, and the fluffy potato chips were ok. Overall, not sure if we will be back, or maybe only to buy something from the cute shop that is in the front area that sells jewelry bags and scarves. Disappointed

We order for delivery. It arrived on time and with an excellent presentation. We ordered 2 impossible ones, one with gluten free bun and the other normal. And some jerk fries that turned out to be extremely spicy and nowhere did they clarify that fact. The burgers were delicious.

Lovely place, excellent food and beverages. Romantic but also family friendly. Several good gluten free options, my kid loved the chicken under a brick.

I can't believe I haven't been here a million times. They have a specific gluten free menu (which I need as I have an allergy to Gluten). Included so much - had the deviled eggs (yum!) and the shrimp and grits (the best!). I want to go back for the fried cat fish (cornmeal fried). Amazing service and good cocktails rounded out the experience.
