Gluten Free Eating at Taste of Africa

Our restaurant offers the unique and delicious flavors of Africa, all of which just happen to be naturally gluten-free. We use no wheat, barley or rye in the preparation of any of our dishes. Sauces are thickened with tomato sauce or egg when needed. This makes our kitchen and our menu entirely gluten free. You can order your meal with confidence and not even have to make those “special requests.” It’s all good!

Gluten Free Drinking at Taste of Africa

We currently carry different selection of sodas and some of these sodas may contain malt. All sodas are served in their own bottles in a separate cold case. We are also investigating the possibly serving gluten free beer and some wine in the future. We do not currently serve alcohol.  Bottled water is also available.

What is Gluten and Gluten-Free eating?

Gluten is a problem for as many as 10-15% of Americans. The details can be a little complicated but in general, gluten is a protein that is found in wheat, barley or rye and some other grains. Those grains can also be used to make a variety of other products like vinegar, and artificial flavoring or coloring to name just a few. Some people are intolerant of gluten (can’t process it well), some are allergic to gluten (classic allergy), and some follow a gluten free diet for other various reasons. People who follow a gluten free diet are most often those who suffer from Celiac Disease or who have wheat allergies. Many parents with autistic children have found a gluten free diet to be beneficial. If you would like more information you can go to www.celiac.org.
