The Abyssinian Restaurant

No dedicated gluten-free menu, but GF injera is available on advance notice. The kitchen is not dedicated and does not have a dedicated fryer. A celiac reviewer reports that booking ahead and advising the need for GF injera results in accommodation, with all other dishes being naturally gluten-free.
