Amara Kitchen

Menu marks GF/GFO items. Not a dedicated GF kitchen; multiple community reports document a shared grill where GF tortillas are heated alongside wheat tortillas, and at least one glutening incident. Staff knowledge varies; some diners report dedicated kitchen space while others describe cross-contamination. Best suited for gluten-sensitive diners tolerant of trace gluten.
