Allergen Information | Phoenician Garden

A note before you read

Our kitchen handles all nine of the major food allergens recognized by the U.S. FDA: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. Cross-contact during preparation is possible. We cannot guarantee that any item is free from any allergen.

If you or someone in your party has a severe allergy, please tell your server before you order, or call us at (559) 261-2747 ahead of time. We will walk through the dish with the kitchen and do everything reasonable to keep you safe. The information below is current as of June 8, 2026, and is updated as recipes change.

Our cooking oil is soybean oil

Soybean oil is our standard cooking oil. Anything we fry, sauté, or grill on the line touches soybean oil, so soy is present in those dishes. Cold-prep items such as hummus, baba ghannouj, tabouleh, labneh, and most salads do not use our cooking oil. Most desserts also do not.

A few high-frequency notes

Sesame. Tahini is in hummus, baba ghannouj, falafel sauce, and shawarma plates. We treat the prep line as sesame-exposed throughout.
Wheat. Pita, lavash, bulgur, baklava phyllo, and breaded items all contain wheat. Many plates come with pita as a standard accompaniment.
Dairy (milk). Yogurt is in our labneh, our tzatziki on the Gyro Wrap, and in our baba ghannouj. Anything with yogurt or cheese contains milk.
Tree nuts. Walnuts are in baklava. Pistachios are in baklava cheesecake, ashtalieh, and kneffeh. Pine nuts (classified as tree nuts) are in kibbeh.
Gluten-free planning. We do not run a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. We can prepare items made without wheat ingredients, but cannot guarantee they are gluten-free.

Top-9 allergens by menu item

A solid dot means the allergen is in the standard recipe. A light dot means the standard accompaniment (pita, side) contains it. A blank cell means it is not in the standard recipe, but cross-contact is still possible.

Cross-contact and shared equipment

Our kitchen is not allergen-free. Shared prep surfaces, shared fryer oil, and shared cooking equipment mean cross-contact is possible on any item, even when the allergen is not in the recipe. The disclosure above reflects standard recipes. If your allergy is severe, please tell us before you order so we can guide you and the kitchen.

Items prepared without specific ingredients (for example, plates without pita) can be requested, but we cannot guarantee they are entirely free from the corresponding allergen.

Telling us about an allergy

The most reliable way to plan a safe meal is to tell us before you order. You can do that two ways:

Call ahead: (559) 261-2747

In person: 1025 E Herndon Ave #106, Fresno, CA 93720 · mention the allergy to your server before you order.
