Several menu items like chicken shawarma, grilled chicken skewer, and lamb and veal kofta are marked GF, and a coeliac diner reports staff changed gloves and used a separate prep area for their meal. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing pita and laffa, so cross-contamination is possible, but the venue takes clear precautions.
