Abla's

The dine-in menu marks numerous dishes with (GF) — including Labnee, Baba Gannouj, Hummous bi Tahini, Hummous bi Lahem, Mixed Dips, Makaneek, Chicken Wings, Chicken Livers, Lebanese Potatoes, and several mains — indicating allergen awareness and a marked menu. However, non-GF items (e.g. Tabouleh with cracked wheat, Fattoush with fried bread, Kibbee with cracked wheat, filo pastry dishes) are served in the same kitchen. No dedicated fryer or prep area is documented, and no coeliac accreditation is present. Cross-contamination risk should be assumed.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The menu marks several dishes (VG) — Baba Gannouj, Hummous bi Tahini, Lebanese Potatoes, Foulia Medammas, Salata, Arnabit Mishwee, Falafel, Silverbeet Rolls, Loubyeh, Ma'hshi Koussa — and one as (VGO) (Mjadra). Ladies' Fingers Vegetarian is also listed. Dishes use (VG) codes consistently for vegan items and the menu separates a 'Vegetarian and Salads' section. However, the kitchen also handles lamb, chicken and fish; shared prep is likely. No dedicated vegetarian/vegan kitchen or external certification.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Fish dishes are present (Samke Hara, Fresh Whole Garfish) alongside a wide vegetarian/vegan-marked selection, giving pescatarians substantial choice. The menu does not use a specific pescatarian code, but the GF/VG marking system and the clearly labelled meat-free dishes allow pescatarians to navigate. Shared kitchen with meat; no dedicated prep documented.
