Atly reviewers specifically praise 'excellent vegan Ethiopian dishes'. No dedicated vegan-only prep area is documented; pescatarian dishes are served alongside, so cross-contact cannot be excluded.

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

Venue self-describes as a vegetarian kitchen; vegetarian options appear to be the default offering. Fish dishes are also served (pescatarian kitchen), so shared prep with fish is plausible.

Pescatarian

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.55 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Multiple community reviewers note they were able to eat gluten-free across the entire menu, and injera is offered in a gluten-free version. However, no dedicated kitchen, dedicated prep area, or staff-training programme is documented in any source, and the Atly listing is explicitly marked 'Unverified'. Suitable for gluten-avoiders but coeliac diners should verify cross-contamination controls before visiting.
