Borsch Vodka & Tears

Several dishes are individually marked GF on the Uber Eats menu (Cabbage Rolls (GF, DF), Potato Blintzes (V, GF), Polish Sausage (DF, GF), Pickles (VG, DF, GF), Fries (VG, DF, GF)). There is no evidence of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, dedicated fryer, or any coeliac accreditation. The kitchen clearly handles gluten-containing products (pierogi dough, bread, schnitzel). Shared-kitchen cross-contamination risk applies.

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

Several dishes are marked (VG) on the Uber Eats menu listing (Pickles (VG, DF, GF), Fries (VG, DF, GF), Vegan Fried Chicken (VG)). The venue website states 'the majority of our dishes are deliberately vegetarian or vegan'. Uber Eats also lists the restaurant under the 'Vegan' cuisine category. However, this is a shared kitchen also serving meat and dairy dishes, so cross-contamination risk is present.
