Vegan

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

Menu marks several dishes (vg) for vegan, including grilled halloumi (note: halloumi is dairy, so this marking appears inconsistent — likely an error on the venue's part), cigars (spinach/feta filo), falafel pockets, fattoush, tabbouleh, batata harra, and arnabeet. The (vg) tag appears to be used for 'vegetarian' rather than strict vegan in some cases (e.g. grilled halloumi with feta). Shared kitchen with meat and dairy. No dedicated prep confirmed.
