Dolan Uyghur Cuisine
A small number of dishes are individually labelled gluten-free on the menu (e.g. Lamb Tripe, Sweet Chilli Eggplant, Garlic Cucumber). However, the venue's own allergen notice warns that 'our food may contain milk, eggs, wheat, soybeans, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, and fish,' explicitly acknowledging wheat as a potential allergen across the kitchen. The menu is dominated by hand-pulled wheat noodles and naan bread, indicating a high-gluten kitchen environment. No dedicated prep area or dedicated fryer is mentioned. Shared-kitchen cross-contamination risk is significant despite per-dish labelling.

Vegan

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
A 'Vegan Dishes' section exists on the menu listing three dishes. However, the same kitchen serves homemade yogurt, dumplings (egg/meat), and extensive meat dishes. No statement on cross-contamination avoidance for vegan dishes is made. The allergen notice references eggs and milk as potential allergens across the kitchen. Confidence is low as no structural safeguards are described.
Vegetarian
confidence 0.45 ·
Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The menu includes a dedicated 'Vegan Dishes' section (Sweet Chilli Eggplant, Bok Choy, Shredded Potatoes) and some salads appear vegetarian-friendly. However, the kitchen is predominantly a meat-focused Uyghur restaurant with no mention of dedicated prep areas or staff training for vegetarian cross-contamination. The allergen notice does not address vegetarian/vegan needs specifically.
Halal
confidence 0.65 ·
Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The menu explicitly states 'All items are Halal — All the meat, including beef, lamb, and chicken, are Halal, along with all their ingredients.' No independent third-party halal certification body recognised by FreeFromFinder is referenced in any source, so this is a venue self-declaration rather than an accredited claim.
Pescatarian

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The menu includes fish and prawn dishes (Tiger Prawns Noodle, Garlic Prawn, Fish in Fresh Chilli Sauce, Fish Fillet with Pickled Cabbage) alongside the vegan dishes section, meaning pescatarians have options. No specific pescatarian labelling exists; identification requires reading ingredient descriptions.
Nut-free
