Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.

The menu includes a variety of vegetarian options, as noted by multiple sources. The Ethiopian Dining listing and Wanderlog reviews explicitly mention 'a variety of vegetarian and meat options'. However, there is no dedicated vegetarian kitchen or marked menu; dishes are prepared in a shared kitchen. Staff can accommodate vegetarian requests.

Harar Mesob is an Ethiopian restaurant in Footscray. The menu is built around injera (teff-based flatbread) and stews, which are naturally gluten-free, but the venue does not have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, Coeliac Australia accreditation, or a marked gluten-free menu. No source mentions staff training on coeliac safety, separate prep areas, or dedicated fryers. Ethiopian cuisine is inherently gluten-free for many dishes, but cross-contamination risk from shared surfaces and utensils is unaddressed in the available evidence.
