Hochi Mama CBD

Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu with a separate coeliac menu available. Multiple diners report a dedicated gluten-free fryer. Staff are knowledgeable and trained on coeliac needs. The kitchen is not fully dedicated (shared prep area) but the dedicated fryer and allergen marking reduce cross-contamination risk.
