Hopper Joint

Naturally gluten-free menu base (hoppers are fermented rice flour, all curries reported GF) with a dedicated fryer for GF items and a separate fryer for the few gluten-containing dishes. Staff consistently reported as knowledgeable by multiple coeliac reviewers; no gluten-free menu but staff verbally identify safe dishes. A small number of menu items do contain gluten and are prepared on a separate bench, so this is not a fully dedicated kitchen. Multiple coeliac diners (including symptomatic coeliacs) report no reactions.

Multiple reviewers note the venue is 'good for dairy-free', consistent with traditional Sri Lankan cooking using coconut cream rather than dairy. No formal dairy marking on the menu is evidenced; classification is based on community reports only.
