ILoveIstanbul

The menu (via restaurantguru.com) uses explicit GF and GFO codes on individual dishes: a dedicated 'GLUTEN FREE KEBABS' section lists chicken (gf) and falafel/lentil (v, gf) served on a gluten-free wrap; other items carry 'gfo' (gluten-free option available). The mindtrip.ai snippet also singles out the 'gluten-free chicken kebab' as a standout. However, this is a shared kitchen serving standard wheat-based Turkish bread and pastries; no dedicated fryer or prep area is documented, and cross-contamination risk must be assumed.

Pescatarian

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The menu lists 'FISH AND CHIPS' as one item, and the venue otherwise centres on meat kebabs and vegetarian options. No pescatarian-specific marking or accommodation is documented; the fish dish exists but there is no evidence staff are briefed on pescatarian requests.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
