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.

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