KATA KITA

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu and staff are generally knowledgeable — multiple reviewers report staff checking with the chef for coeliac diners — but no dedicated fryer is confirmed (flagged negatively by two community reports) and at least one reviewer was told that most GF-marked dishes contain traces of gluten. Shared prep environment means cross-contamination risk is acknowledged.

Honest caveat: One reviewer was told by staff that most GF-marked dishes (except Nasi Goreng) contain traces of gluten, and another noted a GF-marked item contained soy sauce — always verify each dish verbally with staff.

One community reviewer reported the venue is 'good for dairy-free', and the menu labelling reportedly includes dairy-free indicators alongside gluten-free and nut-free markers; no dedicated prep area or staff training specific to dairy is documented.

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

Shellfish is a core ingredient at Kata Kita — sambal underscored with shrimp and dishes such as Pippies Saos Padang and prawn-based soups are signature menu items — making this venue structurally inappropriate for shellfish-anaphylaxis diners.
