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

Multiple sources confirm vegetarian-friendly options are available (falafel plate, hummus, dolmas, salads, Tabsi — roasted eggplant with capsicum, tomato and onion — and more). AGFG explicitly lists 'Vegetarian Options' as a venue attribute. However, this is a non-vegetarian kitchen also serving lamb, chicken, and kofta, so shared-prep cross-contamination is possible. No dedicated vegetarian prep area is described.

Halal

confidence 0.55 ·

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

AGFG lists 'Halal Options' as a venue attribute across two fetched snapshots. The restaurant serves Iraqi cuisine and the menu features lamb, chicken, and kofta. No formal halal certification or accreditation body is mentioned in any source; the claim appears to be a self-reported aggregator tag only. Customers with halal requirements should verify directly with the venue.

Reminder

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