Tier A: an accreditation by a recognised gluten-free / coeliac-safety body was claimed, but the body's published directory does not list the venue. No other third-party evidence supports the certification. Other signals on record include a dedicated kitchen claimed, a dedicated fryer claimed, and staff trained. The venue should be treated as gluten-free / coeliac-aware rather than gluten-free / coeliac-certified until verifiable accreditation can be produced.

Kosher

confidence 60% · May 23, 2026
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Plunky Falafel Restaurant describes itself on its website as a kosher, vegetarian restaurant, though no independent certification from a recognised kosher authority, such as the London Beth Din Kashrut, has been noted. This claim is made solely by the venue.

Vegetarian

B
confidence 50% · May 23, 2026

The venue is described as offering vegetarian-friendly options from a shared kitchen, not a dedicated vegetarian facility. A dedicated kitchen was previously claimed, but this could not be verified. Patrons should ask staff about preparation separation before relying on the kitchen for vegetarian safety.

Best effort ·what tier C means

Plunky Falafel Restaurant operates as a kosher vegetarian restaurant. Falafel and salads are naturally vegan-friendly, though the menu also includes egg (sabich) and dairy items such as halloumi and cheese. No source explicitly states that the venue accommodates vegan requests or marks vegan options. Community help is wanted to confirm vegan accommodation.

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