Shelanous

Shelanous's own website states: 'Shelanous is certified by Kosher Australia which also aligns with halal requirements.' Kosher Australia certification is a recognised accreditation body; Kosher certification inherently prohibits pork and requires separate meat/dairy handling, which satisfies core halal structural requirements. The venue also explicitly markets 'Halal friendly options' across multiple pages. Advance enquiry is still recommended for guests with strict halal requirements.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.55 ·

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

Multiple sources confirm Shelanous accommodates gluten-free diners, with community reviewers praising full inclusion across all dishes. However, no dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned, no allergen-marked menu exists (it is a fixed degustation with no menu to choose from), and accommodation is via advance enquiry. The structural kitchen setup for gluten-free is not described in any source.
