Dairy-free

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

AGFG lists dairy-free options as a feature; the kosher certification (meat/dairy separation rules) and the largely plant-based menu support dairy-free availability, though the structural separation details are not confirmed beyond the allergen chart reference on the official site.

Egg-free

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

HappyCow notes that a few dishes contain egg; the Sabich pita pocket includes hard boiled egg per the official website, but it can be omitted on request. Egg is present in the kitchen so cross-contamination risk cannot be excluded.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.50 ·

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

AGFG lists gluten-free options as a feature, and the official website directs allergy queries to an allergen chart and offers chef contact for specific ingredient questions; however, the venue is a pita bakery making fresh pita daily, meaning gluten is a core product in the kitchen and no dedicated gluten-free preparation area or certification is documented.
