Tavlin

Tavlin is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, but offers GF wraps and has a separate fryer for chips and falafel. Staff are reported to change gloves and use a clean prep area for coeliac orders. One coeliac diner had a positive experience, while another gluten-intolerant diner reported a reaction to chicken shawarma. The menu marks some items as GF (chicken shawarma, grilled chicken skewer, lamb & veal kofta, falafel with amba).
