The venue advertises gluten free options on its website and is listed as accommodating by the GF community on Atly, with trained staff. The kitchen is shared, and gluten-containing ingredients such as wheat, seitan, and soy sauce are used. Atly explicitly notes some risk of cross-contamination. A community reviewer flagged very few gluten free options and no GF buns available. Coeliac diners should ask detailed questions about each dish.

confidence 55%

Brother Bon operates a 100% vegan kitchen that uses ingredients such as satay skewers, peanut satay udon, and other dishes containing peanuts and hazelnuts. Nuts are present on the premises. HappyCow reviews mention peanut satay dishes and a banana hazelnut roti, confirming that nut ingredients are used. No dedicated nut-free protocols are documented. Diners with nut allergies should speak with staff about specific dishes.

Halal

C
confidence 45%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The venue describes itself as 'HALAL FRIENDLY' on its own website, though no formal halal certification from a recognised accreditation body (like MUIS or similar) is referenced in any source. 'Halal friendly' remains the venue's own unverified self-declaration. Diners who require certified halal should call ahead.

Reminder

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