Per-allergen evidence

Vegetarian

confidence 90% ·

Verifiably safe, Independently verified safe for this allergen: either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or a current accreditation we've matched against the body's own published directory.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 80% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The menu marks gluten-free options (GFO/GF) and a dedicated fryer is used for falafel, with gluten-free bread available as a substitute. The only gluten in the kitchen is pita bread. Staff are trained and knowledgeable about coeliac needs. Multiple coeliac diners report no reactions.

Vegan

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Many dishes are marked vegan (V) or can be made vegan (VO), including falafel pitas, salads, and smoothies. The kitchen is shared with vegetarian items containing eggs and dairy, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are accommodating.
