Shanikas Pakenham

User reviews on FindMeGlutenFree indicate that most pasta and pizza can be made gluten-free as the dishes are made to order, but the kitchen is not dedicated and the fryer is shared with gluten-containing items. One reviewer explicitly called the venue not coeliac-friendly due to cross-contamination risk, and another noted that staff may downplay the shared-fryer issue. The site itself warns that this is not a dedicated facility. If you are coeliac, call ahead to discuss your specific needs.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Honest caveat: No dedicated fryer; shared fryer for gluten-containing items and reported lack of staff awareness about cross-contamination risk.
