The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, but multiple coeliac diners report a clearly marked allergy-friendly menu, knowledgeable staff who discuss cross-contamination protocols, and a chef who comes out to talk to guests. Some reviews mention a dedicated fryer and food flagged with allergy picks. Two separate locations exist (Orlando, FL and Whittlesea, VIC), each with slightly different feedback: the Whittlesea venue has only one review noting separate tongs, while the Orlando venue has many positive coeliac experiences. The menu marks GF items, but the shared kitchen means risk remains; the chef can be asked to handle the meal.
