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.

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 header explicitly states: 'Toutes nos viandes proviennent de Suisse, d'Australie et de Nouvelle Zélande et son Halal' (All our meats come from Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand and are Halal). This is a clear structural statement directly on the venue's own menu page.

marked menu

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 60% ·

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

The restaurant is known to accommodate gluten-free diners, with staff willing to bring gluten-free naan and reassure coeliac guests about ingredients. However, the kitchen is shared and traditional wheat-based naan and chapati are made on-site, so some risk of cross-contamination exists.

Vegan

confidence 50% ·

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.

The menu lists several vegetarian dishes (e.g. chana masala, dal tarka, sabzi korma) that are likely vegan, and reviewers note that the restaurant accommodates varying dietary requirements including vegan. But the menu does not mark vegan dishes explicitly and many gravies contain cream, butter, or yoghurt, so it's safest to discuss with staff.

Dairy-free

confidence 40% ·

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.

Many dishes contain cream, butter, yoghurt, cheese (paneer), and ghee. No menu markings for dairy-free options. One review notes a diner with dairy/gluten/shellfish allergies was well accommodated, but this is a single report. Guests with dairy intolerance should ask staff for guidance.

Reminder

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