Coeliac · Gluten-free

B
confidence 65%

Staff are well-trained on coeliac needs and a separate gluten-free menu is available, but the kitchen is shared and ingredients carry 'may contain traces of gluten' warnings. Reviews conflict on whether a dedicated fryer or kitchen space is used, so cross-contamination risk exists. Best to confirm protocols directly with staff.

confidence 60%

Several dishes are clearly labelled vegan on the menu, including Timtimo, Alicha, Hamli, Schiro, and Hummus. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination with non-vegan items is possible. Staff can likely advise on vegan options.
