El falafel d'en Shani
The venue's own website states it holds a 'תעודת הכשר למהדרין' (strict/mehadrin kosher certificate), Wanderlog describes it as '100% kosher-certified falafel', and multiple reviewers specifically seek it out as one of the very few kosher options in Barcelona. The specific certifying body is not named in any source, so the exact accreditation slug cannot be recorded, but active certification is clearly stated by the venue itself and corroborated by multiple independent sources.

Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.
The entire menu is described as vegan, which is a structural superset of vegetarian. HappyCow lists it as a vegetarian restaurant and the venue website confirms fully vegan/vegetarian output. As a falafel-only stall there is no meat on the menu, making cross-contamination with meat structurally implausible at this stall, though the wider market context means total isolation is not verifiable.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The venue's own website describes the falafel as 'gluten-free' ('פלאפל ללא גלוטן'), and community reviewers on Atly confirm gluten-free and vegan falafel. However, this is an open market stall inside La Boqueria with no dedicated kitchen, no named accreditation body, and no structural evidence of a dedicated fryer or fully gluten-free prep environment — the Atly listing is explicitly marked 'Unverified'. Cross-contamination risk in a busy market setting cannot be ruled out.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The venue's own website explicitly states the falafel is 'completely vegan' ('טבעוני לחלוטין'), the HappyCow listing categorises it as a vegetarian restaurant with 'Ovo' notation and a reviewer describes it as 'vegan heaven', and multiple community sources confirm vegan falafel. No Vegan Society trademark or equivalent accreditation is mentioned; the market-stall setting with no dedicated kitchen means a formal structural guarantee is absent.

Halal

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.
No halal certification is mentioned in any source. The venue holds a kosher certification, and as a vegan-only falafel stall it serves no pork or alcohol, but no halal accreditation body is named and no source addresses halal suitability explicitly.
