The allergen matrix shows crustaceans are not listed as present in any menu item listed, and the only item marked with molluscs is the Fish Over Rice and Fish Gyro. The kitchen's halal focus means shellfish is not a core ingredient, but shared fryers and equipment mean cross-contact is possible. Staff can confirm per dish.

The official allergen matrix shows many dishes 'contain' cereals containing gluten (Chicken Over Rice, Combo Over Rice, Chicken Gyro, Beef Burger, Philly Cheese Steak, chicken nuggets, pita). Some items such as Lamb Over Rice, Kofta Over Rice are marked as not containing gluten, but the kitchen uses shared preparation areas, equipment, and cooking oil, and management explicitly states 'we cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely allergen-free'. Cross-contact risk is high, so coeliac diners need to ask careful questions every visit.
