Tawa Kitchen

Vegan options are extensive and clearly marked on the menu. Multiple HappyCow reviewers and the venue's own description confirm a largely plant-based menu with many clearly labelled vegan dishes. Staff are described as knowledgeable about what's vegan. The kitchen is shared (serves meat, fish, and dairy), so some cross-contact risk exists, but the menu labelling and staff awareness are strong.

Tawa Kitchen is described as an authentic Indian vegetarian restaurant that also serves fish and meat dishes. The menu is largely plant-based and vegetarian options are clearly marked alongside vegan and GF labels. The shared kitchen means vegetarian dishes share prep space with meat, but the menu's structure and staff awareness are good.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

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.

GF items are marked on the menu, and several coeliac diners report good experiences with clearly labelled dishes. However, the kitchen is shared and uses a common fryer for some GF items. Multiple staff contacts gave contradictory advice on protocols, and one staff member eventually told a sensitive coeliac they couldn't guarantee safety. Outcomes depend heavily on which chef is cooking and how busy the shift is.

Nut-free

The venue's allergen menu (PDF linked from the website) lists allergens per dish, so nut content is marked. The kitchen is shared and Indian cuisine commonly uses nuts (cashew, almond, peanut) in curries and garnishes. No source reports dedicated equipment or separate prep for nut-free orders. Diners with nut allergies should confirm their chosen dish directly with the chef.
