Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Dishoom Edinburgh has an allergen-filterable online menu (accessed via QR code) that marks gluten-free items, and multiple community reviewers report knowledgeable staff. However, no dedicated fryer is confirmed (several reviewers explicitly note 'no dedicated fryer'), no dedicated kitchen exists, and the shared kitchen makes cross-contamination a real risk. The online allergen filter is described as very conservative, leaving very few GF options — mainly chicken tikka, some curries, and mocktails. One reviewer noted that 'none of their spices are safe for coeliac.' The venue is not a dedicated GF facility and should be approached with caution by coeliacs.

Honest caveat: Multiple coeliac reviewers report that very few items are genuinely safe and one reviewer was explicitly told none of the spices are coeliac-safe; staff knowledge varies by shift.

Dishoom Edinburgh is listed as 'vegan-friendly' on HappyCow and the official site, and a dedicated 'Vegan Edinburgh' menu is listed on dishoom.com. The 1948 Sour cocktail is explicitly described as using 'eggless (aquafaba) foam' with the note 'Vegans: enjoy.' Several dishes are marked Ve (vegan) on the menu (e.g. Carrot & Chilli Pickle, Steamed Basmati Rice). However, the kitchen is shared and serves meat; no vegan accreditation is held.

Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviewers note the venue is 'good for dairy-free,' and a HappyCow review mentions vegan options implying some dairy-free choices exist. No dedicated dairy-free menu or marking convention is evidenced in the scraped menu pages; the official menu marks some dishes Ve which would imply dairy-free. Shared kitchen applies.

The official Dishoom Edinburgh site lists 'Halal-friendly' under dining options. A third-party menu aggregator states 'chicken and lamb are halal, but beef is not, and alcohol is served on-site.' No formal halal certification from a recognised accreditation body is evidenced in the sources. The claim is self-described; diners should confirm directly.

The menu includes fish and seafood dishes such as Prawn Moilee and Goan Monkfish Curry alongside extensive vegetarian options. No specific pescatarian marking is shown, but the variety of fish/seafood and vegetarian dishes makes this venue suitable for pescatarians on a practical basis. Diners should verify specific dishes.
