Ka Pao Edinburgh

Verified-coeliac Edinburgh blogger Gluten Interrupted recommends Ka Pao as a 'must visit', citing a 'huge gluten free menu selection', a 'very clearly labelled menu', and 'excellent allergen knowledge' among staff. The itison listing confirms gluten/wheat-free options are available on request. No source describes a dedicated fryer or kitchen, so cross-contamination risk on shared equipment is assumed.

Vegetarian sharing plates are scattered throughout the menu (oyster mushrooms with pickled mooli, celeriac and turmeric curry, hispi cabbage with cashew nut butter, sprouting broccoli). The itison set menu explicitly notes vegetarian options are available on request. Shared kitchen with meat and seafood dishes.

Multiple sources confirm a meaningful vegan offering on the sharing-plates menu. Items include vegan corn ribs with salted coconut, soy and lime, salt and Szechuan pepper oyster mushrooms, charcoal-grilled celeriac, almond and turmeric curry, and roast Jerusalem artichoke and harlequin squash. The kitchen and prep are shared with meat and seafood dishes.
