Verifiably Safe, Either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or actively certified by a recognised accreditation body for this allergen.

The venue explicitly states 'we do only serve vegetarian and vegan food and don't allow any meat in the building.' The entire menu as published contains no fish or seafood. A fully plant-based kitchen makes this structurally safe for pescatarians (no meat present), though pescatarians who eat fish would find no fish dishes available either.

Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.

Gluten items are present on the menu (Laffa bread and a small number of dishes marked 'ngf'), but the vast majority of dishes are gluten-free. Multiple self-identified coeliac reviewers report a dedicated fryer (4 reports on FMGF), knowledgeable staff who explain cross-contamination protocols, and staff willing to clean kitchen space or change gloves. Items clearly marked 'ngf' on the menu. The venue's own website states: 'as we handle gluten in our kitchens we cannot guarantee a 100% trace-free environment.' Not a dedicated kitchen; full Tier S/A is not warranted.

Bubala Soho is an entirely vegetarian and vegan restaurant — no meat or fish on the premises. The website states 'we do only serve vegetarian and vegan food and don't allow any meat in the building.' Menu is clearly marked for vegetarian items ('v'). A dedicated no-meat kitchen provides a structural guarantee for vegetarians.

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

The venue describes all dishes as vegan 'unless stated otherwise', and a separate vegan set menu is available. The menu marks non-vegan items (e.g., 'v = vegetarian'). However, dairy items (labneh, halloumi) and eggs are used in the kitchen alongside vegan dishes, so shared prep is the structural reality. No vegan accreditation cited.

The menu marks certain dishes as 'nut free upon request' (e.g., baba ganoush, coffee rub kohlrabi, saffron malabi), indicated with an asterisk (*), suggesting nuts are present in the kitchen and some dishes can be adapted. No dedicated nut-free prep area mentioned. Shared kitchen environment with nut-containing dishes.

Multiple reviewers note the venue is 'good for dairy-free' (3 reports on FMGF), and the menu is predominantly vegan (dairy-free by default). However, dairy items such as halloumi and labneh are actively used in the kitchen, with no dedicated dairy-free prep area cited. No dairy-free marking system on the menu beyond the default vegan designation.

The venue's own website states: 'We are not officially recognised as a kosher restaurant, however, we do only serve vegetarian and vegan food and don't allow any meat in the building.' No kosher certification. Some kosher-observant diners may find the all-vegetarian, dairy-present menu acceptable depending on their requirements, but this would need direct inquiry.
