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

The à la carte menu is described as '100% plant-based' (i.e. fully vegan) with 15 gluten-free options noted; some dishes in an older review required modification upon request to be vegan, but current official copy states the lunch/dinner menu is 100% vegan. The kitchen is entirely plant-based so no animal-product cross-contamination from meat or fish.

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

The official website lists 12–15 gluten-free options on the menu, including gluten-free desserts, indicating marked menu items. However, this is a shared kitchen with gluten-containing dishes (breadcrumbs, noodles, batter noted in reviews), so cross-contamination risk is acknowledged and no dedicated preparation area or accreditation is evidenced.
