Bubala Soho

The venue is entirely vegetarian, with absolutely no meat allowed on the premises. The menu marks vegetarian dishes when they deviate from the default vegan. This is as safe as it gets for vegetarians.

Almost the entire menu is vegan unless a dish is explicitly marked as vegetarian (v), and because the kitchen is shared with vegetarian dishes, some cross-contamination is possible. Staff are knowledgeable and can guide diners.

The menu clearly marks which items are not gluten free ('ngf'), and the kitchen can cook dishes separately to reduce cross-contamination. But gluten is handled in the shared kitchen, so the restaurant does not guarantee a 100% trace-free environment. It is a reliable option for coeliacs who are comfortable with some risk; those who are highly sensitive should call ahead.

The menu marks items that can be made nut free with an asterisk, but that requires advance notice. There's no dedicated equipment, so risk of cross-contamination exists. Order ahead to be safe.

Most dishes are vegan (dairy-free), but some vegetarian dishes may contain dairy. The menu makes it easy to identify dairy-free options. There is not a dedicated dairy-free kitchen, but staff can help.

The default vegan menu is egg-free, but some vegetarian dishes may contain eggs. Clear menu labelling and helpful staff make it manageable, though the kitchen is not dedicated.
