Shaku Maku

The menu uses numeric allergen codes (e.g. '1' for gluten/bread-containing items, '11' for sesame) on individual dishes, allowing gluten-containing dishes to be identified. Many dishes lack allergen code 1 and may be gluten-free (e.g. Batata Harah, Lebanese Grilled Chicken, Plain Rice, most grilled meats). However there is no GF marking per se, no dedicated fryer or prep area mentioned, no staff training reference, and no accreditation. The kitchen handles wheat-based flatbreads (Manaeesh, pitta) throughout. Cross-contamination risk for coeliacs is real and unmitigated by the sources.

Vegan

confidence 0.65 ·

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

A named 'Vegan Mezze for 2' (€28) is listed on the menu comprising Hummus, Tabouleh, Stuffed Vine Leaves, Batata Hara and Cauliflower Fritters. Several dishes carry (V) marking but the menu does not use a separate VG/vegan code; vegan options must be inferred from ingredients. No dedicated kitchen or accreditation. Cross-contamination risk is not addressed for a kitchen handling meat, dairy and eggs throughout.

Vegetarian

confidence 0.75 ·

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

Menu marks multiple dishes with (V) for vegetarian (Classic Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Batata Harah, Cauliflower Fritters, Stuffed Vine Leaves, Freekeh Stuffed Aubergine, Classic Zaatar, Cheese and Za'atar). A dedicated 'Vegan Mezze' sharing platter is also listed. No evidence of a dedicated kitchen or formal accreditation; allergen codes are present but this is a Middle Eastern kitchen handling meat throughout.

Nut-free

confidence 0.55 ·

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

The menu codes allergen '8' (tree nuts/almonds/walnuts/cashews/pistachios) on individual dishes: Hummus Belahmeh (almonds), Lamb Kibbeh (walnuts), Maqluba (cashews, almonds), Lamb Mansaf (almonds), Knafeh (pistachio), Chocolate Brownie (pistachio), Lebanese Rice Pudding (pistachio), Baklawa (nuts), Mohammarah and Cheese (walnuts). Nut-containing dishes are identifiable but nuts are pervasive across the menu and no dedicated nut-free prep area is mentioned. High cross-contamination risk for nut-anaphylaxis diners.

marked menu

Dairy-free

confidence 0.60 ·

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

Dairy (allergen code '7') is marked on individual dishes including Grilled Haloumi, Lamb Kibbeh (yogurt sauce), Lebanese Grilled Chicken (garlic sauce), Beef Moussaka (mozzarella), Lamb Mansaf (yogurt sauce), all cheese Manaeesh, Knafeh, Chocolate Brownie, Lebanese Rice Pudding and Pistachio Ice Cream. Several dishes carry no dairy code and may be dairy-free. No dedicated prep area or accreditation; shared kitchen risk applies.

marked menu

Shellfish-free

confidence 0.55 ·

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

Allergen code '2' (crustaceans/shellfish) appears on the Chilli and Garlic Shrimp Zibdieh. This is the only shellfish dish on the menu; all other dishes are coded without '2'. No dedicated prep area or allergen separation for shellfish is mentioned. Cross-contamination risk in a shared kitchen cannot be ruled out.

marked menu

Pescatarian

confidence 0.55 ·

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

The Chilli and Garlic Shrimp Zibdieh is the only seafood/fish dish on the menu; the rest of the menu centres on chicken, lamb and beef. Pescatarians can identify fish/shellfish dishes via allergen code '2' but the menu is predominantly land-animal meat-based and does not explicitly cater to pescatarians as a dietary category.
