Ichikidana Indian cuisine

The venue explicitly describes itself as a vegetarian restaurant on its own website, so vegetarian fit is built into the kitchen's identity. No cross-contamination concern noted for vegetarian vs meat, but dairy is extensively used. This classification only covers the vegetarian (no meat/fish) aspect.

Per-allergen evidence

Vegetarian

confidence 85% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 45% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

HappyCow tags the venue as 'Gluten-free' in its category list, but no menu markings, dedicated kitchen, or staff training on gluten are mentioned. No dedicated fryer or separate prep area noted. A diner with coeliac should call ahead and ask about cross-contamination before relying on gluten-free options.

Vegan

confidence 55% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Half the menu is described as vegan, and staff have accommodated vegan requests in the past, but the menu itself does not mark vegan dishes. One report of helpful staff mixing dishes, another of being told a dish was dairy-free and being served a chapati swimming in butter. Ask in detail what makes a dish vegan when ordering.

Honest caveat: A diner reported being assured a dish was dairy-free but receiving a chapati covered in butter, suggesting poor staff training on vegan/dairy cross-contamination.

Kosher

confidence 70% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The venue's own website claims it is kosher, and a kosher blog covered its opening as a new kosher dairy restaurant. However, one HappyCow reviewer called the kosher certificate 'weird', suggesting some ambiguity about the supervision. If kosher compliance matters, call ahead to confirm the current certification.

Honest caveat: One HappyCow reviewer flagged the kosher certificate as 'weird', though the detail is not elaborated.

Dairy-free

confidence 65% ·

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.

Multiple reports indicate dairy is widespread in the kitchen (butter on the chapati, no allergen indication on the menu) and staff have given incorrect dairy-free assurances. Diners with dairy intolerance or allergy are at risk of receiving dishes with hidden dairy.

Honest caveat: One reviewer explicitly states they were told a dish had no dairy but were served chapati 'swimming in butter'; the same reviewer lists 'butter on everything' as a con.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
