HaKosem

Multiple reviewers report that HaKosem provides gluten-free pita and falafel from a dedicated fryer. Staff will change gloves and clean surfaces when asked. That said, the kitchen also uses regular wheat-based pita and falafel, and toppings are taken from shared containers. Several diners note inconsistent cross-contact awareness among different staff members and at different times. Because the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, coeliac diners should confirm current protocols with the manager before ordering.

Falafel and several salad toppings are vegan-friendly, and the HappyCow listing marks vegan options. However, the venue also serves meat (shawarma) in the same workspace, and there is no evidence of dedicated vegan preparation or separate equipment. Staff should be asked to avoid cross-contact with meat items.

The venue is primarily a falafel and vegetarian-friendly eatery, with hummus, salads, and deep-fried eggplant. Most menu items are vegetarian by default, though the same kitchen also prepares shawarma (meat). No dedicated vegetarian preparation surfaces were noted.

TripAdvisor metadata lists 'Kosher' as a feature, but no source provides a kosher certification, supervising authority, or details on kitchen practices such as separate meat/dairy equipment or closing hours. The venue serves both meat (shawarma) and dairy-like items (hummus, salads), which would require a kosher-certified kitchen, but there is no evidence of certification or supervision. Call ahead to verify current kosher status.

A single HappyCow review notes 'Specify no egg if ordering sabih,' suggesting egg is present in some dishes (likely sabih). There is no information about separate preparation, allergen marking, or staff ability to handle egg-free requests beyond that one instruction. Call ahead to confirm egg-free options.

TripAdvisor metadata includes 'Kosher' in the features list, but no source explicitly states the venue is halal-certified or follows halal practices. The venue serves meat, including shawarma, and is located in Tel Aviv, but without a halal certification or clear sourcing statement, halal status cannot be confirmed.

The listing for HaKosem on FindMeGlutenFree suggests the venue may be dairy-free-friendly, but the citation is a generic aggregator page that repeats only gluten-free claims. No source describes dairy-free preparation, separate equipment, or staff awareness of dairy allergy. A single HappyCow review mentions sabih (which contains egg) but raises no dairy concerns. There is no evidence the venue can reliably accommodate dairy-free orders.
