NOVA

confidence 50% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The Good Eats Cayman directory tags NOVA as 'Vegetarian Friendly', and the FindMeGlutenFree reviewer notes it's 'super easy to do vegetarian'. The all-day menu includes several vegetarian dishes (e.g., truffle fries, burrata, mushroom risotto). No dedicated vegetarian kitchen or marked menu, but options are clearly available.

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.

A single FindMeGlutenFree review reports that staff will clean the kitchen space and change gloves, and that most menu items have a gluten-free alternative (including gluten-free ponzu). However, the venue is not dedicated gluten-free, has no dedicated fryer, and does not have a gluten-free menu. The official menu pages list gluten-containing items (gyoza, spaghetti, ladyfingers) with no allergen markings. Best to call ahead and confirm with the chef.

Honest caveat: No dedicated fryer; shared kitchen with gluten-containing dishes.

The Good Eats Cayman directory tags NOVA as 'Vegan Friendly', and the all-day menu lists a few items that could be vegan (e.g., truffle fries, edamame). However, the official menu has no vegan markings, and many dishes contain dairy, eggs, or honey. The FindMeGlutenFree reviewer mentions it's easy to do vegetarian/pescatarian but does not specifically address vegan. Call ahead to confirm options.

A review on GoodForAllergies (for a different NOVA location in the UK) reports that staff quickly provided an alternative appetizer when a nut allergy was mentioned. This is a positive signal for staff attentiveness, but it applies to a different branch and the Cayman location's official menu lists nut-containing items (pistachio ice cream, almond crust) with no allergen markings. Call ahead to discuss.

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

The official all-day and dessert menus list many dairy-containing items (parmesan, buttermilk, burrata, ice cream, semifreddo) with no dairy-free markings or alternatives mentioned. No source provides any positive signal about dairy accommodations. This is a thin signal of absence rather than a recommendation.
