No gluten-free menu marking; staff knowledge varies widely.
Per-allergen evidence
No gluten-free menu marking; staff knowledge varies widely. Some chefs accommodate well, but a symptomatic coeliac reported being served couscous after explicitly ordering gluten-free; staff confused 'trigo' (wheat) as not gluten. Cross-contamination risk is high due to shared kitchen and fryer (some reviewers mention dedicated fryer, others deny it). No accreditation or dedicated facility.
