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

The restaurant offers a vegetarian sampler with a range of dishes including chickpeas, lentils, split peas, collard greens, and potatoes. The vegetarian menu is extensive, but dishes are prepared in a shared kitchen alongside meat. No dedicated vegetarian equipment is mentioned, but the 2010 blog cites safe ordering for food-allergic diners from the vegetarian menu, suggesting staff awareness.

Dairy-free

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

The FindMeGlutenFree listing tags the venue as 'good for dairy-free' in its community-reported metadata, and a reviewer mentions it. Ethiopian cuisine traditionally uses little dairy, but cross-contamination from shared kitchen cooking is possible in a kitchen serving meat dishes. No marked menu or dedicated dairy-free prep area is noted, but options are available by request.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

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.

An Ethiopian restaurant in Nuremberg serving traditional injera and cooked dishes. A verified-coeliac reviewer reports experiencing severe gluten contamination — vomiting and hours of illness — despite telling staff about the gluten-free requirement and the waiter explicitly labelling the food gluten-free. The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, there is no dedicated fryer, no marked gluten-free menu exists beyond an occasional dessert option, and no dedicated equipment or trained-coeliac protocols are noted. Given a documented severe-reaction account, this venue is not recommended for anyone with coeliac disease.

Honest caveat: A verified coeliac reviewer reported severe illness after staff assured a dish was gluten-free, indicating a serious cross-contamination risk.
