Restauracja Mazaya

The restaurant presents itself as a vegetarian/vegan restaurant. The entire menu is vegetarian. The only non-vegan items are cheese, specifically feta and halloumi, along with possibly some dairy. The owner and staff are clearly invested in vegetarian cuisine. This creates an insider-led environment for vegetarian needs.

The venue is described as a vegetarian restaurant with many vegan options. The Wolt menu clearly marks vegan dishes with a 🌱 symbol. However, multiple HappyCow and Spinach reviews note that vegan options are not always clearly marked on the in-house menu, and some dishes labeled vegan may contain hidden animal ingredients. Staff knowledge is generally good but inconsistent.

On restaurants-info.com, Restauracja Mazaya is listed as a halal food option. The restaurant’s Middle Eastern and Syrian focus makes halal compliance likely, although no official certification is mentioned.

Falafel itself is gluten-free, and the venue is accommodating (extra falafel instead of pita). However, there is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen, no marked gluten-free menu, and pita bread (containing gluten) is a core menu item. Cross-contamination risk is present. Gluten-free options are available on request.

Dairy appears as feta cheese, halloumi, and tzatziki. Some dishes are dairy-free (marked vegan), though no dedicated dairy-free preparation area exists. Staff can accommodate requests, but cross-contamination risk exists in a shared kitchen.

Walnuts are used in several dishes, such as Kebbe, Makdous, and Hummus with vegan meat. The kitchen is not indicated as nut-free, and no nut-free options are marked. Any accommodation would be available only on request.

No specific egg-free information is available. The restaurant is primarily vegan/vegetarian, so eggs are unlikely to be a major ingredient, but no dedicated protocols are mentioned.

Soy is used in the Shish Kebab (soy-based mass) and likely in vegan meat substitutes. No soy-free protocols are mentioned.
