Casa Teranga

confidence 85% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The restaurant is a strongly vegan-focused kitchen run by an Italian-Senegalese couple who are themselves vegan. The core identity is plant-based, with almost all dishes being vegan — though some pizzas now use cow's cheese (added June 2025), so a small number of items are vegetarian only. Staff are knowledgeable and the concept is intentional rather than accidental, making this a highly reliable choice for vegans despite the single cheese exception.

Honest caveat: Some pizzas now contain dairy cheese (added June 2025); check before ordering.

The entire menu is vegetarian by design — the restaurant is described as fully vegetarian and vegan. All dishes, including those using cow's cheese, are suitable for vegetarians. This is a high-care, intentional kitchen.

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

Most dishes are fully plant-based and dairy-free, with the notable exception of some pizzas that now use cow's cheese (added June 2025). The core menu — bowls, pastas, smoothies — is dairy-free by design. The kitchen is small and ingredient-focused; cross-contamination risk for dairy is minimal since most ingredients are naturally dairy-free, but no dedicated equipment or separate prep area is documented. Vegans and dairy-free diners should confirm with staff which specific items contain dairy.

Honest caveat: Some pizzas now contain cow's cheese (as of June 2025).

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 SénéGuide listing and one blog mention 'gluten free' as a feature, alongside 'vegan' and 'zero waste'. However no source describes dedicated equipment, a gluten-free-only kitchen, staff training on cross-contamination, or an accreditation. The signal is thin — it may refer to some menu items being gluten-free by ingredient rather than by kitchen protocol. Call ahead and confirm.
