Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The venue's own menu marks many items as 'Glutensiz' (gluten-free) and offers a dedicated GF bread option. However, multiple community reports on FindMeGlutenFree state that the kitchen is shared and cross-contamination risk is acknowledged. One symptomatic coeliac reviewer explicitly warns the GF baked goods are made in the same kitchen and are not safe for coeliacs. No accreditation or dedicated kitchen is claimed.
