confidence 60% ·

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

The online ordering menu marks several items as 'Gluten-Free' (e.g., Chicken Tikka Masala, Tarka Daal, Grilled Chicken Boti Sizzler). However, the kitchen is shared and no information about dedicated fryers, separate prep areas, or cross-contact protocols is available. The gluten-free labels are menu claims without independent verification. Call ahead to confirm kitchen practices.

Several menu items are tagged 'Vegan' (e.g., Tarka Daal, Veggie Samosas as a dairy-free option). However, the Veggie Samosas note 'Green Sauce contains yogurt!' which contradicts the vegan label unless the sauce is omitted. No information on shared equipment or cross-contact is provided. Confirm with staff before ordering.
