Zanzibar

Zanzibar does not have a gluten-free menu, but staff can accommodate on request. The kitchen is shared with no dedicated fryer or prep space. One coeliac diner reported the only item guaranteed free of cross-contamination was wings after the waiter checked with the kitchen. Another symptomatic coeliac reported 'no safe food options here'. A third coeliac diner found the waitress unaware that teriyaki glaze contains gluten, and confirmed no GF prep space exists. The venue's own website does not mention allergen marking on its menus.
