Happea's Mediterranean Grill

The restaurant operated as a fully vegan establishment from 2020 until April 2023, when meat dishes were added. Vegan choices are now clearly marked and include bowls, pockets with a vegan protein substitute, and vegan dressings. These items are prepared alongside meat dishes. Management states that separate griddles and utensils are used for vegan proteins, though the kitchen is shared. Several HappyCow reviews confirm that vegan options remain available and are still tasty. Multiple reviewers, however, express disappointment that the restaurant is no longer fully vegan.

Vegetarian options are readily available on the menu and can be customized. The kitchen serves meat, so shared equipment is the norm, but management maintains separate utensils for vegan/vegetarian proteins. No specific vegetarian-dedicated accreditation or kitchen exists.

Management states dairy is limited to the coffee and dessert stations, where milk and ice cream are used, and is absent from the main cooking and assembly line. Separate griddles and utensils are designated for vegan proteins. A 2024 HappyCow reviewer reported that their wife, who has a severe dairy allergy, became ill after eating a vegan bowl that contained no obvious dairy source. This conflicting information, between management’s assertion of segregation and a documented reaction, places this at Tier D.

The owner states on the venue's own listing that they cannot accommodate coeliacs or anyone who cannot tolerate gluten cross-contact. No gluten-free menu is offered. Some older reviews from customers with coeliac disease report positive experiences, but the owner's current and unambiguous safety warning overrides those reports. This venue is inappropriate for coeliac dining.
