The venue describes itself as 'kosher-certified' in its own homepage copy and structured data ('The entire menu is vegan and certified kosher'). This claim appears consistently across multiple pages of the venue's own website and is echoed by an independent aggregator listing it as a 'Kosher restaurant'. The certifying body is not named in the available sources — no known slug can be confirmed — but the claim is structurally consistent and venue-official.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

HappyCow lists 'Gluten-free' as a feature and the venue's own blog markets 'vegan gluten free NYC' options, noting many plant-based dishes 'naturally support gluten-free lifestyles'. A community reviewer mentions 'many options to choose from, including gluten free options'. One reviewer noted staff are 'very helpful for guests with allergies'. However, no dedicated gluten-free fryer or prep area is mentioned, no coeliac accreditation exists, and the menu includes items like flatbread pizzas, lasagna, ravioli, cornbread, and brioche bread — indicating gluten is actively present in the kitchen. Gluten-free options appear to be available on a shared-kitchen basis, making this Tier D.
