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

The venue self-describes as 'all-vegan and vegetarian' but is actually a lacto-vegetarian kitchen (dairy used). Vegan items are marked on the menu (V symbol). Staff can veganise many dishes. However, three independent HappyCow reviews report receiving dairy (paneer/cheese) when ordering vegan, indicating a real cross-contamination risk. Shared prep area, no dedicated vegan fryer or kitchen.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

No gluten-free labelling on the official menu. Two HappyCow reviews note that staff are knowledgeable and can identify GF items (curries are naturally gluten-free). No dedicated fryer, kitchen, or accreditation reported. The venue does not appear on FindMeGlutenFree or celiac-friendly lists. Cross-contamination risk is typical of a shared kitchen.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.50 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Dairy is used throughout the kitchen (paneer, ghee, yogurt). The menu marks vegan items with V, which are dairy-free, but there is no dedicated dairy-free area. Multiple reports of dairy being accidentally served in vegan orders. Accommodation possible on request, but risk of cross-contact is high.
