C
confidence 70%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The restaurant offers a handful of lacto-vegetarian dishes: vegetable shashlik, grilled vegetables, lentil and mushroom cream soups, and baked potatoes. Staff awareness varies. One helpful waiter guided a diner through vegan modifications, but other reviews note unhelpful service and language barriers. The kitchen is heavily meat-oriented and shares a grill, so cross-contact with meat is likely. Calling ahead to confirm with the specific staff on shift is the best option.

Honest caveat: One reviewer reports a strong taste of meat on grilled vegetables, indicating shared grill cross-contact.

Vegan

Best effort ·what tier C means

Some dishes can be made vegan upon request (e.g. grilled vegetables without beef) and a helpful waiter has been noted to point out dairy-containing items such as bread and buttered potatoes. However, the menu is mostly meat-oriented, staff helpfulness and language skills vary, and shared-grill cross-contact with meat has been reported. No dedicated vegan menu or kitchen practices are in place. Call ahead and confirm modifications with the serving staff.

Honest caveat: One reviewer reports a strong taste of meat on grilled vegetables from a shared grill.

Dairy-free

E
confidence 40%
Limited information ·what tier E means

One reviewer reports that a helpful waiter proactively warned that the bread contains milk and the potatoes have butter. This thin signal suggests some staff awareness of dairy in specific dishes, but there is no dairy-free menu, no dedicated kitchen practices, and no further corroboration across other sources. Call ahead to discuss dairy needs with staff.

Egg-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

A venue description notes that some salads contain mayonnaise and/or egg, but each salad lists its ingredients. This is a thin signal: it implies some ingredient transparency for egg but not a dedicated egg-free kitchen or menu. No further evidence about egg handling or cross-contact exists. Call ahead to discuss needs.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

D
confidence 65%
Not recommended ·what tier D means

Multiple sources confirm the venue does not have a gluten-free menu. A shared grill and no dedicated gluten-free equipment are reported, with a general warning that the establishment is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. While one review mentions a helpful waiter with some knowledge of gluten-free needs, the absence of any formal GF menu or cross-contact mitigations makes this an unsafe choice for coeliac diners.

Honest caveat: Two independent aggregator sources report the venue has no gluten-free menu and is not a dedicated GF facility.
