⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The business profile indicates it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means cross-contact is a potential risk for certain dishes.
- Several reviews reference separate fryers or dedicated preparation for GF orders, but not all items are guaranteed to be prepared in isolation. This can introduce variability based on the dish and kitchen workflow.
- A few older experiences mention gaps between what’s requested and what is served (e.g., dairy or other allergens), underscoring the importance of explicit communication at the time of ordering.
