What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Lamb kebabs (lamb kabobs) – described by diners as safe.
- Cassava leaf stew – described as flour-free and safe by a diner.
- Plantains – possible to order with a freshly started oil if requested.
- Vegetable soup – mentioned as safe in at least one positive review.
- Gluten-free cake dessert (according to community listings noting a GF dessert option) – mentioned as available in GF listings.
- Important caution: meat pie is noted as flour-containing and not GF-safe.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk exists if shared equipment or fryers are used without precautions.
- Some dishes are explicitly described as flour-free, but flour may still appear in other items (e.g., meat pie) or in sauces/thickeners unless clearly specified.
- There are signs of proactive measures (e.g., offering a separate oil for plantains), but it’s not clear if those practices are consistently applied to all gluten-free requests or all fried items.
- The safest approach is to have a direct, in-person discussion with staff about gluten-free needs, confirm oil changes, and confirm the avoidance of flour in all dishes you plan to order.
